The creature falls dead. You turn in time to see the second beast claw Salamdros twice. The elf slides down the hole and the foul creature looks down after him. A bright light suddenly engulfs its head. The reptile-man screams in great pain and stumbles back blindly. You slay it with no difficulty. When you have finished Roderick climbs through the hole in the floor.

"Salamdros has departed for the land beyond," he says sadly. "I did all I could to save him." He raises his hand. You see that he holds a scrap of paper in it. "But I did avenge him, even if it cost me a scroll of light."

After gathering your belongings, you may leave by the only exit in this chamber. Go to page 180.
