A violent murderer who kills for both pleasure and profit, Terence has been forced into hiding after a botched job. There's a price on his head, and he can't afford to leave anyone who sees him alive!

“A MAN committed a murder, and was pursued by the relations of the man whom he murdered. On his reaching the river Nile he saw a Lion on its bank and being fearfully afraid, climbed up a tree. He found a serpent in the upper branches of the tree, and again being greatly alarmed, he threw himself into the river, where a crocodile caught him and ate him. Thus the earth, the air, and the water alike refused shelter to a murderer.”
-Aesop, _The Manslayer_. 6th century BCE.

Useful Info

Terence the Incautious is a weak unique human fighter, likely one of the first uniques you will encounter and much less deadly than Sigmund. He occasionally generates with a good wand, but should not pose much of a threat otherwise. Disable him with your own wands or soften him up with throwing weapons if you don't want to risk him getting a lucky hit in, but you can probably beat him without getting damaged much regardless.

Tips & Tricks

  • Don't be so overconfident that you attack him while wounded. Take him out safely once you've recovered to full health and collect that cheap XP.
