You hurtle through the smoke towards the harbour wall, but unfortunately you have mistimed your leap and you miss the quayside by just a few feet. You glance off the wall and tumble head-first into the sea: lose 3 ENDURANCE points.

The frigid water is shockingly cold, but at least your Magnakai Discipline of Nexus protects you from its numbing chill and you are able to surface quickly. Burning chunks of timber and sailcloth rain down all around as you strike out towards a flight of stone steps that rise out of the sea to the top of the quay. However, upon reaching the steps you are met by a dozen skeletal warriors who are determined to slay you before you can haul yourself out of the icy water.

Ixian Undead: COMBAT SKILL 41 ENDURANCE 46

These beings are immune to all forms of psychic attack, except Kai-surge and Kai-blast. Also, because you are still in the icy water, you must reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 5 for the duration of this combat.

If you win this fight, turn to 109.
