<description class="blurb">
<p>For centuries the Shom<ch.apos/>zaa has lain incarcerated and forgotten in a granite prison located deep below the mountains of Bor. Now this terrifying beast has accidentally been set free, and its hunger for vengeance knows no bounds. With a horde of vile minions at its command, swiftly the Shom<ch.apos/>zaa enacts its sinister plan to destroy King Ryvin and the wondrous realm of the Drodarin dwarves.</p>
<p>In <strong><cite>The Fall of Blood Mountain</cite></strong>, you must journey to the fabulous subterranean kingdom of the dwarves and attempt to save your ancient allies from the wrath of the Shom<ch.apos/>zaa. Will you succeed in your mission or will you succumb to the terrible powers of this ancient champion of Evil?</p>

<p>The parapet of the barricade explodes as the icy bolt of energy slams into it with devastating effect. A section of timber penetrates your side and you are knocked to the ground by the force of the impact: lose 3 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points.</p>
<p>The War-thanes help you to get back on your feet, and defiantly you raise your Kai Weapon as the first wave of the Shom<ch.apos/>zaa horde reaches the barricade. The War-thanes fight with ruthless efficiency, felling ten of the enemy for every Drodarin who falls. But the horde are gripped by a battle-frenzy that drives them like demons, and you are hard-pressed to keep them from breaking through the barricade.</p>
