The Gaming Den

You step gingerly on the blue tile, but nothing happens! Hopping from blue tile to blue tile, you enter the northern corridor. The corridor heads north, entering a pillared hallway with a high ceiling. This suits its inhabitant, a three-metre-tall humanoid with grey skin and silvery eyes, clad in a...

After a while the western corridor enters a small stone-walled chamber whose floor is covered with a mosaic of large red and blue glazed tiles. There is another corridor leaving the room from the north wall. If you wish to get to it by stepping on a blue tile to your left , turn to 73. If you wish ...

(And, c'mon, we own the town, and we've got a horde of barbarians, we can all come in if we want) I think Nharog may be saying that the tribe doesn't want to enter it, similar to how they didn't want to come into Firetop Mountain with is. As you enter Deathtrap Dungeon, one of the Trialmasters says...

Empty box If the box is ticked, Deathtrap Dungeon has been boarded up with bamboo screens and you are unable to enter. Turn back to 46. If the box is not ticked, read on below. The entrance to Deathtrap Dungeon is a dark tunnel-mouth disappearing into the inner depths of a looming hillside. Two gre...

I realized that I forgot to factor in the combat bonuses we got from the equipment we bought at Trolltooth Pass during the ninja combat. Unfortunately, even with the extra bonus from the Horned Helmet, we still could not have avoided that one hit we took from the ninja. What I can do, however, is to...

The strange eastern city of Zengis is capital of the barony of Kaypong and lies on the banks of the River Kok, near the looted ruins of the ancient city of Gar-Goldoran. If you have the Code word Overlord , turn to 138. If you have the Code word Slayer, turn to 123. Zengis is at the centre of the g...

You call a Tribal Moot, a grand feast for all, and during the festival you stand on the sacred Stone of Summoning in the middle of the camp and launch into a thundering speech on the glories of becoming warriors in your battle-horde. "Join me, brothers and sisters, as we lay waste to the stink...

"As wide as the Flatlands!" is what an Allansian would say to denote a vast distance, and this certainly applies to these grassy steppes that stretch from the Moonstone Hills in the west all the way to the Sea of Pearls in the far east. Here in the western part of the Flatlands, the monot...

You and your horde are leaving Zengis and the eastern Allansian province of Kaypong. Its willow-clad riverbanks and bambooshrouded foothills are picturesque, but perhaps too peaceful. Could greater glory lie elsewhere? "Look lively, lads!" says Nharog. "Heads high and axes low!"...

(Oh, so if we lose all our honour, we can still recruit monsters? Huh. If we roll the right number when exploring here, that is) The text doesn't make it very clear, but I'm reading it as we still need to trade Honour for troops, so if it hits zero, we can hire more. Otherwise, it feels broken. The...

Die roll = 3! You take a blazing torch from the wall and explore the dungeon beneath Firetop Mountain. One area has become neutral ground, an underworld tavern of sorts, where a bewildering variety of races and creatures meet to drink, plot and seek out jobs, whether legitimate or, more likely, not....

The lone, jagged crag of Firetop Mountain looms above the eastern edges of the Pagan Plains, its summit stained the eerie red colour that gives the peak its name. Several small insignificant hamlets cluster in the dales at the base of the mountain; their peasant inhabitants cower in their hovels as...

You are the overseer of the Dwarf settlement of Stonebridge and you appropriate the large stone house in the middle of the town that used to belong to old King Gillibran. You can rest and recuperate here; roll a die and restore this many points to your current STAMINA score. Remember, though, that ...

If you have both or either of the Code words Destroyer and Reaver , the Healer refuses to see you and no matter how hard you search the hills you cannot find him; turn to 91 . If you don’t have either of these Code words, read on below. The Healer is a reclusive and disfigured hermit who dwells in ...

The Moonstone Hills are a series of rugged uplands in central Allansia, cut through with deep river-valleys, whose grassy hilltops are occasionally surmounted with patches of tangled woodland. If you have the Code word Trollslayer, turn to 115. If not, read on below. The hills are home to all manne...

The great southern walled city of Salamonis is the capital of the kingdom of the same name, and controls all trade into the fertile Vale of Willow. Ruled by the wise King Salamon LVII, its mighty walls are built from massive blocks of ancient stone and look like they could hold back an army of Gian...

Add the Code word Looter to the Code words box on your Adventure Sheet (and cross off Chalice from its City slot on the Your Domain box if it was there). You give the order for your horde to raze Chalice to the ground! Everything goes up in smoke, walls are torn down, and the surviving populace fle...

We'll be heading to Chalice through the Forest of Yore, as that received a full vote. The Forest of Yore is an ancient woodland at the northern border of the Vale of Willow and traditionally home to all manner of reclusive folk. If you have the Code word Reaver , turn to 48. If not, read on below. T...

Empty box If the box is ticked, the seams worked by the Green Metal Mines have run dry and there is no more ore for sale.There is nothing more to do here; turn to 71. If the box is not ticked, read on below. The Green Metal Mines are an extensive series of excavations at the base of Craggen Rock. O...

The great southern walled city of Salamonis is the capital of the kingdom of the same name, and controls all trade into the fertile Vale of Willow. Ruled by the wise King Salamon LVII, its mighty walls are built from massive blocks of ancient stone and look like they could hold back an army of Gian...

For reference:

From Craggen Heights, we were given the options to go to 3 places: Trolltooth Pass, Salamonis and Forest of Yore.

The only place we have visited thus far that allows us to go straight to Craggen Heights from there is Trolltooth Pass.

Unfortunately, from the Forest of Yore, one can only head to either Salamonis or Chalice. It's not clear why there's no way back to Craggen Rock from there. So we'd have to pick a different route.

Empty box If the box above has been ticked, then there are no more rumours to be divulged among the taverns of Chalice. Still, add 1 point to your HONOUR score in the appropriate box on your Adventure Sheet for allowing your horde some fun, and turn to 111. If the box above is empty, tick it now an...

https://i.imgur.com/u271Cu0.jpg Your horde easily storms the walls of Chalice and faces off with King Pindar’s militia in numerous skirmishes across the city’s streets. The militia mainly consists of humans, Man-Orcs and the scrawny race known as Striders, all clad in leather armour and bearing swo...

Chalice is a small walled city that lies amidst green and golden fields on the upper reaches of the Silver River. It serves as a trading entrepôt for prospectors, Strongarms, merchants and others. If you have the Code word Chieftain , turn to 114. If you have the Code word Looter , turn to 103. The...
