### 232

The Drakkar gurgles his death-cry and falls heavily to the deck, his scimitar still clasped firmly in his hand. Then the first of his troops appear at the rail. For a moment they hesitate when they see their officer lying dead, but shock soon turns to fury. 'Shez dot got!' they scream, as they thunder towards you, murder blazing in their cruel eyes.

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

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