	You watch with fearful anticipation as the second 
Š	wave of enemy raiders come leaping aboard the ιPride 
Š	of Sommerlundι. The ship's crew and the marines have 
Š	suffered many casualties and they are now too weak 
Š	and exhausted to be able to repel this renewed 
Š	assault. You know that you must act quickly if you 
Š	are to avert a disaster.
	
	Steeling yourself, you tighten your grip on your 
Š	weapon and leap from the rigging as the enemy leader 
Š	passes below the mainmast. You hit the armoured 
Š	warrior feet first and slam him to the deck, but he 
Š	quickly recovers from this surprise attack and, in 
Š	the ensuing struggle, he manages to kick the weapon 
Š	from your hand. 
	
	"Leave this one to me!" he screams, warning off his  	
	henchmen who are poised to rush forward and cut you 
Š	down. He unsheathes his scimitar and, with a sneer 
Š	fixed to his cruel lips, he raises the blade in 
Š	readiness to strike at your head.
