Mission Two

Our heroes Link and Gwalchmai with their Companions sneak through the Barbican and enter the first room. No Panter of course as he did not survive the battle across the bridge. Forewarned by the Vulture the Shaman and his two guards are ready. A curse is cast but Link is able to resist. Whilst Gwalchmai casts an enchanted blade on Link’s 2 handed-sword Birdo and the Swordsman distract the guards. This allows Link to take on the Shaman and with one blow (critical) he cuts him down. They make short work of the guards and enter room 2 within the required time.

This room is a torture room. The heroes advance as fast as they can but are held back by the guards and the narrow spaces between the tables. This allows the Orc Sergeant to attack the unarmed soldier and cut him down. Then Gwalchmai casts weakness on him and Link attacks him. Gwalchmai and Swordsman take nasty wounds in the melee but once again our heroes defeat the enemy and enter the third room in time.This is a store room.

Whilst Gwalchmai and the Swordsman hold off the guards Link, Recruit and Birdo rush off towards the piles of treasure. Gwalchmai yet again takes a heavy wound and falls to the ground, Swordsman soon following. Link and his cohort grab the treasure and then finish off the enemy whilst the Recruit races up the tower steps to open the final door in time.

Fortunately Gwalchmai, Swordsman and Dog are all okay and easily heal up for the final fight. Recruit stays behind to guard the rescued soldiers.

The Tower

Link and Birdo head towards the enemies whilst Gwalchmai enchants Link’s sword and weakens the Shadow Knight. They see distant green watch towers alight whilst they fight.

Once again Link strikes a critical blow on the shadow knight and defeats him in two strikes with his magically enhanced two handed sword. Birdo is wounded and a fight ensues on the walkways. However they are soon victorious and rescue the final soldier before lighting the warning beacon. They make a hasty retreat and head out picking up the two soldiers on the way out.

From the treasure a magic two handed sword is found for Gwalchmai and Link is able to obtain some training for his Dog. Both Main characters are now level 3 and a new Conjuror has joined Gwalchmai’s list of companions.
