Another crack cuts the air, and you flinch as the invisible whip draws a crimson line across your thigh (lose 2 ENDURANCE points). You strain your Kai senses trying to discover the location of your enemy, but the magic that shields him is very strong.

Unless you have the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery, reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 2 points for the duration of the fight. If you possess a Blanket, a Red Robe, or a Towel, you may wrap it around your arm as extra protection from the blows of your enemy (it will increase your COMBAT SKILL by 1 point).

Invisible Whipmaster: COMBAT SKILL 24   ENDURANCE 26
