You draw an Arrow and take aim at a Giak’s chest. He opens his yellow-fanged mouth to shriek for mercy, but his cry is cut short as your feathered shaft pierces his heart. The other Giak rolls away from the body of his partner and scrambles to his feet, desperate to escape a similar fate. ‘Aki-amaz!’ he whimpers, hysterically, as he scurries towards the shadows of an alley.

If you possess at least one more Arrow and wish to fire your Bow again, turn to 229.

If you decide to let the Giak escape, turn to 57.
