As you strike the Kwaraz a killing blow, three Sharnazim wade out of the dark sewer. They have discarded their black robes and they are naked to the waist. Their muscular chests are decorated with a large, blue tattoo of an eagle's claw. As they struggle out of the water, they fix you with a malicious stare and unsheathe razor-sharp scimitars.

If you wish to attack the Sharnazim, turn to 60.

If you wish to evade them by climbing the narrow stone stairs, turn to 43.
