### 305

You wait until a gap appears and then you rush forward and dash between the trundling supply wagons. But in your haste you catch your toe upon a raised paving stone and you are brought stumbling to your knees. The driver of an onrushing wagon makes no attempt to avoid you. Only the swiftness of your reactions save you from being run down and crushed to death. However, as you dive out of the path of the wagon, your legs are grazed by its front wheel: lose 2 ENDURANCE points.

The driver curses and threatens to report you to the reeves. Rather than run the risk of being arrested, you stagger to your feet and melt away as quickly as you are able into the crowded street beyond.

Turn to 276.
