The Black Citadel
You peer inside into the darkness of the narrow cave. Your oil-lamp lights up an eerie looking tunnel. As you both follow the tunnel downwards, it begins to get really cold and you notice that the tunnel walls look as if they are frozen solid or are in fact made of ice. Your curiosity makes you reach out your hand to touch the wall, you flinch at the extreme cold and you feel your fingers suddenly become numb. You assume it must be the dark work of the succubae. This must be their lair then, so Teil mustn't be too far away.
After some time the tunnel begins to widen out into icy cavern. Sharp pointed stalactites hang precariously down from the top of the high cavern. You suddenly hear a sharp piercing scream at the end of the cavern, followed by several more, and then a running of footsteps. You can't see much of anything in the gloomy darkness around you. The running of feet draws nearer and again there are a couple of spine-tingling screams.
Suddenly four succubae enter your vision and they are sprinting at you quickly.
"Time to die mortals!" one of them hisses at you both. Like the previous ones you just slayed, they are dressed in black ring mail and are armed with long barbed spears.
Two run for Vandil and the other two, to your disappointment, run towards you.
Again their chain mail has an armour rating of (+2) which you need to get through first before you land a fatal blow. (ie This means you need to successfully land three blows before you kill each succubus). You can do one of the following first to destroy the armour of one of them.
Use your Scroll of Weaken (Lv.1)
Use your Spell/Scroll of Fireball
Throw an oil bomb at one of them
Or you may use your Scroll of Strength (+1 to your dice rolls for this combat round). Or alternatively you may cast your Scroll of Thunder Storm (Lv.3) to save both of you fighting at all.
Remember: (if you've destroyed their armour, you need to land only two blows, one each, to kill them).
Now fight them both together! (roll two dice).
