The lightning strike has burned through your pack and seared your back: lose 5 ENDURANCE points.

Numb with shock, you stagger unsteadily to your feet and unsling your smouldering Backpack. After smothering with snow those parts which have been scorched by the lightning bolt, you open the flap to discover that three items have been completely destroyed (erase three items of your own choosing from your Backpack list).

Pained but thankful at least to have survived the deadly strike, you shoulder your Backpack and hurry the last few remaining yards towards the beckoning shelter of the cave.

Turn to 146.
