You focus your psychic energy at the distant druid and release a burst of power the instant he takes his eyes off you. You see him falter and place a hand to his forehead, as if he has just been struck by a stone.

Your sudden and unexpected use of a psychic attack caught the Arch Druid offguard. His inner mind is well shielded, but you sense that your burst of power has weakened him. Seizing this opportunity, you draw your weapon and rush forwards to attack him before he fully recovers.25

Arch Druid Cadak: COMBAT SKILL 45 ENDURANCE 32

If you win this combat, turn to 298.

[25] There are strong indications that Arch Druid Cadak should be immune to both Mind Blast and Psi-surge but not Kai-surge. The Cener High Priest fought in The Plague Lords of Ruel Sections 156 and 212 is immune to these lesser psychic Disciplines, and this Section describes Arch Druid Cadak's inner mind as 'well-shielded'.
