### 71

By the time you reach the ancient burial mound, Roark's follower is being drained of the last of his life-force by a host of hungry ghosts. Fear and premonition gnaw at your stomach when you sense that the evil spirits have detected your presence. They emit an unearthly shriek, and a terrible chill like a blast of icy cold wind washes over your body. You are gripped by an urge to run but they swoop down on you too quickly for you to be able to escape their clutches.

If you possess the Sommerswerd, turn to 133.

If you possess a Bullwhip, turn to 168.

If you possess neither of these Special Items, turn to 74.
