You wait for about five minutes untill a beautiful lady in a red gown appears.

She cries:

"Beware of the Power of the Snake! No one can withstand Her!"

As an answer, 4d6 of snakes, each with a MR of 20, crawl from among the brambles. Defend yourself for at least 1 combat turn.

After each combat turn:

• if you killed them all, advance 1 yard. It is twenty yards to the gate. Each yard an additional 4d6 come crawling out of nowhere. If you get there, stand before the gate. If at least one of your party members has anything written on its character sheet about attacking or cutting brambles, the brambles do nothing.
• If you didn't kill them all, 1d6 of snakes join them. Each has MR20. Fight one more round. If no-one ever harmed the brambles in these moors, the brambles attack the snakes by throwing 1 per CT in the lake.
• Retreat cowardly.
