You release the arrow, but it narrowly misses its target and clatters harmlessly against the chapel wall. The creature is now upon you, and there is no time to draw another weapon.

Yawshath: COMBAT SKILL 22 ENDURANCE 38

You must fight the first round of combat with your bare hands (deduct 4 points from your COMBAT SKILL for this round only). At the start of the second round, you may draw a weapon (if you have one), and fight the creature normally. If you survive 4 rounds of combat, you can evade the Yawshath by escaping through the archway by which you entered the chapel.

If you survive 4 rounds of combat and wish to evade, turn to 305.

If you win the combat, turn to 112.
