Rising Sun: Issue 5

Ruins of the Ancients

25

You are walking casually along the corridor when you hear some sort of swishing sound ahead. You stop suddenly and crane your ears for some sign of whatever creature made the sound. Perhaps you can show the creature the true horror of meeting an enemy like you. The dark connection to Naar seems to flare inside of you and a sudden bloodlust rises. Licking your chops, you anxiously draw your weapon. You are ready to drink the blood of whatever lies ahead, enemy or friend. Whatever it is, Naar seems almost gleeful at the prospect of you dealing its death. Inching forward your senses are temporarily heightened to greater strength and you spot your quarry. A slight surprise fills your face as you see who it is. A Kai Master stands in front of you. Even if you wished to you cannot back away now, the urging from your dark side is too strong. The desire to drain this Kai of his blood is driving you insane with fury. You leap forward to attack this Kai. He reacts immediately and draws his own weapon in response. If you possess the Skill of Hunting add 2 to your COMBAT SKILL for the two rounds of combat due to the point that you have moved so swiftly that the Kai is completely surprised. Unless you possess the Skill of Mindshield you will lose 2 points of ENDURANCE every round of combat. The Kai Master is also immune to Mindblast.

Kai Master: COMBAT SKILL 24 ENDURANCE 26

If you successfully defeat the Kai Master, turn to 43.
