### 107

A gurgling scream echoes from the alleyway—your Arrow has found its mark. Seconds later the Giak staggers into view, its arms thrashing wildly as it tries to grab hold of the shaft buried deep in the middle of its back. In desperation, it draws a dagger from its boot and attempts to throw it at you, but a wave of pain engulfs the creature at that moment and the vicious blade slips harmlessly from its grasp. With one last curse it swoons and drops lifelessly to the ground.

If you wish to search the bodies of the slain Giaks, turn to 172.

If you wish to leave and follow the track that leads out of the village, turn to 63.
