The pungent aroma of metal polish and toa oil assails your nostrils the moment you step through the door of this little back-street armoury. The owner is seated on a stool beside the counter, and he nods benignly as you browse through his racks of weapons. Fixed to the wall behind him is a sign which displays the price of his wares:

- Arrows 1 Gold Crown (per arrow)
- Daggers 3 Gold Crowns
- Quarterstaves 3 Gold Crowns
- Spears 5 Gold Crowns
- Short Swords 6 Gold Crowns
- Axes 6 Gold Crowns
- Maces 6 Gold Crowns
- Swords 7 Gold Crowns
- Warhammers 7 Gold Crowns
- Broadswords 9 Gold Crowns
- Bows 10 Gold Crowns

If you wish to purchase any of the above Weapons, remember to make the appropriate adjustment to your Action Chart.

Before you leave his shop, you ask the owner if he knows the way to Flank Street. He cannot reply for he is mute, but he points at his shop door and then to the left to indicate the direction. You thank the man and turn left as you leave his armoury, continuing on your way along North Watch Lane.

Turn to 147.
