	"There's no such place!" says the rogue, and his eyes 
Š	widen with fear. "By the gods! He does not know the 
Š	name of his own capital!" gasps one of his 
Š	companions. His mouth drops open and he fumbles to 
Š	unsheathe his sword. Suddenly it seems that everyone 
Š	in the tavern is gripped by an inexplicable madness. 
Š	The rogue pulls a dagger from his belt and attempts 
Š	to stab you, but you turn his clumsy thrust aside 
Š	with your forearm and knock him to the floor as you 
Š	leap out of your seat. Two of the others try to 
Š	strike you simultaneously with their swords and you 
Š	duck below their blades. They strike each other and 
Š	fall back, screaming and clutching at their wounds. A 
Š	thrown bottle catches you a glancing blow to the head 
Š	as you run for the door (lose 2 ENDURANCE points), 
Š	but you manage to pull it open and escape into the 
Š	darkening street without further injury. However, to 
Š	your dismay you discover that your horse Jhani has 
Š	disappeared. Two men brandishing swords appear in the 
Š	doorway behind you and swiftly you sprint along the 
Š	street. You use your Kai camouflage skills to evade 
Š	them and they quickly give up the chase.
