Given the texts of sections 204 and 318 turning to those sections is 
indeed (kind of) mandatory. In the German edition the choice "If you 
wish to leave the tent [...]" is the first choice. I'm not sure whether 
this is supposed to indicate that the other two choices are not 
mandatory. Then, on the other hand, Lone Wolf probably wouldn't attack a 
beast if he knew how to drive it away without harming it. *shrug*

I'd be okay with rephrasing the third choice as "Otherwise you leave the 
tent and attack the Baknar. Turn to 78."
