- The scene: Someone recently stole books from the temple of Asral. Devi wonders, "I wonder how talented you have to be to sneak in there?". She finds out that you definitely have to be more talented than she is.
You think you found a good possibility to sneak south.
You have entered the sanctuary of this temple dedicated to Asral the
neutral god of war and guardian of the fighters, mostly worshiped by humans
or other martial races. Asral is known to be neither good nor evil but he
prefers courage and heroism in battle. A huge statue of this deity
dominates the room and the altar stands on the southern wall. The furniture
consists of gold and gems. Valuable weapons and armours cover the walls and
bright light shines into the room through a huge window in the southern
wall.
There is a sign attached to one of the walls next to the altar.
Something is drawn onto the ground:
'A drawing of the god Asral, pierced through the heart with an arrow, and the
words "Check your priestly library."'
There are two obvious exits: north, west.
A burning pit of fire.
Daspor, Felron, Gornhelm, Rungarak and Zssorsal.
The flames of the burning pit blaze even higher for a moment.
You are looking around for a possibility to sneak west.

penetrates your skirt and drills it very deep into your left leg, causing a
nasty, deep wound.

your left leg and breaks it with a bone-crunching sound.
You groan painfully.

You cannot longer wear your white leather skirt.
