As you bend down and examine the statue, you give an involuntary shudder. The statue emanates a potent evil; it is the source of a terrible demonic power. Suddenly a voice echoes in your mind: Stop!

You spin round to see a tall man with golden hair standing at the far end of the hall. He is robed in white and carries a jewelled crozier. Behind him crowd a group of Elessin guards. The man is speaking to you telepathically. The language of the mind is universal and you are able to understand him clearly. He orders you to remain exactly where you are.

If you wish to do as he says, turn to 316.

If you wish to take the Threnogem from the statue’s mouth, turn to 71.

If you wish to attack the tall, golden-haired man at long range with your Wizard’s Staff and have more than 5 WILLPOWER points, turn to 334.
