Your body has shielded Paido from the blast, and he has escaped serious injury. He tends your raw, blistered face and bandages your hands with strips of cloth torn from his undershirt. Your injuries are severe: they reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 5 points for the duration of this adventure and permanently reduce your score by 3 points in future adventures.

If you wish to continue along the causeway, turn to 216.

If you decide to turn back and take the west spur, turn to 105.
