### 308

Your Weapon disintegrated in the blast (erase it from your Action Chart), yet it served to conduct the energy of the lightning ball away from your body. It has spared you from sustaining injury and possibly death.

Dazed by the blast and the fall, you stagger to your feet and look around for your horse. He has halted at the river’s edge where he is pacing nervously to and fro. You call to him, using your natural Kai skills to calm and control his fear, and 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.
