Illustrated by Gary Chalk -

Joe Dever, the creator of the bestselling Lone Wolf adventure books and novels, has achieved world-wide recognition in three creative fields&emdash;as an award-winning author of international renown, as an acclaimed musician and composer, and as a games designer specialising in role-playing games.

-

On graduating from college in 1974, Joe Dever became a professional musician, and for several years, he worked in the music industry in Europe and the United States.

-

While working in Los Angeles in 1977 he discovered a then little-known game called Dungeons &ersand; Dragons. Although the game was in its infancy, Joe at once realised its huge potential and began designing his own role-playing games along similar conceptual lines. These first games were to form the basis of a fantasy world called Magnamund, which later became the setting for the Lone Wolf books.

-

Five years later, in 1982, Joe won the Advanced Dungeons &ersand; Dragons World Championships in Baltimore, an event held before 16,000 people. Inspired and encouraged by his success at Origins, Joe decided to quit the music business and devote his time to writing and games design.

-

In 1983, after a brief spell at Games Workshop in London, he wrote Flight from the Dark&emdash;the first Lone Wolf interactive gamebook. His manuscript immediately attracted a frenzy of interest from three major London publishing companies, all of whom bid for world rights. Joe accepted an offer of publication from Hutchinson's (later to become Century Hutchinson Ltd; now Random House UK) and Flight from the Dark was first published in 1984.

-

This first book sold more than 100,000 copies within its first month of publication, and overseas rights were snapped up by twelve countries (including the United States, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and Sweden). The success of Joe's first book laid the foundations for the future of the Lone Wolf series, which has sold millions of copies around the world.

-

The Lone Wolf series ended after 28 books and 14 years. Joe has continued to work in the games industry as script writer and games design consultant.

-

Gary Chalk, the illustrator of the early Lone Wolf series, was born in 1952, grew up in Hertfordshire, England. Being interested in history, he began playing war games at the age of fifteen. When he graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts in design, Gary spent three years training in a studio before becoming a teacher in art and design.

-

Gary was working as a children's book illustrator when he became involved in adventure gaming, an interest which eventually led to the creation of several successful games. He is the inventor/illustrator of some of Britain's biggest-selling fantasy games including Cry Havoc, Starship Captain and Battlecars (co-designed with Ian Livingstone). He is also known for his work on the very successful game, Talisman.

-

Gary was working at Games Workshop when Joe Dever asked him to illustrate some of his manuscript of Flight from the Dark. The two teamed up after that and, they continued to work together until the eighth book in the series, The Jungle of Horrors.

-

Gary has also drawn the illustrations in Redwall and related books, The Prince of Shadows gamebook series, and several books which he also authored. Gary continues to enjoy war gaming and works as an illustrator and model maker. He maintains a website with examples of his work.

In the northern land of Sommerlund, it had been the custom for many centuries to send the children of the Warrior Lords to the monastery of Kai. There they were taught the skills and disciplines of their noble fathers.

-

You are Lone Wolf, and you are now the last of the Warrior Lords of Sommerlund. One year ago, the ancient enemy of your people&emdash;the Darklords of Helgedad&emdash;suddenly invaded Sommerlund and completely devastated the Kai monastery. All of the Kai warriors were in attendance for the feast of Fehmarn, and all except you were massacred.

-

You fought your way to Holmgard, the capital of your country, where the King sent you upon a desperate quest for help. Your mission was fraught with great danger, for Sommerlund had been betrayed by one of its own magicians&emdash;Vonotar the Traitor. His agents sought to kill you at every opportunity, but your skill and strength defeated their evil aims. You returned to Holmgard at the head of a great fleet&emdash;the allies of Durenor&emdash;and destroyed the Darklord army that besieged your capital.

His agents sought to kill you at every opportunity, but your skill and strength defeated their evil aims. You returned to Holmgard at the head of a great fleetthe allies of Durenorand destroyed the Darklord army that besieged your capital.

Much of Sommerlund was ruined by the war. The rich farmlands were laid waste and many towns were razed to the ground. But the Sommlending are a tough people and were undaunted by the enormous task that lay ahead. They set about the rebuilding of war-torn Sommerlund with such determination that now, one year later, few of the scars of war remain visible.

-

For the crucial part that you played in the victory, the King has bestowed upon you the rank and title of 'Fryearl of Sommerlund', a rare honour for one so young. The ruins of the Kai monastery and much of the surrounding lands are now 'Fryelund' under your protection.

-

Work to rebuild the monastery was about to commence when disturbing news from the north prompted the King to summon you to the capital. Many merchants, returning from the summer trading expeditions to Kalte, told of the fall of the Brumalmarc&emdash;the leader of the Ice Barbarians. The description of the hunchbacked magician who has succeeded the fierce Brumalmarc fits only one man&emdash;Vonotar the Traitor.

Many merchants, returning from the summer trading expeditions to Kalte, told of the fall of the Brumalmarcthe leader of the Ice Barbarians. The description of the hunchbacked magician who has succeeded the fierce Brumalmarc fits only one manVonotar the Traitor.

After the defeat of the Darklords, Vonotar escaped to the frozen wastes of Kalte. He made his way to the ice fortress of Ikaya where, through deception, he tricked the cruel Brumalmarc into adopting him as his magician. It was a mistake that was to cost the barbarian leader his fortress and his life.

The news that Vonotar still lives spreads like wildfire throughout Sommerlund. Thousands of Sommlending surround the capital and demand that Vonotar be made to pay for his treachery. So great is the outcry that the King is obliged to promise that the evil traitor will be brought back to Holmgard, and made to stand trial for his crimes.

Before you set off on your adventure you need to measure how effective your training has been. To do this take a pencil and, with your eyes closed, point with the blunt end of it on to the Random Number Table. If you pick 0 it counts as zero.

The first number that you pick from the Random Number Table in this way represents your COMBAT SKILL. Add 10 to the number you picked and write the total in the COMBAT SKILL section of your Action Chart. (i.e. if your pencil fell on 4 in the Random Number Table you would write in a COMBAT SKILL Of 14.) When you fight, your COMBAT SKILL will be pitted against that of your enemy. A high score in this section is therefore very desirable.

The second number that you pick from the Random Number Table represents your powers of ENDURANCE. Add 20 to this number and write the total in the ENDURANCE section of your Action Chart. (i.e. if your pencil fell on the number 6 on the Random Number Table you would have 26 ENDURANCE points.)

If you are wounded in combat you will lose ENDURANCE points. If at any time your ENDURANCE points fall to zero, you are dead and the adventure is over. Lost ENDURANCE points can be regained during the course of the adventure, but your number of ENDURANCE points can never go above the number with which you start your adventure.

You are to travel to Ikaya by sledge. Two sledges have been loaded with enough food, and equipment for the mission, each drawn by a team of six Kanu-dogs. This sturdy breed are native to Kalte and make ideal sledge dogs. Their thick tawny coats and powerful chests, as well as their renowned vigour and enthusiasm make them well suited to the harsh work ahead.

Your three guides, Irian, Fenor and Dyce, are all experienced trappers. They are skilled at survival in this icy desert, and have experienced its many unseen dangers. Once the dogs are in harness, you and Irian climb aboard your sledge and signal to the others to lead the way.

As the Ice Demons passed through the Vagadyn, their spirits were imprisoned in crystals by the cunning Ancients, who harnessed the power of the Ice Demons to build Ikaya. The Mlare bowls that light the fortress each contain the spirits of lesser Ice Demons trapped within. You also remember that the tale warns against destroying the crystal prisons: if an Ice Demon is released it will seek to claim the body of its rescuer.

Forewarned by your Kai skill, you enter the misty arch.

The corridor is poorly lit and it would be easy for you, skilled as you are in the art of hunting, to approach the guards under cover of the shadows.

Covering your nose from the fumes of the bowl, you edge your way along the wall towards the unsuspecting guards. Placing the bowl in the shadow of a pilaster, you stealthily return to the kitchen to await its effect. In less than a minute, the Ice Barbarians collapse to the floor and you can approach the Hall of the Brumalmarc undetected.

(1) The city name Anskavern in this section is spelled as Anskaven in some maps. It is unclear which spelling is correct.

-

(4) All other Bone Swords in this book are recorded as normal Weapons. (cf. Section 26 and Section 210)

-

(8) You may wish to note the fact that you have applied this oil on your Action Chart. However, it does not take the space of any item and only affects you for the duration of this adventure.

-

(10) You may not examine any of these liquids more than once per liquid.

-

(16) You may choose which Backpack Items to discard, as it is not specified. If you have fewer than two items in your Backpack, then you get away with losing one or zero items.

-

(18) Remember to erase this Weapon or weapon-like Special Item from your Action Chart.

-

(26) The two Bone Swords are normal Weapons.

-

(32) If in a previous passage you have already fought or killed any of these Kalkoth, mark off the damage that you inflicted on them before resuming the fight. If the earlier fight statistics only listed two Kalkoth because you sneaked up on the Kalkoth and killed one, ignore the statistics for Kalkoth 3.

-

(41) You may still keep the Blue Stone Triangle (you need not erase it from your Action Chart).

-

(45) The Silver Key referred to here must be a Special Item. If you have a Backpack Item called a Silver Key, it does not count.

-

(55) The permanent loss referred to here is probably just the COMBAT SKILL loss, and not the ENDURANCE point loss.

-

(61) This peculiar ending is the only time in the entire Lone Wolf series where you can fail your mission without actually dying. Despite the fact that it may take quite a bit of effort to get here, it does not count as a completion for this adventure. You still may not use your character in future adventures.

-

(84) You may record this Special Item as a Blue Stone Triangle which you wear around your neck.

-

(88) Picking a 9 for your combat roll does not result in instant death; only picking a 9 on the extra Random Number described results in death.

-

(91) You may wish to note the fact that you have applied this oil on your Action Chart. However, it does not take the space of any item and only affects you for the duration of this adventure.

-

(132) It is probably acceptable to eat a Meal right now, if you have one, to avoid this ENDURANCE point loss.

-

(138) Even when conducting an extra combat round for evading, you are still subject to turning to Section 66 if you lose any ENDURANCE.

-

(139) The Laumspur Potion referred to here is specifically referred to as Red, which indicates a special concentrated Potion. The regular Laumspur Potion offered in the Equipment section does not qualify.

-

(263) Even when conducting an extra combat round for evading, you are still subject to turning to Section 66 if you lose any ENDURANCE.

-

(303) Remember to erase the Silver Key you just used from your Action Chart.

-

(308) Mark this Special Item as a Silver Helm. If you are already wearing another Helmet, you must discard it if you wish to keep this new find. The text is somewhat ambiguous on this matter, but it is likely that the COMBAT SKILL bonus is magical in nature, and not the result of any physically protective value it might have (which may very well be nil).

-

(350) Later books will contradict what is said concerning the Daziarn. The portal Vonotar is thrown into is known as a Shadow Gate, which in this case, is what leads to the Daziarn Plane, a realm from which no one has ever returned.
