He Š brandishes his sword at you and threatens to cut off Š your ears. The marines laugh at his bravado; they are Š in no doubt who would end up the loser if he was Š foolish enough to pick a fight with you. Their Š disparaging laughter wounds his pride and you sense Š that he is about to fly into a blind rage. Using your Š psychic Kai powers, you cool his anger and persuade Š him to put away his sword. He does so, and politely Š now he asks that you pay a toll of 4 Gold Crowns to Š cross the bridge. With a nod of your head you Š indicate to your companions that this is a fair price Š and you each hand him 1 Gold Crown apiece (deduct Š this 1 Gold Crown from your ιAction Chartι; if you have Š no money you must erase one backpack item instead). The reduced toll charge does not include a night's Š lodging at the village inn and so you ride through Š the village and set up camp on a wooded slope a mile Š beyond. The night is bitterly cold and the close Š proximity of scavenging timber wolves frighten your Š horses and prevent you from getting much sleep (lose Š 3 ENDURANCE points). At first light you strike camp Š and continue your ride through the Koneshi Pass. Turn to β156β
