 There is a short moment when you consider whether it is possible that the shield which protects you might also be an effective defence against the Dreyadim. It proves quickly to be a vain hope. As you advance towards the Hresh the creature raises its rusting scimitar and swings wildly, cutting easily through the sphere before charging into you. The shield may protect you from the power of the Shan'duil but the Dreyadim has no trouble breaching its protective field. To the sound of metal clashing against metal the battle begins.
Acting only on instinct the creature stabs and hacks at you, the violence of its assault forcing you on to the back foot as you desperately try and find an answer to its mindless ferocity. Stunned by its reckless energy you defend against its blows but can find no quick victory. Upon the stone bridge the battle is bloody, the Hresh a raging berserker that slashes and cuts in a wild rampage, forcing you into a desperate defence that leaves you incapable of doing anything except fending its blows. Against its attack there is no respite and it is inevitable that the Dreyadim finds an opportunity to strike hard. In one rending arc of its scimitar the spectral warrior tears at your flesh, cutting you ragged from shoulder to midriff. Mortally wounded, blood spraying across the bridge you fall onto the stone and lay still. In this place of Power you have died and in this life your quest is over.
