<p>You are Lone Wolf<ch.emdash/>Kai Grand Master of Sommerlund. During your long voyage home from a successful quest you discover the Dark God Naar is poised to unleash a horde of fire-breathing dragons upon the Kai Monastery. Will his agents assassinate you <foreign xml:lang="fr">en route</foreign>? Or will you manage to arrive at your monastery in time to take command of the New Order of young Kai warriors in what could be their first and final battle against Naar<ch.apos/>s champions of evil?</p>

- <p>With dread, you cast your eyes across a nightmare landscape that stretches in every direction to a horizon dancing with fire. Streams of blazing lava cut fissures through the coal-black soil, and pools of molten mud, glowing cherry-red, spout geysers of yellow flame that seem to claw vengefully at the orange sky. The heat, and the stench of sulphur, is overwhelming.</p>
+ <p>With dread, you cast your eyes across a nightmare landscape that stretches in every direction to a horizon dancing with fire. Streams of blazing lava cut fissures through the coal-black soil, and pools of molten mud, glowing cherry-red, spout geysers of yellow flame that seem to claw vengefully at the orange sky. The heat, and the stench of sulphur, is overwhelming. (Erase the Sun-crystal from your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>.)</p>
<p>The Lavas drops you onto the shifting black soil and soars upwards until it disappears into the roiling clouds. In the middle distance you see a herd of dragon-like creatures, snorting fire as they lumber slowly across this hellish plain. You sense great danger, and when you focus your Kai skills at the approaching leviathans, you are shocked by what you learn.</p>
<p>You have been transported to the Plane of Darkness, the domain occupied and ruled over by Naar, the Dark God. The approaching dragon-creatures are massing to enter the Shadow Gate that lies several hundred yards at your back. They are Naar<ch.apos/>s newest creations, and you sense that if they are allowed entry to your world, Sommerlund and the Kai are doomed.</p>

- <p>The sun is now above the horizon and this hamlet is slowly stirring to life. You decide to wile away the next hour or so by looking around its simple shops and riverside stores. One building in particular catches your eye: it is a hall perched precariously on the end of a wide wooden jetty. You can hear an old man<ch.apos/>s voice trailing from its open doors, answered by the occasional murmur of a crowd. Inside you discover a wizened old cleric administering to a sick woman whose head is swathed with bandages. The cleric is attempting to cure the woman of her ills by laying-on his hands, but the pressure is simply making the pain in her head feel worse.</p>
+ <p>The sun is now above the horizon and this hamlet is slowly stirring to life. You decide to wile away the next hour or so by looking around its simple shops and riverside stores. One building in particular catches your eye: it is a hall perched precariously on the end of a wide wooden jetty. You can hear an old man<ch.apos/>s voice trailing from its open doors, answered by the occasional murmur of a crowd. Inside you discover a wizened old cleric administering to a sick woman whose head is swathed with bandages. The cleric is attempting to cure the woman of her ills by laying on his hands, but the pressure is simply making the pain in her head feel worse.</p>
<p><quote>Charlatan,</quote> mumbles one onlooker. <quote>Old fake,</quote> whispers another. The aged cleric hears these dissenting voices and he becomes flustered. Although he may be incompetent as a healer, you sense that he is a good man at heart and so you decide to save him from the disgruntled crowd, who look as if they are on the brink of throwing him in the river at any moment.</p>
<p><quote>Hold, good brother!</quote> you say, moving swiftly through the crowd to the small stage on which he and the bandaged woman are standing. <quote>You should not be placing your hands upon this good woman<ch.apos/>s head. Surely the source of her pain stems from her aching heart!</quote></p>
<p>And with this you take hold of the man<ch.apos/>s hands and place them on the woman<ch.apos/>s chest. Her first reaction is one of shock and she starts to pull away, but when you transmit your own healing powers through the cleric<ch.apos/>s hands and into her body, the pain in her head suddenly vanishes. A smile of pure joy lights up her face and hurriedly she strips off her bandages.</p>
<p>You draw and fire an Arrow in the blink of an eye. The shaft whistles through the trees and hits the war-dog squarely between its hideously yellow eyes. For a few seconds it continues to bound forward; then its front legs collapse beneath its weight and it crashes, nose-first, into the soft forest earth.</p>
<p>Swiftly you shoulder your Bow and run headlong into the trees, desperate to make use of what little time you have gained by slaying the pack leader.</p>

<p>Gradually the wounded dragon yields his ground. He twists his head violently back and forth, as if he is trying to cast away the pain; then slowly he turns his back on you and lumbers towards his herd.</p>
- <p>You seize this opportunity to make a dash for the Shadow Gate. However, the wraith-like manifestation of Naar senses your intention and sends his Lavas swooping down to block your path. Hurriedly they form up in a line at the entrance to the Shadow Gate, forcing you to fight or retreat. Knowing that they block your only means of escaping from this nightmare realm, you draw your weapon and hurl yourself against them in a frenzied attempt to break through their line.</p>
