You follow the corridor carefully, until it veers sharply to the right. At the end of it, you can see a set of grand double doors, guarded by two massive spirits.
If you are not wearing armor from the armory, go to the Combat paragraph.
If you are wearing armour from the armory, you can choose to fight (go to Combat paragraph) or to backtrack quickly (go to Backtrack paragraph).
Combat
GUARD 1 (spirit)
Life points: 5
Weapon: halberd - long weapon.
Dice rolls: throw two dice - get a random number from a 1-12 draw.
1 to 4 : you fail your attack and the man strikes back. Lose 1 life point.
5 to 7 : the man blocks your attack.
8 to 12 : your attack carries. The man loses 1 life point.

If you survive this fight, go on to the second guard.
If you did not, go to the very last part.

Life points: 5
Weapon: unarmed.

1 to 4 : you fail your attack and the man strikes back. Lose 1 life point.
5 to 7 : the man blocks your attack.
8 to 12 : your attack carries. The man loses 1 life point.

If you survive this fight, move on to the paragraph Did Not Backtrack.
If you did not, go to the very last part.
Backtrack
You take advantage, quickly, of the fact that the guards don't seem to have noticed you stole this armor, and you turn around and smoothly make your way back from where you came.
If you wish to go back to the door, go to Chapter Forty-Nine.
If you wish to go back to the Riddle Room and solve the riddle, go to Chapter Forty-One.
Did not Backtrack
You stand before the double-doors, chest heaving as you catch your breath.
It's time to end this. Go to Chapter Forty-Eight.
