### 258

You strike the glowing ball of flame, and an explosion flings you against the wall of the refectory. Your weapon has disintegrated and you have suffered severe burns to your arms and body: lose 8 ENDURANCE points and delete the weapon from your Weapons List.

Sore and bloodied, you drag yourself to your feet in time to see the Helghast preparing to launch another fireball. This time the target is your head.

If you wish to try to avoid the missile by diving aside at the last possible moment, turn to 27.

If you have another hand weapon and wish to use it to attack the Helghast, turn to 75.
