Grey Star the Wizard: 107

107

Shan stands motionless, his body frozen with fear. With one hand he holds his sword shakily aloft, while he covers his eyes with the other, peeping through the gaps between his fingers as the Quoku rushes towards him.

At the cost of 2 WILLPOWER points¹⁶, you punch a flaming hole through one of the Quoku’s wings and it shrieks in pain. The injured beast is knocked awry; it veers sharply to the left and crashes to the ground.

If you wish to finish off the Quoku, turn to 307.

If you would prefer to make another run for it, turn to 182.

[16] If you do not have sufficient WILLPOWER points, you may choose to simply subtract the specified number of WILLPOWER points. This may leave you with a negative WILLPOWER score, or if it was already negative, it will make your score become even more negative. Alternatively, you may choose the method used in Section 175 of War of the Wizards for resolving this problem: For the WILLPOWER points you lack, you use ENDURANCE points at a rate of 2 ENDURANCE points for every 1 WILLPOWER point (i.e. 2 ENDURANCE points = 1 WILLPOWER point).
