| 295 The strange, dark shape lays motionless in the fury of the storm some twenty metres from the farmhouse. Every few seconds a great burst of lightning lights up the area about you, the shape outlined momentarily but then gone. It is difficult to distinguish and you cannot tell clearly what it might be. Then you see a glint of hard steel. A slight movement of an arm tells you all you need to know. Grabbing your sword you run out into the storm straight at the form laying in the grasses. Immediately the shape raises itself from the ground. It is a man dressed in close fitting black leather wielding a vicious looking dagger. Over the pounding of the storm he screams a warning at you and then attacks.
| You must fight this assassin. He has a combat rating of 26 and an endurance level of 16. If you defeat this skulker of the night turn to section 281. If you are defeated, then it will be here, in the ferocity of this storm that your quest will end.
