### 39

You unsheathe a hand weapon (neither a Bow, nor your Kai Weapon)4 and begin chipping away at the mortar into which the bars of the cell window are embedded. It is a slow and laborious task but you persevere and, within the hour, you manage to dislodge three of the iron bars. This creates a gap large enough through which you can escape from the cell, but it also weakens your hand weapon to such a degree that it can no longer be used for combat (you must now erase this Weapon from your Weapons List).

To continue, turn to 27.

#### Footnotes

[4] You may not be carrying a normal hand weapon. It is left up to the reader’s discretion as to how to resolve this potential inconsistency.
