With a mighty effort you drag the Staff from his hand before the life-force is drained from you. Shasarak drags himself to his feet and begins to run towards the wall of fire.
‘Come, come to me,’ Agarash whispers. ‘I will be free.’
Shasarak stops. ‘No, you will not have me,’ he rasps savagely. ‘I’ll take him yet’ He reaches up and pulls a long, black Staff from thin air and brandishes it at you. ‘Come…We will fight!’ He lashes at you with his Staff. You must duel with your arch-enemy.
