You take aim and hurl the wooden ball at the skull.<br/><br/><em>Here there is a test of Skill, which you... pass.</em><br/><br/>The wooden ball smashes into the skull, knocking it off the plinth and onto the floor.  Much to your surprise, the crossbows do not release their deadly bolts.  You step into the room cautiously and pick the skull up off the floor.  You recognize the yellow jeweled eyes as topaz, and eagerly pluck them from their sockets.  You put them in your backpack, wondering whether or not a trap still awaits you in the room.<br/><br/><em>You gain two Topaz gems.  Your choices are to get down on all fours and crawl out of the room holding the skull, or to replace the skull on the plinth before leaving the room.</em>
