Evil Lord Vandyan of Eldenora has unearthed the lost secrets of rune magics used by Agarash the Damned during his ancient conquest of Magnamund. Empowered by his discoveries, Vandyan unleashes his armies upon the peaceful realms of the Free Alliance with swift and devastating effect. Lone Wolf, Supreme Master of the Kai, leads the crusade to defeat Vandyan before all Magnamund succumbs to his tyrannical rule.
In Rune War, your task is to infiltrate Skull-Tor, Lord Vandyan
You summon and focus your psychic powers and then launch a powerful burst of mental energy at the serpent
Unaware of your mental attack, the giant snake lunges forward and attempts to stab you with its venomous fangs. You dodge aside to avoid being impaled upon them, and as the snake withdraws its head in readiness for a second strike, you land a might blow to its neck. The creature hisses angrily. You have opened a deep wound but it has not incapacitated the creature. Once more it opens its terrifying jaws and prepares to stab at your chest. You must fight it.
This enemy is immune to all forms of psychic attack. If you possess Illuminatus
, you will benefit from the additional combat bonus applicable to its unique properties.

The second serpent rears out of the water and lunges forward in an attempt to stab you with its venomous fangs. You dodge aside to avoid being gouged and then strike a mighty blow to its neck, just as the creature withdraws its head in readiness for a second attack. The great snake hisses angrily. You have opened a deep wound, but it has not incapacitated the creature. Once more it stretches its terrifying jaws and prepares to lunge at your chest.

The lane comes to an end at a tree-lined plaza located beside the cityFlank Street
among them, and hurriedly you set off towards it.
Immediately upon entering Flank Street you notice a large green sign hanging above a nearby shop. It is shaped in the likeness of a barrel and reads:

You kick aside your canvas cover and unsheathe your Kai Weapon as the Vorka clambers into the boat. The creature lets out a gurgling cry when it sees you rising up before its disbelieving eyes, but before it can shriek out in alarm, you strike out at its scaly throat.
This enemy is immune to Mindblast (but not Kai-surge).

You follow the street until you come to a watchtower located at the northwest corner of the city wall. Here it curves sharply to the east and passes beneath a stone arch which denotes the boundary of the city
At length, the street ends at a tree-lined plaza located near to the northern gatehouse. An iron post stands at its centre, affixed with arrowed signs which show the names of the surrounding streets. They all lead away from the plaza like spokes from the hub of a wheel. Your hopes rise when you see the name Flank Street
among them, and hurriedly you set off towards it.
