	Your action to avoid being struck by the arrow is 
	a success. The slaver and his archer cannot believe 
Š	what they have seen and for a few vital seconds they 
Š	stand frozen in stunned disbelief. You seize this 
Š	advantage and rush towards the platform with the hope 
Š	of catching them before they regain their senses, yet 
Š	as you make your leap you see the archer drop his bow 
Š	and reach to his sword. His blade clears its scabbard 
Š	barely a second before you make your attack, yet he 
Š	is able to turn aside your first blow. The skill with 
Š	which he handles his blade leaves you in no doubt 
Š	that you are facing an expert swordsman. Frightened 
Š	slaves throw themselves off the platform as you and 
Š	Svolta begin a desperate fight to the death.
