	You leap onto the iron gate and climb with cat-like 
Š	speed and grace. Unfortunately, as you leap over, you 
Š	snag your backpack on a spike. You pull free, but in 
Š	doing so you destroy one item in your pack (erase 
Š	from your ιAction Chartι the item which you have 
Š	recorded last on your list of Backpack Items).
	
	You drop to the street beyond and follow it to a 
Š	tree-lined plaza which is bordered by shops that sell 
Š	rare artifacts and expensive works of art. Their 
Š	windows and doors are securely barred and shuttered 
Š	and show no signs of a forced entry.	Then your eye is 
Š	drawn to a grand building on the far side of the 
Š	plaza: it is a temple. Its great stone door is 
Š	closed, but a smaller wooden door at the side has 
Š	been torn off its hinges. You magnify your vision and 
Š	see that beyond the door are a flight of stone steps 
Š	which ascend to a belltower.
	
	Cautiously you approach the shattered door. You 
Š	unsheathe your weapon and scan the darkened stairs 
Š	before silently you move up the steps. You have 
Š	climbed twenty steps when suddenly you hear a hideous 
Š	snickering growl and an icy chill runs the length of 
Š	your spine. There is an ominous creak of stone on 
Š	stone and a movement in the darkness above, then a 
Š	crashing fills your ears. Out of the darkness you see 
Š	a great marble statue come smashing down the narrow 
Š	stairway. It rapidly gathers speed as it tumbles end 
Š	over end towards you.
