Hunters, archers, and those seeking vengeance tie a prayer flag (100sp) to the enormous shafts of this skeletal giant. The next arrow loosed is as magic missile.

The Knight's Tour is the route a chess knight would have to take to visit each square of the board exactly once. A knight moves 2 squares on 1 axis & 1 in the other. It has inspired experimental literary forms, like Sanskrit poems that can be read left to right or by jumping syllables like a knight.
