Yawshath: COMBAT SKILL 22 ENDURANCE 32

Because the creature is now lying face down, do not deduct any ENDURANCE points you may lose in the first two rounds of combat.

You may evade combat at any time by escaping through the arch by which you entered the chapel.

If you wish to evade combat, turn to 305.

If you win the combat, turn to 112.
