The Sorcerer’s Manor – 045

This large room is a hall of statues. A half-dozen are spaced about in the gloom, of varied warriors and monsters, all poised for battle. There is the hollow sound of a distant bell, and then one of the marble figures creaks to life! It is the statue of a large, muscled wrestler. It comes toward you with surprising agility!

You are at B on the room board; the living statue is at Y; A is north. The statue grapples the closest character. If you survive, you may search 3/IQ ~(039) or leave, back to the east (001).

• Living Statue: ST15 DX10 IQNA; Grapple 1D6+3; Stone Skin 4/0.
