The Jakan is a longbow used by the coastal fishermen of Vassagonia. It is ideally suited to the hunting of barbidahn and squid that live in the shallows and reefs of Barrakeesh, but it is a very poor target bow. In addition to this handicap, the particular bow that you have chosen has a hairline fracture running along its entire length and could well break at any moment.

When you enter the tournament, you must reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 2 points. Also, if at any time you should pick a 0 from the Random Number Table when using the bow, the Jakan will break and become unusable. Make a note of this number in the margin of your Action Chart for future reference.

To begin the tournament, turn to 340.
