### 27

You hit the floor and roll behind the table, the only cover available on this side of the refectory. The fireball scorches your back as it speeds across the room and explodes against the wall with a deafening crack. You find yourself lying beside Paido, who is unconscious but still alive. 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 have the Magnakai Discipline of Divination and have reached the rank of Tutelary, turn to 131.

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

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