78

The fight with the Mutan lasts for some time. The creature is a worthy opponent and it takes considerable skill and effort to dispatch it. In the end however, it lies motionless on the stone floor of the study, its fetid lifeblood draining freely into the cracks that run the length of the room. A quick search of the papers on the Mutan's desk reveals nothing that will be useful to your quest, and the room itself is bare except for a number of boxes containing papers and scrolls. With the heat building ever more oppressive you turn your attention to the Mutan's wondrous talking device. The strange box is small but proves to be far too heavy to move easily. You decide to leave it behind and possibly collect it later. Whenever that may be.
With nothing of use to be found you leave the room behind and resume your journey down the south passage.
