Summon Drakes
Summon Drakes is a monster-only spell which summons several of the following reptiles into existence:
- Death drake (24%)
- Fire drake (24%)
- Komodo dragon (20%)
- Swamp drake (20%)
- Mottled dragon (1.5%)
- Lindwurm (1.5%)
- Storm dragon (1.5%)
- Steam dragon (1.5%)
- Dragon (1.5%)
- Ice dragon (1.5%)
- Swamp dragon (1.5%)
- Shadow dragon (1.5%)
Fortunately, you only encounter this spell in the late game, at which point most of these monsters are individually not terribly dangerous. However, they can slow you, rot you,sicken you, confuse you, and burn your scrolls, and you usually end up having to face a variety of them at once along with the summoner himself (and any other draconians he may be traveling with). As a general rule, try to kill off the caller first in any encounter to keep things simple. If he's already started summoning allies, base your actions off of your resistances; most players will want to prevent rot or confusion above all else. Just remember that killing off the summons will be pointless if the summoner just keeps calling in reinforcements.
