### 207

You can see the shadowy outline of the hideous creature as it charges towards you along the tunnel. It is blind with rage and hungry for blood. You suddenly realize that if you dive aside as the creature leaps from the tunnel, it may just miss you and plunge headlong on to the thin ice of the lake.

If you wish to try to dive aside when the Kalkoth charges from out of the tunnel, turn to 80.

If you wish to stand and fight it when it appears, turn to 253.
