<p>This Discipline can be used to restore <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points lost in combat. If you possess this skill you may restore 1 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> point to your total for every numbered section of the book you pass through in which you are not involved in combat.

Remember that your <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> cannot rise above its original level.</p>

<p>Turn to the <a idref="crtable">Combat Results Table</a>. Along the top of the chart are shown the Combat Ratio numbers. Find the number that is the same as your Combat Ratio and cross-reference it with the random number that you have picked (the random numbers appear on the side of the chart). You now have the number of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points lost by both Lone Wolf and his enemy in this round of combat. (E represents points lost by the enemy; LW represents points lost by Lone Wolf.)</p>
<p>Example</p>
- <p>The Combat Ratio between Lone Wolf and Winged Devil has been established as
-3. If the number taken from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> is a 6, then the result of the first round of combat is:</p>

<p>A search of the baskets crowding the little boat uncovers a beautifully hand-tooled leather case. You flick open the brass catch and discover that the case contains a Jakan<ch.emdash/>a hunting bow used by the coastal fishermen of Vassagonia. (You may record the Jakan Bow as a Weapon on your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>. You must possess an Arrow in order to use this Weapon.) You are elated by your find but disappointed to discover that the case contains only one Arrow.</p>

<p>Across the harbour square, close to Maouk<ch.apos/>s carriage, you notice a small, white-walled shop where a row of green glass flagons line a balcony on the first floor. You draw the bowstring to your lips and take careful aim; it is a difficult shot, and you have only one chance.</p>

<p>As you peer at the pages of Tipasa<ch.apos/>s diary, suddenly you realize that they are written in code. What Banedon had assumed to be positions of stars is a code to three numbers that give the precise location of the Tomb.</p>
<p>Consult the <a idref="map">map</a> to help you discover the location of the Tomb of the Majhan.</p>
<p>The first of the three numbers is equal to the number of oases on the trail between Ikaresh and Bir Rabalou. The second number is equal to the number of cities in Vassagonia. The third number is equal to the number of islands off the coast of Cape Kabar.</p>

<p>As you break cover, another burst of energy leaps from the Darklord<ch.apos/>s fist. It explodes into the base of the pillar, severing it from the floor, and the roof above caves in with a tremendous roar. The shock wave throws you to the floor, flattening you against the cold marble flagstones. You lose 3 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points.
