The billowing smoke threatens to suffocate you before you have a chance to break free. Frantically you pull at the ropes until they give; then you stagger out of the smoke, coughing and retching violently: lose 2 ENDURANCE points.

No sooner have you recovered from the effects of the smoke than you are faced with another peril. An Indian clansman is running at you, holding a wide-bladed machete above his head. With a scream, he leaps forwards and takes a swipe at your neck.
