ARCODIDDIOEDELLAMADONNAAAAA!

With devastating speed and accuracy, you draw your Arrows and fire them deep into the hearts of the two enemy archers. Both men stagger and crumple to the ground, but your bowmanship does little to deter their comrades. With a fearsome yell, the three remaining warriors brandish their swords and axes and come thundering towards you. There is no time to evade their attack—you must fight them to the death!

Zagganozod INSTAKILLATI!

Wiping the sweat from your brow, you sheathe your weapon and search the bodies of your ambushers. All of them are clad in black helmets and scarlet, chainmail hauberks, and each has an assortment of weapons and equipment strapped to his muscular body. You recognize the distinctive armour which identifies them as Zagganozod—a motley unit of Drakkarim cavalry which patrols the Blackshroud Trail. This company must have fled here on foot after the Drakkarim defeat at Cetza, for you can find no sign of their horses.

Your search of their bodies reveals the following items:

2 Swords
3 Quivers
2 Daggers
11 Arrows
3 Bows
2 Axes
1 Mace
1 Broadsword
16 Lune (4 Gold Crowns)
Enough food for 4 Meals

You may take whatever items you wish. When you have made the necessary adjustments to your Action Chart, you ford the river and continue on foot.

Turn to 186.

So Much Loot

Prendo gia le frecce e i pasti...ditemi se volete cambiare qualche arma!

The ground rises steeply and it is dusk before your climb ends at the crest of a ridge overlooking the grasslands of Northern Eru. In less than an hour it will be dark, so you decide to camp here on the ridge and continue at first light (you must now eat a meal or lose 3 ENDURANCE points).

You are settling down on a mattress of leaf mould when the howl of a timber wolf prompts you to abandon your soft bed and spend the night in the bough of a tree.

Turn to 125.

Pure i fratelli Lupi mo <.<

Your journey northwards through the Moggador Forest is a long and tiring trek that is fraught with danger. Roving bands of Krorn and packs of savage timber wolves demand that you remain vigilant at all times, and as you venture deeper into their vast domain, you feel your sense of time gradually slipping away. Your only consolation on this long and lonely trek is that wild game is plentiful and you experience no shortage of food.

On the morning of your ninth day in the forest you notice that the grey pines are beginning to thin out and the ground is becoming dusty and sparsely vegetated. Soon you come upon a road constructed of broken stones which leaves the forest and disappears into a barren landscape of yellow sulphurous soil. You check your map and it confirms your suspicions: you have reached the foothills of the Nadulritzaga Mountains and are now less than twenty miles from the fortress of Torgar.

Turn to 140.

Siamo quasi a Torgar

After a week of trekking across difficult terrain, the firm surface of the hill track feels as smooth as a mirror beneath your aching feet. By noon you have put ten miles behind you and have reached a bridge which crosses a sickly yellow stream flowing down from the surrounding hills. You must now eat a Meal or lose 3 ENDURANCE points.

You are about to continue your journey across the bridge when you hear a rumble of hoofbeats and see a group of horsemen, shrouded in dust, riding along the road towards you.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Huntmastery and have reached the rank of Principalin or higher, turn to 12.

If you do not possess this skill or have yet to reach this level of Magnakai training, you can either wait for these riders to reach you; turn to 122.

Or hide beneath the bridge; turn to 322.

Abbiamo Huntmastery e il rank per usarla!

Using your ability to intensify your vision you focus on the advancing horsemen. You see that they are all wearing surcoats of scarlet and grey, embroidered with a crest bearing an open hand. The only horsemen who wear this livery are the cavalry of Talestria.

If you wish to wave down these riders, turn to 61.

If you would rather hide from them beneath the bridge, turn to 322.

Che si fa ?

Passano capitoli dovremo riprendere pf, poi un meal ce la facciamo a spararselo che siamo a un cazzo di pf...

Sti cosi li evitarei 322, salutarli con la manino se poi sono i soliti nemici travestiti da buoni è solo concedergli l'iniziativa.

[Jesper]

Ops mi ero scordato di aggiornare gli EP

I meal comunque non ci curano Ci tolgono semplicemente EP se non possiamo mangiare quando ci viene richiesto...a meno che, ovviamente, non abbiamo Huntmastery che ci permette di ignorare la richiesta di meal (a meno che non sia specificato che non funziona nel paragrafo attuale ES: dentro una tomba nello spazio profondo )

[Bortas]

Vabè non ricordavo.

[Sturm]

Senza paura,salutiamoli e facciamogli vedere il cappellotto! Magari non è una trappola

[Kaluisurrr]

famo ciao con la manina

[Jesper]

Ciao ciao!

The Talestrians bring their horses to a halt and regard you with suspicion. Their officer draws his sword and demands to know your nationality and the name of your regiment. You reply in his native tongue that you are an Eruan Pathfinder, and a smile spreads slowly across his rugged face. He tells you that he and his men are scouts who have been sent to make sure that the hills are free of enemy troops. Your Kai Sixth Sense confirms that he speaks the truth, and when he offers to take you to meet his commander, you accept the invitation gladly.

Turn to 6.

Meno male che loro non hanno Sesto Senso

You share the officer’s horse as he leads his company back along a route they have already ridden. Steadily the road winds upwards through the hills towards a ridge of yellow rock and, as you reach the crest of the ridge, you catch your first awe-inspiring glimpse of Torgar.

Illustration I—The grim city-fortress of Torgar.

The walls of this grim city-fortress stand upon the brink of a ravine cut deep by centuries of rushing water. A natural causeway of stone spans this dark chasm and provides the only means of approaching Torgar from the south. Its position and its defences seem impregnable. It commands the only road into the barren land of Ghatan, and any who dare travel that road must pass over the causeway and through the city’s great iron gate.

In the past there have been few who would venture willingly to Torgar, but now the causeway and its approaches swarm with such men. They are the soldiers of Talestria and Palmyrion, and they have come with their engines of war to lay siege to this grim Drakkarim fortress.

The scout officer spurs his horse away from the ridge and you are carried towards a cluster of tents that stand on high ground overlooking the siege-works. As you arrive, a group of knights steps forward to take the horse’s reins. You dismount with the officer and follow as he enters the largest tent.

If you have ever visited the land of Talestria in a previous Lone Wolf adventure, turn to 45.

If not, turn to 346.

Si ci siamo stati Quale amico del passato starà per risbucare fuori?

Inside the tent a group of senior officers are poring over their battle-maps and planning their troop dispositions for an assault across the causeway. Their leader has his back to you, but when he turns to see who has entered his tent, you recognize him at once: he is Adamas, Lord Constable of Garthen. ‘By the gods!’ he exclaims. ‘I thought the Danarg had claimed you, Lone Wolf. How good it is to see you alive.’

He dismisses his captains and bids you tell all that has happened since last you met. ‘So you wish to break into Torgar,’ he says, thoughtfully. ‘How strange it is that our goals should be so similar. Come, follow me, perhaps cooperation will hasten our success.’

Turn to 127.

Ma è Adama di Battlestar Galactica!

A short distance from Lord Adamas’ tent stands a wooden watchtower, constructed by his army engineers, which offers an unobstructed view of the causeway and the great gate of Torgar. As you reach the top of its rickety ladder and step onto the platform beside the Lord Constable, he recounts the events that have led to the siege of this city-fortress.

Following his victory over the Ogians and the destruction of Xanar, Adamas led the allied armies of Bor, Talestria, and Palmyrion along the Blackshroud Trail in pursuit of the shattered enemy. When they reached the Agna-kor-kuzim, the ‘road of slaves’, the army of Bor was detached and sent to assail Blackshroud from the east, while the bulk of the allied forces marched north towards Torgar. When Talestria was overrun in the early days of the war, thousands of her people were taken as slaves and imprisoned here in this fortress. Lord Adamas had sworn that one day he would free them and he was determined to fulfil his pledge.

During the march north, a great battle was fought near the wastelands of Zuttezna, against two Giak armies led by Darklord Kraagenskûl and Darklord Chlanzor. Both were soundly defeated by the allies and sent back to Cragmantle to lick their wounds. Although victorious at Zuttezna, the allies had suffered heavy losses and Adamas feared they would be too weak to storm Torgar. He was too far from his homeland for reinforcements to reach him swiftly, and there was the growing threat that the Darklords would muster their troops in Tanoz and Mozgôar and attack again. Faced with this grave dilemma he decided to risk an assault on Torgar.

‘We have means to breach their iron gate,’ he says, staring purposefully at the great door of Torgar. ‘The Elder Magi have given us a device that will reduce it to twisted scrap, and when we march through that portal and free our people, we shall have all the reinforcements we need.’

Turn to 120.

E' il momento delle bombe

The hoarse cries of soldiers and the blare of war trumpets announce preparations for an assault across the causeway. Armoured infantry gather in a spearhead formation and wait for the order to advance towards a wall of logs and earth, which has been thrown up to protect the vanguard troops dug in on the causeway itself. These warriors scuttle about behind their ramparts, holding arched wooden shields over their bent backs to protect them against the arrows raining down from the battlements. The iron gate stands less than fifty yards from their position, and this approach is heaped with the bodies of those who have fallen during previous assaults.

You accompany Lord Adamas as he makes his way through the massed ranks of infantry and enters a trench which zigzags towards the causeway. He stops at a log-lined hollow dug out of the trench wall and speaks with a captain who is lying there nursing a broken arm. The wounded officer hands him his leather satchel, and Adamas continues along the trench until he reaches the centre of the causeway. There you both take cover with the vanguard and peer through a slit in the log wall at the formidable entrance to Torgar.

Turn to 78.

‘It’s an impressive-looking door,’ says Adamas, studying the wall of black iron, pitted and streaked with age. ‘But every door has its key, and we have the key to this one.’ He flips open the leather satchel and removes what appears to be a mass of triangular crystals fused into one solid lump. ‘This is the device that the Elder Magi prepared for us. It has to be placed at the foot of the door and it is activated by pressing this shard,’ he says, pointing to a sliver of crystal protruding from the side. ‘The thing explodes ten seconds after the shard is pressed.’

Calmly he takes a coin from his pocket and flicks it in the air. ‘One of us must place the device,’ he says, as he catches the coin. ‘We’re the only two left who stand a chance of surviving the run.’ He nods at his clenched fist and invites you to call ‘heads’ or ‘tails’.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Divination and wish to use it, turn to 14.

If you wish to call ‘heads’, turn to 330.

If you wish to call ‘tails’, turn to 212.

E' il momento di barare a testa o croce come con Paido

You focus your Kai skill on Adamas’ hand but you cannot tell which side of the coin is showing. All you can detect is a strong magical aura, indicating that the coin is magically shielded. You have no option but to guess which side is showing.

If you wish to call ‘heads’, turn to 330.

If you wish to call ‘tails’, turn to 212.

Cioè...cioè Adama ha una moneta SCHERMATA ANTI DIVINAZIONE PER FARE A TESTA E CROCE CON GLI PSIONICI

Che scegliamo ?
