### 204

At the cost of 2 WILLPOWER points, you lash out at the tendril that holds Shan. The energy beam slices through the creeper. It withers instantly and releases him.

In the time that it has taken you to free Shan, two more creepers have crawled towards you. One is curled around your right leg; the other grips your left ankle. The creepers must belong to different Yaku plants, for you can feel yourself being pulled in two directions. Once more you are dragged to the ground and the pain becomes unbearable as your body is stretched apart.

As you are forcibly dragged to the ground you may fire at the heart of the nearest Yaku plant, which is only a Staff's length away, by turning to 329.

If you would prefer to attack the Yaku vine holding your right leg, turn to 279.

If you wish to attack the Yaku vine on your left leg, turn to 304.
