### 119

A look of horror washes over the Drakkar's face as he sees you raise your bow and let loose your arrow at his head. Your shaft penetrates his forehead, and the force of the shot lifts him clear of the deck and knocks him flat on his back. Just then the first of his troops appear at the rail. For a moment they hesitate when they see their officer dead, but their shock soon turns to fury. 'Shez dot got!' they scream, and come thundering towards you with murder blazing in their eyes.

If you wish to evade their attack, turn to 274.

If you choose to stand your ground and receive their attack, turn to 347.
