'Here is your Gauntlet.' You snarl, holding forth you fist. 'I'm about tired of your games, and these pitiful little ideas end here.' Grabbing your weapon you advance on the crippled figure. It is unable to get up, bound as it is in the chair, bound not only in soul to Unlife, but bound in body as well to an unmoving object in the middle of a barren room, or so it seems at least. Marching purposely toward the Ghoulag you raise your weapon to strike, but are intercepted by the robed figure. This is the Ghoulag's personal bodyguard. It blocks your blow with a black kagonite blade. Raising its jagged sword it prepares to do battle against you. Lifting off its hood, it reveals a skeletal face, with gaping fangs and glowing red eyes.

The Ghoulag loves to experiment with the aid of several Liganim that escaped Aarnak's destruction. In their attempt to try to recreate the Helghasts of the past they ended up with these powerful creatures. Though unable to shape change, they turned out to be powerful adversaries in combat, so much so that even the Kai fear to battle such creatures.

The Monster attacks. Its assault is ferocious and you doubt even you will be able to defeat such a creature. If you possess the Dark Amulet you notice that it is disintegrating. Delete this Special Item from you list, but as it does so, you may add 12 points to your COMBAT SKILL for this combat only. It is a powerful item concocted by the Kai to battle this specific brand of Undead. Remember, if you did not have this item at the beginning of this section, you may not add this bonus.

Ghoulag Helghast: COMBAT SKILL 35   ENDURANCE 25

If you manage to somehow win this battle turn to 8.
