Ok usiamo la Sommerswerd!

COMBAT RATING: +10 (con Kai-Surge)

Lupo Solitario -0 (-1)(26)
Acolytes of Vashna INSTAKILLATI!

The few acolytes who survive the fight count themselves lucky and flee for their lives. ‘Fools!’ screams Cadak, at his routing acolytes. ‘Must I do everything myself!’

With these words he bangs the tip of his staff three times against the floor of the dais and a gout of crackling energy arcs through the rain-laden air towards you. Instinctively, you raise the Deathstaff and catch the arcing bolt on its haft. There is a flash of sparks; then the crackling energy flickers and disappears.

Cadak curses loudly and promises that you are about to die, but for all his bravado you sense that he is scared. He recognizes the Deathstaff for what it is and he fears that, in your hands, it could lay waste to all his meticulous plans. The aged druid looks to the stormy clouds and screams a command to the circling Vortexi to help him finish you once and for all.

Turn to 65.

Vortexi? Sembra il nome di un'aspirapolvere

The howling phantoms come swirling out of the storm. They encircle the great shimmering arch in a long, unbroken chain, and then, one by one, they peel away to dive at the place where you are standing.

Your Kai instincts inform you that the Deathstaff possesses the power to repel these psychic phantoms, if you have the courage to use it. You also sense that there will inevitably be a price to pay if you use a weapon forged by the King of all Darkness.

If you wish to use the Deathstaff, turn to 263.

If you decide not to use this weapon, turn to 83.

Cosa facciamo ora ?

[Bortas]

Aridaje, via mo usiamolo sto bastone, altrimenti cassonetto del riciclo...

[Rise-the-Sky]

No al dildo demoniaco. Ci avvderte pure che a usarlo ci sarebbe un prezzo da pagare e la nostra verginità anale ci sta a cuore.
Abbiamo la spada del sole e i poteri di difesa mentale..sti stronzi di fantasmi possono andare a cercare qualcun'altro da inculare.

[Sturm]

Io invece sono curioso,bastoniamo abbestia! Bastonediddioooh!

[Jesper]

Dildo mortale go!

Guided by your Kai instincts, you raise the Deathstaff and whirl it around your head—once, twice, three times…

An ominous hum radiates from its haft. There is a crackle of static electricity and the damp air seethes with restrained, undischarged power. A thread of mist issues from the staff’s tip and builds rapidly into a spinning cyclone that ensnares the Vortexi and prevents them from reaching you. In desperation, you sense them pooling their immense psychic energies in an attempt to break out of this whirling prison and attack you.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table.

If you possess Kai-surge, add 4 to this number. If you possess Kai-screen, add 2. If you possess Assimilance, add 1.

Also, if your current ENDURANCE points total is 18 or more, add 1; if your current ENDURANCE points total is 17 or less, deduct 1.

If your total score is now 3 or less, turn to 206.

If it is 4–8, turn to 305.

If it is 9 or more, turn to 138.

Abbiamo +7 al Roll!

Roll...6!

You wield the Deathstaff with strength and confidence. The whirling cyclone ruins the Vortexi attack and bleeds them of their psychic powers, rendering them harmless.

However, by using the Deathstaff to accomplish this, you have left yourself vulnerable to its insidious power: lose 3 ENDURANCE points.

Make the necessary adjustments to your Action Chart and turn to 46.

Beh dai, poteva andare molto peggio...

You have destroyed the power of the Vortexi horde. They shrink and fade, and their faint, wispy remains are whipped up and dispersed by the winds of the raging storm. For a few moments there is a break in the roiling clouds and a few rays of sunlight burst through to bathe you in a warm, yellow glow. This warmth greatly invigorates your body and your mind: restore your ENDURANCE points score to its original level.

To continue, turn to 29.

Fuck yeah, Full Health pill!

Gradually, the clouds knit together and shut out the sun, and once again you are plunged into the teeth of the storm. You hear a low scream carried on the wind and turn to see Cadak, blazing with anger, come striding down from his crystal dais, wielding his staff like a fiery lance. He approaches to within twenty paces and bangs the butt down twice upon the rain-drenched earth. On the second strike, an umbrella of spectral light explodes overhead and falls to earth to encompass you both.

‘Nothing can stop the arrival of Shamath!’ screams Cadak, his eyes bright with madness. ‘You have delayed her, Lone Wolf, that is all. You have not stopped her. Soon she will set foot upon the soil of Magnamund and Lord Vashna will have his revenge!’

You scan the flickering walls of this rainbow-coloured prison of light, searching for a chink in its armour through which you can escape.

‘You will not escape this time!’ shouts Cadak, as if he has been reading your mind. ‘Not while I am alive!’

If you possess the Sommerswerd and you wish to use it, turn to 135.

If you wish to attack Arch Druid Cadak using the Deathstaff, turn to 213.

If you wish to attack Cadak with a Bow and Arrow, turn to 109.

If you wish to do none of the above, turn to 252.

Mmm...che faremo ora ?

[Rise-the-Sky]

Usiamo la SpadaDIDDDDDIO .
Finalmente mettiamo le mani sul nostro arcinemico dopo 3(?) libri, dobbiamo usare la nostra arma più iconografica.

[Lupoazzurro]

E infiliamogli la sommerswerd nella sua entrata posteriore una buona volta!

[Bortas]

Spadadiddio

[Sturm]

Spadadiddiooooh in azioneeeeh!

[Jesper]

You draw the Sommerswerd from its scabbard and point it accusingly at the Arch Druid, expecting him to wither in the face of its goodly light. But the blade does not glow as radiantly as before: it is as if its powers are being subdued by Cadak’s spectral prison.

With loathing in your heart, you advance upon your despised enemy. He weaves his hands before his face and his image fades. He is using a spell of invisibility but it does not keep him entirely hidden: you can still see the outline of his staff and his body flickering as he moves against the background wall of light.

Arch Druid Cadak: COMBAT SKILL 50 ENDURANCE 35

Arch Druid Cadak is immune to Mindblast and Psi-surge, but he is vulnerable to Kai-surge.

If you win this combat, turn to 298.

Ok, Cadak è piuttosto badass, ma non ha molti EP. La nostra Combat Rating attualmente è +0, ma siamo full vita e (credo) abbiamo ancora IP. Se mena!

Vecchio dimmerda!!

As you strike your killing blow, Cadak shudders and crashes to the ground, clutching his staff tightly to his chest. He finds just enough strength to utter a dying curse; then, before your disbelieving eyes, his body slowly disintegrates. The skin is quickly criss-crossed by thousands of wrinkles, and the drying flesh falls from his skull, leaving it bare boned with a tattered layer of leathery skin stretched over it. Then, in the next instant his body collapses into naked bone. His staff breaks into chalky chunks and, finally, bone and staff blacken and fall away to dust.

Turn to 72.

Forse l'abbiamo menato troppo forte

The umbrella of light quickly fades to leave you standing in a torrential rain-storm, close to the base of the crystal dais. Through the downpour, you can see that the acolytes are slowly returning. They are anxious for the safety of their leader and hungry for the successful summoning of their banished lord.

Despite the chill, you tighten your grip on the icy cold Deathstaff and climb the tiers to the top of the dais. You sense that the crystal dais commands the opening and closing of the Shadow Gate, and you know you must try to close the gate before Shamath appears. In frustration, you raise the Deathstaff and bring it crashing down upon the floor of the upper tier, but it does little damage. It could take forever to destroy the dais this way.

Then a wave of electrical energy crackles around the rim of the great arch and your blood runs cold, for you know that in a dim and distant cavern upon the Plane of Darkness, the Demoness Shamath has just stepped into a Shadow Gate. Her journey to Magnamund has begun!

Turn to 164.

FUCK! Questo potrebbe essere un problema...

Galvanized into action by the fear of what will happen should the Demoness be allowed entry to this world, you cast your eyes and Kai senses across the symbols which are engraved upon the crystal surface of the uppermost tier. Then, in a sudden flash of inspiration, you realize that the symbols themselves are the key to the activation of the Shadow Gate.

You study the symbols and determine that a sequence must be completed in order for you to be able to close the Shadow Gate.

Study the following grid of numbers carefully. When you think you know the missing number, turn to the entry which bears the same number as your answer.13

If you cannot solve the problem, turn to 235.

Riusciremo a fermare gli Occulti Supersovrani dell'Universo ?

[Bortas]

Spoiler

io la butto li secondo me è 9, se il primo rigo fa 26 e il terzo rigo fa 32 la media è 29, quindi il numero mancante potrebbe essere 9, mi è sembrata la relazione più logica, così al volo, lasciando perdere moltiplicazioni e divisioni.

[Jesper]

Allora ragazzuoli, oggi parto per le ferie per 1 settimana

C'è caso che riesca a updatare ogni tanto, ma gli update riprenderanno al ritmo usuale giovedì prossimo!

(nel mentre avete tempo per provare a risolvere l'enigma )

Io io io ho la soluzione :

Eccomi di ritorno

Speriamo che Bortas ci abbia preso, perchè altrimenti siamo nella cacca <.<

With weapon in hand, you climb out of the window. You are expecting the archer to attack you the moment you appear, but the balcony is deserted: he has disappeared. Then your keen eyes catch a glimpse of movement on the roof of a building opposite. It is the archer. He has leapt the narrow street from the rail of the balcony and he is now making his escape across the rooftops of the north quarter.

With the grace of a springing panther, you leap from the balcony and land on the roof opposite. Without breaking your stride, you set off after the fleeing assassin and pursue him to the edge of a flat-topped warehouse at the end of Tavern Lane. Here a plank of wood had been laid down to span the gap of ten yards to the rooftop opposite. The man makes a sure-footed escape across the plank, and then kicks it away to prevent you from following him.

If you are determined to follow him and wish to try to leap across the gap, turn to 42.

If you do not wish to make the jump, turn to 191.

Nove non era la risposta esatta!

Spoiler

La risposta corretta era *EDIT*

our first attempt at deciphering the secret of the crystal dais was not successful and a new sequence of numbers materializes upon the surface of the upper tier.

This time the sequence appears to be harder. Now you will need to bring to bear all your Kai skill and intelligence if you are to break the code and close the Shadow Gate in time. Or will you be defeated by your old enemy, Arch Druid Cadak, even after his death?

Study the following grid of numbers carefully. When you think you know the missing number, turn to the entry which bears the same number as your answer.15

If you cannot solve the problem, turn to 141.

Ok ciurma, abbiamo un'altra possibilità! Il metodo di soluzione dell'enigma è lo stesso, ma i numeri sono tutti diversi. Ce la faremo questa volta ? Non credo ci convenga andare al 141...
