### 347

You draw Skarn-Ska from its Korlinium Scabbard and sense at once that its mere physical presence within this throne hall is causing the Künae a great deal of discomfort. You detect a surge of anxiety in the mental communication passing between them. The creature seated upon the left throne becomes agitated and begins to flail the foul air with its snaky limbs. Then it utters a sinister command to its partner and you hear the words echo in your mind: Slay him, Jantoor!

The creature seated upon the right throne responds immediately. It raises its right limb and a gout of fire shoots from the palm of its leprous hand and comes speeding towards your chest.

If you wish to attempt to dodge this gout of fire, turn to 130.

If instead you wish to try to deflect it with the blade of your sword, turn to 319.
