### 75

You raise your weapon and leap forward to strike a preemptive blow at the advancing Demonlord. The force of your strike would have decapitated any normal creature made of flesh and blood, but Tagazin is no such creature. A splash of bluish-white sparks explode at the point of impact and, to your horror, your weapon disintegrates to dust in your hand (delete this Weapon from your Weapons List).

Snickering evilly, the Demonlord springs forward to rake you with his razor-sharp claws.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. Now, unless you possess the Discipline of Deliverance, double the number you have chosen (in this instance, 0 = 10). The resultant total equals the number of ENDURANCE points lost by you in this deadly attack.

If you survive Tagazin’s initial attack, make the appropriate changes to your ENDURANCE points score and turn to 183.
