A blow to the back of your legs sends you sprawling across the bodies of your two slain enemies: lose 2 ENDURANCE points. You drag yourself to your feet and, as you turn, you see the grinning face of the youth whom you encountered earlier, who tried in vain to lasso you. He reaches for his revolver, which is tucked into his belt, but before he can point and fire, you lash out with your foot and send it spinning from his hand. He screams in frustration; then he dives at you, closing his fingers around your throat.
