Before you can fully unsheathe your weapon, the creature slams into you and rakes your chest with her terrible claws: lose 4 ENDURANCE points.

Bravely you struggle to your feet and raise your weapon to defend yourself as she lashes out at your face. You parry her blow and counter it by launching yourself headlong into a desperate fight to the finish.
