212

With a yell of desperation you tumble headlong towards the sea and strike the water face-first. For an instant you feel its icy chill; then you are plunged into darkness as your head and left shoulder slam against a ridge of solid ice that lies submerged just a few inches below the slushy surface. Mercifully, you are knocked unconscious and spared the agony of being crushed and torn between the ship’s prow and the cruel, unyielding ice.

Tragically, your life and your quest end here in the Tozaz Sea.
