The wizard heeds your cry and spins around just in time to loose a searing bolt of energy at the Giak. The creature’s head disintegrates in flames and its twitching body falls in a heap at the foot of the pillar.

The young wizard wipes his brow, and walks towards you, his hand extended in gratitude and friendship.
