Guided by your Kai instincts, you raise the Deathstaff and whirl it around your head—once, twice, three times … 

An ominous hum radiates from its haft. There is a crackle of static electricity and the damp air seethes with restrained, undischarged power. A thread of mist issues from the staff’s tip and builds rapidly into a spinning cyclone that ensnares the Vortexi and prevents them from reaching you. In desperation, you sense them pooling their immense psychic energies in an attempt to break out of this whirling prison and attack you.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table.

If you possess Kai-surge, add 4 to this number. If you possess Kai-screen, add 2. If you possess Assimilance, add 1.

Also, if your current ENDURANCE points total is 18 or more, add 1; if your current ENDURANCE points total is 17 or less, deduct 1.

If your total score is now 3 or less, turn to 206.

If it is 4–8, turn to 305.

If it is 9 or more, turn to 138.
