"We're going the direct way, they'll never expect it!" you say. Ludmilla looks a little less confident in your unique logic, but she follows.

You quickly make your way where the steps leading down are and are immediately faced with enemies, both human AND other. The demon isn't as big as you thought, a rather small hunched over, skeletal creature actually.

"Kill the demon quickly before it can use its powers!" Ludmilla shouts and attacks the human enemies. No sooner has she said that, the skeletal demon has unleashed a purple ray at you! Test your SKILL and add 2 to the dice result. If you fail, the ray hits you and you're disintegrated instantly.

If you succeed, you avoid the ray and get in close so he can't aim at you again and is forced to fight. If you're a Priest of Karn you may add 2 to your dice roll for such a bold attack.

SKELETAL DEMON
SKILL: 10
STAMINA: 6

Unless you have a blunt weapon of some sort all damage you do will only cause 1 STAMINA point of damage.

If you win, you have more opponents to fight. Fortunately Ludmilla is taking up some of the slack and you're fighting in a stairwell which prevents you from getting surrounded, so you may fight these one at a time.

FOLLOWER OF THE DARK ONE
SKILL: 8
STAMINA: 10

FOLLOWER OF THE DARK ONE
SKILL: 7
STAMINA: 12

FOLLOWER OF THE DARK ONE
