Later straw and an unlit candle were discovered in the external corridor. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 45, Sentence #129)

The fourth act, an act which failed, was the attempt to treat the 'Central Room' similarly. In this case, however, the would-be arsonist, doubtless to his dismay, was challenged by the guard whom Thrasymedes and I had posted, having earlier in the afternoon become aware of some missing stores. Challenged, the would-be arsonist had feigned confusion in the darkness, pacified the guard, and withdrawn. Later straw and an unlit candle were discovered in the external corridor. At that point, the stranger in the darkness, in his intended fifth act, had made his way to my quarters, where, in fury and terror, he soon realized he had spent his attack not on a living body but on rolls of bundled cloth. We later discovered the body of the slain tunnel guard and the evidence of the killer's exit through the tunnel, within feet of the sunken metal rod, by tapping on which Tarchon had identified the point at which the tunnel might be safely opened. "It was Tarchon," said Thrasymedes. - (Avengers of Gor)
