You increase your stroke until you are rowing as fast as you can, then you hear the leader shout a command and suddenly the rain of arrows ceases. You pray that you are either out of range, or the enemy are out of arrows, but when you glance at the shore you see that the leader has you fixed in his sights. The only reason he has ordered his troops to stop firing is because he wants you all to himself.

If you possess Kai-alchemy and have reached the Kai rank of Sun Knight, turn to 17.

If you possess Kai-alchemy but have yet to reach this level of Kai mastery, turn to 86.

If you do not possess this Discipline, turn instead to 345.
