The next sound you hear is the rustle of leather as the cyclists draw their pistols. Quickly, you roll to the side and grab your own gun.

An ordinary person has a Defense Class of 9 and 3 hit points. If you have armor, it gives you 3 or 6 more hit points - but these· punks have no armor. Your weapon is better than theirs, too. If your shot hits a cyclist, it will do 2 hits of damage, knocking him unconscious and taking him out of the action. But the cyclists are carrying light pistols, doing only 1 hit of damage.

The cyclists fire first - then you fire. Then the cyclists fire again - and so on. Play out the combat.

If you hit all three cyclists, tum to 399. If they reduce you to 1 hit, tum to 373.
