Legend
"Better try the secret passage." You say agreeing with Ludmilla's idea.
Ludmilla nods and pushes a button behind a painting on the wall and a passage opens up, its only big enough for one person to walk through at a time.
"I'll be right behind you, just in case someone tries to sneak up on us." She says.
You're a little leery of Ludmilla being behind you. Something about that woman makes her someone you'd not want holding a weapon with your back to her! Still, you don't have much of a choice.
You walk along the dark passage, without incident, and you think you're going to get to the dungeon without a fight, but that doesn't happen when two glowing eyes meet you in the dark!
"Hello Ludmilla, your brother was right place me here to prevent a possible rescue attempt!" a deep voice says followed by a skeletal demonic face appearing about an inch before your own! You're immediately engaged in close combat!
SKELETAL DEMON
SKILL: 10
STAMINA: 6
You're at several disadvantages here. First you're too close to use any magic or technology assuming you have the means. Second it's dark and unless you have a lantern (Which Ludmilla would probably be carrying for you in this case) you'll have to subtract 2 from your dice roll for this fight. Third, unless you have a blunt weapon of some sort all damage you do will only cause 1 STAMINA point of damage. Finally, if the demon manages to land a hit on you twice in a row then he's managed to push you away long enough for him to unleash his disintegration ray, which will kill you instantly.
If you win despite all that, you eventually reach the dungeon where MORE fighting will take place no doubt!
