Combat Results Table
Combat Ratio:
Your Skill - Opponent's Skill.

Combat Result: Roll 2d6, and add your Combat Ratio. Repeat until either you or your opponent(s) are killed.

Strength Checks: A successful Strength Check increases your effective Skill by 1. A failed check reduces your effective Skill by 1.
Special Results: A "K" result means either the death of your character or all your remaining foes. However, the text may include other special results when you get a certain combat result. For example, a poisonous creature may inject poison on any combat result of 4 or less. Or your opponent may have a weakness in it's defence, resulting in it taking extra damage or even death when the combat result reaches or exceeds a certain amount. This could even apply to specific combat results (eg you need to get a combat result of "9" exactly to get the special result - this could represent hitting the weakness in Achilles' heel).

During your adventure, you may also find special weapons which modify your skill and/or damage against certain foes. Make a note of this on your character sheet, and don't forget to apply the modifiers in combat (the text may remind you, then again, it may not).
Armour and Weapons: Armour and Weapons usually increase your character's effective Skill. Some may have other effects instead/as well.
Fighting Multiple Opponents: If you are fighting multiple opponents, you will see an entry like the one below:
Huntsman and 2 Dogs: Skill: 14/12/11 Life Points: 6/6/12.
This means that the skill of all three opponents combined is 14. When you kill one opponent, it drops to 12, and the last foe has a skill of 11. The Life Points entry is for each foe individually, so your first and second foes have 6 Life Points each, while your third foe has 12. You must kill your foes in the order presented, unless otherwise specified. If you kill an opponent by obtaining a damage result (some number between 1 and 7), then any remaining damage is not transferred to your next foe. However, if you kill your opponent with a "K" result, all remaining foes in this combat are also killed. You will only obtain a "K" result if your combat ratio is 3 or more.
