You overhear the bandits talking and realize that your lost Backpack Items have aroused their suspicions that there is an intruder in the citadel. They avoid touching the dargorse buds, but they take the other two items and then walk towards the tunnel by which you entered the citadel.

A short flight of iron steps ascends to a long, low-ceilinged hall. Its plastered walls are decorated with frescoes that depict enslaved humans, bedecked with chains and heads bowed in defeat, parading in a line before a triumphant group of Drakkarim warlords. At the far end of this hall you discover three identical doors recessed into the painted wall.
