Note that the die roll for desertion due to mark of Cain is made with just one die. Introductory paragraph is completely wrong. Instead, you can immediately elect to fight the character encountered, see r300. In second paragraph, second line, reference to victim selection should be r341, not r143. The eagle who joins is combat skill 4, endurance 3.

Errata These are mainly typos that I have run across in the rulebook. Alternatively, read e082 instead of e072. Read e071 instead of e072. Alternatively, use some random method of determining whether you capture the horses or not - roll a die, and if it is less than or equal to the number of mounted opponents you fought and who did not run away, then you gain that many horses. If you bribe the seneschal, you automatically gain an audience with the local lord.
