		Pre-Battle Description
		Legend has it that the entrance to the Crypts of Alet Zhav is through a coffin-bottom, in the Black Mausoleum of Nazg Hodeth. A pall of unnatural gloom lies upon the bone-yard, and as you approach the mausoleum, the ground erupts! Zombies, fresh from the earth and emitting tortured groans, shamble forward to attack!
		Post-Battle Description
		All is quiet in the bone-yard after your victory. You leave the zombies to rot in peace, you hope for good this time...

		Pre-Battle Description
		Having dispatched the graveyard zombies, you slowly open the door to the Black Mausoleum. If the rumors are true, the stairway down to the crypts lies in the bottom of a large coffin. But no sooner have you stepped inside than a pair of armored skeletons unsheathe their swords and rattle their bones menacingly...
		Post-Battle Description
		The armored skeletons lie shattered, their grinning skulls shattered by your weapons and spells. Now the stairway to the under crypts yawns like a black mouth ready to swallow you...

			Pre-Battle Description
			The stairway beneath the coffin is narrow, the walls slick with slime. It winds downward into the black crypts, before emptying abruptly into a large high-vaulted foyer. It appears that some undead inhabitants of the crypts, despite being long-dead, have arrived to greet you.
			Post-Battle Description
			Skeletons that trouble the living are bad enough, but you hope you've seen the last of undead clad in armor...

		Pre-Battle Description
		Adjacent to the Burning Temple is a large sepulcher of particular opulence. A plaque above the door proclaims this to be the resting place of the famous gigantic warrior Tvericus. Perhaps disturbed by the commotion next door, the fleshless Tvericus has risen to his feet, accompanied by an animated honor guard. He roars in anger at your brazen trespass.
		Post-Battle Description
		The hulking Tvericus has now been put down a second time, but though you've done the world a service, he was not your quarry...Alet Zhav seems to have eluded your grasp for the time being. Nevertheless, you help yourself to his treasure!
Hints
Tvericus has the typical skeletal defensive card Only Bones. Blunt weapons or ample armor removal is advised. Tvericus' deck also has the handicap card Large Weapon. Luring him near blocking terrain while this is active will make roughly half his attacks miss for two turns. The map itself has a lot of difficult terrain that can be used to help slow the movement of Tvericus and the skeletons. Tvericus has fairly limited move cards, so slows and halts may allow ranged attacks to whittle him down.
