You grit your teeth and struggle to hang on. Then a ricochet screams from the brickwork and cuts across the back of your left hand: lose 2 ENDURANCE points.
The pain in your hand is excruciating, but it soon subsides to be replaced by a tingling sensation that cramps the muscles in your forearm. Your fingers weaken and, with a terrifying jolt, you find yourself swinging in the void, supported only by the fingers of your right hand.
After what seems like an eternity, your companions put paid to the clansmen and come to your rescue. Strong hands grip your aching arm and haul you to safety, but before you can thank them, they turn and follow the captain towards a fire escape on the far side of the building. You pause just long enough to catch your breath and retrieve your Backpack and belt, and then you hurry after them.
