<p>Despite the fatigue of recent combat, you manage to erect a defensive wall around your mind which protects you from the Vordak<ch.apos/>s attack. At first their destructive energy is absorbed by this barrier; then it is transformed and cast back at them with twice its original intensity.</p>
<p>The Vordaks reel under the impact of your psychic retaliation. Before they can fully recover, you run at them and launch yourself into hand-to-hand combat.</p>

<p>For several seconds you stare at the remaining creature through a cloud of choking dust. Then, as if prompted by a silent command, you are both galvanized into action.

<p><quote>For Sommerlund!</quote> you cry and, with a mighty effort, you cast the ball of energy at the two dragon-creatures. The meteor of light hits the leading creature and explodes with a brilliant flash. There a splash of white-hot sparks and suddenly the tunnel is silent.
