Di conseguenza, non sommiamo il bonus di Weaponmastery (disciplina Magnakai) ai tiri di arco; ma quando (se) prenderemo Grand Weaponmastery, ci sommeremo il bonus relativo.

Così va benissimo ed era esattamente ciò che intendevo :)

Ora facciamo fuori questi due giannizzeri usando il Raggio Fotonic... ehm, Kai-Surge :D

Kai-surge! Diamo a questo miscredenti il potere della luce nei loro ani!

Outside, directly below, you see a Drakkarim lancer sitting astride a warhorse. His lance is sheathed in a tube-like scabbard fixed to the rear of his saddle and in his hand he holds aloft a heavy-bladed cavalry sabre. He is cheering those who are entering the tower and he is completely unaware that you are barely a few yards away.

Swiftly you climb onto the window ledge, draw your weapon, and then leap onto the unwary lancer below.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you possess Grand Huntmastery, add 3 to the number you have picked.

If your total score is now 4 or less, turn to 153.

If your total score is now 5 or more, turn to 28.

Roll...4!

Turn to 63.

Then the tip of your lance strikes his steel breastplate and you are forced back in your saddle with a jolt that leaves you breathless.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If your current ENDURANCE points score is 12 or higher, add 2 to the number you have picked.

If your total score is now 2 or less, turn to 82.

If it is 3 or higher, turn to 348.

Abbiamo +2 al Roll, quindi failiamo solo con 0 e 1...

Roll...7!

Moments later you reach the platform to see Captain Prarg struggling to break free from his gaolers. He succeeds and he comes running towards you. With a yell he leaps from the platform and lands astride the rump of your horse.

‘Go, Lone Wolf, go!’ he shouts, excitedly.

You dig your heels into the horse’s flanks and take off through the confused mass of Drakkarim towards an avenue on the north side of the square. Prarg’s hands are still tied behind his back and in order to stop himself from falling off the horse, he is forced to hang on to your cloak with his teeth.

You gallop out of the square and along the northern avenue which is flanked by barracks and hovels. Arrows come whistling from their windows but they are poorly aimed and fly wide of their mark. You glance over your shoulder and see that some Drakkarim horsemen are grouping up at the exit from the square in order to give chase. You urge the horse onwards, and as you speed towards a distant corner, you use your Magnakai skill of Nexus to loosen Prarg’s bonds. Minutes later you turn the corner and see the road which leads out of Shugkona. Your spirits rise, but they are quickly dashed when you see that your route of escape is blocked.

Turn to 22.

Prarg è sorprendentemente resistente alla Death Aura, per essere non-Banedon...

You slap your horse’s rump and gallop towards this shrinking gap, but three spear-wielding guards see you approaching, and they rush forward to challenge you with their weapons held ready to strike.

If you possess Kai-alchemy and wish to use it, turn to 332.

If you possess Kai-surge and have reached the rank of Kai Grand Guardian or higher, turn to 312.

If you possess neither of these skills or have yet to reach the required level of Kai Grand Mastership, turn instead to 289.

Their comrades flee the wagon and, without slowing, you gallop through the gap in the barricade with barely inches to spare and race along the road beyond. You have passed successfully through the inner defensive line, but as Prarg quickly points out, you have yet to reach the outer defences of Shugkona.

Turn to 31.

Aoe damage is the best damage :nod:

Quickly you steer your horse away from the road and set off across rough, snowy ground towards a distant line of trenches. Fortunately, the defences at the northern perimeter are much weaker than elsewhere. The trenches are empty, the guards having left earlier to watch Prarg’s execution in the main square. However, the rough terrain soon takes its toll upon your already tired horse. He is near to exhaustion, and as you approach the trenches, you fear he is not strong enough to make the jump.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you possess Animal Mastery, add 3 to the number you have picked. If you have reached the rank of Kai Grand Guardian or higher, add 1.

If your total score is now 3 or less, turn to 246.

If it is 4–7, turn to 87.

If it is 8 or higher, turn to 165.

Interessante...a quanto pare Animal Mastery ci consente di infilare i razzi nel culo del cavallo :D Purtroppo non abbiamo la sempre mitica disciplina di Horse Turbocharging, per cui rolliamo lisci solo con +1

Roll...7 de novo!

Turn to 230.

E ora via, verso il tramonto!

He utters not a word of complaint but you can sense that he is in great discomfort. Moreover, your horse, already tired from the exertions of the escape, is greatly weakened by the icy winds. Eventually it can carry you no further and you are forced to halt and dismount.

Your Kai senses warn you that enemy cavalry are in pursuit. You are a few miles ahead of them but their mounts are fresh and the distance between you is shrinking rapidly. You are about to suggest to Prarg that you abandon the horse altogether and seek shelter in the surrounding forest, when suddenly there is a lull in the storm and the falling snow thins out to reveal an unexpected sight.

Illustration XII—Below you the forest road descends to a stone bridge which crosses a frozen stream.

You have stopped near the crest of a hill. Below you the forest road descends to a stone bridge which crosses a frozen stream. A rough log cabin stands beside this bridge, and a thin trail of wood smoke rises from its crooked chimney indicating that it is occupied. At the rear you see stables and at once you sense the presence of horses.

If you wish to approach the cabin and attempt to take a fresh mount from the stables, turn to 52.

If you choose to abandon your exhausted horse and take to the forest on foot, turn to 319.

Ok, rubiamo un altro cavallo visto che il nostro si è rotto, o continuiamo a piedi :D?

Grand theft horse again! Rubiamo/lootiamo tutto il cazzo del tutto come se non ci fosse un domani!

Loot!

Mmhh rubare i cavalli nel Magnamund si è sempre rivelata un'azione assai perigliosa...

Io dico di andare per fratte a piedi, più lento ma più safe.

You motion to Prarg to take hold of the horse and keep lookout whilst you investigate the stables. Silently you slip alongside the cabin and pass beneath its solitary window.

If you wish to peek through the window, turn to 263.

If you choose to ignore the window and make your way directly to the stables, turn to 115.

Ok, ragazzi, che si fa :D?
