You fire your shotgun and see the clansman thrown backwards by the force of the lead shot at such short range. (Remember to deduct a round of 12-gauge ammunition from your Ammo Pouch.) No sooner has his body crashed lifelessly to the ground than one of his comrades leaps over him and jumps straight at you with his hands outstretched. Before you can pump another round into the breech and fire again, he grapples the shotgun from your hands, and then lunges forwards to fasten his steely fingers around your throat.
