As you stand, a man leaps toward you, swinging a mace. You duck, and the weapon sweeps over your head. While you dodge the man's attacks, Roderick and Teromil engage two more of the ambushers at the doorway. One of the attackers strikes Teromil, who collapses.

You can now see Salamdros, who stands outside the doorway, making strange gestures with his hands and muttering words you don't understand. You are suddenly very sleepy. The next thing you remember is Roderick shaking your shoulder. "Wake up! We must go!" he says. You mumble and turn over, trying to go back to sleep. He shakes your shoulder once more, then slaps you hard in the face. You raise your arm to block the second blow. "Enough," you say. "I'm awake!”

Your opponents are nowhere in sight. Salamdros is struggling into his chain mail and you see your own equipment on the table. "We found our equipment stored in this room," says Roderick, helping you up. "Teromil is dead; I could do nothing to save him. We must now push on without him." Go to page 106.
