As the craft emerges into the sunlight, a terrible noise fills the air--the screeching cacophony of Kraan-riders, sweeping down from the table of rock. They have been waiting patiently for the Skyrider to appear before launching their ambush, for they have been certain of your hiding place since before the dawn. The Black Crystal Cube enabled them to track your escape route through the Dahir mountains, its signal to them as clear as a burning beacon in the night.

You sense it is the Cube which has betrayed your escape and snatch it from your pocket, but before you can hurl the accursed object away, it explodes in your hand.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you have the Kai Discipline of Sixth Sense, add 3 to the number you have picked.

If your total is now 0-6, turn to 385.

If your total is now 7-12, turn to 251.
