### 328

Your attempt at opening the lock using only the power of your mind proves to be a fatal mistake.

Inadvertently, you set off an alarm which in turn activates a powerful necromantic spell of protection. You see a flash of white light as, in an instant, a surge of radiant energy comes shooting from the hole to hit you squarely in the face. Pain engulfs your mind, to be followed by an explosion of white-hot fire which obliterates your senses. In a terrifying instant, the light that is your life is snuffed out.

Tragically, you have fallen victim to one of the Deathlord’s spells. Your life and your quest end here in the Crystal Spire.
