[LUPO SOLITARIO] Libro XII: The Masters of Darkness

[Rise-the-Sky]

Apriamo che è finalmente arrivata la escort che avevamo ordinato 12 libri fa


Ah prendiamo la chiave di ferro al posto della conchiglia.

[Jesper]

Molliamo la conchiglia, prendiamo la chiave de fero e apriamo la porta!

Standing in the corridor outside is a slim, small, seemingly insignificant figure, clad in a loose-fitting garment of plain emerald cloth. His pinched and pallid face is of human proportion, and, were it not for his pig-like snout and watery, colourless eyes, he could easily pass for one of your species.

‘Humble greetings, Cagath,’ he says, in a syrupy sweet tone that makes your flesh crawl. ‘I bring the compliments of Bazdash-Vool, my worthy master. He invites you to join him in the gallery, where he is about to host an entertainment for his illustrious fellow passengers, to make their journey altogether less tiresome. Will you grace us with your presence, noble Cagath?’

If you wish to accept this creature’s invitation and accompany him to the gallery, turn to 184.

If you decide to decline the invitation, turn to 338.

Vogliamo accettare l'invito del servo di Bazdash-Vool? O rifiutiamo ?

[Lupoazzurro]

è vestito di verde....uno dei colori da evitare.

In più ci ha appena dato del Cagath.

mandiamolo a cagare e rimaniamo nella cabina.

[Rise-the-Sky]

Hanno allestito uno spettacolo di lap-dance per intrattenere gli ospiti..sarebbe di cattivo gusto non andare a riempire di corone le mutandine delle ballerine.

Già.

[Kaluisurrr]

ma cagath sarà lui! rifiutiamo con nonchalance

[Bortas]

184 andiamo a vedere la lap dance, tanto è la solita trappola che risolveremo a craniate...

[Rise-the-Sky]

Cmq riflettendoci..

se il padrone di casa è nemico di Cagath

Se restiamo: ci vorrà morti
Se andiamo: ci vorrà morti

se è neutrale:

se restiamo: magari ci riterrà ostili e quindi ci vorrà morti
se andiamo: magari tenterà di ingraziarci

se è amichevole:

se restiamo: non capirà la nostra assenza ergo rischio che ci sgami
se andiamo: magari si accorge che siamo membri della razza eletta e non dei mostacci verdastri... o magari no, chissà.

Ergo restare non conviene cmq.

GOGO lapdance

PS: è un doppio voto ma visto che avevo 10 minuti buchi motivavo la saggezza dell'andare nel night

[Jesper]

Andiamo allo spettacolino nel privè!

As you follow the sycophantic creature along the corridor and up a flight of iron stairs to the deck level above, you ponder the name he called you—Cagath. No doubt it was the name of the Ligan whose identity you have taken on as a disguise. (Make a note of this name in the margin of your Action Chart. It could prove useful at a later stage of your adventure.)

A strange scene awaits you in the large, cylindrical chamber that is the gallery. At the centre of this steel hall, used by the Lajakeka’s passengers as a meeting place and gambling den, there is a square pit some fifteen feet deep. On tiered seats that encircle the pit sit a motley group of creatures, some of whose features you recognize: Liganim, Nadziranim, Giak ore-masters, and a dozen or so whose origins are a mystery to you. They are all cheering or bawling obscenities at two bulky pit fighters, who are locked in hand-to-hand combat below. The fight ends abruptly with the beheading of one combatant, and the pit is cleared quickly whilst old bets are claimed and new ones are laid on the next bout. Into the gore-stained pit step two new fighters: an orange-skinned reptilian armed with a spiked club, and a blue-skinned humanoid wielding a ball and chain. Giak crew pass along the tiers collecting bets. One of them appears at your side and tugs your sleeve. ‘Stak nart gug?’ he growls, waving a wad of orange and blue slips of hide, as he tries to tempt you to place a bet.

Illustration XI—An orange-skinned reptilian and a blue-skinned humanoid step into the gore-stained pit.

If you have any Kika (Gold Crowns or Lune may not be used in lieu of Kika in this instance) and wish to bet on one of the pit fighters, turn to 61.

If you do not possess any Kika or do not wish to bet on the outcome of the fight, turn to 254.

Ok, niente Lap Dance, ma anche l'arena mortale ha i suoi risvolti interessanti

Abbiamo 30 Kika (3 Corone)...vogliamo scommettere o no?

[Lupoazzurro]

puntiamo sul blu....

[Rise-the-Sky]

scommettiamo (palla chiodata , quindi blu)

[Kaluisurrr]

scommettiamo sul rettile! 20 kika!

[Jesper]

Puntiamo 20 Kika sul puffo gigante con palla chiodata!

You nod your willingness to bet on the fight, and the ugly Giak gives a lopsided grin, exposing a mouthful of rotting fangs.

Firstly, decide how many Kika you wish to bet (the minimum bet is 10; Gold Crowns or Lune may not be used in lieu of Kika in this instance) on the outcome and note this figure in the margin of your Action Chart. Then, decide whether you wish to stake your money on the orange-skinned reptilian or the blue-skinned humanoid. If the fighter you have chosen wins the combat, you will receive winnings equal to double the amount of Kika you staked. Should your fighter lose the combat, you will lose all of your stake.

If you wish to bet on the orange-skinned reptilian fighter, turn to 265.

If you wish to bet on the blue-skinned humanoid, turn to 225.

Once the bets have been collected, all eyes turn to the pit-master who will strike the gong that begins the combat. But the combat is over before it begins officially. The orange-skinned creature suddenly springs at his opponent and slams his spiked club down on his unprotected skull, killing him instantly. The crowd hoots with glee at the beast’s display of low cunning, and despite some loud protests by those who, like you, bet on the humanoid, the pit-master reluctantly declares the reptilian the winner.

Erase all the Kika you staked and turn to 134.

Once more the pit is cleared and the spectators settle down to enjoy another round of vicious hand-to-hand fighting. The next two combatants are poised to enter the ring and, in the light of what happened previously, they have both decided to ignore the gong and tear into each other as soon as their holding cage door slides open.

Bets are about to be placed when the sound of a loud, intermittent whistle interrupts the proceedings: it is the signal that Helgedad has been sighted by the lookout. Some of the crowd leave their seats in order to view the Black City through the tiny portholes that line the walls of the gallery. With your heart pounding at the thought of seeing the Darklands’ most infamous stronghold for the first time, you leave the pit and join them.

Turn to 326.

Helgedaad, stazione di Helgedaad, Helgedaad.

With trepidation, you peer through the thick and grimy glass of a hull porthole and gaze upon the awesome spectacle that is Helgedad. Perched upon an isle of granite at the centre of a vast, fiery chasm stands the mighty city-fortress, the very core of a cancer that threatens to infect and destroy all that is good in Magnamund. Great walls of black steel encircle it, giving rise to a thousand spiky towers and turrets which harbour the masters and the minions of darkness. Above the city hovers a seething pall of black smoke that keeps it forever in shadow. Fed by the fumes from the volcanic craters of the Naogizaga, this cloud is made all the more noisome by the foul discharges of the Nadziranim laboratories, the weapon furnaces, and the hellish breeding pits at the base of the chasm.

Irregularly the darkness is lit by fireballs that seem to form spontaneously among the black vapours. They spin and soar above the city like demonic meteors, before exploding or simply melting away in a rain of sparks. A bridge of twisted black steel joins Helgedad to the wastelands beyond, and as the Lajakeka slowly grinds its way across this span, you look down into the fiery depths of the Nengud-kor-Adez, the Lake of Blood, and your courage quails at the terrible sight that meets your gaze.

Turn to 150.

Bel posto

A thousand feet below, at the heart of the chasm, a seething carpet of nightmare shapes crawl and slither amid rivers of molten rock. They appear to your horrified eyes to be writhing in perpetual agony, and your psychic senses confirm that this is the case: it is their pain, not their bodies, that feeds this raging sea of supernatural flame.

The gates of the Black City open and the Lajakeka passes into this terrible realm of evil, along a vast avenue of steel, flanked by buildings of hellish grandeur and purpose. You can see red flames glaring at peaked gothic windows, and innumerable barred gates that appear like the grinning jaws of dragons. At length, the vehicle grinds to a halt at a place where a huge chute burrows deep into the ground. The crew make preparations to unload their cargo directly into this funnel-shaped hole whilst you and the other passengers disembark. With fear running ice cold in your veins, you scan the fire-swept street and notice that all the other passengers are scurrying towards a tunnel.

If you wish to follow them and enter the tunnel, turn to 80.

If you choose to avoid them and the tunnel, and prefer to explore the street, turn to 197.

Che facciamo ?
