Let's not walk towards the evil city, even if it is hundreds of miles away. Go south.

You set a brisk pace for more than an hour but then the burning sun slows you down. Tanith, too, looks very weary. Your throat is parched. Neither you nor Tanith has seen a waterhole or anything that could yield nourishment or moisture and there has been no sign of any living creature. You are further disturbed by the sight of a lone figure heading towards you from the south. It is too distant for you to be able to distinguish any details, but it is moving at great speed. You peer into the shimmering heat and try to guess what it is that approaches.

Shall we stop and wait, keep on towards it, or try to avoid it?

For anyone who's interested, the new official Lone Wolf website is finally up and book 30 is available for pre-order. You can also get, for some reason, the collector's edition of book 23 and some other stuff. I'd have thought if you were doing reprints you'd want to start with book one, but sure, Mydnight's Hero was... a book in the Lone Wolf series.

C'mon guys, they just said we were in the middle of a demon-infested plain. Let's avoid whatever this is.

Boldly you head towards the distant figure.

�Take care, Grey Star,� Tanith cautions.

The distant figure runs with a curious, shambling gait. As you advance to meet it, your body tingling with apprehension, it comes to an abrupt halt. Several paces later you also stop dead in your tracks.

Standing before you is a squat, malformed creature. Its features are grotesque and distorted; its back is bent at an impossible angle; its limbs twist like a gnarled tree. The eyes stare out of a knuckled face at odd angles above a raw gash of a mouth that snarls and spits as you approach. The creature crouches low and then leaps at you. You raise your Staff in readiness but the attack does not materialize: the creature has disappeared! The creature is nowhere to be seen. You look at Tanith, a question half-formed on your lips.

�Some creature of Shasarak�s,� she states coolly. �Demons rule this land now, though once it was a place of untamed beauty. At his command it has become a realm of fear.�

You wonder if the creature has gone to warn others of its kind, or whether it simply fled in fear. Whatever the answer, one thing is certain: you must keep moving. You still have not located any food or water, and evening is drawing in.

Shall we turn to the east or continue south?

Let's head towards wherever the spooky ghost monster was coming from. Maybe there's more and we'll have an actual fight this book! South.

As the evening draws in, the temperature begins to cool. You are tired and thirsty. You have been heading in the direction of Lake Dolani but neither you nor Tanith has ever been to the Lissan Plain before and you are not sure of the lake�s exact location. You know only that it lies on the southern side of the plain. You are now unsure that you can reach it by nightfall. Looking to the west, you see a large building of square, tiered stone. It is approximately two miles away.

Shall we investigate the building or continue south?

As you approach the building, its huge size becomes apparent. It is a magnificent structure, a towering ziggurat. As you stand before it, you realize that it is very old. The stone is weathered and overgrown with weeds and the cornerstones have been worn to ragged curves by the wind. It looks deserted�an ideal place to shelter for the night if only you could find some water. Tanith walks up and examines a section of the wall. It is inscribed with symbols.

�This was once a building belonging to the Masbat� tribe,� she says. �They built it long ago.�

You listen with interest. The Masbat� were the original inhabitants of the Lissan Plain. The present-day king of the Masbat�, Samu, a noble and fearless warrior, accompanied you when you sought the Moonstone. But he was a king without a kingdom, for Shasarak slew all the Masbat�, unleashing the peril of a demon plague to roam the Lissan Plain. It is said that those demons roam the plain still. You find the existence of the building curious, for the Masbat� were a nomadic tribe, crossing the plain according to the seasons and the needs of their cattle. Why should they build anything so permanent?

Should we enter or leave?

A permanent structure is a big deal for a nomadic society, which probably means it�s really special, like a temple or a tomb

Mister Perky: Aug 2, 2010

A nomadic tribe builds a permanent structure? It's either a temple or a good water source they wanted to mark and secure. Possibly both.

Either way it's worth some good old fashioned archaeological plunder

You walk around the building but cannot find a water hole or stream. The west wall of the ziggurat bears a ten-foot high arch. The doors are made of stone.

�How are we to open these?� asks Tanith.

You guess that there must be some internal mechanism for opening the doors. They are certainly too heavy to be opened by hand.

Shall we use Prophecy to try to find the opening mechanism, Thaumaturgy to teleport inside, or neither?
