Wiping the sweat from your brow, you sheathe your weapon and search the bodies of your ambushers. All of them are clad in black helmets and scarlet, chainmail hauberks, and each has an assortment of weapons and equipment strapped to their muscular bodies. You recognize the distinctive armour which identifies them as Zagganozod--a motley unit of Drakkarim cavalry which patrols the Blackshroud Trail. This company must have fled here on foot after the Drakkarim defeat at Cetza, for you can find no sign of their horses.

Your search of their bodies reveals the following items:

- 2 Swords
- 3 Quivers
- 2 Daggers
- 11 Arrows
- 3 Bows
- 2 Axes
- 1 Mace
- 1 Broadsword
- 16 Lune (4 Gold Crowns)
- Enough food for 4 Meals

You may take whatever items you wish. When you have made the necessary adjustments to your Action Chart, you ford the river and continue on foot.
