### 22

You are pulling yourself over the parapet when the silence is shattered by the piercing clang of a bell.

‘Ok zee orgadak iak zordak tozaz!’ screams a Giak sentry, leaning out of the watchtower window. With one hand he is pointing at you with a sword and with the other he is tugging frantically at the cord of an alarm bell. You curse your luck as you turn to face the two sentries who are now rushing along the battlements their spears held ready to stab you to death.
