### 334

One of the bolts hits you in the back with such force that you are lifted off your feet. There is a fiery flash of pain, then a terrifying numbness engulfs your body. As you crash face first into the swirling foam, you realize to your horror that you cannot move any of your limbs. The bolt has severed your spine and, in the long minutes which follow, slowly you drown in the tide.

Tragically, your life and your quest end here on Battle Isle.
