Cowering with fear, you step back, flinching at the sight of the sinister spectre. Silently, it reaches out a transparent hand and touches your forehead. The cold of the Deathgaunt's touch freezes your very soul. You fall to the ground, plunging into the dark well of unconsciousness. You have lost 4 ENDURANCE points.

If your current ENDURANCE total is now 10 or higher, turn to 66.

If your current ENDURANCE total is now 9 or lower, turn to 202.
