| 17 No sooner do you turn the corner of the passage when the first door opens wide and out steps a Hresh, his body covered in ash and soot, his arms loaded with charcoal. His surprise is as great as your own, and you both stand dumbly for a moment before the creature lets out a great shout and disappears in a cloud of charcoal. When the black ash and dust clears the Hresh has drawn a short sword from its belt. By his side is the Mutan guard, his spear levelled at your throat and a menacing look upon its alien face.
| You must fight both the Hresh and Mutan guard at the same time. The combined combat value of your adversaries is 34, their endurance rating is 20. Fight them as if they were one creature. If you are victorious turn to section 175. If you die in the course of this battle then it is here that your quest ends. With better luck you may succeed in a latter life.
