Through a tear in the clouds you see a new host of Lavas come swooping down.</p>

- <p>You tug the Sommerswerd from its scabbard and a vibrant golden light erupts along the full length of its divinely-crafted blade. For the first time you see clearly the mysterious creature illuminated by the glow of your sword: the sight is chilling to behold. Its mouth is a mass of twisted fangs and from its huge, bear-like body there writhes a score of slimy tentacles, each tipped with a venomous claw. Its reptilian head is domed and at its centre there protrudes a twisted horn, longer than a broadsword.</p>

<p>The portal begins to shimmer and lose its solidity. At first it becomes transparent and then it fades completely, as if evaporating into thin air. With a smile of satisfaction on your lips at having overcome it, you step through the now-open archway and into an adjoining hall.</p>
<p>This vaulted, oblong-shaped hall is illuminated by flickerings of electrical fire which arc between two free-standing pillars at the far end of the chamber.</p>
<p>Beyond the pillars you can make out the shadowy entrance to another chamber; it is the only other exit from this hall. You realize at once that to pass between the pillars could prove to be fatal: the power arcing between them is as great as any lightning storm raging in the skies above Xaagon.

It gives a loud gibbering howl of victory before returning to its evil-smelling lair.</p>
