### 208

As you emerge from the forest you see a detachment of five Shadakine warriors, carrying crossbows, marching along the road towards you. You are now trapped between them and the battle on the bridge.

If you wish to attack the crossbowmen at long range with your Wizard's Staff, turn to 81.

If you would prefer to charge the crossbowmen, using the element of surprise to full advantage, turn to 99.
