### 229

The Kraan hovers above you, raising dust with the beat of its huge black wings. The dust gets into your eyes and nose, and you start to cough. Now the beast attacks.

You must fight it to the death. Because of the dust, you must reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 1 point.

Kraan: COMBAT SKILL 16 ENDURANCE 25

If you win you have a choice.

Will you search the body by turning to 267?

Or will you continue along the east path by turning to 125?
