A hand grabs your shoulder. You swing your weapon in front of your body. "Relax, my friend," Roderick says, "your blindness is temporary. We shall rest here until the spell loses its power." Roderick guides you to a resting place, then continues, "We have defeated the evil cleric and his assistant, but the cost was dear. Teromil fell in the battle, and I could do nothing to save him. May he find much peace in the next world."

You rest for several minutes, your eyes squeezed shut to close out the painful light. While you rest, Roderick and Salamdros search the room. From their conversation, you know they have found your clothes and equipment.

Finally, you open your eyes and see most of your equipment lying on the table. Roderick motions to your weapons, armor, and thief's tools, "I believe these are yours. Take them, and let us leave this place before we are discovered."

Roderick carries his heavy mace, and a decorated sword hangs from the belt of Salamdros. Both wear chainmail. As soon as you are ready, Salamdros says, "We must go." Go to page 106.
