### 306

'Hold tight, Lone Wolf,' shouts Banedon, as he regains control of the glowing crystal helm. You obey and grasp the parapet rail, bracing your feet against a deck cleat for safety, for you have guessed what manoeuvre the young wizard is about to perform.

'Pirate roll!' he shouts to his fighting dwarves, and jerks the helm to the left. The Skyrider responds to his touch, swerving violently as the deck swings from a horizontal to a near-vertical angle. The dwarves heed his cry and throw themselves to the deck, clutching the boards like limpets to a galleon's keel.

The Drakkarim are caught off-balance and hurtle over the decks and outriggers, tumbling into the void. Banedon rights the craft and a victory cheer resounds across the decks as you speed away from the Koos. 'Blood for blood!'

Turn to 247.
