Suddenly, a wild, dirt-encrusted man, clothed in tatters of dusty rags, jumps on you from the roof of a small building to your left, sending you sprawling to the floor in a cloud of black dust. With an animal howl, he attempts to tear out your throat with his bare teeth.

Owing to the surprise of the wretch's attack, subtract 2 from your COMBAT SKILL for the duration of the fight.
