	You press yourself flat against your horse's neck and 
Š	listen with dread as the archer's arrow buzzes 
Š	towards you like and angry hornet. Then you feel an 
Š	agonizing pain in your side as its razor-sharp tip 
Š	penetrates your rib cage: lose 5 ENDURANCE points. 

	A wave of nausea and dizziness washes over you, 
Š	making you relinquish your grip on the rope reins. You 
Š	fight against the mounting pain to stay conscious but 
Š	this is one battle you do not win. Darkness engulfs 
Š	your vision and, as you lose consciousness, you slip 
Š	and fall from your horse to crash upon the dusty 
Š	avenue. 	
	
	You regain consciousness almost immediately and 
Š	manage to drag yourself into a kneeling position. The 
Š	marines race past on their horses, but they have seen 
Š	you fall and they rein their steeds to a halt just as 
Š	quickly as they are able. Gritting your teeth against 
Š	the expected pain, you jerk the arrow from your side 
Š	and hurl it away. Your natural Kai curing skills help 
Š	to deaden the agony of your wound and slow the 
Š	bleeding, but they cannot prevent the archer who 
Š	fired the arrow from placing a second shaft to his 
Š	bow. Your sixth senses scream a warning and you look 
Š	up to see him standing less than twenty yards away. 
Š	Coolly he raises his bow and smiles as he gets ready 
Š	to finish you once and for all.
