Only two of the arrows strike the boat. One rips through your canvas cover and thuds into the gunwale within a hand’s breadth of your head, and the other, a fire arrow, buries itself in the planking near the prow. Fortunately, using your Magnakai Discipline of Nexus, you are able to quickly extinguish the flames without betraying your hiding place. The boat glides nearer to the bridge and you can hear the Eldenorans laughing and cursing. Through the torn canvas you look up to see a ruddy-faced soldier leaning over the parapet. He is holding a large chunk of rock which he is preparing to drop into your boat as it passes below.

If you possess Kai-alchemy, turn to 336.

If you do not possess this Discipline, turn to 281.
