73

Shortly before noon you pass through a deserted village. The burnt-out ruins of cottages and farmsteads dot the landscape like charred skeletons—the unmistakable signs of war. A mile or two farther along the highway you come across a church. A man, his clothes ragged and covered with mud, is moving amongst the gravestones, staggering like a wounded carrion crow. As you reach the church gate, he sees you and cries out pitifully for help.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Curing, turn to 173.

If you wish to help the man, turn to 337.

If you do not wish to help the man and would rather ignore him and continue riding towards Soren, turn to 191.
