Spadadiddio, se è un istadeath facciamola con stile

niente spadaddiddio che se la tiriamo fuori qui ci sgamano tutti nel raggio di 800km!!!!

Spadaddiddioh e dellamadonnaaaah!

mmhh in effetti la scelta è sospetta, non vorrei che finissimo in un mare di merda nera perchè ci sgamano tutti i mostri schifosi da qui all'oceano...

E' poco metal ma dico di tenere imboscata la nostra fida spada.

E' in pareggio, ma vista la natura del paragrafo 219, lo posto :D

For a moment you hesitate in drawing the sun-sword from its Korlinium Scabbard. But the cave creature is now almost upon you—it is closing swiftly for the kill. You must act immediately if you are to defend yourself from its attack.

If you choose to unsheathe the Sommerswerd and use it in your defence, turn to 110.

If you decide to leave the Sommerswerd in its scabbard and use another Weapon instead, turn to 275.

Votate! :D

lasciamo la sommerswerd nella fodera

Vabbe doppio warning vuol dire che c'è la fregatura,prendiamo le nostre armi normali! 275!

Fistfuckiamo st'abominio col potere dei pugnididdio!

Alla pugna coi pugni!

Its mouth is a mass of twisted fangs and from its huge, bear-like body there writhes a score of slimy tentacles, each tipped with a venomous claw. Its reptilian head is domed and from its centre there protrudes a twisted horn, longer than a broadsword.

The creature retreats a few paces and howls with anger as it prepares to make its second attack.

After satisfying yourself that it was the only one of its kind in this cave, you settle down in a corner and take a well-deserved rest: restore 3 ENDURANCE points.

Turn to 289.

Yes! :D EP: 35!

Once, millennia ago, this city had been the home of a brilliant civilization; today the stately crystal palaces and temples of Xaagon are occupied by the lord and host of the evil dead.

http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml-l...doi/small7.png

Onward you trek, through knee-deep snow and jagged ice, towards the towering walls of Xaagon. The city is dominated by a spire of crystal which stabs the stormy sky, drawing lightning from the black clouds which swirl around its tip. From this needle-sharp point there radiates a crimson glow which sweeps the surrounding landscape. It is like a hellish lighthouse casting baleful crimson beams across a dead sea of ice.

Gradually, as you come within the shadows of Xaagon’s outer wall, you see two places where you could gain entry to the city beyond. The first is near to the coast, through a breach in the south wall; the second is through the city’s shattered west gate. Neither entrance appears to be guarded.

If you wish to enter Xaagon by the breach in the south wall, turn to 165.

If you choose to enter by the west gate, turn to 266.

Da che parte vogliamo intrufolarci :D?

south

West non è a sinistra?

(per me west)

west!

Sud!

Due a due! Il prossimo voto, anche se duplicato, decide :D

Visto che il filtro dell'ufficio mi blocca un sacco di roba, questo è quello che vedo del voto di Deffo :sneer:

Vedo a casa che stacco tra 10 min :sneer:

QQ era "go west" dei Pet Shop Boys :P

E ora non riesco a smettere di canticchiarla :saddest:

You pause briefly to listen and determine at once that this strange noise comes from the direction of the Crystal Spire.

Warily you press on towards the barbican, your eyes peeled all the while for guards. You are within a few yards of the archway when suddenly your Kai Sixth Sense alerts you to danger. Moments later, a dozen undead Drakkarim warriors come looming out of the storm, marching two abreast towards the west gate arch. To avoid detection you quickly sidestep into a shadowy portal at the base of the barbican wall. Here you discover a flight of stone steps which ascend to a derelict chamber that once served as a guardroom.

If you possess Grand Pathsmanship, turn to 202.

If you do not possess this Discipline, turn to 107.

http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml-l...oi/small11.png

From out of a secret panel in the wall to your left come six skeletal warriors, each one brandishing a rust-pitted sword. They make no sound, yet their eye sockets are aglow with sorcerous fire as they rush across the chamber towards you.

If you wish to stand and fight these skeletal warriors, turn to 242.

If you choose to escape from this chamber by the stairs, turn to 343.

Che si fa :D?

manowaranza a palla!

(mi domando una cosa.. in queste situazioni, ha senso che facciamo uso della Sommerswerd? Tecnicamente siamo già dentro la città del male putrescente... se non l'abbiamo usata fuori, a maggior ragione non dovremmo farlo manco adesso...

O col fatto che Dever non ce lo chiede ce ne fottiamo e combattiamo con-l'aiuto-del-sole-vincerò? )

Joe a volte si ricorda delle cose in ritardo. Vedrete a seconda di come va il voto :D

Steeeeeendi end faiiiiiiitt!

You cannot evade this combat and must fight these enemies to the finish.

If you win the combat, turn to 152.

La versione annotata dice:"[16] (Section 242) In view of Banedon’s comments in Section 339, it would seem that you should not use the Sommerswerd in this combat."

Ergo, sono cazzi :D

COMBAT RATING: -3 (con Kai-Surge)

Dunque, abbiamo l'opzione di utilizzare Kai-Blast se volete. Lo faccio? E - non credo - ma volete che usi la drogga?

eccerto che usiamo kai-blast, apriamogli il culo a sti mucchietti d'ossa

Non userei nè il blast nè la droga.

Il blast è rischioso e ci si può pure andare in perdita se si ha sfiga, inoltre in quel round non si può usare Kai-Surge (il testo dice esplicitamente "It cannot be used in conjunction with any other form of psychic attack.") e non possiamo permetteci di fare un round con -11 di CR.

D'altra parte -3 non è così duro come scontro, la droga la terrei.

L'analisi del deffo mi convince abbastanza,voglio essere abbastanza fiducioso nei dadi! Go così senza niente!

Alla brutta!

Small Sack
Stone Bowl
Spyglass
Iron Key
Coil of Oiled Rope

If you decide to keep any of the above, record them on your Action Chart as Backpack Items.

You leave the chamber and hurry down the stone staircase to the archway below. The Drakkarim patrol you sighted earlier is now nowhere to be seen, enabling you to leave the barbican and enter Xaagon without further confrontation.

Warily you trek through the awesome ruins of this age-old city, where once, at the beginning of the Age of Eternal Night, a proud and mighty race reigned supreme.

You have just passed a derelict mausoleum when you are forced to halt and hide from a passing troop of Ixian warriors. You watch as they march stiffly along an ice-choked avenue towards a plaza that is dominated by a huge frozen fountain. Beyond the fountain’s solid plume of water you see a broad ramp which ascends to a grand archway at the base of the Crystal Spire.

If you possess Grand Huntmastery and have attained the Kai rank of Sun Lord or higher, turn to 9.

If you do not possess this skill, or if you have yet to reach this level of Kai Mastery, turn to 122.

So strong is this light that it physically sickens you, yet you find it hard to look away; you are both fascinated and repulsed by it.

Suddenly you realize what it is that you are seeing and feeling: it is the evil power of Deathlord Ixiataaga himself. He is present here, somewhere inside this dread spire.

If you possess Kai-screen, turn to 325.

If you do not possess this Grand Master Discipline, turn to 245.

They see you and give vent to a chorus of high-pitched shrieks of alarm. You spin on your heel to face them, fearful that their hideous cries will bring all of Xaagon down upon your head.

If you possess a Bow and wish to use it, turn to 281.

If you possess Kai-surge, have reached the rank of Kai Grand Guardian or higher, and wish to make use of this Discipline, turn to 234.

If you possess neither the weapon nor the Discipline, or choose to use neither, turn instead to 60.

Reflexively you dive for cover, avoiding certain decapitation as a searing bolt of energy surges from its tip. It passes within inches of your back before impacting against a distant pillar of crystal.

As you scramble to your feet, you see all three of the creatures gliding towards you across the snow.

Its concussive vibration is so strong that it leaves ripples in the snow.

You crane your neck to look at the uppermost tip of the spire, and you shiver with dread when you detect the unmistakable presence of the Deathlord. His cloying aura of evil makes you break out in a cold sweat, but you fight back this fear and resolve to gain entry to the Crystal Spire; you are determined to defeat him. Patiently you wait, crouched in the rubble of the ruined watchtower, observing his undead slaves come and go. During this time, unless you possess the Discipline of Grand Huntmastery, you must eat a Meal or lose 3 ENDURANCE points.

To continue, turn to 335.

Opposite the entrance you see another open archway, this one filled by a shimmering curtain of light.
