‘Impostor!’ he cries, and draws his weapon. Before you can react to his attack, his sword has grazed your arm and you lose 2 ENDURANCE points. He runs at you and knocks you backwards through the open doorway. In a tangle of limbs and curses, you both fall headlong down the watchtower stairs. You stagger to your feet, but the knight is already up and searching for his broadsword.

If you wish to fight him, turn to 162.

If you would rather abandon your horse and run for the safety of the trees, turn to 244.
