| 231 Looking at the shafts of light before you it is hard to believe they can be a danger. After adjusting your equipment you start forward and place your foot on the step. The instant your boot strikes the thin blue beam your foot erupts in incandescent fire. Quickly the flame spreads up the cloth of your pants and then to your tunic where it takes a vicious hold. Your attempts to put it out are futile, the blue conflagration attacks you as if it has a will of its own. Within five heartbeats you are totally consumed by the magical flame, only your dry skeletal remains left to tumble chaotically down the steep steps behind you. Here your journey ends but despair not, success may still be yours in a latter life. __________________________________________________________ Home | ReadMe | Instructions | Inhabitants | Map of Northern Kalborea Quick Find Page| Email | Book Two - Earth and Stone
