| 119 For a moment you ponder the magical weapon's question. You are reasonably sure as to what the great axe's purpose is and with confidence reply, "With a weapon such as you I must disable the Dragon known as Windhammer". Silently the axe stands, the epic battle of men against serpents disappears and the room is again quiet. Wondering what it is you have said wrong you wait, fully expecting some retaliation for your error. Against your face a faint breeze begins to rise. Then slowly but with building strength the snow and ice that lay about the room swirls and eddies, until the room disappears in the bluster and gale of another snowstorm. Forced back by the now shrieking gale you can only stand against the wall, held fast and unable to move. Within the centre of the swirling blizzard the aura bursts out from the Dragonsclaw, growing brighter as the weapon moves backwards and forwards on its haft trying to break free from some unseen fastening. For a moment it falters but then lifts from the pillar and slowly floats towards you. Hesitantly you grasp the handle, feeling its fine balance and smooth craftmanship. As your hand closes around the haft all movement in the room ceases, the snow settles and again all is quiet. Placing the Dragonsclaw in your belt you turn for the door and are confronted by a chilling sight. Behind the door, frozen and unmoving, a great Hresh stands, its spiked mace raised as if to strike whoever might walk through the door. As you make your way back into the passage you wonder whether the mace was meant for you.
