Your slain steed crashes to the ground and you are catapulted head over heels through the air. You land heavily among boulders and bracken which border the hill road, hitting your forehead with a sickening crack: lose 4 ENDURANCE points.

Nauseous and dizzy from the impact, you struggle to stand up. You are barely back on your feet when suddenly a yelling horde of leather-clad men, each brandishing a sword or a spear, emerges from hiding places among the trees and come rushing at you from all sides. You must fight them.
