At this they leap up, whipping out their blades, and move to attack.

Tyutchev's sword is almost as tall as you are and he wields it negligently in one hand. Cassandra's glows coldly. Each time she hits you, you must subtract 3 Stamina points. You must fight them both at the same time.

If you reduce Cassandra's Stamina to 4 or less, she drops back and Tyutchev moves in to block you from striking her.


If you reduce Tyutchev's Stamina to 4 or less, turn to Section 353.



Section 353 posted:


Your last blow has drawn a gout of blood from Tyutchev's side. He jumps back and cries, "Anarchil, breaker of edifices, aid me!"

Before you can strike the killing blow, the cellar starts to shake. An earthquake opens great cracks in the floor. There is a roar of tumbling masonry and the inn is filled with dust.

In the confusion, Tyutchev and Cassandra make good their escape. When the quake has stopped, you climb the steps and leave.


Turn to Section 289.



Section 289 posted:


You step out, squinting against the bright light of the late afternoon sun. Add 1 Luck point for visiting the Red Dragon Inn and living to tell the tale.

You are back in the Street of Seven Sins.


If you have met a Sage and he has invited you to dinner, and you wish to take up his invitation, turn to Section 229.

If you have not been invited or do not wish to go, you may:

Go down a side street called Cobbler's Walk, heading west (turn to Section 195); or

Go down Merchant Street, heading north-west (turn to Section 394).

Section 216 posted:


The boy leads you to the Guilds of Learning. You hurry down a cloister, which surrounds a square of tall grass speckled with scarlet poppies, and on towards a huge greenhouse made of tarred wood and glass.

Two scholars wearing the pale blue robes of the Sages come out to greet you. One is spindly and bald, the other is very chubby and peers at you through his pince-nez.

They are obviously pleased to see you and introduce themselves as Moreau and Polonius. The fat one, Polonius, asks you to come with them, if you would like to earn twenty gold pieces for twenty minutes' work.


Will you go with them into the greenhouse? Turn to Section 182.

Or politely decline and go back to the Sage's house? Turn to Section 273.

Section 182 posted:


"We are scholars," says Moreau excitedly. "Vivisection is our field of study. We use surgery and magic to create new forms of life. Just wait till you see our creation."

They take you to a large sunken pit in the middle of the massive greenhouse. The pit is ringed at the top with downward pointing spikes. They lower a ladder and you all descend into it.

In a barred cage at the edge of the pit is a most loathsome sight. The scholars' creation is a massive beast with the body of a giant cockroach, six giant arms for legs and two heads, one above the other. The top one is the head of a crocodile and below is the warty face of an ogre.



"Isn't Susan beautiful?" Moreau sighs.

Polonius says, "Polonius and Moreau need the valiant warrior to test Betty's abilities. Do not worry, though - the minute Lisa looks like harming the valiant warrior, Polonius will put Marilyn to sleep with a special spell."

The ogre face roars and slavers as it senses you.


If you want to say, "Thanks but no thanks, I'm not fighting that", and leave immediately, turn to Section 201.

If you would rather say, "This should be interesting", and prepare to fight the beast, turn to Section 189.
