Thanks for the replies. the scenario that occurred was that I landed on the space on the middle region where you draw 3 cards. The 3 cards were a Demon (craft 10), a Wraith (craft 3?) and a dragon (strength 7). Yikes? You bet!
So I took them on separately by combat type. The dragon by strength and the others by combined craft. Beta the dragon but had no hope vs the others combined.
I did't take into account their encounter numbers.
