	You direct your Kai powers at the river in an attempt 
Š	to divert its current and send the drowning man 
Š	towards the safety of the bank. However, the current 
Š	proves too strong to be altered using your discipline 
Š	of Elementalism alone, and you are physically and 
Š	mentally weakened by the exertion of your attempt: 
Š	lose 3 ENDURANCE points.

	Having discovered that you cannot help the drowning 
Š	man using your Grand Mastery alone, you are forced to 
Š	resort to more direct and conventional methods. As he 
Š	goes under for the last time, you dive into the muddy 
Š	water and swim across the surging current. Guided by 
Š	your sixth sense, you locate his body and then pull 
Š	him to the surface. You fight to maintain your grip 
Š	as the powerful current sweeps you downstream, and
	you are propelled along for more than a mile before 
Š	it finally deposits you on the opposite bank. As you 
Š	drag the man from the water, you notice a group of 
Š	huts in the distance. You are about to haul the 
Š	unconscious man over your shoulder and set off 
Š	towards them, when suddenly you detect that he has no 
Š	pulse. Using your Magnakai discipline of Curing you 
Š	are able to restart his heart and empty the water 
Š	from his lungs, yet you are unable to restore him to 
Š	full consciousness. The sudden sound of voices makes 
Š	you look towards the huts where you see a group of 
Š	natives pointing excitedly in your direction. They 
Š	are all wearing jerkins and loincloths made from 
Š	animal hide, clothing that is identical to that worn 
Š	by the man you have saved from the river. You call to 
Š	them and wave your arms to attract their attention 
Š	and they quickly respond. You are expecting them to 
Š	be be pleased that you have saved one of their 
Š	kinfolk, but as they come closer you are shocked by 
Š	their unexpected response.
