### 42

A section of the boomsail strikes your face, opening a nasty gash across your forehead: lose 4 ENDURANCE points. Stunned by the blow, you react sluggishly to the burning canvas now draped over your body. In a matter of seconds the flames and smoke have completely engulfed you, yet your clothes do not ignite and you feel absolutely no pain, save the wound to your head. Without haste or urgency you cast the blazing sail aside and emerge unburned.

Turn to 101.
