The Gaming Den

I don't think we should waste a Magic Point we will very probably need later.

Also, search the larder like a boss.

thirded

"prolonged search" has an unpleasant ring somehow, it implies a lot of things could happen. My vote is for no searching and going directly through the double doors.

the text is elaborately warning us, so is it a way to scare us off from something useful or a way to troll us once we've blundered into a trap ? Maybe we'll have to take a Luck test - is it worth it ? Also, what could we find here potentially useful ? Obviously some weapon or armor. Is it worth it ?...

go left

metagaming it, I don't think opening should be too hard. Then again, it could bring a fight where we might roll wrong, or a Luck test we'd better avoid…

First, eat, since I believe we're still at 12 Stamina ? Then, go for it and magic the door like a boss.

toss away !

Ouch.

Eat, then go east, young woman.

How are you interpreting the loss of MP for spells life Fireball that fail because we lose the combat round? Do we still lose the MP? I think it makes sense that we should lose the MP as long as we try to cast a spell, even if it doesn't work. Seconded. Damn, I bet every other encounter will leave ...

Actually, it was written entirely by Carl Sargent. But you may be right as far choices go - he may have integrated the Livingstone tropes.

I'll stick with east though, and may the gods smile on us.

There's an error in the combat log, we began at 21 (3 Stamina lost for wyvern bad breath )

Otherwise, since we have been going to the SW, West is right and East is left. So my vote is, explore Eastern ruins and hope the book works that way.

we need to hit it 8 times and it needs to hit us 11 times, we have something of a buffer although I'd wish for a bigger one.

Let's fight wthout magic but use Luck only if we fall to 3 Stamina ( since the idea of taking this fight was to spare Luck )

meet random denizen.

Herbal liqueur is worthless with our stats, so I suggest

- Potion of Stamina
- Plague Antidote
- Empty Bottle
- Rope

( maybe the rope will only spare us a Skill test we'd probably succeed, but it doesn't hurt to be sure )

Yaztromo's speech seems to implies Castle Argent grows more demonic as time goes; so shop fast, leave young and make Zagor an incinerated corpse

pay for the plot token

Buy interesting things ( there it goes again, we're this world's savior and we have to pay for everything out of our own pocket )

My former attempts on this book ( which never got far :mrgreen: ) were by rolling according to the rules, with Braxus. I still think if you roll he's the best choice. Here my choice is . We play as Jallarial, Jallarial, Jallarial ! . With max stats . And while we're at it, max gold. If the majority ...

Sounds all right to me ( one victory for social justice ! )

I would oppose the wizard on ethical grounds.

3 of the characters have been reused from the Zagor Chronicles novels, but in the said novels Sallazar was dead, his sister Jallarial was the magic-user.

So, tjis smacks of a "no FF player would ever want to play a CHICK" editorial decision.

I vote for Curse of the Mummy, the earlier non-nerfed version if possible.

It IS hard but I think the ambiance rocks.

Greetings I have been lurking on your forum for some time, however I now appear to point out a detail. I only knew Night of the Necromancer throough a fanmade French translation of the 1st version, and it appears to differ from this version on another point than adding prerolled characters. Namely, ...
