<p>The parapet of the barricade explodes as the icy bolt of energy slams into it with devastating effect. A section of timber penetrates your side and you are knocked to the ground by the force of the impact: lose 3 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points.</p>
<p>The War-thanes help you to get back on your feet, and defiantly you raise your Kai Weapon as the first wave of the Shom<ch.apos/>zaa horde reaches the barricade. The War-thanes fight with ruthless efficiency, felling ten of the enemy for every Drodarin who falls. But the horde are gripped by a battle-frenzy that drives them like demons, and you are hard-pressed to keep them from breaking through the barricade.</p>

<p>You draw upon your Magnakai Discipline of Psi-surge and launch a blast of psychic energy at the guards in an attempt to disrupt and confuse them. Then you leave the cover of the shadows and set off towards the archway at a run, building speed rapidly as you draw closer. You are within a dozen yards of your enemy when you unsheathe your Weapon and give vent to your battle-cry: <quote>For Sommerlund and the Kai!</quote></p>
