The Lekhor twists and writhes in frustrated fury, for it cannot shake you free from its trunk. The head rears up and a droplet of venom splashes the back of your hand. It burns like a red-hot dagger, and you cannot stifle a cry of pain. The serpent snickers, its red forked tongue lashing the air just a few inches in front of your face.

Lekhor: COMBAT SKILL 16   ENDURANCE 30

Due to your precarious position, you cannot make use of a shield or any two-handed weapon (i.e. Broadsword, Spear, Quarterstaff) during the combat, and, due to the corrosive venom of the Lekhor, you must treble any ENDURANCE point losses you sustain during the combat.

If you win the combat, turn to 296.
