Fighting Windhammer
Combat with Dragons is both difficult and extremely dangerous. Their large bulk and armoured hides do not allow the use of normal weapons. It is only weapons possessed of magic that will do direct lethal harm, however weapons of iron alone can inflict damage against the mouth, eyes and neck. To strike such areas of a large serpent requires luck, courage and a high degree of skill. To defeat Windhammer you will need them all.
Dragons have two offensive weapons; Dragonfire and their talons. Both will kill and both must be avoided. To combat the Dragon Windhammer the following combat system applies. It is the same as normal combat but has one significant difference. Before rolling for your attack round test your luck attribute. If you are successful you will have luck on your side. If you win your attack round you will have hit a vulnerable spot and the Dragon will be harmed. Failing this test signifies that you have been unlucky and even if you win the attack round the Dragon is unaffected. Combat proceeds on the basis that with each attack round of your own you will be either lucky or unlucky in striking a vulnerable spot on the beast.
Windhammer has a combat value of 33 and in the circumstances of this battle has an endurance rating of 33. As with all creatures Windhammer will die when its endurance falls to 0.
