Title: Test of the Ninja
Description: **FACE TO FACE WITH A DEADLY NINJA!**

High on an oceanside cliff, you draw your aching body up to the comparative safety of a narrow ledge, breathing a sigh of relief at having escaped from the bandits on the beach far below. Pulling yourself to your feet, you gasp as you see a dark-shrouded figure descending from above. As the figure lands lightly on the ledge and turns to face you, you recognize it as a ninja!

Smaller than your attackers on the beach, the ninja crouches in a low fighting stance. Black clothing covers him completely, except for his piercing eyes. He holds a straight-bladed katana out to one side, in a position you've never seen before. You realize you've never heard of anyone surviving a fight with a ninja. You'll need all your skill and experience to survive this encounter.

Fighting back panic, you tighten your grip on your sword, Kurodachi, determined that the ninja, whoever he is, will not find you an easy victim.

**Can you survive against the deadly ninja?**
