    The Najin land and encircle you. Their leader steps forward, yammering and pointing to the hills ahead. ‘They wish to lead us to Jnana,’ says Tanith. ‘He is their master.’
    ‘I do not like this, Grey Star,’ says Shan. ‘It is common knowledge that these beasts are used by the Wytch-king and the forces of Shadaki as spies and messengers. Surely this Jnana is a servant of the enemy?’

    As the Shadakine warrior crumples and falls, the excited mob roars its approval. They hail you as a hero and crowd around you cheering. A new sound floats on the harbour wind and the uproar subsides. You can hear the clatter of pounding hooves and the rumble of thundering wheels. A wave of panic ripples through the crowd. ‘The Wheels of Death!’ someone shouts.

    Three war chariots, driven by whip-wielding Shadakine, hurtle into the harbour. The chariot wheels have blades protruding from their hubs, and as the Shadakine plough into the crowd, the blades scythe down anyone in their path.
    In the confused panic, you see a chance to escape into a dark, narrow street.

    You and Shan huddle together. You are surrounded by writhing tendrils, though, for the moment, they seem reluctant to attack. ‘If ever a garden needed weeding … ’ murmurs Shan.
    Somehow, you must get past the deadly Yaku. They have you trapped. ‘We need something to divert their attention for a while,’ you say thoughtfully.
    ‘Don't look at me!’ Shan replies, wide-eyed.
    Despite your desperate plight, you cannot help smiling. ‘Of course not,’ you answer, ‘but perhaps there is another way … ’
    If you possess the Magical Power of Elementalism and wish to use this Power to escape, turn to 181 .
    If you possess the Magical Power of Enchantment and some Calacena Mushrooms, and wish to use this method of escape, turn to 206 .
    If you do not have either of these Magical Powers, or if you do not wish to use them, you may attempt to fight your way out by turning to 12 .

    You leave the fearful Stone where it lies and throw open the door of the antechamber. Standing in the circular room is Tanith, the young girl in the service of Mother Magri. ‘Grey Star,’ she says. ‘At last, I've found you.’
    ‘Beware,’ warns Shan. ‘She is a Shadakine slave. She cannot be trusted.’
    If you wish to attack the young girl, turn to 67 .
    If you wish to question her, turn to 147 .

    You are beginning to tire. Suddenly Tanith reappears, leading a wizened old man who is shouting angrily in a strange language. At his command the Najin cease to attack, flying up into the air and off into the distance as swiftly as they came. ‘Fools!’ curses the old man, dropping to his knees by the body of a dead Najin. ‘My children, my eyes and ears,’ he moans bitterly. ‘They meant you no harm. I sent them out in greeting.’
    ‘Jnana,’ says Tanith, pleading. ‘They did not know; they did not understand.’
    ‘Why did you bring them here, Tanith?’ asks
