It is a swarm of large Zlanbeast and possibly some Kraan. The alarm is shouted along the deck: <quote>Prepare for battle!</quote></p>

<p>Much of your time at Hammerdal is taken up by training with the Sommerswerd. Day by day your skill with the wondrous blade improves, and as you progress, so you learn more of its marvellous properties.</p>
<p>When you use the sword in combat it will add 8 points to your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> total (10 points if you possess the Kai Discipline of Weaponskill with any sword). It has the ability to absorb any magic used against you and doubles the total of all <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points lost by undead enemies (e.g. Helghast) during combat.<footref id="sect242-1" idref="sect242-1-foot"/></p>

The Darklords of Helgedad crave Vonotar<ch.apos/>s death in payment for his failure at the Battle of Holmgulf, and have discovered his whereabouts.

As the smoke clears, the misshapen creatures scurry back to their experiments, urged on by the shrieks of their cadaverous lieutenant.

It is obstructed by a group of minions who are attempting to dismantle a siege catapult and a two-wheeled field cannon.

You allow yourself a wry smile, for if you were able to ignite these kegs of powder, it would be sure to create just the kind of diversion you need.</p>
