***********************************************

Come qualcuno di voi si ricorderà, un paio di anni fa abbiamo giocato i primi 3 libri de "I Guerrieri della Strada" di Joe Dever sulle pagine di uein; il Let's Play si è poi arenato quando un cambio di lavoro mi ha impedito di proseguire (a metà del 3° libro, appunto) e le gesta di Spam Wolfenix, Guerriero della Strada, sono destinate a rimanere incompiute (dato che i libri sono rimasti in Italia).

Ora che ho nuovamente un impiego che mi consente di accedere a Wayne, potremmo però portare avanti LA saga di Joe Dever: Lupo Solitario.

Ma una cosa per volta; per chi non ha idea di cosa stiamo parlando, ecco una breve introduzione ai Libri Game, a Lupo Solitario e a "Come funziona un Let's Play"; nonchè la base che rende tutto questo legale per uein.

COS'E' UN LIBRO GAME?

Questo genere fu principalmente popolare negli anni ottanta.[3]

Nello specifico, Lupo Solitario rientra nella categoria di Libri Game dotati di una corpulenta componente RPG: non solo guideremo il nostro eroe nelle sue scelte, ma dovremo scegliere come "slivellare" (acquistando nuove abilità), troveremo mirabolanti oggetti magici e combatteremo nemici più o meno letali.

COS'E' LUPO SOLITARIO?
Non credo che questa serie di Libri Game abbia bisogno di molte presentazioni, data la sua immensa popolarità quando eravamo regazzini. In ogni caso, per chi se lo fosse perso, Lupo Solitario è una sorta di "Jedi Fantasy": fa parte di un antico ordine di monaci guerrieri dotati di incredibile perizia marziale, poteri mentali e abilità sovraumane in lotta con poteri malefici e soprannaturali (e si trova per motivi che vedremo a breve *SPOILER* ad essere l'ultimo del suo ordine).

COME FUNZIONA UN LET'S PLAY DI UN LIBRO GAME?
Molto semplicemente, uno dei partecipanti (io) posta le sezioni del libro che gli altri partecipanti (voi) scelgono di esplorare. Ogni volta che si presenta una scelta (ES: se vuoi andare a destra, vai a pagina 123; se vuoi andare a sinistra, vai a pagina 456; se vuoi mangiarti un panino, vai a pagina 789) lascerò un certo quantitativo di tempo per votare. Non è necessario partecipare assiduamente o votare in ogni scelta: semplicemente, chi vuole (quando vuole) può partecipare alle decisioni. L'idea è ammazzare del tempo in ufficio. Per lo stesso motivo, gli update saranno frequenti (qualche volta al giorno), ma non immediati - a meno che non ci sia una partecipazione massiccia e sia evidente la volontà popolare di "andare avanti".

DETTO QUESTO, TRE POSTILLE
1) Siamo qui per divertirci: se qualcuno proprio non può astenersi dal fare spoiler, è pregato di usare l'apposito tag;
2) Il testo è in inglese. Questo perchè la scorsa volta dovevo scansionare a mano i libri game, hostare le scansioni e, in generale, diventare matto con la formattazione; questo non è possibile, oltretutto, dove lavoro adesso...quindi prenderò il testo gia formattato direttamente da ProjectAon. Il che ci porta a
3) Project Aon è un sito su cui sono hostati gratuitamente e per uso pubblico numerosi libri di Joe Dever - che nella sua magnificenza, ha deciso di renderli utilizzabili da chiunque voglia. La licenza d'uso è disponibile qui: http://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/License

Choose your skills and your weapons carefully—for they can help you succeed in the most fantastic and terrifying journey of your life.

THE STORY SO FAR...

Originally Posted by The Story So Far

In the northern land of Sommerlund, it has been the custom for many centuries to send the children of the Warrior Lords to the monastery of Kai. There they are taught the skills and disciplines of their noble fathers.

The Kai monks are masters of their art, and the children in their charge love and respect them in spite of the hardships of their training. For one day when they have finally learnt the secret skills of the Kai, they will return to their homes equipped in mind and body to defend themselves against the constant threat of war from the Darklords of the west.

In olden times, during the Age of the Black Moon, the Darklords waged war on Sommerlund. The conflict was a long and bitter trial of strength that ended in victory for the Sommlending at the great battle of Maakengorge. King Ulnar and the allies of Durenor broke the Darklord armies at the pass of Moytura and forced them back into the bottomless abyss of Maakengorge. Vashna, mightiest of the Darklords, was slain upon the sword of King Ulnar, called ‘Sommerswerd’, the sword of the sun. Since that age, the Darklords have vowed vengeance upon Sommerlund and the House of Ulnar.

Now it is in the morning of the feast of Fehmarn, when all of the Kai Lords are present at the monastery for the celebrations. Suddenly a great black cloud comes from out of the western skies. So many are the numbers of the black-winged beasts that fill the sky, that the sun is completely hidden. The Darklords, ancient enemy of the Sommlending are attacking. War has begun.

On this fateful morning, you, Silent Wolf (the name given to you by the Kai) have been sent to collect firewood in the forest as a punishment for your inattention in class. As you are preparing to return, you see to your horror a vast cloud of black leathery creatures swoop down and engulf the monastery.

Dropping the wood, you race to the battle that has already begun. But in the unnatural dark, you stumble and strike your head on a low tree branch. As you lose consciousness, the last thing that you see in the poor light are the walls of the monastery crashing to the ground.

Many hours pass before you awake. With tears in your eyes you now survey the scene of destruction. Raising your face to the clear sky, you swear vengeance on the Darklords for the massacre of the Kai warriors, and with a sudden flash of realization you know what you must do. You must set off on a perilous journey to the capital city to warn the King of the terrible threat that now faces his people. For you are now the last of the Kai—you are now the Lone Wolf.

LE REGOLE

Spoiler

Questo è il corpo delle regole del libro; il tutto è abbastanza semplice ma, allo stesso tempo, abbastanza ampio rispetto alla media degli altri Libri Game. Le caratteristiche principali della scheda di Lupo Solitario sono:
- Abilità di Combattimento (COMBAT SKILL, CS): determina quanto il nostro eroe è abile a menare le mani. La nostra CS viene confrontata con quella del nostro nemico (o gruppo di nemici), e questo ci da un Modificatore di Combattimento (COMBAT RATING, CR); tirando un dado da 10, in base al CR, scopriremo l'esito di ogni round di combattimento (è più facile fatto che spiegato, in ogni caso!).
- Resistenza (ENDURANCE POINTS, EP): i punti ferita. Se scendono a 0, si muore.
- Discipline Kai (KAI DISCIPLINES): i nostri poteri Jedi! All'inizio del primo libro ne conosciamo 5 da una lista di 10. All'inizio di ogni nuovo libro ne scegliamo un'altra; inoltre le discipline guadagnano ulteriori poteri ad ogni libro (quindi anche quelle che abbiamo gia appreso diventano più potenti).
- Inventario: si divide in Armi (2 slot), Borsello (fino a 50 Corone d'Oro), Zaino (fino a 8 oggetti "normali"), Oggetti Speciali (fino a 12 oggetti "speciali").

E' ORA DI SCEGLIERE!
Prima di iniziare a giocare, dobbiamo personalizzare il nostro Lupo Solitario!

COMBAT SKILL E ENDURANCE POINT
I nostri punteggi di CS e EP sarebbero normalmente determinati casualmente, ovvero:
CS= 10+1d10 (10 vale 0)
EP= 20+1d10 (10 vale 0)
In alternativa, possiamo prendere dei punteggi "prefatti", ovvero:
- 15 CS, 25 EP
- 13 CS, 29 EP
- 17 CS, 21 EP

DISCIPLINE KAI
Come detto sopra, iniziamo il gioco con 5 di queste discipline! Votate!

Spoiler

Quote:

---

Over the centuries, the Kai monks have mastered the skills of the warrior. These skills are known as the Kai Disciplines, and they are taught to all Kai Lords. You have learnt only five of the skills listed below. The choice of which five skills these are, is for you to make. As all of the Disciplines may be of use to you at some point on your perilous quest, pick your five with care. The correct use of a Discipline at the right time can save your life.

When you have chosen your five Disciplines, enter them in the Kai Disciplines section of your Action Chart.

Camouflage
This Discipline enables a Kai Lord to blend in with his surroundings. In the countryside, he can hide undetected among trees and rocks and pass close to an enemy without being seen. In a town or city, it enables him to look and sound like a native of that area, and can help him to find shelter or a safe hiding place.

Hunting
This skill ensures that a Kai Lord will never starve in the wild. He will always be able to hunt for food for himself except in areas of wasteland and desert. The skill also enables a Kai Lord to be able to move stealthily when stalking his prey.

Sixth Sense
This skill may warn a Kai Lord of imminent danger. It may also reveal the true purpose of a stranger or strange object encountered in your adventure.

Tracking
This skill enables a Kai Lord to make the correct choice of a path in the wild, to discover the location of a person or object in a town or city and to read the secrets of footprints or tracks.

Healing
This Discipline can be used to restore ENDURANCE points lost in combat. If you possess this skill you may restore 1 ENDURANCE point to your total for every numbered section of the book you pass through in which you are not involved in combat. (This is only to be used after your ENDURANCE has fallen below its original level.) Remember that your ENDURANCE cannot rise above its original level.

Weaponskill
Upon entering the Kai Monastery, each initiate is taught to master one type of weapon. If Weaponskill is to be one of your Kai Disciplines, pick one of the following weapons: dagger, sword, spear, axe, mace, short sword, quarterstaff, warhammer, broad sword . This is the weapon in which you have skill. When you enter combat carrying this weapon, you add 2 points to your COMBAT SKILL.

The fact that you are skilled with a weapon does not mean you set out on the adventure carrying that particular weapon. However, you will have opportunities to acquire weapons in the course of your adventures. If you pick the axe, you are lucky enough to be skilled in the one weapon Lone Wolf is carrying from the start of the adventure. (This will be explained fully in the Equipment section.)

Mindshield
The Darklords and many of the evil creatures in their command have the ability to attack you using their Mindforce. The Kai Discipline of Mindshield prevents you from losing any ENDURANCE points when subjected to this form of attack.

Mindblast
This enables a Kai Lord to attack an enemy using the force of his mind. It can be used at the same time as normal combat weapons and adds two extra points to your COMBAT SKILL. Not all the creatures encountered on this adventure will be harmed by Mindblast. You will be told if a creature is immune.

Animal Kinship
This skill enables a Kai Lord to communicate with some animals and to be able to guess the intentions of others.

Mind Over Matter
Mastery of this Discipline enables a Kai Lord to move small objects with his powers of concentration.

If you successfully complete the mission as set in Book 1 of Lone Wolf, you may add a further Kai Discipline of your choice to your Action Chart in Book 2. This additional skill, together with your five other skills and any Special Items that you have picked up in Book 1, may then be used in the next adventure of the Lone Wolf series which is called Fire on the Water.

EQUIPAGGIAMENTO

Quote:

---

You are dressed in the green tunic and cloak of a Kai initiate. You have little with you to arm yourself for survival.

All you possess is an Axe (note under Weapons on your Action Chart) and a Backpack containing 1 Meal (note under Meals on your Action Chart). Hanging from your waist is a leather pouch containing Gold Crowns. To find out how many, pick a number from the Random Number Table. This number equals the number of Gold Crowns you possess at the start of the adventure. (Note the number in the Belt Pouch section of the Action Chart.)

You discover amongst the smoking ruins of the monastery, a Map of Sommerlund (note under Special Items on the Action Chart) showing the capital city of Holmgard and the land of Durenor, far to the east. You place the Map inside your tunic for safety.

You also find two of the following: (Scegliete!)
- Sword (Weapons)
- Helmet (Special Items). This adds 2 ENDURANCE points to your total.
- Two Meals (2 Backpack Items)
- Chainmail Waistcoat (Special Items). This adds 4 ENDURANCE points to your total
- Mace (Weapons)
- Healing Potion (Backpack Item). This can restore 4 ENDURANCE points to your total, when swallowed after combat. You only have enough for one dose.
- Quarterstaff (Weapons)
- Spear (Weapons)
- 12 Gold Crowns (Belt Pouch)
- Broadsword (Weapons)

Prima di iniziare, due parole di incoraggiamento dal nostro Joe Dever...

Many things that you find will aid you during the adventure. Some Special Items will be of use in future Lone Wolf adventures and others may be red herrings of no real use at all, so be selective in what you decide to keep.

There are many routes to the King, but only one involves a minimum of danger. With a wise choice of Kai Disciplines and a great deal of courage, any player should be able to complete the mission, no matter how weak their initial COMBAT SKILL or ENDURANCE points score.

The honour and memory of the Kai Lords will go with you on your perilous journey.

Good luck!

lascerei le votazioni aperte ancora per un po'...Diciamo che se nessun altro si fa vivo per le 3 (e/o nessuno cambia voti), apro uno spareggio per le opzioni in pareggio!

Ok, visto che non ci sono nuovi voti, ecco la lista delle nostre Discipline Kai!

DISCIPLINE KAI
Healing
Mindshield
Camouflage
Hunting
Sixth Sense

Prima di cominciare, dobbiamo decidere quale opzione scegliere per CS ed ED; per quanto riguarda l'equipaggiamento, il primo oggetto è la Chainmail; e c'è da fare lo spareggio tra le 2 razioni di cibo e l'elmo!

Per evitare di perdere troppo tempo, direi che la prima opzione a ricevere un voto vince! Votate!!!111!1one!

15/25
2 meals

sarò probabilmente lurker in sto thread però

Direi elmo visto che hunting in teoria ti procura cibo.

non ha più senso alzare EP con le stats di partenza e prendere un item diverso?

con il tuo setup saresti 17 CS 27 EP

partendo diverso avresti 15 CS 29 EP 2 meals

insomma il totale di punti è uguale ma hai items in più

WB Miave :D Siamo tutti lurker in sto thread (a parte me magari lol), np ;)

Come detto vince il primo voto, quindi si va con 25/15 e 2 pasti! (in alcune sezioni non potremo usare hunting per mangiare...e a volte dovremo scegliere degli oggetti da "eliminare" dall'inventario, quindi anche i 2 pasti non sono inutili)

Si comincia!

Without the Kai Lords to lead her armies, Sommerlund will be at the mercy of their ancient enemy, the Darklords.

Fighting back tears, you bid farewell to your dead kinsmen. Silently, you promise that their deaths will be avenged. You turn away from the ruins and carefully descend the steep track.

At the foot of the hill, the path splits into two directions, both leading into a large wood.

If you wish to take the right path into the wood, turn to 85.

If you wish to follow the left track, turn to 275.

too late to cheat!

e a sto punto direi sixth sense?

Ok, allora se ci sono opzioni "da disciplina" senza scelta, procedo automaticamente! Se per voi va bene direi che, sopratutto se gli update sono piccoli, potremmo procedere quando si verifica la prima delle seguenti opzioni:

- almeno 3 voti di vantaggio per un'opzione

- 30 minuti senza nuovi post, nel caso ci sia un vantaggio per una delle opzioni

These are Mountain Giaks—evil servants of the Darklords, full of hatred and malice. Many centuries ago, their ancestors were used by the Darklords to build the infernal city of Helgedad, which lies in the volcanic wastelands beyond the Durncrag range of mountains. The construction of the city was long and torturous and only the strongest of the Giaks survived the heat and poisonous atmosphere of Helgedad.

Hidden by the trees, you freeze, keeping absolutely still as the Kraan passes overhead and disappears towards the south. When you are sure that it has gone, you move off once again into the forest.

Turn to 131.

Many more of the Giaks are dead or dying among the broken pillars of marble, but still they assault whatever is hidden inside. Suddenly, a bolt of blue lightning rips through the front rank of Giaks sending the armour-clad creatures tumbling in all directions. A Giak, taller than the others and dressed from head to foot in black chainmail, curses at his troops as he whips them forward with a barbed flail.

With weapon ready, you move to the edge of the clearing, under cover of the thick foliage, and try to catch a glimpse of the defenders. To your amazement, the ruins are being defended by a young man no older than yourself. You recognize his sky-blue robes, embroidered with stars. He is a young theurgist of the Magicians’ Guild of Toran: an apprentice in magic.

Illustration IX—A young theurgist of the Magicians’ Guild of Toran.

Five Giaks charge forward, their spears raised to stab the apprentice as he hurriedly retreats deeper into the ruins. You see him turn and raise his left hand just before a bolt of blue flame shoots from his fingertips into the snarling Giak soldiers. Close to where you are hidden, you see a Giak scuttle past and climb one of the pillars of the temple. He has a long curved dagger in his mouth and he is about to jump on the young wizard standing below.

If you wish to shout a warning to the wizard, turn to 241.

If you wish to run forward and attack the Giak when he jumps, turn to 55.

If you wish to pick up a chunk of temple marble and throw it at the Giak’s head, turn to 302.

Or if you would rather turn and leave the battle area and run back into the woods, turn to 101.

Nota curiosa: il linguaggio Giak è "reale", ovvero, non sono parole a caso...nel mondo ci sono pure dei matti che sanno esattamente cosa stanno dicendo i Giak in ogni frase Se siete curiosi, probabilmente su google qualcosa si trova facilmente...

He shakes your hand and bows. ‘My eternal thanks, Kai Lord. My powers are nearly drained. Had you not come to my aid, I fear I would have ended my days atop a Giak lance.’

He is weak and unsteady on his feet. You take his arm and sit him down upon a fallen pillar where you listen intently to what he has to say.

‘My name is Banedon. I am journeyman to the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star, which is the Magicians’ Guild of Toran. My Guildmaster has sent me to your monastery with this urgent message.’ He removes a vellum envelope from inside his robes and hands it to you.

‘As you see, I have opened the letter and read its contents. When the war started, I was on the highway with two travelling companions. The Kraan attacked us and we lost each other in the forest during our escape.’

The letter is a warning to the Kai Lords that the Darklords have mustered a vast army beyond the Durncrag Range. The Guildmaster urges the Kai to cancel the celebrations of Fehmarn and prepare for war.

‘I fear we were betrayed,’ says Banedon, his head bowed in sorrow.

‘One of my order, a brother called Vonotar, had explored the forbidden mysteries of the Black Art. Ten days ago he denounced the Brotherhood and killed one of our Elders. He has since disappeared. It is rumoured that he now aids the Darklords.’

You tell Banedon what has happened at the monastery, and of your mission to warn the King. Silently, he removes a gold chain from around his neck and hands it to you. On the chain is a small Crystal Star Pendant. ‘It is the symbol of my Brotherhood, and we are both truly brothers in this hour of darkness. It is a talisman of good fortune—may it protect you on your road ahead.’

You thank him, place the chain around your neck, and slip the Crystal Star4 inside your shirt. (Remember to mark this on your Action Chart.)

Banedon bids you farewell. ‘We must leave this place lest the Giaks return with more of their loathsome kind to put an end to us. I must return to my Guild. I bid you farewell, my brother. May the luck of the gods go with you.’

Turn to 293.

It is a Giak ambush and you must run as fast as you can to escape it.

Turn to 281.

If you break cover and climb up the hill, turn to 311.

If you change direction and continue your run through the forest, turn to 77.

77, uscire allo scoperto è too risky, abbiamo anche camouflage, io dico di continuare e provare a seminarli nella wilderness :O

Dopo il "for the realm!" direi azione conigliosa ma anche di studio quindi 77

77

Turn to 19.

If you have the Kai Discipline of Tracking, turn to 69.

You can avoid the Sleeptooth by returning to the track. Turn to 272.

Or you can push on through the briars, deeper into the forest, by turning to 119.

Ok, non abbiamo Tracking! Quindi, evitiamo la piantavalium o tentiamo di passarci in mezzo?

272, non rischierei i meandri di Sleeptooth.

Prudenza perdere pf può essere uno svantaggio, se arrivi al wall coi debuff rischi di cadere preda delle ombre 272 per me

up 272, scelta logica

180° indietro e torniamo nel canalone!

There is no sign of the usual mist of wood smoke which gives Fogwood its apt name, and the huts are unusually quiet.

If you have the Kai Discipline of Tracking, you may turn to 134.

If you do not possess this skill, you prepare your weapon and stealthily approach the huts. Turn to 305.

Ci piglia per il culo :D

This is the evil handiwork of Giaks without any doubt, for they delight in the destruction of all things. A quick check of the other huts reveals a similar story of murder and wreckage. In the last hut that you search, you discover a Giak Spear—proof of your suspicions. You may keep this Weapon if you wish.

More determined than ever now to succeed in your mission, you continue along the track.

Turn to 105.

If you have the Kai Discipline of Animal Kinship, you may call to this bird by turning to 298.

If you do not possess this skill, or if you do not wish to use it, turn to 335.

Illustration VIII—Perched on his outstretched arm is the black raven that you saw earlier.

If you wish to call the stranger, turn to 342.

If you wish to approach the stranger cautiously, turn to 309.

If you would rather draw your weapon and attack, turn to 283.

Mmm un misterioso uomo del mistero! Che si fa?
PS: raccattiamo la lancia?

se prendiamo l'arma è in vista o no?
nel senso... una free weapon è una free weapon, ma se poi veniamo attaccati perchè credono siamo giak non mi pare una grandissima idea.

per la scelta, 309

Gioco di stealt è sicuramente un ombra al wall, 309

Se l'arma non comporta problemi si piglia, un si sa mai.

If you wish to approach the stranger cautiously, turn to 309.

In genere quello che trasportiamo è in vista, a meno che non sia specificato altrimenti.

The last thing you remember is the icy grasp of the Vordak’s skeletal fingers as they close around your throat.

Your life and your mission end here.

Cos...com...eh? DEVEEEEEEEEEEEER!! Alla fine, il party hiddato c'era davvero! E c'era pure l'esca non hiddata lol

Ok questa credo sia l'instadeath più imbecille e gratuita dell'intera saga lol :D Probabilmente è qui per dare l'idea che in sti libri si può morire...

Ciò detto: come agiamo in caso di morte? La soluzione più semplice è senz'altro segnare una "tacca" sul mortometro e scegliere un'altra opzione. Se preferite, però, possiamo anche fare un rewind a un punto precedente e procedere da li.

Oltre a questo: prendiamo la lancia o no, alla fine? Ci sono 2 "forse" per ora :D
