Long winding climbs around precipitous Š cliffs are followed by steep descents into wooded Š ravines which test your nerve and your horsemanship Š to the full. Among the trunks of the blond Š Vassagonian mountain pines which border this route Š you glimpse the feral eyes of hungry timber wolves. Š Their howling disturbs the horses and you are forced Š to use your Kai skills throughout this difficult Š crossing to keep all four of the steeds calm and Š controllable. It is a little after mid-day when you hear the rumble Š of thunder echoing through the surrounding peaks. You Š suspect a storm must be approaching, yet the sky Š above is clear and your keen senses detect no winds Š nor any change in atmospheric pressures. Later, as Š the trail passes around a steep cliff-face, you see Š the cause of the rumbling: ahead the narrow trail is Š blocked by a landslide. The dust has settled and, Š when you magnify your vision, you think you can see a Š way to cross the mound of broken rocks. You tell the Š marines to wait for you while you go ahead to check Š if it is safe for you all to proceed. You are picking Š your way cautiously across the rockfall when suddenly Š a loud roar fills your ears and you look up to see a Š thousand tons of loose shale come tumbling down the Š mountainside. It is too narrow to turn your horse Š about and so you dig your heels into his flanks and Š urge him forwards. To your horror, he panics and rears up on his hind legs in an attempt to throw you Š off his back. Pick a number from the ιRandom Number Tableι.
