 The Hresh has about 8 metres to run before it will be in a position to strike. Turning to the second door as a possible means of escape you place all your strength against it but it will not budge. It is as rusted and decrepit as the door you had to force to gain entry here and it can provide no sanctuary from the advancing Hordim. Even before you take your shoulder from the door you know you have made a fatal error.
Giving up you turn back to face the Hresh. The creature is remarkably quick, bearing down upon you within the space of a few heartbeats. As if acting in slow motion you turn to meet the threat and find the warrior's scimitar already slicing down upon you. In desperation you try to fend off the blow but the strength of the creature is overwhelming. With a massive head wound you fall limply to the floor. The Hresh screams in triumph and it is the last thing you hear as you slip quietly into the cool numbness of approaching death. Here, outside the Custom's House of Stoneholme your quest ends. Perhaps in another life the Fates will provide you with greater success.
