You reach up and grasp the hilt of the sword. The golden strand snaps as you tug it. You hold the sword out and test its balance. It is a fine, though unremarkable, weapon. Note it on your Character Sheet and continue by turning to 113.
113.113.
A little further along the corridor you come to a large oak portal with an iron latch in the shape of a bat. You push it open and survey the room beyond. Directly opposite you is a high arch leading from the room. Staring down from above this arch is a rather noxious bas relief of a sneering inhuman face.
A low whimpering draws your attention to the occupant of the room - presumably one of the poor souls Slank torments for his pleasure. She is a slender woman with light brown hair, her wrists bound by leather thongs to a wooden beam above her head. Her feet rest on a red-hot metal plate. You can see the sick ingenuity of the arrangement - she is able to lift her legs clear of the plate, but eventually her arms ache so much that she has to stand on it again and get burned. She sees you and starts pleading for you to release her. If you do so, turn to 228. If not, turn to 187.
Pues lo del cerrojo en forma de murciélago me hace pensar en vampiros. Tal vez no sea tan buena idea soltarla, peeeero..... me corroe la curiosidad.

You slice through her bonds with your knife and carry her over to a corner of the room where you gently set her down. The woman nurses her blistered feet for a while, then looks up at you and speaks. 'I was a witch, and I sold my soul to the demon in return for knowledge and occult power. For helping me, I will give you what little aid I can.' She puts a catskin pouch around your neck - increase your PSI score by 2 points (even above its normal level) for as long as you wear this. She also gives you three silver coins. These may show you the way,' she murmurs cryptically. You examine the coins and see that each has a unicorn's head on one face and a serpent's head with forked tongue on the other. You are about to question her further when you see that she has passed out. You moisten her lips with a little wine, then pocket the coins (remember to note them on your Character Sheet) and leave. Turn to 187.

After a brief uneasy glance at the bas relief, you step through the arch and make your way along a narrow twisting passage that leads deep into the heart of the castle. You pass through a succession of gloomy chambers and finally climb a worn flight of steps to a landing where three doors face you.
Turn to 147.
147.147.
Each door bears a plaque with an inscription on it, and these read as follows:
Copper plaque - To slay me you must pass through this door.
Bronze plaque - You should not pass through this door.
Lead plaque - The correct path is not beyond the copper-plaque door.
You grit your teeth. Slank is obviously toying with you. His mistake. You may open one of the doors - the door with the copper plaque (turn to 279), the one with the bronze plaque (turn to 300) or the one with the lead plaque (turn to 101). Or you may take an item from your backpack, in which case turn to 200.

You can use the crystal ball (turn to 272) or the three strange silver coins (turn to 5). If you have neither of these, or decide not to use them, turn back to 147 and open one of the doors.
272.272.
The doors do not look any different when you examine them through the gypsy's crystal ball. Turn back to 147 and think again.
5.5.
You toss the three coins down on the floor in front of you. One lands with the unicorn's head uppermost, the other two with the serpent's head. Does that give you any ideas? You can retrieve the coins if you wish, then turn back to 147 and choose which door to open
