38

He laboriously lumbers through the narrow confines until he seems to find what he is looking for on yet another blank wall. With a slight tap of his fingers, a door opens here as well to reveal a luxurious treasure chamber. Yet all is not well in this room, for goodness seems to have been driven from it. Evil permeates every corner of this chamber, filling it as if darkness had a foothold in the land of the Kai. It is not surprising, for in here are all sorts of evil relics. Gazing around you realize none of them are really of any value to you, being more useful to a Nadziranim, or other such sorcerous creatures such as a Liganim, one of the Nadziranim thralls. Instead your gaze is drawn to the middle of the room.

On a pedestal, upheld by two prongs, Helshezag radiates its evil. The actual blade of the sword seems as if it were streaked with the Plane of Darkness itself. Blacker than the pitch dark night, it seems a gash in reality that draws you ever closer. Lakaast seems to have temporarily disappeared, but it is of no concern to you, for you are on the brink of retrieving your goal.

With a few steps you are before it, and without any hesitation, you grasp the sword.

Do you possess Haakon's Stone? If so, turn to 7.

If you do not, turn to 48.
