- <p>Before embarking on your adventure, you must first determine your personal characteristics and the weapons and provisions with which you are equipped. On pages 6 and 7 you will find an <a idref='action'>Action Chart</a> on which to record and amend these details as the adventure unfolds. For ease of use during play it is recommended that you photocopy these pages.</p>
- <p>Your personal characteristics comprise two basic attributes: <typ class='attribute'>CLOSE COMBAT SKILL</typ> and <typ class='attribute'>ENDURANCE</typ>. To discover your initial <typ class='attribute'>CLOSE COMBAT SKILL</typ>, take a pencil and, with your eyes closed, point the blunt end of it on to the <a idref='random'>Random Number Table</a> at the back of this book. If you pick a 0 it counts as zero. Add 10 to the number you have picked and write the total in the <typ class='attribute'>CLOSE COMBAT SKILL</typ> section of your Action Chart (for example, if your pencil falls on the number 5 in the <a idref='random'>Random Number Table</a>, you have a CLOSE <typ class='attribute'>COMBAT SKILL</typ> total of 15). When you fight an enemy in hand-to-hand combat, your <typ class='attribute'>CLOSE COMBAT SKILL</typ> will be measured against that of your enemy, so a high score in this section is desirable.</p>
- <p>To discover your <typ class='attribute'>ENDURANCE</typ> level, repeat the process, but this time add 20 to the number you have picked from the <a idref='random'>Random Number Table</a>. Write the total in the <typ class='attribute'>ENDURANCE</typ> section of your <a idref='action'>Action Chart</a> (for example, if your pencil falls on the number 8 on the <a idref='random'>Random Number Table</a>, you have a total <typ class='attribute'>ENDURANCE</typ> score of 28). If you are wounded in combat, or injured at any other time during your adventure you will lose <typ class='attribute'>ENDURANCE</typ> points. If, at any time, your <typ class='attribute'>ENDURANCE</typ> points total falls to zero, you are dead and the adventure is over. You can regain lost <typ class='attribute'>ENDURANCE</typ> points during the course of the adventure, but your <typ class='attribute'>ENDURANCE</typ> level can never rise above your initial score.</p>
