### 224

Having made a wide detour to avoid the ford, eventually you discover an old game-trail which runs alongside the river. You follow this track for several miles until you reach a place where massive boulders, smoothed by centuries of erosion, rise out of the foaming torrent like giant stepping stones. It would be difficult, though not impossible, to cross the river at this point, but not on horseback. Reluctantly you leave your mount and make your crossing by leaping from one boulder to the next. You are halfway across when you are faced with a leap that is wider than you have ever attempted before.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery and have reached the Kai rank of Primate or more, add 2 to the number you have picked.

If your total is now 6 or less, turn to 265.

If it is 7 or more, turn to 43.
