	You dismount from your mule and hurry into the 
Š	village. The fiercest fire is raging through the roof 
Š	of the largest hut which dominates the centre of the 
Š	settlement, and it is here that you concentrate your 
Š	efforts. Using your Magnakai discipline of Nexus, you 
Š	are able to limit the spread of the flames and allow
	the villagers time to collect water with which they 
Š	put out the blaze. Your Kai skill protects you from 
Š	the scorching heat of the fire, but your backpack is 
Š	damaged and you lose two pieces of equipment. (Erase 
Š	any two backpack items from your ιAction Chartι)

	When all of the smaller fires in the surrounding huts 
Š	have also been extinguished, the elder of the village 
Š	thanks you for your timely help. He tells you that 
Š	the fire was started deliberately by a dragon that 
Š	dwells in the Hulhuk Mountains. 
	
	"It is the bane of our humble village," he says, 
Š	shaking his head sadly, "and we fear that it will 
Š	return this night to finish us." Seeing the Kai 
Š	weapon sheathed at your side, the elder looks at you 
Š	with renewed hope in his eyes. He begs you to stay 
Š	here tonight and help rid the village of its bane.
