The Gaming Den

You are in a north-south corridor. To the west is a door with some writing on it. All you can make out is something like "Warning (smear) only". You can enter the room, go north or continue south.

You are at a bend in the passage. Roll to see if a random encounter happens. (5, it does not)

Can go east or south.

There is a slight earthquake, and part of the ceiling collapses, blocking off the entrance room. From now on, every turn you spend resting, roll one die. If the result is one, go to the Random Encounter Table 1 and face the encounter. You are now in an east-west passageway. to the east, you see a door. To the west, the passage bends.

If you are wearing any metallic armour, go to 51. If not, go to 189.

As you enter the room, all of your metallic equipment is ripped away from you and is now attached to a huge magnet. You may examine the magnet by going to 97, or wait a turn by going to 125.

The magnet has a lever at its base with three settings. It is currently pulled towards you. You may push the lever into its middle position, push its position away from you, or do nothing.

Your equipment falls to the floor. Simultaneously, two orcs emerge from a secret door in the south wall. You have one free turn to cast a spell, grab a metal weapon that just fell, or fire a missile.

On each of the corpses, you find 25 gp and a medallion. This medallion demagnetises anything you touch as long as you touch it or it is on your person. This allows you to recover all of your items from the magnet and use them. You hear a click and realise that the magnet has shut itself off. Looking don the secret door, you see what looks like a huge ball blocking a corridor which leads from the door. You may examine the magnet further or leave the same way you entered.

You have come to the end of the corridor. It is a dead end except for what looks like a carving dug into the south wall. You may head back north or try an item or spell. For every unsuccessful attempt a random encounter happens on a roll of 1, 2 or 3.

You have successfully entered the room. It is empty except for a skull on a pedestal in the dead centre of the room. Closer examination reveals that the skull has diamonds for eyes. Also, the interior bones are missing, and the skull has been cut into two halves which are connected by a hinge in the back. You may wear the skull over your head. When you first try it on, you realise that the rest of your body has been turned into a skeleton and will remain that was until you remove the skull. Right now the skull has permitted you to see a secret door in the east wall. Whenever you reach a paragraph that begins with an "&" go immediately to the skull chart and find the effect. You may now leave through the secret door (which appears to be one-way).
