You turn your head slightly and see a pair of sandalled feet standing on the deck by your side. They belong to the Elder with whom you almost collided when you jumped aboard the longboat. He repeats his command and this time you recognize some of the words. You think he is saying something like: 'Move, or you'll be wounded.'

If you wish to move along the bench, turn to 219.

If you decide to ignore his command, turn to 292.
