	Swiftly you recite the words of the Old Kingdom spell 
Š	- ιInvisible Shieldι - and immediately a transparent 
Š	disc of magical protection forms in front of your 
Š	eyes. Moments later, Svolta's arrow strikes this 
Š	sorcerous shield and shatters to pieces. The slaver 
Š	and his archer cannot believe what they have seen and 
Š	for a few vital seconds they stand frozen in stunned 
Š	disbelief. You seize this advantage and rush towards 
Š	the platform with the hope of catching them before 
Š	they regain their senses, yet as you make your leap
	you see the archer drop his bow and reach to his 
Š	sword. His blade clears its scabbard barely a second 
Š	before you make your attack, yet he is able to turn 
Š	aside your first blow. The skill with which he 
Š	handles his blade leaves you in no doubt that you are 
Š	facing an expert swordsman. Frightened slaves throw 
Š	themselves off the platform as you and Svolta begin a 
Š	desperate fight to the death.
