### 47

You dive and roll over several times to avoid the onrushing bolt of energy. The massive flame-ball passes over your back and explodes through the far wall of the chamber with devastating effect. It tears open a hole in the steel-hard crystal measuring more than ten feet in diameter, and it fills the air with razor-sharp shards. You are peppered in the back by these splinters: lose 3 ENDURANCE points.

As you stagger to your feet, you suddenly see an opportunity to seize the initiative and carry the attack to the Deathlord.

Turn to 12.
