### 85

The climb proves to be one of the most difficult you have ever attempted. There are precious few places for you to put your feet, and for much of the climb, your arms have to support all your weight. Progress is slow and painful, and your efforts are further hampered by gusts of wind and rain.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table and add 2. If you possess the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery and have reached the Kai rank of Primate you may deduct 2 from this total figure. Your final figure equals the number of ENDURANCE points lost due to wounds and fatigue before you reach the opposite side.

Aching and exhausted, you climb to the top of the stairs and approach the breached fortress wall.

Turn to 27.
