### 85

As you hear the click of the crossbow trigger, you throw yourself to the ground to avoid the deadly missile. The bolt grazes your scalp (lose 2 ENDURANCE points), and embeds itself in the side of the log hut. A moment later you are back on your feet. The warrior discards his empty weapon and reins his horse about in order to follow the others across the bridge.

If you have a bow, turn to 178.

If you do not have a bow, you must mount your horse and give chase, and turn to 39.
