### 263

You twist to one side to avoid it, but the disc bites deeply into your shoulder. You lose 4 ENDURANCE points. Clutching your wounded arm, you sprint along a narrow alleyway that leads to a mass of densely packed firs. As you reach the trees, you hear the shouts of bandits close behind.

If you wish to press on through the trees towards the south, turn to 123.

If you wish to change direction and head west, turn to 169.
