| 20 The Berserker's attack is furious. Wielding its huge sword it strikes relentlessly, oblivious to its wounds and untiring in its assault. Slowly however, you wear down the ferocity of its attack. You match your skill and intelligence against its mindless aggression and slowly you prevail. Finally your sword pierces its tough skin, the blade disappearing to its hilt in the creature's corporeal body. Staggering backwards the creature screams an unholy wail and falls to the cold floor of the chamber. Within seconds it returns to vapour and is no more. Fatigue and relief wash over you as you squat limply in the centre of the room. You make a mental note to think twice before opening any more chests in this place. With the Berserker gone, and the Hresh dead only a short distance away you decide to move on. A quick look in the now unthreatening box reveals only a small book written in an ancient language unknown to you. You place it in your sack and move to the door in the eastern wall. A large metal rod holds the door secure from the inside but it takes only a moment to remove it and open the door.
| You have found an ancient spellbook known as the "Teth Ellandra". Although it is scribed in a language unknown to you it should fetch a decent price in the markets at Elvane. Record this on your character sheet and turn to section 100.
