### 301

Quickly you unsheathe your Kai Weapon and hurl it at the sniper. It spins through the air and thuds into his chest, sending him tumbling backwards from his perch to land heavily upon the exposed roots of the tree. You hurry to his body and retrieve your Weapon. To your disappointment, however, you discover that his blowpipe and horn are now useless, both of them having been smashed by his fall.

Quickly you hide his body in the undergrowth and then you move deeper into the jungle, guided and drawn by the strange incessant noise.

Turn to 51.
