73

The Inquisitor-major snatches up a hunting horn that hangs by a cord strung around his neck, and he blows into it with great force. The discordant note rises in pitch until it passes beyond the normal range of the human ear. Moments later, a terrific pain shoots through your head that makes you grasp your skull with both hands. You call upon your Magnakai Discipline of Psi-screen to counter the attack and it does so, successfully. But Karvas has no such protections and you sense that a psychic assault this powerful, and at such close quarters, could leave him either paralysed or dead within a matter of seconds.

If you possess Bardsmanship and have attained the rank of Kai Grand Sentinel, turn to 81.

If you possess Kai-surge and wish to use it, turn to 344.

If you do not possess these skills, or if you have yet to attain the required level of Kai Mastery, turn to 25.
