You draw your Kai Weapon and brace yourself to take a swipe at this fearsome creature. The beast slams its fists together, and suddenly a ball of white-hot plasma surges towards your chest. You feel its searing heat upon your face as you lash out and strike it aside with the flat of your Kai blade.

Angered by your survival, the creature quickens its pace and comes lumbering towards you with both its arms raised. Fearful that you may not be able to deflect an attack at closer range, you retreat from the tomb and run across the chamber to the alcove. Quickly you pull the lever and a secret panel in the wall slides open to reveal a narrow passage beyond. Taking hold of the stonework which frames the panel, you pull yourself towards the narrow gap.

You are only halfway through the opening when two orbs of living flame leap from the creature’s glowing fists and come arcing towards your spine.
