### 277

The sniper's second arrow splinters harmlessly against the wall behind which you shelter. Close to where you lie is the crimson-splashed body of a Drakkarim Death Knight. Wounded during the fighting at the bridge, he crawled here to die. A Broadsword and an Axe hang from his belt, and among the contents which have spilled out of his pack you see a Bottle of Water, a Torch, a blanket and enough food for three Meals.

You may take any of these Backpack Items or Weapons before leaving the ruins and pressing on towards the centre of the town.

Turn to 155.
