The fight

Mechanics

She attacks with three hits rolled against your melee defence, and if one misses the rest miss too.

Getting hit freezes your hands and makes you miss attacks. Stand in the sun symbol that circles her, or you take growing damage. After six attacks she alternates two specials. One locks your weapon in ice, and you punch it out on Eyatlalli's glyph while dodging spikes. The other is a frost storm that puts out both braziers. Relight them while avoiding the storms. She heals during it, 10 health per unlit brazier.

Which style: Weapons that hit several times, because of her flat -5 armour. Wind spells do 15% extra.
