Horror Marks

[Tuidjy]

In a running game of mine, I have an arch-theurg with the forbidden light,
a robe of the archmage, sitting in a lab in a magic 3 dominion. He has
been attacked maybe 15 times so far, and only one of the attacks was by
a 'standard' Horror. The rest were Minor Horrors.

Bodyguards are mostly useless. The horror will not bother with them, and
will go straight for the mage.

A better bet is ritual of returning, or whatever the spell that bring you
home if you are hurt is called. Just make sure you never leave the mage
in your capital. Not recommended for puny mages, though.

An even better bet is the battle spell that brings you home at once. The
problem with that is that while ok for a ritual caster, this script is
perfectly useless for a battle caster.

And of course, there is my way. One wish for power, an elf bane and a fire
shield, and just watch the puny arch-theurg kick the poor horrors around.
