The Cow King slowly made progress through the bone prisons toward me, and as I backed up, I started getting nervous. I had never traveled very far in the right-hand direction, so I didn't know how far I could go without waking up new packs of cows.

So I circled around through the corral to position myself to shoot at the Cow King from the other direction.

As I quaffed my last mana potion, I saw that the King's life bar was really low. Which would last longer: My mana ball or the Cow King's life?

My mana ball ran out first, but I decided I'd rather use my full rejuv's than risk having the King heal while I was in town buying potions. I quaffed a rejuv potion, and the King fell soon after. Sadly, all the items turned out to be junky.
