Votes registered; Ariel Faust Constantine will do as the outlaw says but with the intention of tricking her.
232
You lay down your sword and, pulling the purse containing your gold (or lack of it) from your backpack, toss it in front of you on to the road. Just as you hoped, the leader of the outlaws jumps down from the branch to pick up the purse. Now is your chance to secure your freedom. With lightning speed, you pick up your sword and dash at the woman in the hopes of taking her hostage. Test your Skill. If you are successful, turn to 253. If you fail, turn to 363.
Rolling the dice yielded a 3, which is obviously less than Ariel Faust Constantine’s Skill, so she is successful in taking the woman hostage.
253
Before she can even reach the money, you grab the outlaw and twist her arm behind her back while you press your sword against her neck. You tell the rogues to drop their weapons, but you spin around as you hear another of the brigands trying to creep up on you. You do not react in time, however, to stop the club making contact with your shoulder (lose 2 STAMINA points). Turn to 312.
312
In an instant you are surrounded by the band of outlaws. If you have their leader as a hostage, you manage to dispatch two of your attackers using the woman as a shield, before she frees herself from your grasp. Roll one die. If you roll 1-2, you trip up one rogue, sending him flying into his companion, leaving the two stunned. If you roll 3-4, you knock out one opponent with your sword hilt. Any outlaws you deal with come from the top of the list below. You must fight the remaining outlaws, two at a time.
VETERAN BRIGAND SKILL 8 STAMINA 6
SCARRED RUFFIAN SKILL 6 STAMINA 7
DWARF ROGUE SKILL 6 STAMINA 5
STAFF-WIELDING OUTLAW SKILL 8 STAMINA 7
BLACKGUARD SKILL 7 STAMINA 5
OUTLAW LEADER SKILL 7 STAMINA 7
If you defeat the other outlaws and reduce the Outlaw Leader’s STAMINA to 3 points or less, turn to 223.
Rolling the die yielded a 5, so only the top two attackers are dispatched due to taking the outlaw leader hostage.
