### 336

You hear the musket’s loud report, and then a blinding white light obliterates your vision. A terrifying numbness spreads rapidly from your neck to the soles of your feet, and you feel yourself tumbling forwards into a fathomless abyss.

The lead ball from the guard’s musket has pierced the back of your skull and penetrated your brain. Mercifully, your death is swift and painless.

Sadly, your life and your mission end here in the barracks of Yua Tzhan.
