### 72

'Go away!' shouts the plump landlady of this tavern. 'We've no hospitality for those who show no respect to our dead Zakhan.'

Two burly man, wearing wide arm-bands of black silk, roughly push you out of the tavern door. You slip and fall on the dusty cobblestones, grazing your hip and elbows. Lose 1 ENDURANCE point. As you get to your feet, Maouk and his warriors rush into the plaza and surround you.

If you wish to fight them, turn to 36.

If you wish to surrender, turn to 176.
