Your Kai healing skills slowly neutralize the snake’s deadly venom, yet as they do battle with the toxins in your blood, so your body is racked by agonizing convulsions: lose 8 ENDURANCE points.

Fearing the worst, Oriah and the others gather around your trembling body and do what they can to make your last few moments of life as comfortable as possible. When suddenly you begin to recover they can hardly believe their eyes, for it is well known that the bite of a Jubai will kill its victim within one minute. Your companions are open-mouthed with shock when you stop trembling and sit up as if you are waking from nothing more than a troubled dream.

Turn to 90.
