Northmen are on their quest:
They arrive at the ruin and everything seems peaceful. It doesn't take long for them to find the entrance that leads down and there is a hole in one wall in the basement, leading into another room with a spiral stairway. Much further down, in the light of lamps and torches, they see a beautiful marble hall with four doors to pick from.
They pick the eastern door, and as they enter it shuts behind them. On the other side, they enter the hall of toughness. A chilling wind from nowhere pushes them back, and even the floor seems to be moving against them. The door on the other side of the room is open, with the warm glow of fire behind it, but reaching it seems impossible.
They struggle on and keep going. Step by step they come ahead, slow and slower. But finally, they reach the other end.
The labyrinth continues and finally leads them into a hall with three statues of warriors. As they enter, the door behind them closes shut, and the statues suddenly come alive! With swords and shields made from stone, they attack.
With no flesh to wound nor blood to draw, these stone warriors are formidable enemies, and even though they fight hard, the group gets beaten bloody. Just as the warriors tower above them, ready for the kill, they return to their positions and a voice says: "You failed this test, but you passed the first. You are given another chance to prove your worth."
The party takes a total of 20 points of damage, in marching order.
Sven Svenson takes 6 points of damage, minus 2 points of armour, losing 4 hitpoints.
Kugar Bear Shaman takes 4 points of damage, minus 2 points of armour, losing 2 hitpoints.
Small Willi takes 8 points of damage, minus 3 points of armour, losing 5 hitpoints.
Bjorn the Quick takes 2 points of damage but his armour of 2 points prevents serious damage.
They return to the town beaten and frustrated.
Quest Completed, party now has 10 gold available for shopping.
