| 36 The Hresh has about 8 metres to run before it will be in a position to strike. Turning to the second door as a possible means of escape you place all your strength against it but it will not budge. Giving up you turn back to face the Hresh but you are too slow. The Mace comes crashing down upon your head and shoulders. Too late you try to fend off the blow but the strength of the creature is overwhelming. With a massive head wound you fall limply to the floor. The Hresh screams in triumph and you slip quickly into the cool numbness of approaching death. Here, outside the Custom's House of the Fortress Stoneholme your quest ends. Perhaps in another life the gods will provide you with greater success. __________________________________________________________ Home | ReadMe | Instructions | Inhabitants | Map of Northern Kalborea Quick Find Page| Email | Book Two - Earth and Stone
