### 45

Inside the tent a group of senior officers are poring over their battle-maps and planning their troop dispositions for an assault across the causeway. Their leader has his back to you, but when he turns to see who has entered his tent, you recognize him at once: he is Adamas, Lord Constable of Garthen. ‘By the gods!’ he exclaims. ‘I thought the Danarg had claimed you, Lone Wolf. How good it is to see you alive.’

He dismisses his captains and bids you tell all that has happened since last you met. ‘So you wish to break into Torgar,’ he says, thoughtfully. ‘How strange it is that our goals should be so similar. Come, follow me, perhaps cooperation will hasten our success.’

Turn to 127.
