61

Your lightning reactions have saved you from the river. You sidestep in time to avoid the sinuous tentacle and lash out. The blow opens a wide gash and an arc of green blood sprays across the battered rowing boat. Only two of your men remain. One stabs at the tentacle around his foot, and the other lies unconscious at your feet, his arm badly broken at the elbow.

If you wish to hack at the tentacle that is coiled around the ranger’s foot, turn to 304.

If you wish to aid the unconscious ranger lying at your feet, turn to 136.

If you wish to grab the oars and row for the bank, turn to 189.
