You decide to wait until nightfall before making your attempt to cross the River Heng. During the day you scout the river bank and you determine that there are only two ways to cross. Both are hazardous.

You can swim across the river, but the current is fast and treacherous. Or you can attempt to cross at the bridge. The road is blocked by soldiers, making a crossing by that way impossible. But you can attempt a crossing below the bridge. Its supporting stone pillars are closely spaced and they slow the river’s flow. However, the enemy guarding this bridge is especially vigilant. They are expecting and watching for your approach.

If you wish to attempt to swim across the river, turn to 100.

If you choose to attempt a crossing beneath the bridge, turn to 261.
