Ruins of the Ancients

28

You hear a snuffling in the shadows and are instantly alert. Before you can react, out of the shadows emerges a large creature bristling with porcupine spikes from almost every part of its body. A snarling snout full of teeth towers above you, and it sweeps the air around you with razor sharp claws. Somehow this Agarashi from the Danarg Swamps has found its way to this place. You realize that probably the Ghoulag brought it here, perhaps for just this purpose- to test you. You draw your weapon and are preparing for battle when a sharp pain pounds into your head. Unless you possess the Discipline of Mindshield you must lose 2 ENDURANCE points for every round of combat you are involved in. In addition, due to the surprise and speed of the attack you must reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 4 for the first two rounds of combat.

Agarashi: COMBAT SKILL 18   ENDURANCE 24

You may evade after 3 rounds of combat.

If you evade or win this combat, turn to 49.
