The statue rises slowly from the altar and advances towards you. As it comes closer, you feel an intense chill radiating from its smooth, stony skin. However, its movements are stiff and uncertain--you could easily dodge its outstretched arms.

If you wish to attack this strange statue, turn to 150.

If you wish to dodge past it and run towards the archway beyond, turn to 306.
