### 86

As you leap on to an overturned wagon, you catch sight of two soldiers smothering Captain D'Val with their jackets. You pray he will survive the flames and that you have acted in time to rally his scattered force. The enemy has reached the ruined perimeter of Ruanon and are now creeping forward under cover of the broken cottage walls. You shout orders to D'Val's men to hurry back to the barricade, but the enemy are only a hundred yards from the wall; is it too late to repel the attack?

Turn to 186.
