<p>The houses and buildings of the capital are built very close to each other, and it is possible to jump from one roof to the next. In fact many of the citizens of Holmgard used to use the <quote>Roofways</quote> (as they are known) when the heavy autumn rains made the unpaved parts of the streets too muddy for walking. But after many accidents, a royal decree forbade their use.</p>
<p>After careful thought, you decide to use the <quote>Roofways</quote>, as they are your only chance of reaching the King. You have hopped, skipped and jumped across several streets and you are only one street away from the citadel when you come to the end of a row of rooftops.</p>

You see him turn and raise his left hand just before a bolt of blue flame shoots from his fingertips into the snarling Giak soldiers.

He has a long curved dagger in his mouth and he is about to jump on the young wizard standing below.</p>

<p>You may take this Weapon only if you exchange it for another Weapon already in your possession, for it is the only defence that the hermit has against the enemy.</p>
