************************************

Jack’s heart is hammering as he squeezes the Giant’s Knucklebones in one hand and offers Silver Coins with the other.

“Here are the ten Emeralds you requested,” he says. If Red Tom spoke true about the magic of the Giant’s Knucklebones, then any lie Jack utters while holding them will be believed.

 

It seems Red Tom never attempted to con a Golem. The Silver Man, organic in his unique way but with a mind of liquid metal, is in no way deceived. The Golem buffets Jack on the head powerfully enough to snap the warrior’s spine immediately.

 

THE END.

 

Return to 1 and begin the quest again or continue the adventure in Perilous Jack in the Land of Death.
