180

You bring down the Staff to deliver a death-blow but, as you do, Agarash shouts out. ‘No! This shall not be.’

You feel a wave of power emanate from the wall of fire and your Staff grows warm in your hands. Both your Staff and Shasarak’s explode into flame, to fall in ashes on the floor. Shasarak begins to crawl on his hands and knees towards the fiery wall, muttering in choked breaths. ‘You shall not have me. You shall not have me.’

He stands and reaches out his hands. ‘Agarash, our bargain!’ he screams. Agarash laughs once more. A plume of flame snakes out from the wall and wreathes itself around Shasarak.

If you wish to allow Shasarak to step through the flaming wall, turn to 350.

If you possess 3 WILLPOWER points, and wish to fill the Moonstone with your power and hurl its power against the wall, turn to 316.
