The Ligan draws level with your hiding place and then halts. Suddenly a tingling sensation ripples your scalp, as a wave of psychic energy washes over your mind. The Ligan turns his head and holds you with his cruel gaze, probing your thoughts. He finds what he is looking for: you are an impostor. He gives a high-pitched shriek and snatches a dagger from his belt as he hurls himself maniacally upon you.
