### 212

You dismount, hoping that the horse does not stray, and plant yourself squarely, feet apart, to face the oncoming rush of Winged Demons. They are travelling at an incredible speed. Your heart is pounding. You mutter a Shianti prayer of hope under your breath and concentrate on the flock of creatures, judging their speed as closely as you can. You notice that they are spreading out into a kind of battle formation: a diagonal line angled towards you.

If you wish to fire a long-range attack with your Wizard's Staff at the leading demon in the formation, and you have 2 WILLPOWER points, turn to 317.

If not, turn to 244.
