### 309

You leap into the saddle and steer your horse away from the lake and the sinister circle of boulders. Then you hear another frenzied howl and you glance over your shoulder to see a pack of eight ridge-backed Jackals come streaming through a gap in the boulders, drawn by the scent of your horse. They seem to know that he is in a weakened state and this fuels their fury.

You urge your horse to the gallop as the Jackals bound along the shore, but he is weakening fast and the ground here is treacherous: it is strewn with loose rocks and jagged shale.

If you possess Grand Huntmastery, and have reached the rank of Kai Grand Guardian or higher, turn to 112.

If you do not possess this Discipline, or have yet to attain this level of Kai rank, turn to 99.
