### 183

You land with a splash and roll into the ditch to avoid being trampled by the following horses. After clawing the muck from your eyes, you crawl along the channel. A short distance ahead of you a knight is pinned beneath his dead horse. He is flailing his arms wildly and you can see that his head is trapped beneath the mud and he is slowly drowning.

If you wish to save his life by pulling him out from beneath his horse, turn to 79.

If you choose to ignore his plight, you can remount your own horse; turn to 334.

Or you can follow the Prince's attack on foot; turn to 115.
