### 227

They have covered only a few hundred yards when the last rider turns to check on Cyrilus who is beginning to slip from his saddle. You pull off the highway to try to hide, but you are seen entering the trees and a shout rings out: ‘He’s there!’ The rumble of hooves warns you that the riders are returning.

If you have a Bow and wish to open fire as they rush past, turn to 20.

If you would rather prepare to fight by other means, turn to 203.
