<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 rules in the Mongoose Publishing editions state that the bonus for Grand Weaponmastery with Bow is 5. Certain sections direct the reader to use different bonuses when using a Bow, ranging from 3 to 5, if you have Grand Weaponmastery with Bow. This may be the author adjusting the Grand Weaponmastery bonus on a case-by-case basis (and therefore this bonus should be used instead of the standard bonus) or an error (and therefore all of these bonuses should be 5). It is up to you to decide, but it seems most reasonable to follow the first alternative, to replace the Grand Weaponmastery bonus with whatever bonus is mentioned in that section.</p>

<p>If you are a New Order Kai who has attained the rank of Sun Knight, you will now benefit from improvements to the following Grand Master Disciplines:</p>
<dl class="paragraphed">
<dt>Grand Weaponmastery</dt>
- <dd><p>Sun Knights with this Discipline are able to wield two-handed weapons (i.e. Broadsword, Quarterstaff, and Spear) with full effect, using only one hand.</p></dd>

- <p>You dare not wait for the advancing horde to close in for, despite your formidable fighting skills, this enemy is heavily armed and you are greatly outnumbered. Fear ties a knot in the pit of your stomach as you unsheathe your Kai Weapon and set off towards the quarry<ch.apos/>s north wall at a run.</p>
+ <p>Despite your formidable fighting skills, you dare not wait for the advancing horde to close in, for this enemy is heavily armed and you are greatly outnumbered. Fear ties a knot in the pit of your stomach as you unsheathe your Kai Weapon and set off towards the quarry<ch.apos/>s north wall at a run.</p>
<p>Hurriedly you race towards the pit shaft at the base of the wall with the hope of reaching it before the horde can block your path. Their lizard-faced leader growls with anger when he sees you, and he shrieks a command to the archers in his ranks to let loose a volley of deadly arrows at your fleeing form.</p>
<p>Pick a number from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a>. If you possess Grand Huntmastery, add 1 to the number you have picked. If you possess Assimilance, add 2.</p>
<choice idref="sect94">If your total score is now 5 or lower, <link-text>turn to 94</link-text>.</choice>
<data>
<p>After a few minutes the minions cease firing and the pit shaft echoes to the sound of their distant, gurgling laughter. Cautiously you move to the middle of the chamber, to where a line of empty ore wagons stand on a sleepered track. This track curves in the centre and exits the chamber through brick-lined tunnels in the north and east walls. Beside the north tunnel exit you see an iron door with a broken lock.</p>
- <p>You unbutton the neck of your tunic and look at the Andarin Bloodstone in the hope it may help you choose the best route to follow. Its amber and crimson halves are glowing a little brighter now, but when you point the gemstone at each tunnel exit in turn, there is no variation. Looking down, you see that there are many tracks in the dusty ground. Some have been made by booted Drodarin feet, but mostly they are the clawed footprints of Shom<ch.apos/>zaa s minions. Then you apply your Kai Sixth Sense and you detect danger lurking along both tunnels.</p>
