[LUPO SOLITARIO] Libro XV: The Darke Crusade

[Jesper]

ATTACCO SOLARE!

The creature opens its great jaws and from the depths of its throat it coughs forth a guttering ball of flame. Immediately, your senses alert you to the fact that this is no ordinary fireball; it is wholly psychic in nature. It comes roaring towards you like a mini-sun trailing fiery orange sparks. You strike at it with the Sommerswerd, and as your divine blade connects, the fiery ball suddenly explodes into a million motes of light which rapidly dissolve.

The sudden jolt of contact knocks you backwards. Before you fully recover your footing, the creature seizes its advantage and comes leaping through the air towards your chest.

Turn to 283.

aH-AH!

Desperately you roll across the black stone floor to avoid the creature’s initial attack. Your swift reactions save you from its razor claws, but it, too, possesses lightning reflexes. It leaps once more and you barely have enough time to unsheathe your weapon before it lands upon you and slams you to the ground.

The moment you strike your killing blow, the creature explodes with a flash of brilliant white light. As the glare fades, you see that nothing whatsoever remains of either its body or spirit. Magnaarn witnesses the death of his servant with a look of pure terror. He screams, and in a moment of panic, he touches the head of the Nyras Sceptre to the floor. There is a tremendous boom, and the floor shudders violently as it is torn wide open by a massive quake.

Hurriedly, Magnaarn makes his escape through a curtained archway. Determined not to allow him to escape, you get ready to leap across the fissure which has opened up the chamber floor. It is no less than twenty feet wide at its narrowest point.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table. If you possess the Discipline of Grand Huntmastery and have reached the rank of Kai Grand Guardian or higher, add 2 to the number you have picked.

If your total is now 3 or less, turn to 128.

If it is 4–6, turn to 75.

If it is 7 or more, turn to 179.

Roll...7!

You clear the gap with one bound, and even manage to stay on your feet when you land on the far side of the fissure. Hungry for victory and vengeance, you tear aside the curtain through which Magnaarn disappeared and discover a short flight of steps which emerge at a turret at the very top of the Palace Tower, the highest point in the city of Darke.

Here you find Magnaarn, cowering with his crooked back pressed hard against the frost-covered wall. You sense that he has very nearly succumbed to the evil power of the Doomstone; he is treading a fine line between life and undeath. Yet, even though he is but a whisker away from eternal damnation, he musters enough spite to challenge you to a fight to the death.

‘Very well, Drakkar,’ you reply. ‘Let battle commence.’

The moment you strike your killing blow, the Nyras Sceptre explodes with a brilliant flash and you are knocked down by the sudden release of energy. For several minutes you lie unconscious on the floor of this wind-swept turret, until you are found and revived by your guide and companion, Captain Prarg. Nothing remains of either Warlord Magnaarn or the Nyras Sceptre; both have been utterly destroyed. Prarg helps you to your feet, and as you look out across the battle-torn landscape, you witness a wondrous event. The Gulf of Lencia is dotted with scores of square-rigged men o’ war. They are the ships of the Kasland fleet: at last Lencia’s allies have arrived.

Thanks to your bravery and determination, the power which has so devastated this land is now no more. The destruction of the Nyras Sceptre heralds a turning of the tides of war in the west. The Nadziranim and their armies flee the field of battle and are pursued by the allies all the way back to their strongholds in the north. The remnants of Magnaarn’s army are routed and swept out of Nyras, and after many centuries, this country finally returns to its rightful heirs.

In recognition of your victory over Warlord Magnaarn, King Sarnac of Lencia and Archduke Chalamis of Kasland hold a royal banquet in Vadera in your honour. You are heaped with praise and you receive the thanks and warm congratulations of a grateful populace.

Well done, Lone Wolf. Once again you have achieved a victory over the forces of darkness and proved yourself to be worthy of the title ‘Kai Grand Master’. Yet the fight against Evil goes ever on. On your return to your homeland you will be faced with a new and deadly challenge that will test your remarkable skills and unquestionable bravery. The nature of this challenge can be found in the next Grand Master adventure, which is entitled:

The Legacy of Vashna

Speriamo che Vashna non abbia lasciato il suo pugnale a nessuno nel testamento!

Ok truppa: come al solito, abbiamo un po' di tempo per il GIOCO DEL SE FOSSE!

[Bortas]

Se andavamo a nord? al bivio nord/sud

[Rise-the-Sky]

Cosa succedeva se non davamo da mangiare al lurido baffuto?

[Defender]

Quando siamo sbarcati nei pressi di Darke, cosa succedeva se fossimo tornati indietro verso il fiume invece di andare verso il villaggiuzzo?

[Jesper]

Se andavamo a nord? al bivio nord/sud

Spoiler

trovavamo dei cadaveri bruciati, dopodichè Schera ci chiamava (perchè trovava lui i prigionieri ancora vivi).

Cosa succedeva se non davamo da mangiare al lurido baffuto?

Spoiler

Ci fa usare Huntmastery per dare da mangiare a Prarg radici e lombrichi <.<

Quando siamo sbarcati nei pressi di Darke, cosa succedeva se fossimo tornati indietro verso il fiume invece di andare verso il villaggiuzzo?

Spoiler

Avevamo un 50% che ci lasciassero perdere e andassero a combattere nella battaglia principale; altrimenti, dovevamo combattere un capitano nemico, che però non era molto forte. Dopodichè, arrivavamo al villaggio senza colpo ferire.

Preparo il nuovo thread!

[Rise-the-Sky]

Vermi e lombrichi era una dieta sana ed equilibrata per quell'inutile essere (anche se alla fine ha trovato le @@ lasciate sul comodino ed è tornato utile)

[Sturm]

Ma invece che succedeva se il roll che ci ha permesso di far ingabbiare Prarg andava a buon fine e non ruzzolavamo come imbecilli?

[Jesper]

Spe Sturm son rincoglionito dal weekend (e Prarg si è fatto catturare 20 volte in questo libro lol), che paragrafo era ?
