I have to remind myself that the majority of these books are indeed winnable without a Skill of 12 When you say 'winnable' though, do you mean by that with a chance of victory as high as 20%?*

Book 25: Beneath Nightmare Castle
Try 4
Skill: 10 Stamina: 21 Luck: 11 Willpower: 10
This time I found bothe the potion of beserk rage and the Trident of Skarloth and the Talisman of Loth so when I made it back to Xakhaz I easily beat him. It was a very fun book and one of the truly enjoyable new ones from this playthrought like Talisman of Death and Rebel Planet. Loved it.
Victory!

Book 26: Crypt of the Sorcerer Try 1
So I thought as I picked the book up, that lets start this off with a good run, maybe I can even get to Razaak. I picked up the dice to roll my stats. I rolled one dice for skill. A 1. Need I say more. (If anyone wants to know I rolled a 3 for stamina and another 1 for luck. I did not start of well.)
Defeat!

Book 26: Crypt of the Sorcerer
Try 2
Skill:11 Stamina:19 Luck:10
Determined to better after the absymal failure of try 1 I set of. I have long since memorised Crypt as I enjoy flicking through it as I love the locations and pictures. I relatively easily made it all the way to Razaak and he smashed me. I was depressed at thinking how hard it would be to win through so I decided to replay the fight as if the Defender and Armour added to initial and I won with Razaak only getting 3 hits on me and none in a row. I was already kinda bored at how it had taken me over 2 hours to playthrough despite knowing it of by heart I decided that I would leave it at that. I am not the type to stick so close to the rules that I would lose my sanity.
Sort of Victory!
