| 5 The fight with the Hresh is short and bloody. The creature's wounds and the slick greasy surface of the Kitchen's floor allow a quick end to the combat. With its body sprawled on the dirty marble tiles you turn and retrieve the leg of meat. For a moment you stop and listen for the sounds of any approaching danger but hear nothing except the now subdued crackling of the Mess Hall fire. You decide it will be prudent to sit for a short while in the shadows of the Kitchen and rest. Looking more closely at the meat you see it is fresh and well cooked, and it is not hard to succumb to the temptation of eating it straight away. It tastes good and you finish it feeling much better. (Restore 2 extra points to your endurance rating. Remember you cannot exceed your maximum endurance rating though). After cleaning your hands on a small piece of cloth you pull yourself to your feet and carefully make your way back into the chaos of the main Mess Hall. It is time to move on.
