### 17

When you wake, a chill fever grips your body; it is the touch of the Deathgaunt, spreading through your veins like a river of ice. You are too weak to travel any further today and your body is hungry for sleep.

If you possess the Magical Power of Alchemy and have some Azawood leaves in your Herb Pouch, turn to 299.

If not, turn to 265.
