- <p>You draw an arrow to your bow and send it speeding towards the creature<ch.apos/>s torso. The shaft buries itself in its rib cage and the beast shrieks with pain, yet it does not deter it from continuing its hungry advance towards your horses. As it stalks closer, you see that it is drawing in great gulps of air to inflate its chest. Its rib cage expands and suddenly there is a sharp, popping sound. You gasp with fear as dozens of horned spikes shoot out of its skin and come hurtling towards you like a volley of deadly darts.</p>

<p>You urge your horse towards the wooded hillock and enter the trees with just seconds to spare before the leading fanji come flashing past. You look about you but Karvas is nowhere to be seen. You fear he has been trampled by the stampede, but then he suddenly appears from out of the thundering wall of beasts. He is bruised and battered but he is still astride his horse and in full control of him. He veers his frightened steed away from the herd and comes galloping up the slope of the hillock towards the sanctuary of the trees. He pulls to a halt by your side and strokes the neck of his whinnying horse to reassure and calm him.</p>
<p>As the herd rush past the hillock, you glimpse more than a dozen horsemen who are galloping close behind them. They are hunters and they are picking off the best fanji at close quarters with bows and spears. Two of these fur-clad plainsmen see you and Karvas recovering among the trees, and instantly they steer their horses away from the herd and urge them towards the hillock. You sense that they suspect you and the prince are after their quarry and, as they ride closer, they mouth curses and fire their bows at you.</p>
<p>Their steel-tipped shafts arc through the air and thud into the trees close by.</p>

- <p>In one fluid practiced movement, you draw an arrow to your bow and let it fly towards the onrushing lancer. The man<ch.apos/>s eyes widen with terror as he sees your deadly shaft hurtling towards him, and desperately he twists aside to avoid it. The arrow misses by a hair<ch.apos/>s breadth, yet the lancer does not survive your shot. He loses his balance and tumbles out of the saddle to crash down, head-first, upon the cobblestoned passageway.</p>

- <p>You draw an arrow to your bow and let it fly towards the nearest shrine-bearer. The shaft buries itself in his chest and the force of its impact knocks him to the ground. As he releases his grip of the platform, it tilts over and the tiger-head idol tumbles from its wooden base. It hits the ground with a mighty crash, breaks in two, and releases a whirling cone of red flame from its hollow core that engulfs the remaining bearers. In the blink of an eye the three men are transformed into smouldering heaps of ash.</p>
