<description class="blurb">
<p>The moment you draw the dagger from your belt, a blue flame courses the length of its twisted blade and the squealing flood of Crypt Spawn soar upward towards the roof in order to avoid you. They and their creator, Darklord Kraagensk<ch.ucirc/>l, recognize the power you wield and both are in awe and terror of it. Freed from the threat of his loathsome summonations, you now advance upon Kraagensk<ch.ucirc/>l with the dagger before you. He screams in anger and lunges at your head, his sword ablaze with tongues of black fire. You catch the blow on the tip of the dagger and both blades spark furiously as their terrible powers collide.<ch.ellips/></p>

- <p>(<a idref="sect75">Section 75</a>) <cite>Lone Wolf Club Newsletter</cite> clarifies: <quote>Although the Sommerswerd has been drawn and used within the Darklands, you were able to use it to destroy Kraagensk<ch.ucirc/>l before he could make use of the communicator to inform Gnaag of your presence. The port of Argazad is on the fringe of the Darklands and, because of its remote location, your unsheathing of the Sommerswerd did not directly alert Gnaag in Helgedad. The Sommerswerd combat with Kraagensk<ch.ucirc/>l was true to Rimoah<ch.apos/>s warning (<a idref="sect282">Section 282</a>); it did alert him to your presence and betrayed your true identity.</quote></p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect145">Section 145</a>)This loss of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> is permanent (cf. <bookref series="lw" book="07cd"><cite>Castle Death</cite></bookref> <bookref series="lw" book="07cd" section="sect129">Section 129</bookref>).</p>

- <p>(<a idref="sect162">Section 162</a>) Crowns or Lune may not be used in lieu of Kika in this instance.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect179">Section 179</a>) You may still risk taking the Black Cube if you wish.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect184">Section 184</a>) Crowns or Lune may not be used in lieu of Kika in this instance.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect187">Section 187</a>) The Zejar-dulaga occupies the same space in your Quiver as a normal Arrow. If you have 6 Arrows, you may discard one in favour of the Zejar-dulaga.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect200">Section 200</a>) If you only possess the Kai Discipline of Hunting<ch.emdash/>not Huntmastery<ch.emdash/>you may no longer hunt for food as you venture deeper into the Darklands.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect221">Section 221</a>) Crowns or Lune may not be used in lieu of Kika in this instance.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect268">Section 268</a>) It is possible that your permanent <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score might fall to zero or below due to the Sea-scavenger<ch.apos/>s attack, but you may be wearing a piece of armour that gives you an <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> point bonus. This would leave you with a permanent <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score of 0 with a current <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score still above zero.
