### 328

Two zombies try to block your passage but you cleave them in half with one sweep of the Sommerswerd. You are at the foot of the tower and you can now see a hunchbacked man in crimson robes above you. He wears a tall, curved tokmor, a magician’s head-dress. It bears the emblem of a serpent. In his right hand is a black staff.

If you have ever been given a Crystal Star Pendant, turn immediately to 113.

If you have the Kai Discipline of Tracking, turn to 204.

If you wish to climb the tower and attack the hunchback, turn to 73.

If you wish to escape from this ship by jumping overboard, turn to 267.
