You draw upon your Grand Master skill and silently command the little dog to cease its incessant barking. At once the hound obeys your order; it settles itself down again upon its bed of riches and closes its eyes. The Eldenorans seem amused by their dog’s erratic behaviour and they jabber about it as they finish off their meal. Then they decide to follow his example. They extinguish their candle and you wait patiently for all three of them to fall asleep.

If you decide to enter the chamber and examine the pile of loot while the Eldenorans and their dog are sleeping, turn to 310.

If you wish to leave the mine, you can retrace your steps back to the surface by turning to 213.
