### 174

The knight steps towards you and says, 'I've yet to meet a peasant who could afford to buy his own horse. You are not a peasant, but I'd wager you to be a thief.'

With a flick of his broadsword, he unhorses you and heavily you fall to the ground. Instinctively, you draw your weapon in self-defence as the knight attacks you.

Turn to 162.
