### 48

You have barely covered a hundred yards when a blood-curdling howl echoes along the passage behind. Spinning round, you see the outline of a gigantic black wolf loping towards you at a frightening pace. Its evil eyes flash in the dim light, and its great fanged jaws hang open in eager readiness to bite.

If you wish to stand and fight this ravenous monster, turn to 78.

If you wish to run from the monster as fast as you can, turn to 287.
