<description class="blurb">
<p>You are Lone Wolf&emdash;Kai Grand Master of Sommerlund. The spirit of Vashna, greatest of all the Darklords, is imprisoned deep within the fathomless reaches of the Maakengorge. For centuries, servants of darkness have tried to summon him to do their bidding but always they have failed&ellips; until now!</p>
<p>In <cite>The Legacy of Vashna</cite>, you must locate and defeat the Darklord's minions before they can complete the resurrection of their master&emdash;the most powerful Lord of Evil your world has ever known. Will you succeed in your quest? Or will you and your fragile world perish in the wrath of Vashna?</p>
<data>
<p>The fat drunkard can hardly believe his luck when you reach to your belt pouch and count out ten Gold Crowns into his grubby hand.</p>
- <p><quote>May the gods bless y' boots, sir!</quote> he cackles, as he stuffs the gleaming crowns into his pocket. <quote>If it's the Crooked Sage you be a'wantin' to visit, you be needin' Tavern Lane, o'er there,</quote> he says, enthusiastically pointing to the street which leads off to the east.</p>

<p>With the drunkard's gleeful laughter echoing in your ears, you spur Bracer to a canter and enter this foul-smelling street. Clamped against the walls of the surrounding buildings are oil-soaked torches which serve to illuminate the signs of wine shops and taverns. They are crudely painted with emblems&emdash;a bloodied battle-axe, a winged horse, a watery sun rising from a broken skull. There is not one which resembles a crooked sage and you are beginning to suspect you have been duped, when suddenly you hear the sound of drunken revelry coming from a two-storey building at the end of the street. Its oaken doors hang open and the vivid orange glare of its roaring hearth spills invitingly into the dank night gloom. Although it has no painted emblem, you sense at once that you have come to the Crooked Sage Inn.</p>

<p>(<a idref="sect229">229</a>) Since this attack is described as a <quote>Kai-blast</quote>, you should deduct 4 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points from your current score.</p>
<p>(<a idref="sect229">229</a>) The originally published edition of this book instructed you to add 5 points to your <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score. We believe that our alteration to specify restoration instead of addition is closer to the intent of the author. The original led to several questions. Would this additional score be a permanent increase of your maximum <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ>? Permanent alterations of basic scores in the middle of an adventure are rare making this option unlikely. Nor does the context support this conclusion. Then would this addition only be for the duration of the combat similar to the bonus to <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>? This makes the bonus useless. If you were to complete the combat with fewer than 5 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points remaining and then removed the bonus after the combat was over, you would be just as dead as without the bonus. Another proposal was that you should remove the bonus from your score only if it leaves your score above the normal maximum after the combat. Although reasonable, this probably wasn't the intent of the author since he did not specify this procedure. We have opted for the simplest, most straightforward choice: that this is just a restorative effect.</p>
