Well, Salamonis lies to the northwest, which is in the direction where Fang is, so we can head there first... The great southern walled city of Salamonis is the capital of the kingdom of the same name, and controls all trade into the fertile Vale of Willow. Ruled by the wise King Salamon LVII, its m...

Drinking the potion... You open the bottle and drain its contents. Luckily for you it really is a Potion of Fortune! You feel edgy and fortuitous – restore your LUCK to its Initial level. Remember to cross the Potion of Fortune off your Adventure Sheet . Now return to the paragraph number you were o...

I will proceed with buying the Potions of Fortune and Strength, since they received 2 votes. You and your horde have braved Trolltooth Pass and its potentially menacing distractions. The canyons echo eerily with your fading footfalls as you leave its claustrophobic confines far behind. Nearby, distu...

Trolltooth Pass is the true gateway to Allansia, connecting the Windward Plain to the Flatlands, and bordered by the Moonstone Hills to the north and the Craggen Heights to the south. It is a dangerous place, only three leagues across at its narrowest point, and dotted with the ghost-haunted ruins ...

Out of ideas where to go next? We've been to every area on the area at least once. To sum up: Fang: No more places interests left after Deathtrap Dungeon, but can get taxes and rest there (and slight chance of rebellion). Zengis: Destroyed. Nothing left for us unless we decide to spend cash on rebui...

You enter the stone circle and offer your prayers to the Ancestors, abasing yourself before the altar. You seek their help for your upcoming crusade against the enemies of your Tribe so that you may smite the servile and decadent into oblivion and grind their bones underfoot. To see if the Ancestor...

The Ancestors’ Shrine is an ancient rune-inscribed stone circle that has stood in this part of the Flatlands since time immemorial. Inside the circle is a large altar for the spirits of your Ancestors, as well as smaller altars for other gods, such as Gurrang the Bear God and Almor, Lord of Wolves....

(Where does it say it gets a free hit if we escape?) It's the standard rule when we flee from any combat, as I posted on the first page. You and your horde have braved Trolltooth Pass and its potentially menacing distractions. The canyons echo eerily with your fading footfalls as you leave its clau...

You and your horde bid farewell to the fey leafy wilderness that is the Forest of Spiders. By the lucky ears of Almor, none of your warriors fell victim to either the shape-shifting Elves or the devious Tree Spirits rumoured to lurk in its cursed glades of doom. Nharog’s eyes are bright with excite...

You and your horde are leaving behind the pocket-sized kingdom of Chalice and its surrounding fields of corn and maize. The soil here is fertile and you marvel at the peasants’ devotion to their crops, whereas you and your warriors would much rather go out hunting saiga and steppes-bison. "The...

It's not confirmed whether you can head to Trolltooth pass from Forest of Spiders, since we'd not visited that place before, but we wouldn't know until we go there... Darkwood Forest is a primordial stretch of woodland whose green depths conceal all manner of hidden terrors. If you have the Code wor...

The lone, jagged crag of Firetop Mountain looms above the eastern edges of the Pagan Plains, its summit stained the eerie red colour that gives the peak its name. Several small insignificant hamlets cluster in the dales at the base of the mountain; their peasant inhabitants cower in their hovels as...

You stagger out into the sunlight to the cheers of your men and the disbelieving stares of the violet-clad Trialmasters. You have survived Deathtrap Dungeon! For this feat you may add both 1 HONOUR point and 1 to your LUCK score. Also add the Code word Champion to the Code words box on your Adventu...

The corridor travels some way north and ends at a pit full of what appears to be bubbling yellow slime. It smells appalling! On the other side of the pit is the exit from Deathtrap Dungeon, through which you can see sunshine and blue sky. To get across the pit you are going to have to sprint and ju...

The passage you are following meets another coming from the opposite direction at a point where a third corridor heads north. Reasoning that the passage straight ahead will likely lead back to the entrance, you turn and trudge north, flickering glowstones fitfully lighting your way. Turn to 191. Th...

The hallway ends in a large square chamber whose floor is covered in bones, all of which appear to have been deposited by several chutes in the ceiling. Another passageway heads east. If you wish to search through the bones , Test your Luck . If you are Lucky, turn to 35. If you are Unlucky, turn t...

You step gingerly on the blue tile, but nothing happens! Hopping from blue tile to blue tile, you enter the northern corridor. The corridor heads north, entering a pillared hallway with a high ceiling. This suits its inhabitant, a three-metre-tall humanoid with grey skin and silvery eyes, clad in a...

After a while the western corridor enters a small stone-walled chamber whose floor is covered with a mosaic of large red and blue glazed tiles. There is another corridor leaving the room from the north wall. If you wish to get to it by stepping on a blue tile to your left , turn to 73. If you wish ...

(And, c'mon, we own the town, and we've got a horde of barbarians, we can all come in if we want) I think Nharog may be saying that the tribe doesn't want to enter it, similar to how they didn't want to come into Firetop Mountain with is. As you enter Deathtrap Dungeon, one of the Trialmasters says...

Empty box If the box is ticked, Deathtrap Dungeon has been boarded up with bamboo screens and you are unable to enter. Turn back to 46. If the box is not ticked, read on below. The entrance to Deathtrap Dungeon is a dark tunnel-mouth disappearing into the inner depths of a looming hillside. Two gre...

I realized that I forgot to factor in the combat bonuses we got from the equipment we bought at Trolltooth Pass during the ninja combat. Unfortunately, even with the extra bonus from the Horned Helmet, we still could not have avoided that one hit we took from the ninja. What I can do, however, is to...

The strange eastern city of Zengis is capital of the barony of Kaypong and lies on the banks of the River Kok, near the looted ruins of the ancient city of Gar-Goldoran. If you have the Code word Overlord , turn to 138. If you have the Code word Slayer, turn to 123. Zengis is at the centre of the g...

You call a Tribal Moot, a grand feast for all, and during the festival you stand on the sacred Stone of Summoning in the middle of the camp and launch into a thundering speech on the glories of becoming warriors in your battle-horde. "Join me, brothers and sisters, as we lay waste to the stink...

"As wide as the Flatlands!" is what an Allansian would say to denote a vast distance, and this certainly applies to these grassy steppes that stretch from the Moonstone Hills in the west all the way to the Sea of Pearls in the far east. Here in the western part of the Flatlands, the monot...

You and your horde are leaving Zengis and the eastern Allansian province of Kaypong. Its willow-clad riverbanks and bambooshrouded foothills are picturesque, but perhaps too peaceful. Could greater glory lie elsewhere? "Look lively, lads!" says Nharog. "Heads high and axes low!"...
