A blackened flame of detritus His corporeal form a’tattered. When did victory’s claim ring loudly When did hearts of hope swollen pride Rejoice brave men, at Gareth’s blow The pieces of Zhengyi flung wide.  \nBut you cannot kill what is not alive You cannot strike a notion You cannot smite with force of arm The magic of dark devotion. Thus Gareth’s sword did undo The physical, the corporeal shattered. The Witch-King focus was denied The magical essence scattered.  \nSo hearken you children to Mother’s words Walk straight to Father, follow. For a piece of Zhengyi watches you In dark Wilderness’s hollow.  \nPRELUDE  \nThe smallish man skated along the magically greased, downward sloping corridor, his feet moving in short stabs to continue scrabbling ahead and keep him upright—no easy task. Wisps of smoke rose from his battered traveling cloak and a long tear showed down the side of his left pant leg, with bright blood oozing beneath.  \nArtemis Entreri slid into the right hand wall and rolled along it, not using it to break his dizzying dash, for to do so would be to allow the lich to catch sight of him.  \nAnd that, above all else, the assassin did not want.  \nHe came around from one roll and planted his arms hard against the wall before him, then shoved out, propelling him diagonally down the narrow hallway. He heard the sound of flames roaring behind him, followed by the strained laughter of Jarlaxle, his drow companion. Entreri recognized that the confident dark elf was trying to unnerve the pursuer with that cackle, but even Entreri heard it for what it was: a discordant sound unevenly roiling above a bed of complete uneasiness.  \nFew times in their months together had Entreri heard any hint of worry from the collected dark elf, but there was no mistaking it, and that only reinforced his own very real fears.  \nHe was well beyond the illumination of the last torch set along the long corridor by then, but a sudden and violent flash from behind him brightened the way, showing him that the corridor ended  \n1  \nabruptly a dozen feet beyond and made a sharp right turn. The assassin took full note of that perpendicular course, his only chance, for in that flash, he saw clearly the endgame of the lich’s nasty trap: a cluster of sharpened spikes sticking out from the wall.  \nEntreri hit the left hand wall and again went into a roll. On one turn, he sheathed his trademark jeweled dagger, and on the next he managed to slip his sword, Charon’s Claw, into its scabbard on his left hip. With his hands free, he better controlled his skid along the wall. The floor was more slippery than an icy decline in a windless cavern in the Great Glacier itself, but the walls were smooth and solid stone. His hands worked hard each time he came around, and his feet skidded and spun in place as he rolled his shoulders to keep himself upright. He approached the sharp turn and the abrupt, deadly ending.  \nHe yelled as another thunderous explosion rocked the corridor behind him. The assassin shoved off with all his strength as he came around, timing it perfectly for maximum effect. Turning, he threw his upper body forward to strengthen the movement, cutting him across the hallway to the side passage. As soon as his feet slid off that main corridor, he stumbled, for the magical grease abruptly ended. He caught the corner and pulled himself back to it, going in hard, face up against the wall. He glanced back only once, and in the dim light could see the sharp, barbed tips ofthe deadly spikes.  \nHe started to peek around, back the way he had come, but he nearly cried out in surprise to see a flailing form charging past him. He tried to grab at Jarlaxle, but the drow eluded him, and Entreri thought his companion doomed on the end of the spikes.  \nBut Jarlaxle didn’t hit the spikes. Somehow, some way, the drow pulled up short, whipped to the left, and slammed hard in","cbCaiercBPYcflu9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiercBPYcflu9","pdf",2048778,384,"English","# Prelude\n## Escape through the corridor\n## Spikes and magical grease\n## Lightning ambush and pursuit\n## Confrontation with the lich","[{\"question\":\"What is the immediate situation in the Prelude?\",\"answer\":\"Entreri and Jarlaxle are fleeing down a narrow, magically treated corridor while a lich pursuer closes in.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the lich set its trap?\",\"answer\":\"The lich leads the chase to a sharp turn where spikes protrude from the wall, creating an endgame in the corridor’s layout.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does Jarlaxle play during the spike trap?\",\"answer\":\"Jarlaxle avoids the spikes by pulling up short and striking the wall opposite Entreri with lightning, disrupting parts of the trap.\"}]","TO KILL THE WITCH-KING - Prelude - Artemis Entreri and the Lich Trap | PDF",1790659391,591]
