With a brave cry you launch yourself at the Elessi. He is surprised by your bold move and you are able to drag him to the ground. Amidst a tangle of thrashing limbs, you attempt to wrestle him into submission. As you are fighting without a weapon, you must deduct 8 points from your COMBAT SKILL total for the duration of the fight, unless you possess a Jewelled Dagger, in which case, deduct only 6 points from your COMBAT SKILL total.

Elessi Leader: COMBAT SKILL 12   ENDURANCE 25

If you are still fighting the Elessi after three rounds of combat but have the higher ENDURANCE total, and wish to cease fighting, turn to 99.

Otherwise, if you have already killed the Elessi after three rounds, or if you continue on and win the combat, turn to 107.
