	Mentally you recite the words of the Brotherhood Š	spell - éMind Charmé - and attempt to use its power to Š	command the Knight Bachelor to let you go on your Š	way. As the waves of your psychic energy reach his Š	mind, you are shocked to see that a green gemstone Š	ring on the index finger of his right hand is Š	beginning to radiate bright pulses of light. Your Š	sixth sense warns you that this ring has the power to Š	protect its wearer from the effects of charms and Š	illusions. It also alerts him to the fact that you Š	are attempting to use such magic on him.
	
	The Knight Bachelor looks at the pulsating ring and Š	then he glares at you. With a cry of rage he Š	unsheathes his sword and attempts to strike out for Š	your head, but you pull away and the point of the Š	blade flashes past to gash your shoulder: lose 2 Š	ENDURANCE points.
	
	"You sorcerous spy!" he exclaims. You glance at Š	Karvas and shout for him to follow your lead. The Š	Prince nods in acknowledgement and you dig your heels Š	into your horse's flank, causing him to rear up and Š	scrabble at the air with his forelegs. The Knight Š	Bachelor pulls back on his reins and turns his steed Š	aside to avoid being struck by the flailing hooves. Š	At this moment, you press yourself flat against your Š	horse's neck and urge him forwards. The knight's men Š	bring their mounts together to block your escape, but Š	your horse is quick to the gallop. He surges forwards Š	and forces himself between two troopers, barging them Š	from the saddle as he pushes through their stationary Š	ranks. As you break from the circle, you hear Karvas Š	cry out and the sound sends a shiver racing down your Š	spine. When you glance back you see that he has been Š	unsaddled and he is now lying on the ground, helpless Š	before the stamping steel-shod hooves of the Knight Š	Bachelor's warhorse.

	"Surrender yourself, you trickster!" commands the Š	arrogant Cavalian knight, "or your journeyman Š	companion dies!"

	Reluctantly you rein in your horse and raise your Š	hands. Better to surrender and live to fight another Š	day than permit Prince Karvas to be crushed beneath Š	the hooves of this arrogant knight's horse.
