<p>Your ability in each of these five individual skills is measured in skill points. You begin with 3 points per skill. Before starting the adventure, you may allocate an additional 4 skill points to your list of five Survival Skills. These 4 extra points can be used to improve one or more of your five skills. During your adventure, all five skills will be severely tested; therefore the higher the individual skill level, the better your chances of survival. You may allocate your 4 additional points entirely how you like.</p>
<p>When you have decided where to allocate your 4 additional skill points, make a note of the totals in the Survival Skills section of your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>.</p>
<p>(If this is your first <cite>Freeway Warrior</cite> adventure, your total number of skill points should be 19: five skills x 3 points each = 15, plus 4 additional skill points = 19 points.)</p>
- <p>If you complete successfully the mission set in Book 2 of the Freeway Warrior series, you may add an additional 4 points to your Survival Skills in Book 3. These additional points, together with any equipment and provisions that you possess at the end of Book 2, may then be used in the next <cite>Freeway Warrior</cite> adventure, which is called <bookref series="fw" book="03toz"><cite>The Omega Zone</cite></bookref>.</p>

<p>As you steer away from the pump house, you look in your mirror to see the biker speeding towards the apex of the roof. He is within a few inches of the top when it suddenly caves in beneath his front wheel and he is flung head-first over the handlebars. With a scream of terror he cartwheels through the air and lands heavily on his back at the edge of the freeway. Winded by the fall, he cannot summon enough strength to roll away as his bike comes crashing down upon him.</p>

On day two, Cal rescues Kate and escapes from San Angelo. They spend that night in Eldorado (or fall asleep while driving through the night and crash). The next day (day three), Cal and Kate drive to Bakersfield. They spend that night in the library there. On day four, they reach Fort Stockton and meet the WDL soldiers. At the beginning of <a idref="sect281">Section 281</a>, it mentions that the weather deteriorates at dawn the following morning which would be day five. So, two days and two nights of bad weather would mean that the heroes cannot leave until the morning of day <em>seven</em>.
