### 145

You are becoming weaker and weaker. After what seems an eternity of painful struggle you find the Laumspur and force yourself to swallow the dry leaves. Within seconds you are violently sick, after which you drift off into a restless sleep.

It is nearly an hour before you awake and you still feel dreadfully ill. Deduct 5 ENDURANCE points.12

As you slowly regain your strength, the shock of what has happened soon turns to anger. You grab your equipment and stagger out of the room, intent on confronting your would-be assassin.

Turn to 200.

[12] Due to the loss of ENDURANCE after taking the potion, it is probably intended that you may not restore 3 ENDURANCE points from eating the Laumspur as you normally would.
