| 191 Windhammer! Despite the intense heat your blood chills as you watch the serpent climb ponderously out of the pit. Retreating to the darkness of the passageway you marvel at how large the Dragon has become. Centuries of solitude and the pampering of the covetous Horde has allowed the beast to grow to an immense size. In your wildest imaginings you never thought it could be this big. As the Dragon climbs completely out of the fiery pit the mirage-like distortion of rising heat cannot camouflage its bulk. Standing more than 30 metres high, it reaches at least 80 metres from snout to armoured tail. Slick and black in colour, its entire body is covered in thick scales that look as impenetrable as armour plate. Powerful legs and long muscled arms identify this serpent as a full grown El'Aldrian Rift Dragon, once common to the northern reaches of the Sanhar wastelands. Small atrophied wings sit innocuously atop its broad spiked back; its lifelong imprisonment within the cavern has left them wasted and useless. Talons as long and thick as your forearm complete a fearsome beast. You will only have one chance with this serpent. One strike from those claws will tear the life from you.
| Do you have the three talismans of power required to defeat the Dragon Windhammer? If you have the Dragonseye, the Dragonsclaw and Morgen's Spear turn to section 208. If you have none or only some of these items turn to section 165.
