### 299

Patiently you wait for one of the overworked tavern girls to notice you, but before you can raise your hand and attract her attention, you are suddenly aware of the sharp point of a dagger being pressed against your spine.

'Your purse or your life,' whispers the swarthy-faced mercenary who has appeared at your side. 'Make your mind up quickly or my friend may be a little careless with his knife.'

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery, turn to 114.

If you wish to hand over all your Gold Crowns without offering any resistance to the robbers, turn to 161.

If you have no Gold Crowns, or if you decide to refuse these men their demand and fight them, turn to 282.
