A surge of scarlet energy leaps from the orb and rips into your arm, hurling you backwards onto the ground (lose 5 ENDURANCE points). The Zakhan laughs mockingly as he raises the orb once more, this time to finish you for good. You are aware of the Zakhan’s troops fighting a desperate battle at the West Gate, and you know you must defeat him or else the city will be lost.

If you possess a Psychic Ring, turn to 188.
