As the creature draws nearer, hurriedly you scratch a pentacle into the dusty ground with the tip of your Staff. The shining being is a Deathgaunt, an undead spirit raised by Shasarak to roam the realm of the living. As you begin to chant the warding words of Evocation, the creature hesitates, then stops, hanging as if suspended just above the ground. The use of this Magical Power has cost you 3 WILLPOWER points.

Turn to 72.
