### 163

You turn and run from the Vassagonian but trip over a broken wagon wheel and tumble to the ground. You hear the warrior's malicious laugh as he draws back his sword to strike, but the laugh suddenly changes to a ghastly howl.

You watch him slump to the ground, a Sommlending arrow deep in the nape of his neck.

Turn to 249.
