In an instant Paido is by your side, his sword unsheathed and levelled at the monks. 'Summon the brothers!' commands the one in black. The others leave through the open door, slamming it shut behind them as they run to obey their master's order.

If you wish to attack the remaining monk, turn to 277.

If you wish to demand that he lets you leave the temple unharmed, turn to 99.
