The Deck of Many Things (round 3)

One of the advantages of living in a time-zone a long way out from the Realms of Despair's servers is that reboot usually happens around 6-7pm depending on daylight saving my local time meaning I get a good run at once per day pop items. One of these is the Deck of Many Things. From my experiences it seems to pop in one of about 20 different locations and I like to have a little scout around in the areas I've seen it in. In this last week I managed to find it twice. The first time was in Morgul Vale. I didn't have much time to play around with it in case I got a card that sent me on a quest or killed me and scattered my equipment through the realms so I told a friend about it. He had a lucky pull and got detect traps added to an item as a result. This evening I had a little more time and found it in this room:

A Run-down House
Piles of clothes and personal effects lay scattered all over this house, making it look as though a tornado passed through the area recently.  The windows appear to be intact however, the roof appears to have been blown off by a dreadful force.  Dirty snow begins to trickle into the room.
Exits: east
The Deck of Many Things lies in wait for a brave soul.
The Deck of Many Things says 'If you can find a card within me, you might be lucky enough to draw something of value.
However, once you submit to chance, you put yourself at the mercy of the cards.
The Deck of Many Things winks suggestively.

I was prepared(well I thought I was) and pulled on my back up vampire Viledri for the following result:

>g card deck
You get a card from The Deck of Many Things.
You see that you have drawn the Page of Swords.
The martial young man depicted upon the card stirs and turns his gaze to regard you. The Page of Swords inclines his head in a slight bow, as if acknowledging an equal. The Page of Swords exclaims 'The chance is yours to win great honour this day. Fare thee well in the battle to come!
A Forest Clearing
This place has the outward appearance of a mundane forest clearing, floor swathed in lush green grass, sun dappling on the leaves, venerable oak trees all around, yet if one looks into the distance, reality starts to waver and blur. It seems this glade is a construct of the void, a stage created soley to serve as a setting for the fate decreed.
Exits: none
(Red Aura) A knight in full armour stands ready for battle.
A black knight shimmers beneath an aura of dark energy.
A black knight is suffused with a sparkling gold aura. 

So this resulted in me in a one on one battle with the black knight. Unfortunately I wasn't as prepared as I should have been - I didn't bring a create spring potion!!!

I attempted to fight the black knight as best I could on the vampire and was going quite well. I managed to get it down to several wounds before the following:

..Everything begins to fade to black.

You feel yourself leaving your body... rising up into the air, you feel
more free than you have ever felt before...

However, before your deity comes to collect your soul, you feel a strange
pulling sensation as strange and colorful mists swirl around you...

So the moral of this story is if you are going to pull a card from the deck of many things ensure you have heals, tank potions and a way to make a spring.
