A search of the baskets crowding the little boat uncovers a beautifully hand-tooled leather case. You flick open the brass catch and discover that the case contains a Jakan—a hunting bow used by the coastal fishermen of Vassagonia. (You may record the Jakan Bow as a Weapon on your Action Chart. You must possess an Arrow in order to use this Weapon.) You are elated by your find but disappointed to discover that the case contains only one Arrow.

Across the harbour square, close to Maouk’s carriage, you notice a small, white-walled shop where a row of green glass flagons line a balcony on the first floor. You draw the bowstring to your lips and take careful aim; it is a difficult shot, and you have only one chance.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you possess the Kai Discipline of Weaponskill (any weapon), add 2 to the number you have picked.

If your total is now 4–11, turn to 28.
