<p><strong>In the World of Lone Wolf a new hero has arisen<ch.emdash/>Grey Star the Wizard</strong></p>
<p>You are Grey Star. From the core of a raging storm you appeared<ch.emdash/>a human child, ship-wrecked and orphaned, a gift of hope to the exiled Shianti sorcerers. Ever since that fateful night they have raised you as one of their own, teaching you the mysteries of their magic in preparation for an epic quest.</p>

<p>Taking Shan<ch.apos/>s arm, you break into a trot, pulling him after you, though he seems to need little encouragement. Unfortunately your sudden movement attracts the attention of the Quoku, and a chorus of loud and rapid croaking fills the evening air.</p>
<p>The Wall of Azakawa is still many miles away and you pray that you will be able to outdistance the Quoku. Even if you should be able to reach the cliff-face, you know no way of crossing beyond the wall into the Azanam. With a growing dread, you fear that your run will be in vain. Unless you can find somewhere to hide, or think of a swift way of scaling the cliff once you reach it, you will be caught. But despite your doubt, you keep running: you have no choice.</p>

<p>One stall in particular catches your eye. A sign reads:</p>

<p>The narrow street widens and grows lighter. The source of the light is the window of a grim, stone building at the end of the street which opens on to the market square. Above the doorway of the building hangs a sign which reads:</p>
- <signpost>INN OF THE LAUGHING MOON</signpost>
+ <signpost>Inn of the Laughing Moon</signpost>
<p>You decide that you must try to find some information from the Suhnese inhabitants. Perhaps you can pick up some clues about the whereabouts of the Lost Tribe of Lara.</p>
<choice idref="sect157">If you wish to try to gain this information in the market square, <link-text>turn to 157</link-text>.</choice>
<choice idref="sect82">If you would rather enter the Inn of the Laughing Moon, <link-text>turn to 82</link-text>.</choice>
<p>There are numerous unanswered questions with this combat. The addition of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> and <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> is straightforward, but which attribute do you lower when wounded in this mental combat? A mental combat would suggest that you will lose <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> as this is the measure of you mental strength. It is possible to have a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score which would mean that the combat would only come to an end when the Darkling Room<ch.apos/>s <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> was lowered to 0. Using your true <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score is the less paradoxical route.</p>
<p>In either case, if your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> or <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score is lowered during a round of combat, do you then adjust your combined <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> and <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score which is serving as your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> for this combat?</p>
<p>There are no easy answers to these questions. It is up to the reader to decide which solution is most appropriate.</p>
- <p>Also, you cannot use your Wizard<ch.apos/>s Staff in this combat; since the combat is mental in nature, it would be inappropriate to use it, which means that you should not be able to use <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> to multiply your opponent<ch.apos/>s loss of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ>.</p>
</footnote>
</footnotes>
<p>The slightest contact with this monster<ch.apos/>s flesh could spell death for you. You must fight defensively. Deduct 1 point from your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> for the duration of this combat.</p>
<combat><enemy>Large Quoku</enemy><enemy-attribute class="combatskill">15</enemy-attribute><enemy-attribute class="endurance">30</enemy-attribute></combat>
<p>You may only fight one round of combat as the Quoku flies past.</p>
