### 231

You reach up and grab one of the supporting beams, but your fingers slip on its dusty surface and you fall heavily on your back. Winded by the impact, you fail to scramble to your feet in time to avoid the onrushing leviathan. This gigantic beetle-creature slams you to the ground and flattens you beneath its vast bulk, yet amazingly you survive this collision—but not for very long. Trailing in the creature’s wake is a long line of wagons piled high with grey metallic ore. You are hit by several of these heavy iron carriages and killed.

Tragically, your life and your quest end here in the Mines of Zantaz.
