Cursing your luck you unsheathe your weapon as the creature rears up to attack.

Turn to 265.

When thrown against a hard surface, these Fireseeds explode and burn fiercely.

Paido falls, clutching an arm deeply torn by needle-sharp talons. His attacker turns on you, darting its head towards your throat with lightning speed. Its jaws gape wide as it lashes out with a sticky tongue, spraying your eyes with stinging saliva. Instinctively you bend forward, your hands wiping the spittle from your face, a reflex action which saves you from the creature’s grip as it leaps forward to strangle you. Suddenly it lets out a gurgling croak and falls forward with a thick splash. You stagger back and open your bloodshot eyes to see it lying face down in the mire with Paido’s dagger embedded in its back. ‘Look out!’ screams your companion, as the last of the Xlorg attacks you from behind.

Xlorg: COMBAT SKILL 23 ENDURANCE 32

Unless you possess the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery, reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 4 points for the duration of the combat.

If you win the fight, turn to 160.

Ehy, Paido è marginalmente utile! Comunque sia c'è un ultimo Minchiosauro da smazzare...

COMBAT RATING: +7 grazie ad Huntmastery!

Roll...1 :(

Rospo-Ceppa -7 (25)

Roll...2 :( ho parlato troppo presto cazzo
Lupo Solitario -3 (30)
Rospo-Ceppa -8 (17)

Roll...1 :( cioè...
Lupo Solitario -4 (26)
Rospo-Ceppa -7 (10)

Roll...4 <.<
Lupo Solitario -2 (24)
Rospo-Ceppa -10 (morto!)

E' colpa di Paido che si è mostrato vagamente utile e a fratelli del Klan non è andata giu -.- Se non avessimo avuto Huntmastery sarebbe andata parecchio a schifio...

You leave the pool and press on along the muddy trail, glancing back once. No sign remains of the dead Xlorg; their bodies have already been claimed by the creatures of the pool.

Turn to 192.

Che evidentemente sono molto golose di Ranacazza Gigante :sara:

You tend to Paido’s wound, using your basic Kai knowledge of healing to prevent an infection from taking hold, before continuing deeper into the swamp. The ankle-deep ooze that borders the pool gives way to firmer ground, and you arrive shortly at a place where a tree bearing blood-red fruit overhangs a pool of clear water. You stop here to rest and dislodge the tiny leeches that are feasting on your legs.

Paido climbs the tree to scan the horizon. He carries with him a starguider, a homing device invented by the Elder Magi to enable their flying ships to navigate in the dark. It is sensitive to the vibrations of korlinium crystals. The spire of the Temple of Ohrido is solid korlinium, and the Elder Magi have set Paido’s starguider to home in on the vibrations emitted by the spire. By following the direction of these vibrations, you should find the lost temple.

While Paido is busy adjusting the starguider, you decide to take a closer look at your surroundings.

If you wish to examine the red fruit, turn to 301.

If you wish to examine the clear pool, turn to 2.

If you decide to sit and wait for Paido to finish taking his readings, turn to 177.

Mentre Paido cerca di giustificare la sua presenza, noi che facciamo :D?

‘There is no signal,’ he replies. ‘I have scanned every direction with the starguider, but it can detect no korlinium signal. It isn’t damaged, of that I’m sure. It’s simply as if the temple has disappeared.’

You take the device from Paido’s hand and climb the twisted tree trunk. He shouts instructions and you set the starguider into operation, scanning the distant horizon and waiting for the tell-tale click that will reveal the direction of the lost temple of the Elder Magi. But Paido is right—there is no signal; and without a signal there is no hope of finding the Lorestone of Ohrido.

You are about to abandon the search and jump down from the tree when you see something on the northern horizon that you hadn’t noticed before. An island of red volcanic rock rises out of the mire, one of four flat-topped islands grouped in a diamond close to the eastern edge of the crater. Perhaps the temple is on the other side of that island. Perhaps that is why the starguider will emit no signal?

You climb down and ask Paido what he thinks. He stares to the north and ponders the problem. ‘Yes, it is possible,’ he says thoughtfully, ‘it is just possible.’

Turn to 292.

Ok, quindi l'unica ragione per cui Paido è qua (oltre che forse per ucciderci in ritorsione per suo fratello) è utilizzare sto congegno, e il congegno non funge :nod: Speriamo sia colpa delle rocce va :D

For the most part the swamp mire is firm underfoot and the inhabitants pose no problems that cannot be solved by a few shouts or well-placed weapon blows. But, as the sky darkens and you draw nearer to the plateau, the going becomes more difficult. A carpet of vines, thick with mould, covers a surface of muddy holes and hollows. Often a seeming puddle proves to be a bottomless fissure. Progress becomes so slow that you fear you will never reach the island before dark.

Turn to 307.

Awesome jaws set with double-tiered fangs tower above you, glistening in the fading light. A drop of venom falls from the fangs and sets the quagmire boiling.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Invisibility, add 3 to the number you have picked.

Ok, ovviamente funziona per noi ma non per Paido :pokerfacen:

Però abbiamo Invisibility, quindi +3 al Roll: ci serve 4+!

Relentlessly you push your way through the soggy vegetation until you reach the jagged rock wall of the island, urged on all the way by a hissing chorus of swamp creatures.

After the uncertain ground of the swamp, the hard, jagged rock is a welcome relief. You make good progress, reaching the top just as the sun is sinking into a sea of scarlet mist that shrouds the eastern Danarg. In the failing light, you discover a trail that winds northwards through the knee-high foliage.

Pathmanship è veramente il Sesto Senso della serie Magnakai :D

The tracks were made by man-sized creatures, bare-footed and web-toed. Close to the main trail winds another, less obvious, track. For some reason someone or something has gone to great lengths to keep this trail secret.

If you wish to follow the well-trodden trail, turn to 335.
