But it isn't an earthquake. You hear people screaming. Then you hear a very loud, very deep snarl.

You roll over and look, then shoot straight up. A giant canine monster is crashing through the remains of the village. "Merlyn, what the %*@# is that?" you shout.

"It's a giant water wolf!" she gulps. "Let's go! Though I don't know if we'll be able to take this one!"

If you want to fight the giant water wolf: give up 15 courage points, and turn to page 80.
If you have less than 15 courage points or do not want to fight, turn to page 75.
