### 32

Drawing on your advanced Magnakai skills, you cause your facial characteristics to become harder and more brutal in appearance.

'Loga ok okak sheg!' (Free me you dog!) you growl in Giak, mimicking the Drakkarim accent to perfection. In the confines of the corridor, your assailant is easily deceived into thinking that he has assaulted one of his fellow marines by mistake. The moment he releases his grip, you spin around and attack with your bare but deadly hands.

Drakkar (surprise attack): COMBAT SKILL 12 ENDURANCE 26

You must fight the first two rounds of combat unarmed. Only at the start of the third round are you able to unsheathe a hand weapon.

If you win the combat, turn to 253.
