Your Kai camouflage skills keep you hidden despite the glare of the gaolers’ torches. As soon as they have passed by, you slip inside the guardroom and retrieve your confiscated equipment (you may now erase the asterisks from your Action Chart).
As you are sheathing your Kai Weapon into your belt, you hear the guards returning along the corridor. Looking around, you see that there is one other exit from this room—a heavy oak door which is banded with strips of black iron.
