### 85

Less than twenty yards ahead the street bears sharply to the right. You slow your pace and get ready to make the turn, but you are brought skidding to a halt when you see that the street goes nowhere. It is a dead end. A solid wall of black marble, thirty feet high, blocks your escape from the pursuing Death Knights.

Reluctantly you turn to face your foes. Having reached the junction and seen that you are trapped, they have spread out and are now walking slowly towards you in a line abreast. Casually they unshoulder their crossbows and prepare them as they advance.

If you possess the Discipline of Assimilance and have reached the rank of Kai Grand Guardian, turn to 324.

If you possess the Discipline of Kai-alchemy and wish to use it, turn to 74.

If you have neither of these skills or do not wish to use them, turn to 153.
