Border of the Fogs

Patrol Border of Fogs

The outskirts of the city are shrouded in a never ending fog, connecting Eternal Rome to other worlds dimensionally and/or possibly even temporally. It appears the fog serves as the only way for goods to come and go, transported by "clippers". Only intelligent beings may travel the fog; Apparently this includes the assorted creatures make appearances near the border to accost any woman unfortunate enough to catch their attention.

Fighting here will raise your combat rank (which goes from "non-combatant" to "master swordsman").
Losing, however, results in a game over, (even if you escape and don't die), so it would be wise to obtain armour, weapons, and a special technique before trying.
The number of special techniques you can learn from Lanista is limited by your combat rank, so wearing the Aketon will let you learn at least one.
("Roundhouse Kick" or "Battle Cry" may be particularly helpful, but victory is quite possible without any special techniques, if one avoids the hardest encounters and has a high strength. Good Hygiene and good food, among other things, are completely capable of maxing out strength to "Herculean" given enough time.)

Choosing to patrol the border, the player may encounter any of these accosting a slave:

• A Werewolf
• A Fog Fiend (Three levels: immature, adult and huge/hardened)
• A Lich Necromancer
• A Black Medic & 3 Minions
• 2 beggars, a suprisingly strong cripple and 2 skinny old men
• A Paladin of Taurus House & 2 footmen
• 4 Beastmen
• A Vampire
• An Ogre (Jack HF)
• An Orc (Jack HF)
• 2 Goblins (Jack HF)
• A Warg (Jack HF)

Jack HF: Young fiends are the easiest opponents. They are comparable to (maybe slightly weaker than) the hardest sparring partners.
All other single opponents are significantly harder, orcs and mature fiends being the next easiest among them.
Armour is especially helpful for the group encounters. The scum and goblins are probably the easiest and the beastmen the hardest. None should be approached lightly. Note that you can switch between opponents by clicking the arrows above their portraits. This lets you pick off the weaklings.
Jack Original: In general, immature fiends and vampires are the easiest opponents, followed by liches and adult fiends. Huge fiends and werewolves can be challenging, as can any of the multiple opponent encounters. Armour is recommended before engaging the group encounters. The scum are probably the easiest and the beastmen the hardest. None should be approached lightly.

Upon defeating the enemy, the player gains the slave they just rescued. In the event the player already has one, she will be immediately sold off at the auction, the profit collectable at the White Town Trade Square auction the next day.
It is recommended to get your new slave checked at the medical complex immediately, or [if playing the Jack HF mod] cast Adverto Servili (magical brand) to magically cure the slave.

Moneylender's home
