Sesketera succeeds in fending off your Arrow and, with breathtaking speed, he lunges forwards and cleaves your Bow in two with the blade of his spear (delete this weapon from your Action Chart).

You drop the sundered halves of your shattered Bow and leap back to avoid a sudden whirlwind flurry of thrusts and sweeps that threaten to decapitate you. Hurriedly you unsheathe your Kai Weapon and the clang of striking metal echoes throughout the hall as you parry Sesketera’s relentless rain of blows. Then the sharp report of your colliding weapons is answered by the dull ringing of a bell in a distant part of the citadel. It is an alarm bell, and it is announcing your escape from the dungeons of the gaol.
