### 131

Pick a number from the Random Number Table (0=10). The number you have picked is equal to the number of ENDURANCE points lost as a result of the lightning impact and the fall.

You are left stunned and smouldering by the explosion. Drunkenly, you stagger to your feet and use your Magnakai Discipline of Nexus to extinguish those parts of your cloak and tunic ignited by the blast. Your Weapon disintegrated when it was hit (erase it from your Action Chart), yet it served to conduct some of the energy of the lightning ball away from your body.

Your terrified horse has halted at the river's edge and you call to him, using your natural Kai skills to calm and control his fear. He responds at once and returns to collect you. Swiftly you climb back into the saddle and gallop away along the river trail, anxious to put distance between you and this deadly storm.

Turn to 80.
