Your shot misses the clansman, but its proximity makes him recoil and crash backwards down the embankment. (Remember to deduct the relevant number of rounds from your Ammo Pouch.) Unfortunately, his fall diverts your attention from his partner, who has successfully climbed the bank and is now rushing your position with a knife in his hand. As you turn to face him, he leaps upon you and wrestles your gun from your grasp.
