	You give voice to your battle-cry: "For Sommerlund 
Š	and the Kai!" as fearlessly you leap from the rear 
Š	deck into the midst of the enemy horde. You slay 
Š	three of the armoured warriors with the first sweep 
Š	of your weapon, and cleave the sword arm from the 
Š	body of another with your backstroke. Noise, death, 
Š	and confusion press in on all sides, yet you remain 
Š	ice-cool in the heat of this fierce deck battle. A 
Š	turbanned warrior with mad, glinting eyes hurls 
Š	himself at you. He whirls his axe above his head to 
Š	split your skull, but before he can land his blow, 
Š	you leap into the air and send him cartwheeling 
Š	backwards with a mighty kick to his chest. The moment 
Š	your feet return to the blood-slick deck, you
	spring forward once more like a charging lion and 
Š	whirl your weapon like a scythe before you. Its blade 
Š	becomes a deadly blur as you cut a devastating path 
Š	through the raiders' serried ranks. You have fought 
Š	your way to within a dozen paces of Sergeant Dryan 
Š	when suddenly the enemy launch a desperate counter-
Š	attack in an effort to halt your inexorable advance.
