<p>You summon and focus your psychic powers and then launch a powerful burst of mental energy at the serpent<ch.apos/>s mind. To your shocked surprise, you suddenly detect that this creature has no susceptibility to psychic attacks, and your burst of Kai-surge strikes its mind without effect (lose 1 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> point).</p>
<p>Unaware of your mental attack, the giant snake lunges forward and attempts to stab you with its venomous fangs. You dodge aside to avoid being impaled upon them, and as the snake withdraws its head in readiness for a second strike, you land a might blow to its neck. The creature hisses angrily. You have opened a deep wound but it has not incapacitated the creature. Once more it opens its terrifying jaws and prepares to stab at your chest. You must fight it.</p>

<p>You utter the words of the Old Kingdom Spell <spell>Shield</spell> and draw a circle in the air with the palm of your hand. The giant snake lunges forward and attempts to stab you with its venomous fangs, but it slams against your invisible shield and recoils with a bloodied nose. The creature hisses angrily. You have thwarted its first attack but your shield is beginning to fade. As the remnants of the spell disappear, the creature opens its terrifying jaws and prepares to strike again.</p>

<p>The second serpent rears out of the water and lunges forward in an attempt to stab you with its venomous fangs. You dodge aside to avoid being gouged and then strike a mighty blow to its neck, just as the creature withdraws its head in readiness for a second attack. The great snake hisses angrily. You have opened a deep wound, but it has not incapacitated the creature. Once more it stretches its terrifying jaws and prepares to lunge at your chest.</p>
