A bronze beacon, the Anarian symbol of law and order, is fixed into a plinth of marble that stands beside the President’s chair. He moves his finger to a button on the arm of the chair and all eyes turn to stare at the beacon. There is a flash of ignition and a jet of red flame roars upwards towards the domed ceiling. ‘Seize him!’ shouts Senator Chil. ‘Seize Lone Wolf!’

The President has voted against you, and now the Senate guards are closing in on all sides to arrest you. In a single bound, you leave your seat and sprint along the gallery towards an empty staircase. To your right a guard is rushing to intercept your escape. He is unarmed but he has a net with which he hopes to ensnare you. He casts it as you are about to descend the stairs.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery, add 1 to the number you have picked. If you have completed the Lore-circle of Fire, add 2.

If your total is now 3 or less, turn to 182.

If it is 4 or more, turn to 236.
