Thank you for your votes. Luck will not be used for the rest of the fight, as that is what the two votes called for.
The fight, continued:
[spoiler]Round 2: Prefecta Attack Strength: 16, Player Attack Strength: 19;
Prefecta Stamina: 6, Player Stamina: 5
Round 3: Prefecta Attack Strength: 18, Player Attack Strength: 17;
Prefecta Stamina: 6, Player Stamina: 3
Round 4: Prefecta Attack Strength: 13, Player Attack Strength: 15;

Round 8: Prefecta Attack Strength: 15, Player Attack Strength: 23;
Prefecta Stamina: 0, Player Stamina: 1[/spoiler]
Jang Mistral barely manages to kill the Prefecta, who gets him down to 1 Stamina before biting the dust. Talk about a close call.

Your victory is short-lived, as the treacherous Marsatu knocks you down with a short club. ‘Ha, ha!’ he scoffs. ‘You fight well for a “real”, but you’re so stupid!’ He blows into an enormous whistle-ring encircling one of his fingers, and three more Prefectas appear. ‘I have brought the spy along myself,’ he informs them. ‘Now, let’s go and see L’Bastin!’ The Prefectas seize you and take your weapons. Deduct 1 point from your SKILL. ‘Yes,’ they laugh. ‘Let’s visit L’Bastin.’ They touch the obelisk, which wobbles aside, and you are dragged below, through a maze of corridors and halls. In one room Marsatu waves his arms. ‘This was, until recently, the defence centre, crammed with complex computer systems. But my creator, L’Bastin the genius, decided that it would be safe to move the computers to another location. So you see, your mission was futile from the first!’ Turn to 75.

Eventually you enter a long, crystal chamber, at the end of which is a cylindrical tank, eight feet high and three feet wide, mounted on three rubber wheels. Curling from the tank’s base is an enormous ivory horn; pricking into its sides are half a dozen shiny metal quills. With creeping dread, you recognize the bizarre contraption: it is a Crump’s Posidon Tank, a diabolically efficient torture chamber manufactured by the Questions-and-Answers Division of the notorious family enterprise, Elmer Crump & Sons. Many varieties of posidon tank are in use throughout the multiverses, but the Mark IVP model, before you now, operates in the following fashion. The intended victim is bound and immersed upside down in the cylinder’s oily liquid. He is able to breathe, speak or scream only through a rubber mouthpiece and hose, leading into the ivory horn. Within the oil exist six tiny mechanical creatures: Crump’s patented tinselfish. Each tinselfish is controlled by one of the metal quills inserted into the tank’s side. When the quills are almost out, the fish are inactive, and swim lazily around their victim, only occasionally pausing for a nibble; but when the quills are pushed further in, they become furious, tearing mercilessly at their victim with sharp metal teeth. Will your mission end here? Will you be the tank’s next victim? These thoughts enter your mind as you are dragged down the hall towards it. You may wish to lash out at your captors and attempt a daring escape (turn to 159), or will you desist struggling and, hopefully, find the means to escape later on (turn to 322)?
Please vote before 9:00 AM PDT or a 3-vote majority is reached to guarantee that it will be counted.
