The bleak, treeless Wildlands offer no cover in which you can hide from the bandit hordes. They outnumber your men by four to one, and the life and death of your entire company now depends on your decision.

If you wish to counterattack the bandits in the hope that your bold action will scare them off, turn to 284.

If you wish to split your company, detaching a group of ten rangers to follow you whilst sending the remainder off towards the west in the hope of luring the bulk of the bandit horde away to the Durncrag Mountains, turn to 211.

If you wish to head south at the gallop, to try to reach the shelter of the Ruanon Forest before the bandits close in, turn to 30.
