Fred's Continuing Communication Problem

Only then did it occur to him to wonder where the girl had got the crossbow. It couldn't be far away, she she had only been gone a short time - fortunately for him. He could see that it was of high quality. If it came from an armoury, perhaps there were other things there which he could use. "Where did you get the crossbow?" he asked Ashijfhwlo.

She looked blankly at him, apparently not having understood the question. "V qba'g haqrefgnaq," she said.

Fred sighed. Then he gently took the crossbow from her and pointed at it, before returning it to her. Comprehension dawned in those amazing eyes. "Bs pbhefr. V fubhyq unir ernyvfrq lbh jrer nfxvat nobhg gur pebffobj," she said. She led him back up the passage he had come down, but then took a fork to the left. A short distance further on, there was an open door in the tunnel wall. Ashijfhwlo pointed inside. This must be where she had got the crossbow.

1. The room was full of armour and weapons of all descriptions.
2. But there seemed to be no more weapons in the room.
