I was not in combat.  I walked in and when Altariel attacked I was instantly dirt kicked, and my harp went off before I could remove the harp for my bagpipes.

You follow Altariel north.
Standing Before the Fortress of Light 
  The Fortress of Light rises before you, standing strong and proud in a
mantle of snow and ice.  The thick walls of this fortress are built of huge,
perfectly cut, white stones fitted tightly together.  The stones along the
base of the fortress are enormous, taller than any giant and more massive
than most houses.  Pennants flying above the watchtowers rustle and flap
defiantly in the chill winds.  The huge gate of polished silver is guarded
by a lone figure.
 
[Exits: north south]
Altariel exudes perfection with her calculated gaze and pristine armament.
