Unfortunately your attempt to open the cell door attracts the unwanted attention of the three gaolers who occupy the guardroom at the end of the corridor. Armed with studded clubs, they come to your cell with the intention of punishing you severely. As soon as the bolt is pulled back, they storm through the doorway and lash out at you with their cruel staves. To save yourself from this beating you are forced to fight them barehanded.
