### 223

A group of Drakkarim, led by a figure dressed in a hooded red robe, is making its way towards the ironclad. Suddenly it halts and one of the Drakkar warriors points at the platform on which you are standing. Rather than stay and confront them, you slide down the ladder quickly and slip away under cover of the piles of steel plates and girders.

By the time the group reaches the platform, you are back on your horse and heading along the street that leads away from the dock.

Turn to 97.
