	When consciousness returns and you prise open your 
Š	eyes, to your dismay you discover that you are lying 
Š	upon the straw-covered floor of a prison cell. Prince 
Š	Karvas is lying unconscious at your feet. Carefully 
Š	you raise his head and, by the use of your innate Kai 
Š	healing skills, you are able to coax him back to full 
Š	consciousness.

	Through the bars of a high cell window you can see 
Š	that night has fallen. The noise of raucous 
Š	celebration is being carried on the evening breeze, 
Š	and it is a sound that strikes a chill into your 
Š	heart, for it tells you that your mission has failed. 
Š	Sadanzo has been crowned King of Siyen, and in every 
Š	tavern throughout this capital his robber knights are 
Š	celebrating their leader's rise to power.

	The iron door clangs as its bolt is pulled. It creaks 
Š	open and a grim-faced gaoler throws your weapons and 
Š	equipment into the cell. "You're free to go," he 
Š	growls, "not that you're likely to be free for long 
	now that Sadanzo rules the roost." The gaoler turns 
Š	you and Karvas out onto the street, and as you walk 
Š	dejectedly away from the jail, you witness a band of 
Š	Sadanzo's robber knights looting houses and shops. 
Š	They pillage the homes and livelehoods of the 
Š	innocent in defiance of the city guard who are now 
Š	powerless to stop them.

	The sight makes Prince Karvas's blood boil and he 
Š	resolves to do something about it. "Come, Grand 
Š	Master," he says, excitedly, "we may still have one 
Š	chance left to triumph over Sadanzo. We must seek out 
Š	Phedros - the Marshal of the Realm."
