### 101

Quickly you unshoulder your Bow and snatch an Arrow from your Quiver. Bracing yourself against the ship’s rail, you draw back your bowstring and scan the decks of the attacking ship for a suitable target. Two immediately loom into view. The first is the ghastly maw of the giant spider; the second is the head of a warrior who is standing inside the forecastle. From the way he is shouting at those around him, you suspect that he must be the commander of the enemy vessel.

If you choose to fire your Arrow at the spider-creature, turn to 322.

If you choose to fire at the warrior’s head, turn to 170.
