Your betting has attracted some unwanted attention. Two shifty-eyed mercenaries have been watching you with more than casual interest since your arrival at the Inn of the Crossed Swords, and as the event ends and the crowds disperse, you suddenly feel the sharp point of a dagger piercing the back of your tunic.

‘Your purse or your life,’ whispers one of the men, his foul breath filling your nostrils. ‘Make your choice.’

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery, turn to 114.

If you wish to hand over all your Gold Crowns without offering any resistance, turn to 161.

If you decide to refuse the men their demand and wish to fight to keep your gold, turn to 282.
