+ Once outside the main doors, you hurry across a wide \r\8a stone bridge that spans the dry moat encircling \r\8a Sesketera's citadel. Ahead you can see a cobblestoned \r\8a plaza which is flanked on three sides by municipal \r\8a buildings and shops, and on its fourth side by \r\8a barracks and stables. The sound of the alarm bell is \r\8a beginning to awaken interest in the plaza. Faces peer \r\8a from windows and you see men running to and fro \r\8a inside the barracks compound. Then the gate to the \r\8a stables swings open and suddenly there appears a man \r\8a on horseback. He is one of Sesketera's guards and he \r\8a comes galloping towards you with a lance levelled at \r\8a your chest.\r
+\r
+ You skid to a halt and quickly focus on the rider's \r\8a horse. Using your Magnakai discipline of Animal \r\8a Control, you command the horse to jump in the air. \r\8a This has the effect of startling the horse and, in \r\8a its confusion, it begins to buck and twist. The rider \r\8a is thrown from his saddle and left sprawled \r\8a unconscious on the ground. Now you use your Kai \r\8a skills to calm the startled horse. As he settles \r\8a down, you leap into his saddle and escape from the \r\8a plaza at a gallop. \r

+ The incessant sound of the alarm bell follows you \r\8a through the early-morning streets of Ghol-Tabras. \r\8a Even as you reach the entrance to the harbour, more \r\8a than a mile from the citadel, you can still hear it \r\8a echoing over the rooftops. You look back over your \r\8a shoulder and see that you are being followed by a \r\8a dozen riders. They are citadel guards and they have \r\8a been ordered to stop you at all costs. As you gallop \r\8a along the harbour wall, your heart sinks when you see \r\8a that \ 5éThe Azan\ 5é is surrounded by soldiers. You race \r\8a past them before they have a chance to load and fire \r\8a their bows, but you soon come to the end of the \r\8a harbour wall where you are forced to a halt. The \r\8a bridge which spans the harbour entrance is too narrow \r\8a to cross on horseback and so you abandon your mount \r\8a and hurry across it on foot. You are nearing its \r\8a centre when you see a trading ship passing directly \r\8a below. It is leaving the harbour. Suddenly an arrow \r\8a pierces your cloak and makes you freeze in your \r\8a tracks. The soldiers are firing at you and, to your \r\8a dismay, you see that they have sealed off both exits \r\8a from the bridge. As they begin to move towards you \r\8a from each side, firing as they advance, you climb \r\8a onto the parapet of the bridge and attempt to leap \r\8a onto the deck of the passing trader.\r
