### 115

The startled guard dives aside as you spur your horse straight for him. You find that the gatehouse arch opens on to a cobblestoned square, but the only exit is blocked by the wagon and merchant caravan. A dozen guards, dressed in the green and black tunics of the town watch, are checking their cargoes. As you burst from the shadows of the gatehouse arch, they see you and cry in unison: 'Tollbreaker! Tollbreaker!'

If you wish to rein in your horse and prepare to fight the town watch, turn to 248.

If you wish to attempt to jump over the wagons and escape into the shadows of the winding street ahead, turn to 72.
