You draw your weapon and strike out at the hellish worm-beast. It recoils from your blow and the tip of your blade misses its oozing skin by barely an inch. It spits again, and a gobbet of its corrosive saliva splashes your left arm. Within seconds, this corrosive fluid eats through the cloth of your tunic and sears your flesh: lose 3 ENDURANCE points.
Aided by your Magnakai Disciplines of Nexus and Curing, you bite back the pain and recover in time to launch a second attack upon this burrowing horror.
