	You throw yourself to the deck and take cover behind 
Š	the wooden parapet of the prow as the enemy's shot 
Š	rips into the sails and rigging. Shredded canvas and 
Š	splintered timbers fall about your ears, yet you 
Š	survive this ferocious bombardment without sustaining 
Š	the slightest injury. Bravely Captain Jenkshi takes 
Š	over the helm and steers his battered ship 
Š	relentlessly towards the channel. You see him cursing 
Š	the enemy captain and shaking his fist defiantly at 
Š	the villainous Shadakine gunners as their cannonballs 
Š	whistle across the decks of ιThe Azanι. Then a gust of 
Š	wind fills the torn mainsail and the ship begins to 
Š	pull away from the lumbering man o'war. A second 
Š	broadside falls wide of its mark, and Jenkshi's bold 
Š	plan finally pays off when the enemy ship is forced 
Š	to veer away for fear beaching her hull in the 
Š	shallows. The crew cheer loudly when they see her red 
Š	sails falling away to the stern, and ιThe Azanι is left 
Š	alone to make a swift passage through the islet 
Š	channel. You pull yourself unsteadily to your feet 
Š	and make your way along the debris-strewn deck to 
Š	congratulate Jenkshi for his masterful display of 
Š	seamanship. He accepts your praise and the cheers of 
Š	his crew with a rueful smile, even though his skill 
Š	and his coolness under enemy fire have undoubtedly 
Š	saved the ship and the lives of all aboard. However, 
Š	as the ship emerges on the far side of the islets, 
Š	you soon discover that more than just Jenkshi's 
Š	bravery will be needed if everyone aboard ιThe Azanι is 
Š	to live to tell the tale of their deadly encounter 
Š	with the buccaneers of Shadaki.
