You draw upon your Discipline to create a fog that billows up in the midst of the robbers. As soon as you hear their screams of panic, you kick open the door and attack them. You catch them completely by surprise, but to your dismay you soon discover that one of your adversaries is armed with your Kai Weapon which he uses against you.8
Tomb Robbers (with Kai Weapon): COMBAT SKILL 48 ENDURANCE 48
If you win this combat, turn to 12.
[8] It is uncertain whether the Tomb Raiders benefit from the special magical bonus of your Kai Weapon or whether the magic of the Kai Weapon is only active in the hands of the Kai. If you decide that the bonuses apply and your Kai Weapon is ‘Illuminatus’, add 2 points to the Tomb Robbers’ COMBAT SKILL because the Tomb Robber is wielding it underground. If your Kai Weapon is ‘Valiance’ and you possess Kai-alchemy or Magi-magic, add 3 points to the Tomb Robbers’ COMBAT SKILL because the Tomb Robber is wielding it against a magician. If your Kai Weapon is ‘Kaistar’, add 2 points to the Tomb Robbers’ COMBAT SKILL because the Tomb Robber is wielding it at night. Also, if your Kai Weapon was damaged during Vampirium, remember to deduct the appropriate penalty to the Grave Robbers’ COMBAT SKILL.
