### 305

First through the archway comes a brace of hunting dogs. They lope along the central aisle with unnerving speed, their jaws agape and their eyes open wide with the excitement of the hunt. As they see you they increase their speed and get ready to pounce.

If you have a bow and two arrows and wish to use them, turn to 164.

If you do not have a bow, you must prepare yourself for combat, for the dogs are almost upon you.

Hunting Dogs: COMBAT SKILL 15 ENDURANCE 25

If you win the combat, turn to 231.
