The Black Citadel
You wait for a moment without responding, unable to make the first move. The vampire whispers something that you sense to be an incarnation. He then suddenly floats down to you again, stretches his arms and claws out in front of him and says,
"A mage with no spells to cast, well that's unfortunate. How do you feel about physical combat then?"
The vampire suddenly rushes towards you with a terrifying awesome speed. You swipe at him with the pointed end of your staff but he ducks with a fluid ease before following up with a strike with his right hand that hits you, narrowing missing your neck. (Lose 1 body or helm armour point). You jump backwards, twist and turn your body around and swing out with you staff again from behind yourself to land a skillfully manoeuvred blow. Your staff thuds into the protective shield that the vampire had already evoked. A shiny ring of protection on his right hand gives away the source of his unexpected magical powers. Now continue the battle (roll two dice). You'll need to land two more blows to break the vampire's shield.
If you roll a 2-7 lose an armour or shield point
If you roll an 8-9 you miss
If you roll 10-12 you land a blow on the vampire's shield
