Indiana Jones & the Peril at Delphi

ONE SHOT IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

It was twilight as they descended the hils into the outskirts of the capital. The lights of Athens were blinking on below them. Indy was tired, thirsty, and hungry, but most of al he was anxious to get to the palace. It was the one place he felt they would be safe . If they could get through the front gate.

But Conrad interrupted his thoughts. "Take a look at what's ahead,' he said.

Indy grimaced. "Swel. A roadblock."

Nikos leaned forward. "I bet this is where it gets dangerous."

Indy frowned at the impetuous kid. "At least one of the places."

"Look," Conrad said. "Let's reason with them. Wel explain that we have important information for the king."

There was no time to argue. They were fifty yards short of the roadblock when one of the soldiers pointed. Several others raised their guns. They fired and the windshield shattered. "I don't think they're open to conversation," Indy said.

"The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it."
