As the warrior falls dead at your feet, you turn to rally your men. To your horror, you see three of them lying spread-eagled on the stairs, killed by crossbow bolts. The other man is wounded and surrounded by the enemy. As more guards flood into the chamber, he shouts in desperation, Flee, my Lord. Escape while you still can.

I was hoping the King would send a large search party,
says Captain DI was beginning to tire of this town.
You rise from your straw bed and offer your thanks to the captain. His brave and timely action saved you from certain death.
You rise from your straw bed and offer your thanks to the captain. His brave and timely action saved you from certain death.
He asks you about your mission, and you recount the events that have led you to this meeting; the ride south, the loss of your company, your passage through the Maaken Mines and the bandits.
Yes, the bandits
retorts DIt seems we have both suffered at his hand. A month ago, he and his Vassagonian renegades ambushed my troop on the Ruanon Pike. We were sorely outnumbered and the fight was indeed bitter. But we broke free from them and escaped here to Ruanon. We have been beleaguered ever since and praying for help to arrive. We have enough weapons to resist them, but we have barely enough food and water to survive.
You ask what has become of the people of Ruanon. Most are now slaves. Barraka has taken the mines and he uses the Ruanese as forced labour. Other than yourself, only one man has escaped from the mines and survived the Warhounds and the bandit snipers. That man is Baron Oren Vanalund. Come, I shall take you to him.
Remember that you may not use another Torch unless you have a Tinderbox as well. Also, you may use a Kalte Firesphere in place of a Torch and Tinderbox if you have one.
-You soon reach a section of tunnel that is under repair. Part of the floor has subsided, and a gaping hole is spanned by a rickety wooden bridge. You are tired and fail to notice that your torch has almost burnt out. You are at the centre of the bridge when the torch flickers and dies; you are plunged into darkness.
-If you have no other Torch, you must try to inch your way across the bridge in total darkness. Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you have the Kai Discipline of Sixth Sense or Tracking, add 3 to the number you have picked.

In the plush candlelit interior of the caravan you find the actor, cowering beneath a blanket in the far corner. You flick the blanket aside and ask the petrified man to explain how he came to possess such a fine sword.

The ceiling of the cavern is so low that you are forced to all press yourselves against the bottom of the boat to avoid head injuries. For nearly an hour the boat is swept through a maze of underground waterways before coming to a sudden halt; you are grounded upon a bank of shingle. You are in a section of the tunnel that is much higher than any you have previously travelled. To the south the river continues into the rock-face, but to the west you notice another shingle bank and a land tunnel beyond.
-You may choose which Weapon to discard if you have two.
-You smash feet-first into a large river boulder. Recoiling from the impact, you cough uncontrollably in your desperate fight for air as the water fills your ears and nose. Down and down, around and around you go, your eyes stinging and the pain in your legs grinding agonizingly upwards through your body. A glancing blow to your shoulder rips the sleeve from your jacket and numbs your arm; your weapon falls from your hand. You are somersaulted into a steep V-shaped channel and buffeted on all sides as you tumble towards a pool far below. You feel the sheer weight and volume of water behind you will plunge you to your doom, and as you plummet into the swirling dark water, all consciousness rapidly gives way to a blind and silent numbness.
-When you open your eyes it is dusk. You have been washed up on the river bank near to a twisting forest track. The silhouette of the Maaken Range rises steeply to the east, and you realize that you must have drifted many miles downstream. You have survived a terrible ordeal; one that would have killed any lesser mortal. You have lost 5

Your men push open the door with their swords and quickly enter. You hear a muffled voice, and a ranger soon reappears at the door. It is safe, my Lord,
he says, and stands aside to allow you to enter.

The two guards are completely unprepared for your attack. They have only just drawn their swords when your men reach them and knock them both to the ground.
-Shall we dispatch them immediately, my Lord?
asks a ranger, his sword tip at the throat of a nervous guard.
