### 272

Swiftly and silently they leave their huts, creeping like cats stalking their prey. They move on two legs, although they appear better suited to loping on all fours. You turn and run for all you are worth, but this is their territory and they know every fold in the ground. Swiftly they gain on you, forcing you to stand and fight.

If you have a bow and wish to use it, turn to 28.

If you have a Fireseed and wish to throw it, turn to 207.

If you wish to draw a hand weapon, turn to 346.
