Enter Combat with the Warrior Woman

You stand up straight and nod. You appreciated her candor. She knew why she was here. You knew why you were here. There was no need to play games.

"I need your ruby." You say.

"It's in my left boot." She replies as she settles into a combat stance. She reminded you of a panther ready to pounce.

"Nothing personal." You say. "But I must defeat you. I need that ruby. I need to get back home."

Gripping her ax in both hands she nods. "Very well. Don't hold anything back, because I won't." Her eyes narrow. "Tell me when you're ready."

Do combat with the Warrior Woman:

• Make a Body check: 1d6+0 to defeat her in combat. If you have the Combat ability roll the d6 twice and take the better result.
• If you have the Magic ability you may instead make a Mind check. Because of her inexperience with battling Mages you will get an additional +1 to this roll. So it will be: 1d6+0+1
• If you have the Scoundrel ability you may instead try to fight defensively and attempt to steal the ruby from her now that you know where it is.
