### 330

Stealthily you move through the tangled undergrowth to arrive at the edge of the road at a spot opposite the Meledorians, whom you can hear talking in hushed tones in a language you find easy to understand. They are speculating on what has become of you and your chariot escort, now long overdue. You notice that each warrior carries a small crossbow attached by a metallic sleeve to his right forearm. The sight of these weapons, which can be fired in an instant, convinces you that it would be wise not to startle these scouts.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Divination and wish to call to them telepathically, turn to 52.

If you wish to shout who you are without revealing your position, turn to 242.

If you wish to emerge from the bushes with your hands above your head, turn to 15.
