### 60

You have taken less than a dozen steps when a brilliant crackle of blue energy arcs between the two staves. You see the white statue beginning to move as if activated by the surge of power.

If you wish to attack the creature before it rises from the altar, turn to 150.

If you wish to remain perfectly still and prepare for combat, turn to 31.

If you wish to run for the darkened archway beyond, turn to 306.
