The instant you unsheathe the Sommerswerd, its golden light floods the chamber, countering the heavy aura of evil which permeates its every corner. The goodly presence of your divine sword causes the insectoids to shy away fearfully. You sense that they are repelled by its power which is leeching their strength.

Gradually, their insect-like forms dissolve back into wispy trails of black smoke which swirl once around the chamber before evaporating into the porous stone framing the Shadow Gate. You are relieved to see the back of these hideous creatures, but your comfort is all too short-lived; no sooner have they vanished than a new horror appears in the chamber, rising up out of the stone floor.

If you have ever been to the Isle of Ghosts in a previous Lone Wolf adventure, turn to 311.

If you have not, turn to 80.
