You run through the arch and straight into a black-robed palace guard. You bruise your ribs and the impact throws you off balance, but you manage to grab the wall to stop yourself from falling over. The guard lies sprawled upon the floor, but with incredible swiftness he draws a shining steel axe and lashes out at your legs.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you have the Kai Discipline of Hunting, add 2 to the number you have picked.
