Rob Hatton PLAY-THROUGH.... PART THREE.... However, after a few moments of tentative rowing I begin to build some confidence, and am soon making impressive headway across the lake. It seems like no time at all before I make landfall upon the shore of the little island, and drag the boat up onto the bank to make sure I have a safe method of return to the mainland. Making straight for the grave, I am surprised when I behold the incomprehensible scrawl which covers the whole headstone, which appears to be in no language known to man. However, I am given the option of spending a point of luck in my attempt to decipher the strange script, which I eagerly do. Happily, after spending some considerable time studying it, I begin to make sense of the writing. It basically tells the story (in the first person) of the man buried here, and how he fell in love with a Mirror Demon, who tried to take him through her portal into another dimension. He survived this encounter (though perhaps his sanity did not) and took from the demon a gold ring, which he promptly buried himself alive with! (Presumably after scrawling his own epitaph on his gravestone) Its at this point that I spot the very same ring (Presumably) half buried in the surface soil, which I decide to take with me, and stand up to return to the boat. It’s then that I finally spot the ragged corpse of an old hag which was propped against the other side of the stone, though it’s a wonder I didn’t smell it, and I walk around to better see the thing. Around it’s neck is a strange green key on a chain, which I pluck up the courage to take and examine, and I see the word “Angelicas” inscribed on it. Whilst I ponder the significance of this, I see a movement in my periphery and to my horror I regard the corpse turn it’s ghastly head to look directly at me, before uttering a soul-rending scream. The creature before me is a Banshee, an undead nightmare which has come to herald my doom, but I don’t intent to stick around. Dodging the creature’s initial lunge I run full pelt for the boat, but unfortunately not quickly enough, and I feel her filthy claws rake my back. I don’t stop for a moment however, and I dive into the boat, using my momentum to propel the craft into the water. The Banshee halts at the water’s edge and lets forth another terrible howl, but I ignore this whilst concentrating on rowing away from the island at top speed. I pause for breath when I am half way to the shore, counting myself lucky to have escaped that situation with my life, but little do I realise that the danger is far from over. All around my boat the water suddenly begins to boil and surge, and from beneath it’s surface emerges a vision from a nightmare, an huge alien head with spider-like eyes and a mass of writhing tentacles. Whether this is an octopus, a kraken or something akin to a Lovecraftian horror, it’s intent is the same regardless..... my demise. The tentacles curl around my pathetic little tub, ready to break it to pieces at a moments notice, leaving me with few prospects of escape. But from somewhere within my terrified mind I formulate a plan of action, and reaching into my coat I pull out the flash light I found earlier, directing it’s beam directly into those predatory eyes. The effect is instant, though only temporary, as the creature flinches away from the artificial light and consequently releases the boat. With this one chance to escape I row for my life, but the recent exertions have taken a toll on my stamina, and the tentacles once more wrap themselves around the boat. This time there is no escape as the boat, with me trapped inside it, is pulled beneath the surface of the cold, black water......... THIS ADVENTURE ENDS HERE..... |

Hi David, are you sure you completed it? There should be a star instead of the dread skull'n'cross bones! |

'War of the Wolf' - This is the eleventh book in the Saxon Stories series by leading historical fiction author Bernard Cornwell. And, at time of this RC recommendation, the latest Uhtred Ragnarson adventure set in late Dark Age Britain. Uhtred, the ageing warlord of Bebbanburg (later to be known as Bamburgh Castle) has journeyed from Northumbria to help the besieged city of Caester (Chester) from a rebellious army. However, this is only the start of a serious undertaking: Uhtred soon sets about finding Skoll, a ruthless Norse chieftain with designs on becoming a powerful king in his own right. His ambitions prey upon smaller kingdoms, including that of Bebbanburg: of this Uhtred is all too aware. But Skoll's fearsome reputation rivals that of Uhtred and soon the wolf banner of Bebbanburg must duel the wolf banner of Skoll - the War of the Wolf must be fought to its brutal, bloody end! Yet another fantastic adventure in the Saxon Stories. Towards the end of this year we'll likely see a twelfth instalment, depicting a power struggle between two strong contenders for the Saxon Crown.... |

This game is immortal. I played and optimally won it once; now I'm playing again. There must be something in here I've not seen yet. |

Regarding 'death' entries, years ago fans on FF.com were asked to choose their favourite gruesome endings! After a while the trademark final sentence, 'your adventure is over!' became somewhat over-used and ruined the effect; the penultimate sentence was much more final, for example: 'the quicksand tugs your body down to the murky depths of a slimy grave....' It could either trail off or end with a simple full stop. One of my most memorable deaths was from 'Beneath Nightmare Castle', taken captive (for a second time), and subject to a contest called 'Stonedrop' as described on entry 157. |

I almost always favour a '...' for my death paragraphs and I don't think I've ever used a 'your adventure ends here' or something similar because it's blatantly obvious and kinda overused. |

with all the howling and the snarling in the intro, it seemed to be some kind of werewolf story, but the main character is a hobbit or midget? its ok as a adventure but the who is who and what races they are seemed a bit confusing? |
