When you are less than five feet from the roof, a part of the surface cement crumbles beneath your fingers. Desperately you throw your arms wide, seeking new purchase, and only just manage to prevent yourself from falling backwards to the street below. This close call leaves your hands skinned and bleeding: lose 2 ENDURANCE points.

Determinedly you haul yourself up the remaining few feet and take firm hold of the tower parapet.

Turn to 10.
