You try to dodge aside but the mist whirls around you like a snake. An intense heat burns your body—it is as if you are surrounded by coils of white-hot metal—and your mind is filled with terrifying images of the supernatural: lose 6 ENDURANCE points.

Confident that it has ensnared another victim, the grey ghoul stalks forward. You fight to clear your mind of the swirling visions as the creature raises its hand and prepares to strike you down with a pitted iron spike.

Psi-ghoul: COMBAT SKILL 20 ENDURANCE 30

Owing to the power of its psychic attack, you must reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 4 points for the duration of the fight. If you wield the Sommerswerd in this combat, you may double this undead creature’s ENDURANCE point loss.

If you win the combat, turn to 87.
