The dark, indistinct shape lays motionless in the fury of the storm some twenty metres from the farmhouse. Every few seconds a great burst of lightning illuminates 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. Quickly you tether Pallenten to a strong beam and move closer. In the face of the storm you throw your hood over your head and brace yourself for what is to come. As you step out into the tempest it hits you like a physical blow, and for a moment you have to steady yourself as you fight the strength of the wind and the relentless stream of rain and sleet that falls around you. Then you see a glint of hard steel. A slight movement of an arm against the backdrop of the storm tells you all you need to know.
Drawing your sword you run 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 value of 15 and an endurance level of 14. 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.
