	With a rousing cheer, the second wave of enemy 
Š	raiders follow their leader and leap 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 swiftly if you 
Š	are to avert a disaster.
	
	Steeling yourself for what must be done, you shoulder 
Š	your bow and unsheathe a weapon. Then you leap from 
Š	the rigging as the enemy leader passes below the 
Š	mainmast. You hit the armoured warrior feet first and 
Š	slam him to the deck, but he quickly recovers from 
Š	your surprise attack and, in the ensuing struggle, he 
Š	manages to kick the weapon from your hand. 
	
	"Leave him to me!" he screams, warning off his  	
	henchmen who are poised to rush forward and cut you 
Š	down. Slowly he unsheathes his scimitar and, with a 
Š	sneer fixed to his cruel lips, he raises the blade in 
Š	readiness to strike a mighty blow to your head.
