You gently prise the lid off the box, but as you do so, a yellow gas escapes and envelops your face. (Dick possesses Nose Filters.)
The gas is toxic and your eyes start to water. You hold your breath long enough to find the Nose Filters and slip them into place inside your nostrils. You inhale tentatively, but all is well. After a while, the gas cloud around your face fades away. You put the silver box into your backpack and leave the cave to continue your quest northwards.
Walking along the path, you do not notice a rope noose hidden beneath some fallen leaves ahead of you. Your foot catches in the noose and suddenly you are hauled into the air by the rope which is tied to a sprung tree. In a second you are hanging upside down, suspended by your trapped foot. Test your Luck. (1,2=3; Lucky.) Your sword remains in its scabbard, and you are able to use it to cut yourself down from the man trap.
You get to your feet and curse, brushing the dirt from your clothes with your hands. You are tempted to wait around to discover who set the trap, but decide against it. You continue northwards.
You notice a knotted vine hanging down to the ground from a tree on your left. You look up and see a roughly made tree house amid the branches.
If you want to climb up the vine to the tree house
If you wish to continue walking north

The Ape Man is very agile around the tree, and you have difficulty brandishing your sword. You must deduct 2 from your Attack Strength during each round of combat.
APE MAN SKILL 8 STAMINA 7
(And now our Potion of Weapon Skill is done for. We're at 7 STAMINA; do we want to eat a meal or two?)
You step over the body of the Ape Man and enter his living area. Animal bones and rotting fruit litter the floor. The Ape Man's bed is made of moss and lichen and seems to be crawling with bugs. You shudder and step back out on to the platform. You then notice a copper bracelet around the Ape Man's wrist.
If you want to put it around your own wrist
If you would rather climb down the vine to the path, and carry on walking northwards

(There's consensus on eating 2 meals, so we do that. And picking randomly says we try on the bracelet.)
You twist the bracelet into place on your wrist. A powerful feeling surges through your arm and makes you jump. Your arm feels strong. You now possess a Bracelet of Skill which will allow you to add 1 point to all future dice rolls when computing your own Attack Strength during combat for as long as you wear it. Note this on your Equipment List. You now climb down the vine and continue northwards along the path.
Soon the path leads out of the trees on to a large plain with tall grasses. Beyond it you see rising ground and, further off, some low hills. The path splits and goes into three directions.
If you want to go west
If you want to go east
If you want to continue north

The path ends at another junction. The way south leads back to the forest so you decide to head north.
Walking quickly along the path through waist-high grass, you arrive at another junction in the path.

From not too far ahead comes the sharp noise of barking dogs drawing nearer. Suddenly a brown fox with eyes wide open in fear dashes past you running east. The frantic yelping of the dogs gets louder.
If you wish to face the oncoming pack of dogs
If you would rather hide in the tall grasses off the path and let them run past in pursuit of the fox

You nod your head at the masked rider and bid him good day. He nods back but says nothing. You tell him of your quest to help the dwarfs of Stonebridge; he then jumps down from his mount, throws back his cape and extends his right arm to shake your hand. You see that each of his fingers is adorned by a large gold ring. Will you:
Attack him for his gold?
Carry on the conversation?

The man smiles and takes off his mask, explaining that he wore it to protect him against the dust and not to hide the face of a robber. You sheathe your sword and relax a little. The man tells you that he is a hunter and that the best game in all the northern borderlands can be found on this glassy plain within Darkwood Forest. He says that his hounds were chasing a Wild Boar when they lost its scent and picked up that of the fox mistakenly. He warns you of some of the dangerous beasts that lurk in these parts and finally says, 'And if you are going to spend the night in Darkwood, you might need some of this.' He drops some belladonna into your hand and jumps back on his stallion. Then with a sudden blow of his horn, the dogs run off east. He turns and waves to you before galloping off in pursuit of his dogs. You put the belladonna into your backpack and set off west again.
You soon arrive at a crossroads. The way south leads back to the forest so you decide to ignore it. You may either keep going west or head north.

As you enter the hut the big man smiles. He looks pleased to see you and starts to speak in a deep voice. 'Welcome stranger. My name is Quin and I earn my living by my arms. Would you care for a little wager perhaps at arm wrestling?' (There's a choice to refuse, but I'm sure we won't take it.)
(Dick possesses an Armband of Strength.)
Quin explains that he will wager some Dust of Levitation against an item or coins to the value of 10 Gold Pieces. As you sit down at the table opposite him, you deftly slip the Armband of Strength on to your arm. You put your elbow on to the table and lock hands with him. His grip is like an iron jaw and his dark slanted eyes look confident. His biceps bulge and he gives the signal for the contest to begin. You start to push his arm down and are amazed at your own strength. Sweat breaks out on his forehead and you can see the disbelief and pain on his face. You push harder and force his arm on to the table in defeat.
Quin stands up and walks silently to a wooden chest at the back of the hut. He lifts the lid and pulls out a small glass phial. He hands it to you and walks back to the table, where he slumps in his chair looking thoroughly dejected. The dust in the phial sparkles in the light and you put it into your backpack and leave the hut. Outside you walk back to the junction in the path.
You arrive back at the crossroads. Ignoring the way south back to the forest you may go north or continue east.
(East, strangely enough, is the direction we came from. This passage seems to assume we came from the south.)
