	You tell Karvas the bad news and quietly you both 
Š	slip away from the taproom by a rear door. Beyond 
Š	this door is a corridor which passes through the 
Š	tavern's kitchen and out into the courtyard. Once you 
Š	are outside, you hurry across to the stables to fetch 
Š	your horses. You are about to enter when suddenly you 
Š	notice the body of a young boy lying partially buried 
Š	beneath a heap of straw. By the colour and cut of his 
Š	clothing, you recognise the body to be that of the 
Š	stable boy who took charge of your horses when you 
Š	first arrived here. Swiftly you unsheathe your Kai 
Š	Weapon as you enter the stables. Your caution is 
Š	justified, for as soon as you pass through the stable 
Š	door, you are attacked by six Cavalian bandits who 
Š	are lying in wait for you and Karvas.
