Good day everyone! Here is a small guide with tips on how to win a combat encounter against Ida and her crew in a basement, after she robbed you.

1) At the beginning of a game do not loot places outside castle walls and in the castle basement.
2) Use Fig and Sanctifier (by throwing petard in a castle well) on Matej, in order to reach 14 tools, so he would be able cast Bless twice.
3) After you talk with the burgmaster, equip Pavol with the best stuff. Matej needs only a sword and a leather cap.
4) Do not forget to visit a tavern and talk with a barman. He will give you 4 bottles of wine.
5) Go to a thieves hideout in a forest, go down and save your game here. Appy sour cream (you should have at least 2 from looting previous locations) on both characters. Pray for good rng and initiate battle.
6) First thing first - focus on Ida herself or one of her minor goons. Use half swording and cleave. Do not use shield bash - you need to inflict as much damage as possible. On second turn use Bless and keep Pavol alive with consumables. Do not forget to use defense, when possible.

Following these instructions, with a little bit of luck you would prevail!

As a reward, you will get 100 crowns and some random loot - mostly stats boosting consumables and / or pieces of armor.
