The great sea beast roars, and a blast of putrid breath blows you away from the longboat, rolling you over and over like a leaf in a storm. Pain lances through your shoulder as you glance off the mainmast and crash against the ship’s starboard rail: lose 2 ENDURANCE points.

Your Bow is still gripped firmly in your hand, and, as you struggle to your feet, you draw a fresh Arrow and take aim once more at the monster’s head.

If you wish to fire at the creature’s eye, turn to 82.

If you wish to fire into the creature’s mouth, turn to 236.

If you decide to fire at the creature’s ear, turn to 135.
