You reach out and take the Eagle Key. Tanith cries a warning, causing you to spin round. ‘Grey Star!’ she screams, pointing up at a dark speck high in the featureless sky.

The speck grows larger and larger and soon you hear the sound of beating wings. A giant eagle is hurtling towards you, its chilling scream breaking the silence. Its hooked beak and cruel talons are poised to tear your flesh.

If you wish to fire a long-range attack with your Wizard’s Staff, turn to 31.

If you wish to wait and fight the eagle in close combat, turn to 87.
