+ You turn and sprint back along the street, but you \r\8a have taken only a few paces when you hear a Vakeros \r
+ shout a single, thunderous word: \ 5é"Gloar!"\ 5é\r
+ \r
+ A concussive blast of air hits you in the middle of \r\8a your back and sends you tumbling forwards to crash \r\8a face first to the ground. You strike your head on the \r\8a cobblestones and badly bruise your shoulder as you \r\8a sommersault into the base of a street lantern-post: \r\8a lose 3 ENDURANCE points.\r
+\r
+ You have been struck by the effects of the Old \r\8a Kingdom spell - \ 5éPower Word\ 5é. Painfully you stagger to \r\8a your feet and see that the Vakeros have moved forward \r\8a to surround you. As they close in, you notice that \r\8a their spears are held out at arm's length as if they \r\8a are afraid to come too close. Their officer, a young \r\8a lieutenant, steps a pace nearer and you see that he \r\8a is sweating profusely. It is a warm night but this is \r\8a not the reason he is perspiring: he is terrified. \r\8a Then he recognises the style of your tunic, and when \r\8a he looks carefully at your face you see the whipcord \r\8a tension in his body begin to ease a little.\r

+ "You're a Kai ?"\r
+\r
+ "Yes," you reply, "I'm a journeyman bound for \r\8a Elzian."\r
+\r
+ The Vakeros signals to his men and expertly they \r\8a couch their spears and form up into a column in \r\8a readiness to march.\r
+\r
+ "Well, master Kai," says the lieutenant, "You\r
+ had better come with us."\r
