The rock shatters with a loud crack that sends the clansmen diving for cover. Instantly you spring out of the ditch, crouching as you run, your eyes fixed on the shadowy archway ahead. You are five yards from safety when your foot connects with a twisted steel rod protruding from the ground and you are sent sprawling. You land with a jolt (lose 1 ENDURANCE point), but almost immediately Knott pulls you to your feet by your Backpack and bundles you towards the archway. Moments later a beam of torchlight passes over the place where you fell. It hovers there for a few seconds then moves away slowly.

Patiently you wait for your breathing to return to normal. A glance around the pillar reveals the three clansmen searching the place where the rock landed. Confident that you have not been detected, you continue on your way.
