| 389 Caught completely by surprise you stand in the red glare of the fire, looking into the faces of the Hordim as they recover from their own astonishment. As one they spring into action. The Morg back up and fan out, covering the only exit from the cavern and your only chance of escape. From the moment you felt the shove in the back you knew you were dead. The Hordim are not going to let you leave this place alive, the Morg will ensure that your death will be long and painful. As you are not disposed towards either a long or painful death you decide that the best option is a quick end, one that takes as many of the Hordim with you as possible. Taking your sword in your hand you run for a clear area to your right, one that allows you to have your back to a wall. From this position you can see a third Jotun, no doubt the creature that pushed you into the cavern. All three Warriors stand before you, two armed with warhammers, the third wielding a huge flail made of chain ended with small steel spheres. Here you will have to fight for your life. Here you will probably die.
| This is a battle that shall be difficult to win. As the Jotun have a strict code of honour regarding single combat you will find that they will attack you one at a time, the most senior warrior going first. The three warriors must be fought one at a time and if you are lucky enough to kill one of them, he will be replaced immediately by the next. The Jotun have the following combat ratings and endurance levels.
| CR | EL
First Jotun | 30 | 20
Second Jotun | 29 | 22
Third Jotun | 28 | 18
If by some miracle you defeat these enormous foes then you will have achieved a great victory and should turn to section 411. If however their combined power if too much for you then it is here in this dark place that you will die and your quest will end. Perhaps in another life you shall have better luck.
