The stable is full of fine horses, all of them as sound and sturdy as the mounts given to you by Lord Adamas. Paido acts as lookout while you saddle up two black stallions. You are making the final adjustments to their bridles when Paido hisses a warning. ‘Four monks coming this way!’

You mount your fresh steeds and gallop out of the stables, scattering the startled monks, who had just reached the door. In an act of desperation, one of the monks unsheathes his sword and hurls it at your back. The deadly blade spins through the air with alarming accuracy.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you have the Magnakai Disciplines of Huntmastery and Divination, add 3 to the number you have picked.

If your total is now 0–2, turn to 134.

If it is 3 or more, turn to 219.
