Wolf’s Bane staggers backwards, clutching at his wounds with his free hand. You move forward, eager to finish him, but he parries your lunge and then, with a look of utter desperation in his soulless eyes, he glances up at the ceiling and shouts:

‘Take him, Doom-blight! Take him now!’

Your blood freezes when you see a great gull-winged horror emerge from a hidden perch among the hall’s shadowy rafters. It plunges towards you, a fiery sword held at arm’s length ready to be driven through your heart.

If you have ever encountered the Demoness Shamath in a previous Lone Wolf adventure, turn to 263.

If you have never encountered this creature, turn to 74.
