### 269

You can see the dim outline of an eyeless, tormented face. The shimmering, silvery creature is a Deathgaunt, an undead spirit freed by Shasarak, the Wytch-king, to roam the world of the living.

You attempt to cast the illusion of a warrior moving to attack it but the Deathgaunt is not fooled. It passes through the illusion and dispels it. The use of this Magical Power has cost you 2 WILLPOWER points.

Turn to 169.
