1. Roll one die to determine the number of pitfiends that appear and attack you.
2. Fight the fiends in a battle of strength one at a time until you’ve defeated all the fiends or are defeated yourself.
3. If you are defeated, you lose one life and your turn ends. On your next turn, you must confront the remaining pitfiends again or turn back.
If it’s a tie, you don’t lose a life but your turn ends. On your next turn, you must confront the pitfiends again or turn back.
If you defeat the pitfiends, your turn ends. If you have a Talisman, you may move forward on your next turn. If you do not have a Talisman, you must turn back.
