131

You draw an Arrow and take aim at an archer just as he raises his bow to fire at you. Your shaft beats his: it buries itself in his chest and sends him spinning to the ground. Quickly you note that of the five men advancing towards you two are armed with bows.

If you have at least two Arrows in your Quiver and wish to fire at these men, turn to 344.

If you wish to try to escape by crossing the ford, turn to 166.

If you decide to shoulder your Bow and draw a hand weapon, turn to 251.
