### 338

Using your skill for unarmed combat taught to you by your Kai masters, you grab the startled guard by the throat and pitch him over the low wall at the edge of the landing. His cry of terror fills the air until he crashes into the flagstones below.

If you wish to continue climbing the stairs towards the door of the walkway, turn to 372.

If you wish to enter the door through which the guard came, turn to 279.
