You reach inside your tunic for your Pass, but the gate guard misinterprets your action. Thinking you are reaching for a hand weapon he becomes alarmed. ‘Accomplices!’ he shouts. ‘Stop them!’

The crowd of soldiers turn about and come running towards you, leaving their prisoner unguarded. (He immediately seizes the opportunity to make his escape.) ‘Lone Wolf, look out!’ shouts Paido, as the gate guard lunges at you with his spear. You dodge aside, but the tip gashes your hip (lose 2 ENDURANCE points).

The soldiers are unlikely to listen to reason. Your only hope is to evade them before you are both surrounded and speared to death.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Animal Control or Huntmastery, add 3 to the number you have picked. If you have reached the rank of Primate, add 2.

If your total is 0–3, turn to 57.

If it is 4 or more, turn to 234.
