### 46

You sheathe your weapon and unshoulder your Bow as you run towards the stairs. Once there, you draw an Arrow and take aim at the advancing creature. It halts, snarling defiantly; then, to your utter amazement, its furry chest undergoes a rapid metamorphosis. What was fur only a few seconds ago is now a shiny steel-hard shell.

If you wish to aim your Arrow at the creature’s shell, turn to 11.

If you choose to aim at its head, turn to 345.

If you decide to abandon your shot altogether, you can shoulder your Bow by turning to 125.
