RULES OF THE GAME
Skill, Stamina and Luck posted:
Before embarking on your adventure, you must first determine your own strengths and weaknesses.
Roll one die. Add 6 to this number and enter this total in the Skill box on the Adventure Sheet. Your skill score reflects your swordmanship and general fighting expertise - the higher, the better.
Roll both dice. Add 12 to the number rolled and enter this total in the Stamina box. Your Stamina score reflects your general constitution, your will to survive, your determination and overall fitness - the higher your Stamina score, the longer you will be able to survive.
There is also a Luck box. Roll one die, add 6 to the number and enter this total in the Luck box. Your Luck score indicates how naturally lucky a person you are. Luck - and magic - are facts of life in the fantasy world you are about to explore.]
Single Combat posted:
You will often come across pages in the book which instruct you to fight a creature of some sort. You must resolve the battle as described below.
1. Roll two dice for the creature. Add its Skill score. This total is the creature's Attack Strength.
2. Roll two dice for yourself. Add your current Skill. This total is your Attack Strength.
3. If your Attack Strength is higher, you have wounded the creature. If the creature's Attack Strength is higher, it has wounded you. If both are the same, you have both missed - start the next Attack Round from step 1 above.
4. If you wounded the creature, subtract 2 points from its Stamina score. You may use Luck here to do additional damage - see "Using Luck in Battles" below.
5. If the creature wounded you, subtract 2 points from your Stamina score. You may use Luck to minimise the damage - see "Using Luck in Battles" below.
6. Make the appropriate changes to either the creature's or your own Stamina scores (and your Luck score if you used Luck) and begin the next Attack Round (repeat Steps 1-6).
7. This continues until the Stamina score of either you or the creature you are fighting has been reduced to zero.
Battles posted:
Unlike other Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks, you are not alone all the time on this adventure. You command an army of soldiers made up of units of various races. You start your expedition with Dwarves, Elves, Warriors and Knights, and others will join your army during the course of the adventure.
Soldiers killed in battles are always lost in blocks of five, and if more than one race is engaged in a battle, you may choose which ones are lost. For example, if you have employed Dwarves and Knights against Goblins and receive 15 casualties, you may lose 15 Dwarves, or 15 Knights, or 10 Dwarfs and 5 Knights, or 5 Dwarfs and 10 Knights. Soldiers lost in ways other than in battle are deducted in the same way.
From time to time on your adventure, you will fight Skirmish Battles. To fight a Skirmish Battle, follow the combat sequence below.
1. Make a note of the number of your troops, not including yourself.
2. Make a note of the number of enemy troops.
3. Compare the size of the two armies and assess the situation. If the number of your troops is equal to the number of enemy troops, the situation would be "Even". If the number of your troops is less than the number of enemy troops, the situation would be "Inferior". If the number of your troops is greater than the number of enemy troops, the situation would be "Superior".
4. Roll one die and see what figure is given in the Skirmish Battle Results Table below for the appropriate Situation column.
Die Roll = 1
If "Inferior" - Lose 15 of your own troops
If "Even" - Lose 10 of your own troops
If "Superior" - Lose 5 of your own troops
Die Roll = 2
If "Inferior" - Lose 10 of your own troops
If "Even" - Lose 5 of your own troops
If "Superior" - Kill 5 enemy troops
Die Roll = 3
If "Inferior" - Lose 5 of your own troops
If "Even" - Lose 5 of your own troops
If "Superior" - Kill 5 enemy troops
Die Roll = 4
If "Inferior" - Lose 10 of your own troops
If "Even" - Kill 5 enemy troops
If "Superior" - Kill 5 enemy troops
Die Roll = 5
If "Inferior" - Kill 5 enemy troops
If "Even" - Kill 5 enemy troops
If "Superior" - Kill 10 enemy troops
Die Roll = 6
If "Inferior" - Kill 5 enemy troops
If "Even" - Kill 10 enemy troops
If "Superior" - Kill 15 enemy troops
5. Deduct the number of troops lost from either the enemy army or your own army.
6. If troops remain alive on both sides, return to step 1 or 2, adjusting the number of troops for the side that has just incurred losses.
7. If your own troops are wiped out, you too will have perished in battle.
Fighting More Than One Creature posted:
If you come across more than one creature in a particular encounter, the instructions on that page will tell you how to handle the battle. Sometimes you will treat them as a single opponent; sometimes you will fight each one in turn.
Luck posted:
At various times during your adventure, either in battles or when you come across situations in which you could either be lucky or unlucky (details of these are given on the pages themselves), you may call on your Luck to make the outcome more favourable. But beware! Using Luck is a risky business, and if you are unlucky, the results could be disastrous.
The procedure for using your Luck is as follows: roll two dice. If the number rolled is equal to or less than your current Luck score, you have been lucky and the result will go in your favour. If the number rolled is higher than your current Luck score, you have been unlucky and you will be penalised.
This procedure is known as "Testing your Luck". Each time you Test your Luck, you must subtract 1 point from your current Luck score. Thus you will soon realise that the more you rely on your Luck, the more risky this will become.
Using Luck in Battles posted:
On certain pages of the book, you will be told to Test your Luck and will be told of the consequences of your being lucky or unlucky. However, in battles, you always have the option of using your Luck either to inflict a more serious wound on the creature you have just wounded, or to minimise the effects of a wound the creature has just inflicted on you.
If you have just wounded the creature, you may Test your Luck as described above. If you are Lucky, you have inflicted a severe wound and may subtract an extra 2 points from the creature's Stamina score. However, if you are Unlucky, the wound was a mere graze and you must restore 1 point to the creature's Stamina (i.e. instead of scoring the usual 2 points of damage, you have now scored only 1).
If the creature has just wounded you, you may Test your Luck to try to minimise the wound. If you are Lucky, you have managed to avoid the full damage of the blow. Restore 1 point of Stamina (i.e. instead of doing 2 points of damage, it has done only 1). If you are Unlucky, you have taken a more serious blow. Subtract 1 extra Stamina point.
Remember that you must subtract 1 point from your Luck score every time you Test your Luck.

Background posted:
Fame and fortune are two things which most adventurers crave and, having survived Baron Sukumvit's infamous Deathtrap Dungeon, you now have both. It was thought impossible for anybody to battle their way successfully through the deadly dungeon in Fang, which was protected by the Baron's cunning Trialmasters. Yet somehow you survived and claimed the purse of 20,000 Gold Pieces in the Trial of Champions.
Now, wherever you walk in Fang, you are cheered, and in the taverns where you drink, people ask you about your perilous journey through the dungeon. "Was there a Bone Devil in the dungeon?"... "Did you see the beautiful Siren?"... "How did you overcome the Liche Queen?"... "What does a Coldclaw look like?"... "What is the colour of a Mutant Orc's blood?" Everybody is in awe of you and wants to know all about the evil dungeon.
But the constant attention soon becomes tiring and you resolve to set off on another quest as soon as possible. Besides, there is a new threat to Allansia which is gathering strength in the east. Before you set off, you decide to spend some of your hard-earned prize money, and you commission a small castle to be built for you on the south bank of the River Kok while you are away.
With the remaining 6,000 Gold Pieces, you decide to hire soldiers to make an army! Recently there have been sightings of a large number of Orcs and Goblins in the Forest of Fiends. There is a rumour that their leader is Agglax the Shadow Demon.
A Shadow Demon, as everybody who is anybody knows, is a servant of the Demon Princes and a commander of the Legions of the Damned. Since their banishment to the Void after the First Battle of Titan, however, the Demon Princes were thought to have been banished forever.
And yet one of their servants is reported to have been seen. This tale comes from an old scavenger calling himself Drek, who discovered a ruined temple near Zengis. Scratching around in the dirt in search of anything he might be able to sell, Drek found a black clay pot, corked and sealed with black wax. His curiosity proved too much for him and he broke the pot on a stone, hoping that it might contain gold or jewels. But his excitement soon turned to terror at the sight of what happened next.
As soon as the black pot broke apart, Drek was deafened by the most hideous and evil cry that he had ever heard in his life. Slowly a mist started to form, growing ever larger and darker, until it coalesced in the shape of a black robe wrapped around a body that was invisible save only for two pulsating, blood-red eyes. Drek screamed in total fear, but the Shadow Demon he had released simply turned and disappeared. The chaos-spawn was to grow again on Titan.
On the strength of Drek's story, you post recruitment notices all over Fang.
The honour of fighting alongside someone of your renown - with the added bonus of payment in gold - draws a long line of hopeful warriors outside the tavern where you intend to hire your soldiers. Many are alone, others come in groups, but all are eager to sign up. Some tell of old adventures, others of monsters slain.
You recognise the qualities you seek, and before nightfall your troops are chosen. Not knowing what dangers you will face, you decide not to hire all the warriors who have come, so as to have some gold left for the journey. You count the commission sheets and confirm that you have hired 100 Warriors, 50 Dwarves, 50 Elven Archers and 20 Knights.
In the morning, you buy food, provisions and baggage mules. When everything is paid for, you are left with 700 Gold Pieces which you put in a wooden chest and strap to one of the mules.
You make your way to the town square where your small army is assembled. Each unit leader is handed a yellow banner with the symbol of a burning sword emblazoned across it. To the cheers of the citizens of Fang, you lead your army out through the east gate towards an unknown and deadly foe.
NOW TURN TO SECTION 1.

Section 1 posted:
You have marched no more than two hundred yards when a fat, bearded man, huffing and puffing, runs up alongside you. He is dressed as a sea captain, although his uniform is dirty and crumpled, and his grubby hat is dented.
"Begging your pardon," gasps the captain, "but would you listen to my offer? I have just docked my ship in Fang and found everybody full of excitement. It seems that you are the cause of it. They tell me that you are traveling east to fight some demon or something. Well, I don't know about any demons, but I'm willing to take you and your men on my ship as far as Zengis - for a small consideration, of course. Just think of all those miles you won't have to walk! Sail up the River Kok in Captain Barnock's good ship Flying Toucan."
"And only 50 Gold Pieces am I asking for this luxury passage. Now, that's a bargain, is it not?" says the old sea-dog.
Question A
If you wish to sail on the Flying Toucan, turn to Section 37.
If you would rather continue marching, turn to Section 225.
Question B
Regardless of whether or not you accept Captain Barnock's offer, you proudly inform him that you are the renowned Champion of Deathtrap Dungeon, [INSERT NAME HERE].

Two hundred and fifty men on a single boat? I don't see that going well. These boots were made for marching. Bob the Bold so decrees!
Two hundred and twenty. We start with 20 knights, not 50. I've fixed the typo in my post above.

You take the ring and place it on your little finger because of its small size. Suddenly the Elf begins to laugh, but it is a sinister laugh. She starts to tug at her ears and you watch her peel the skin forward off her face, to reveal a hideous skull with green, blood-veined eyes.
She drops the mask on the floor and steps towards you, mouth wide open. You try to draw your sword, but find yourself unable to move. With terrible ferocity, she starts to bite at your throat, as is the way of a Trickster Hag. Your adventure is over.

Do everything the same as the last guy, then rush into the hut so she gets skewered on the sword.
And then she'll turn out to have been a genuine Elf Maiden that time, because screw you, that's why.

The old wooden door is stiff, and you have to put your shoulder to it to open it. As the door flies open, you hear the piercing scream of a female voice and are startled by what you see.
A young elf is tied to the top of a table, which is bolted to the floor in the middle of the rubbish-strewn hut.
Two yards above her stomach hangs a sword, suspended by a single thread of cotton which is looped over the end of an iron spike. The iron spike in turn protrudes horizontally from a wooden beam leading down into a hole in the rickety floorboards.
"Don't move!" shouts the elf. "One of the floorboards will trigger the release of the sword if you step on it!"
You have to decide whether or not to save the elf.
Will you:
Run in to grab the sword? Turn to Section 154.
Throw your backpack at the sword? Turn to Section 205.
Leave the Elf and march on? Turn to Section 320.
Section 205 posted:
Taking careful aim, you hurl your backpack at the sword, hoping to knock it safely on to the floor.
Roll two dice.
If the number rolled is the same as or less than your Skill, turn to Section 5.
If the number rolled is greater than your Skill, turn to Section 306.
Section 306 posted:
The backpack just misses the sword, crashes into the far wall and lands on the floor. The impact tilts one of the floorboards forwards and releases the cotton holding the sword.
The sword drops straight down on to the Elf but, to your surprise, merely bounces off her stomach.
"Untie me," she begs, "and I will explain!"
If you wish to untie her, turn to Section 243.
If you would rather leave this strange Elf, retrieve your backpack and rejoin your men outside, turn to Section 320.
