### 201

Suddenly, you catch sight of two warriors creeping towards you from a passage to your right. They are clad in jet-black armour and scarlet robes, and their hideous death-masks identify them as Drakkar warriors. They are men, but they are evil men, as evil as the Darklords whom they serve.

One of them holds a razor-fanged Akataz, a creeping leathery war-dog, straining on a chain leash. The Drakkar hisses and the Akataz springs towards your throat.

If you wish to fight this creature, turn to 273.

If you wish to try to evade the attack and escape, turn to 285.
