Information

The Silk Road is dangerous and the steppe nomads are a constant threat to the unwary traveler.

Overview

1 – Arrival

Ambush! A Werewolf, three Wolves, and two Nomads have closed in on your party’s campsite. They’re pretty easy, but they only represent the first wave. Once they’ve all been brought down, you’ll be ambushed by another wave consisting of a Werewolf, seven Wolves, and three Nomads.

During the battle with the second wave, a third wave will approach your campsite. This group of foes consists of a Werewolf, a Dire Wolf, a Nomad, and three Wolves.

When you’ve finally dispatched all three waves of attackers, you’ll enter a short bit of dialogue with a Wolf Khan off to the east. The Wolf Khan claims that you’ve entered their hunting grounds before rushing your party with the help of a Wolf and two Dire Wolves. Fortunately, this is the last battle you’ll have to contend with in this adventure.

Don’t be too quick to slay them all, though! There are six chests to loot on this level, so start moving around and collecting their treasure before bringing down all of the opposition. Once the Wolf Khan drops, you’ll automatically be brought to the “End of Adventure” screen (regardless of whether or not you looted any chests). Finishing the adventure earns you a Ring of Force Shield, though, so you’ll end up with some loot no matter what.
