Your killing blow knocks the ghoul out of the hollow, sending it tumbling into the lake. More of the corpse-like creatures can be seen creeping along the shore, and the sound of their snuffling whispers and curses makes your blood run cold. They move with unnatural speed, eager to feast on your flesh.

If you have a Bow and wish to use it, turn to 22.

If you wish to evade the ghouls by leaving the hollow and climbing the steps, turn to 104.

If you wish to draw a hand weapon and prepare to fight them, turn to 254.
