### 289

You scramble behind the table, the only cover offered on this side of the refectory, to find yourself crouched beside Paido. He is still breathing, although unconscious. His blue-steel sword rests across the back of his legs and the hilt of a dagger protrudes from the top of his boot.

If you wish to take his sword, turn to 47.

If you wish to take the dagger and throw it at the Helghast, turn to 211.
