	You cross the narrow village street and approach the 
Š	two Cavalian lordlings as they stroll leisurely 
Š	towards the jetty. "Good evening, my lords. We meet 
Š	again," says Karvas, in a deep and menacing tone. 
	"My friend and I still wish to acquire your tickets. 
Š	Kindly hand them over." The prince pulls his sword a 
Š	few inches from its scabbard to reinforce his demand.

	Normally these two fops would blanch and faint in the 
Š	face of such a threat, but a night spent drinking at 
Š	the tavern has filled them with liquid courage. The 
Š	taller man stares Karvas defiantly in the eye and 
Š	then he begins to shout at the top of his voice: 
Š	"Robbers! Footpads! Cut-throats!"

	Karvas reacts instinctively. He punches the dandy 
Š	squarely on the jaw and leaves him sprawled 
Š	unconscious on the ground. His stout companion 
Š	freezes and his mouth opens wide with shock. Before 
Š	he, too, can scream out in alarm, you knock him out 
Š	with a sharp blow to the nape of his neck.
	
	Quickly you drag their bodies into the alleyway and 
Š	rifle their pockets in a search for their tickets. 
Š	Karvas finds both of them in the jacket pocket of the 
Š	stout lordling, and he hands one to you. (Record the 
Š	Riverboat Ticket on your ιAction Chartι as a Special 
Š	Item which you keep in the pocket of your breeches. 
Š	You need not discard another item in its favour if 
Š	you already possess the maximum number of Special 
Š	Items permissible)

	Having now obtained what you need, you leave the 
Š	alleyway and hurry back to the jetty.
