<p>If you are wounded in combat you will lose <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points.

<p>During your training as a Kai Lord, and in the course of the adventures that led to the discovery of <cite>The Book of the Magnakai</cite>, you have mastered all ten of the basic warrior skills known as the Kai Disciplines.</p>
<p>After studying <cite>The Book of the Magnakai</cite>, you have also reached the rank of Kai Master Superior, which means that you have learnt <em>three</em> of the Magnakai Disciplines listed below. It is up to you to choose which three skills these are. As all of the Magnakai Disciplines will be of use to you at some point on your adventure, pick your three with care. The correct use of a Magnakai Discipline at the right time can save your life.</p>
- <p>The Magnakai skills are divided into groups, each of which is governed by a separate school of training. These groups are called <quote>Lore-circles</quote>. By mastering all of the Magnakai Disciplines in a particular Lore-circle, you can gain an increase in your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> and <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points score. (See <quote><a idref="lorecrcl">Lore-circles of the Magnakai</a></quote> for details of these bonuses.)</p>

However, a Bow cannot be used in hand-to-hand combat; therefore it is strongly recommended that you also equip yourself with a close combat weapon, like a Sword or Mace.</p>

You ride across the rolling valley floor towards the River Phoen until the track stops at a ramshackle house perched precariously on the river bank.

- <p>(<a idref="sect1">Section 1</a>) Many sections in the book assume that you haven<ch.apos/>t discarded the Pass. It is advisable that you don't discard it during this adventure.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect13">Section 13</a>) Note that in this combat, you are meant to go to <a idref="sect158">Section 158</a> immediately when the fight reaches the specified number of rounds: do not finish the combat first.</p>
- <p>The original text reads <quote>If the combat lasts more than five rounds<ch.ellips/></quote> This would leave you no option if the fight lasts exactly five rounds. We reasoned that the most likely interpretation is that the author intended the second choice to be taken if the combat last five rounds or more. However, it is also possible that he intended for it to read "If you win the combat in five rounds or less<ch.ellips/> If the combat lasts more than five rounds," in which case would you get one more round to fight before going to <a idref="sect158">Section 158</a>.</p>
- <p>This section is very problematic for a player just starting their adventures from this book. It is actually impossible to kill both Vordaks in time if your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> is too low. According to a strict interpretation of the text, this combat must be won in four rounds or less. To find the probability of success in this combat, we counted the number of four digit combinations of numbers picked from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> that kill both Vordaks, divided by 10,000 (the total number of four digit possibilities). For example, a 0.03<ch.percent/> chance of success for an initial <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> of 14, reflects that only 3 combinations of random number picks (in this case, 0-0-0-0, 0-0-0-9, and 0-0-9-0) out of a possible 10,000 are capable of defeating both Vordaks in time. <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points are a non-issue in this case since no combination which destroys both creatures in time will also deduct 20 or more <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points from Lone Wolf. All of the probabilities given assume that Lone Wolf has chosen Disciplines most advantageous to his <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> for this battle<ch.emdash/>Weaponmastery with an appropriate Weapon in his possession, Psi-surge, and Psi-screen<ch.emdash/>as well as saved the one potion of Alether found in this adventure for this battle, for a total of 9 points above the initial <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> score.</p>

- <p>A player starting from this adventure with 10-13 as her or his initial <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> cannot survive this battle and thus cannot complete the adventure. New players with a higher initial <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> still have a slim chance of completing this adventure.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect28">Section 28</a>) The original text didn<ch.apos/>t allow for any bonuses to be added to the randomly picked number. We switched the choices to allow for this. If you<ch.apos/>d rather play without bonuses, <a idref="sect125">go to 125</a> if you pick 0<ch.endash/>4 and <a idref="sect38">go to 38</a> otherwise.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect30">Section 30</a>) It seems peculiar that you are instructed to reduce <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> at the beginning of every round if you do not have Psi-screen. This loss would be cumulative so that during the first round you fight with 2 fewer <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> points, the second round with 4 fewer points, the third with 6 fewer, etc. This loss is certainly intended to be for the duration of this Combat only<ch.emdash/>not permanently<ch.emdash/>since Joe Dever always makes special note of instances where you permanently lose <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>. It is possible that this penalty is an error, and that you are meant to lose 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points rather than <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> points at the beginning of every round.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect42">Section 42</a>) If you are infected with the korovax bacillus, you may now use the Tincture of Oxydine to cure yourself.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect47">Section 47</a>) It seems peculiar that you are instructed to reduce <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> at the beginning of every round if you do not have Psi-screen. This loss would be cumulative so that during the first round you fight with 2 fewer <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> points, the second round with 4 fewer points, the third with 6 fewer, etc. This loss is certainly intended to be for the duration of this Combat only<ch.emdash/>not permanently<ch.emdash/>since Joe Dever always makes special note of instances where you permanently lose <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>. It is possible that this penalty is an error, and that you are meant to lose 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points rather than <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> points at the beginning of every round.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect60">Section 60</a>) You should also turn to this number if you possess a magical weapon such as the Dagger of Vashna, the Jewelled Mace, or the Magic Spear. (See <bookref series="lw" book="14tcok"><cite>The Captives of Kaag</cite></bookref> <bookref series="lw" book="14tcok" section="sect12">Section 12</bookref>.)</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect76">Section 76</a>) <a idref="sect221">Section 221</a> gives you further information about these monks. It is most likely the author<ch.apos/>s mistake that you miss this information in lieu of the discovery you make by using Divination in this section. At your discretion <a idref="sect221">go to 221</a> before making your choice in this section.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect86">Section 86</a>) It seems unreasonable to lose zero <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points after getting hit by a sword. You may choose to interpret picking <quote>0</quote> as indicating a 10 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> point loss. Other adventures sometimes instruct you to interpret a <quote>0</quote> this way in similar situations.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect112">Section 112</a>) If you decide to make a guess, the section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect126">Section 126</a>) If you decide to make a guess, the section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect141">Section 141</a>) If you decide to make a guess, the section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect156">Section 156</a>) If you possess either herb, you may now use it to cure the korovax infection.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect169">Section 169</a>) <cite>Lone Wolf Club Newsletter Summer Special 1987</cite> clarifies: <quote>If you win the combat against the Vordak you are able to retrieve the Weapon and keep it noted on your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>.</quote></p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect183">Section 183</a>) It seems peculiar that you are instructed to reduce <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> at the beginning of every round if you do not have Psi-screen. This loss would be cumulative so that during the first round you fight with 2 fewer <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> points, the second round with 4 fewer points, the third with 6 fewer, etc. This loss is certainly intended to be for the duration of this Combat only<ch.emdash/>not permanently<ch.emdash/>since Joe Dever always makes special note of instances where you permanently lose <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>. It is possible that this penalty is an error, and that you are meant to lose 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points rather than <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> points at the beginning of every round.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect202">Section 202</a>) Don<ch.apos/>t discard the Lodestone during this adventure unless you are forced to do so or given an explicit opportunity. Some passages in the book assume you you still possess it.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect308">Section 308</a>) It seems peculiar that you are instructed to reduce <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> at the beginning of every round if you do not have Psi-screen. This loss would be cumulative so that during the first round you fight with 2 fewer <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> points, the second round with 4 fewer points, the third with 6 fewer, etc. This loss is certainly intended to be for the duration of this Combat only<ch.emdash/>not permanently<ch.emdash/>since Joe Dever always makes special note of instances where you permanently lose <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>. It is possible that this penalty is an error, and that you are meant to lose 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points rather than <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> points at the beginning of every round. Replaced <quote>Lone Wolf series</quote> with <quote> <cite>Lone Wolf</cite> series</quote>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect308">Section 308</a>) You should not double any <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> point losses inflicted upon the Helghast if you are wielding the Dagger of Vashna, the Jewelled Mace, or the Magic Spear.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect338">Section 338</a>) If you decide to make a guess, the section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
