### 336

Your arrow strikes the Drakkar horseman but wounds him only superficially, merely grazing the side of his neck. However, the sudden pain makes him cry out and snatch the reins to his chest. His startled horse rears up on its hind legs, throwing its rider to the ground. You drop your bow and draw a hand weapon before leaping upon the prone Drakkar, determined to finish him before he has a chance to recover.

Turn to 175.
