### 86

After spending two hours scrutinizing every move the Giak guards make, you are sure that the two patrolling the wall follow the same routine with little variation. Once every two minutes exactly, their beat brings them both to a point near the watchtower at the middle of the wall, where they turn about before starting another circuit of patrol.

You wait until one of the sentries reaches the end of the battlements--at a point where it abuts the sheer mountain wall--and when he turns to march back to the centre, you make your move. Crouching low, you scurry to the foot of the wall and begin to climb, counting every passing second as you struggle to find handholds in the darkness.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you possess the Magnakai Discipline of Invisibility, add 2 to the number you have picked. If you possess the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery, and have reached the Kai rank of Primate or more, add 3.

If your total score is now 0-6, turn to 22.

If it is 7 or more, turn to 227.
