You draw your weapon and attack the ice. Time is fast running out for your trapped companion; you have but a few seconds in which to reach him or he will surely drown.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table.

If the weapon you are using is a Special Item, add 2 to the number you have picked. If it is a Mace, a Warhammer, an Axe, or a Broadsword, add 1. If it is a Dagger, a Quarterstaff, or a Short Sword, deduct 1. The weapon bonuses are cumulative (e.g. the Dagger of Vashna, which is a Dagger and a Special Item, will confer a bonus of +1: 2 − 1).

If your total score is now 4 or less, turn to 139.

If it is 5 or more, turn to 3.
