### 67

A glancing blow to the side of your head is the first you know of the ambush that has been sprung by the group of creatures you saw whispering to each other in the chamber earlier. They were planning your murder, believing you to be a minion of Darklord Ghanesh--and arch-rival--because of the colour of your robe.

You stagger from the blow (lose 3 ENDURANCE points) but manage to keep your balance as you reach to unsheathe a weapon.
