### 319

Suddenly a chilling scream, like the baying of a crazed wolf pack, echoes from the trees on either side of the bridge, and lumbering hordes of twisted shapes stagger from the shadows. They appear to be neither animal nor human but a ghastly fusion of the two. The Ookor guards tremble with fear and whisper the word 'Agtah' as the monstrosities hurl themselves at the chariots. A dog-headed creature with two mouths claws its way on to the platform and launches itself at your unprotected legs.

Agtah: COMBAT SKILL 21 ENDURANCE 31

The creature is immune to Mindblast (but not Psi-surge). Owing to the speed of its attack, reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 3 points for the first two rounds of combat (unless you possess the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery).

If you win the combat, turn to 201.
