Š Thankfully the hill road is in a good state of repair Š and you are able to relax and enjoy the magnificent Š scenery as you travel towards the Koneshi mountains. Š It is early in the evening when you come to a stone Š bridge which passes over a steep-sided gorge. On the Š far side of the bridge you can see a toll booth and an Š inn and a few stone hovels which comprise a tiny Š mountain village. With daylight fast fading you decide Š to cross the gorge and spend the night at the inn. You Š are halfway across the bridge when a muscular young Š man, dressed in a scarlet mhaktis and clutching a Š ceremonial sword, emerges from the toll booth and Š signals for you to halt. He tells you that if you wish Š to cross the bridge and spend the night at the Š mountain inn, the price will be 20 Gold Crowns. If you wish to pay this price, amend your ιAction Chartι Š accordingly and turn to β37β If you do not have sufficient Gold Crowns, or if you Š simply refuse to pay this sum, turn instead to β338β
