You summon and focus your psychic powers and then launch a powerful burst of mental energy at the serpent’s mind. To your shocked surprise, you suddenly detect that this creature has no susceptibility to psychic attacks, and your burst of Kai-surge strikes its mind without effect (lose 1 ENDURANCE point).

Unaware of your mental attack, the giant snake lunges forward and attempts to stab you with its venomous fangs. You dodge aside to avoid being impaled upon them, and as the snake withdraws its head in readiness for a second strike, you land a might blow to its neck. The creature hisses angrily. You have opened a deep wound but it has not incapacitated the creature. Once more it opens its terrifying jaws and prepares to stab at your chest. You must fight it.
