You steer the horse towards the platform and the troops scatter before you. All, that is, save one. He is a Death Knight sergeant, an élite Drakkarim warrior. He curses his comrades for their cowardice and, as you bear down on him with your lance levelled at his chest, he draws his sword and gets ready to meet your attack head-on. Then the tip of your lance strikes his steel breastplate and you are forced back in your saddle with a jolt that leaves you breathless.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If your current ENDURANCE points score is 12 or higher, add 2 to the number you have picked.

If your total score is now 2 or less, turn to 82.

If it is 3 or higher, turn to 348.
