It is a two-storey dwelling, modest Š in comparison to others nearby yet richly appointed, Š with servants, a stable, and a fragrant orchard of Š Guyan trees. You are ushered upstairs to where a Š young girl lies in a darkened room. She has a fever Š and a sickly grey palour that makes her look more Š than twice her age. You recognise at once that she is Š suffering from Mysua. It is a disease that is spread Š by swamp flies and is not uncommon among the jungle- Š dwellers of Shadaki. + + Using your Magnakai curing skills, and aided by the Š presence of the Moonstone, you are able to neutralise Š the infection that has ravaged this young girl's Š body. Within a few hours her fever has disappeared Š and a heathy colour returns to her face. She shows Š every sign they she will make a complete recovery. Š Her mother is overjoyed and she thanks you Š repeatedly. She insists that you stay here as her Š guest and she provides you with your own room Š overlooking the river. + + Over a delicious evening meal prepared by her Š servants, you learn that her name is Tiosanna. She is Š the widow of a wealthy trader who was killed at sea Š when his ship was attacked and plundered by Š buccaneers. When her only daughter recently fell ill Š with fever, she feared she was going to lose her as Š well. She rarely goes to the market, yet a strange Š compulsion made her go today. She cannot explain, but Š the moment she saw you she knew that it was within Š your power to save her daughter's life. + + You retire early to bed and sleep soundly (you may Š restore 6 ENDURANCE points). When you rise at dawn, Š you are feeling fresh and eager to continue your Š journey to the Isle of Lorn. In appreciation for Š saving her daughter's life, Tiosanna gives you a Š horse. Gladly you accept her generous gift and you Š bid them both a fond farewell before you set off Š along 'The Dragon's Tail' - the name given by the Š natives of this region to the overland route from Š Masama to the city of Kitaezi. + + After consulting your map you estimate that it should Š take you no more than two days to reach Kitaezi. The Š weather has settled and the overland trail proves far Š smoother than its given name implies. By mid- Š afternoon you have covered more than fifty miles and Š you are pleased with your progress. + + You are passing through a range of forested hills and Š gulleys when you come to an unexpected fork in the Š trail. A signpost says that both branches of this Š fork lead to Kitaezi, yet it does not give any Š indication which is the shorter or the safer route to Š take. + + + If you wish to take the left fork in the road, turn Š to â196â + + If you decide to take the right fork, turn to â289â
