‘Follow me!’ shouts Prarg, and before you can stop him he is on his feet and sprinting away. Hurriedly you follow him, with the lookouts shouting wildly in your wake.

‘Halt!’ they scream. ‘Halt or we shoot!’

There is the sound of bow-fire, and then two arrows hit the rocks and shatter close by your feet. You invoke your Magnakai skill of Invisibility to keep you safe, but your Discipline does not extend to Captain Prarg who is less than an arm’s length ahead of you.

Then your senses tingle anew, drawing your eyes towards a ridge less than thirty yards from the beach. Standing there, clutching loaded crossbows, are two more Lencian lookouts.

‘Beware!’ you cry to Prarg, but already the Lencians are preparing to fire at your fleeing forms.
