Strategy…from the Chalice of Mystery

“These are powerful foes. Any chance of success that we have
depends on separating them. The layout of their lair works in our
favor. If we can get past the giant captains, I’ll ‘Wizard Lock’ the

must use stealth and great caution. If I could sneak past the dragon,
I could also ‘Wizard Lock’ the distal doors,” Roscoe stated.

nearly caught. How do you propose we get by the giants and more
importantly the dragon? I think we should anticipate fi ghting them
all.”
Roscoe didn’t answer.
