Itikar are wild and malicious creatures. It can take several years for a rider to tame and train one, but once trained, the giant black birds are fiercely loyal. As you approach, the Itikar senses that you are not his master and furiously attacks you with its deadly beak and talons.
Itikar: COMBAT SKILL 17 ENDURANCE 30
Fight the combat as normal, but double all ENDURANCE points lost by the giant bird. When its score falls to zero or below, you will have subdued it enough to be able to climb into the saddle and take control. All the ENDURANCE points you lose in the combat count as wounds and must be deducted from your current ENDURANCE points total.
If you successfully reduce the Itikar’s ENDURANCE points to zero or below, turn to 217.
