	"That's wrong, that's wrong!" shouts the rogue, his 
Š	eyes widening with fear. 
	
	"He does not know the name of his own capital!" gasps  
Š	one of his companions, and his mouth drops open as he 
Š	fumbles to unsheathe his sword. Suddenly it seems 
Š	that everyone in the tavern is gripped by an 
Š	inexplicable madness. The rogue pulls a dagger from 
Š	his belt and attempts to stab you, but you turn his 
Š	clumsy thrust aside with your forearm and knock him 
Š	to the floor as you leap out of your seat. Two of the 
Š	others try to strike you simultaneously with their 
Š	swords and you duck below their blades. They strike 
Š	each other and fall back, screaming and clutching at 
Š	their wounds. A thrown bottle catches you a glancing 
Š	blow to the head as you run for the door (lose 2 
Š	ENDURANCE points), but you manage to pull it open and 
Š	escape into the darkening street without further 
Š	injury. However, to your dismay you discover that 
Š	your horse Jhani has disappeared. Two men brandishing 
Š	swords appear in the doorway behind you and swiftly 
Š	you sprint along the street. You use your Kai 
Š	camouflage skills to evade them and they quickly give 
Š	up the chase.
