<description class="blurb">
<p>The moment you draw the dagger from your belt, a blue flame courses the length of its twisted blade and the squealing flood of Crypt Spawn soar upward towards the roof in order to avoid you. They and their creator, Darklord Kraagensk<ch.ucirc/>l, recognize the power you wield and both are in awe and terror of it. Freed from the threat of his loathsome summonations, you now advance upon Kraagensk<ch.ucirc/>l with the dagger before you. He screams in anger and lunges at your head, his sword ablaze with tongues of black fire. You catch the blow on the tip of the dagger and both blades spark furiously as their terrible powers collide.<ch.ellips/></p>

<p>The first number that you pick from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> in this way represents your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>. Add 10 to the number you picked and write the total in the <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> section of your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>. (i.e. if your pencil fell on the number 4 in the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> you would write in a <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> of 14.) When you fight, your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> will be pitted against that of your enemy. A high score in this section is therefore very desirable.</p>
<p>The second number that you pick from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> represents your powers of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ>. Add 20 to this number and write the total in the <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> section of your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>. (i.e. if your pencil fell on the number 6 on the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> you would have 26 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points.)</p>
<p>If you are wounded in combat you will lose <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points. If at any time your <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points fall to zero or below, you are dead and the adventure is over. Lost <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points can be regained during the course of the adventure, but your number of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points can never rise above the number you started with.</p>
- <p><strong>If you have successfully completed any of the previous adventures in the <cite>Lone Wolf</cite> series</strong>, you can carry your current scores of <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> and <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points over to Book 12. You may also carry over any Weapons and Special Items you have in your possession at the end of your last adventure, and these should be entered on your new <a idref="action">Action Chart</a> (you are still limited to two Weapons and eight Backpack Items).</p>

<p>The fact that you are skilled with three Weapons does not mean that you begin the adventure carrying any of them. However, you will have opportunities to acquire Weapons during your adventure.

<p>During your adventure there will be opportunities to use a Bow and Arrow. If you equip yourself with this weapon, and you possess at least one Arrow, you may use it when the text of a particular section allows you to do so. The Bow is a useful weapon, for it enables you to hit an enemy at a distance. However, a Bow cannot be used in hand-to-hand combat; therefore it is strongly recommended that you also equip yourself with a close combat weapon, like a Sword or Mace.</p>

- <p>(<a idref="sect5">Section 5</a>) Be aware that these choices originally read <quote>three rounds or less<ch.ellips/></quote> and <quote>longer than four rounds<ch.ellips/></quote>. We<ch.apos/>ve arbitrarily changed the first choice to read <quote>four rounds or less<ch.ellips/></quote>, erring in the reader<ch.apos/>s favour.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect61">Section 61</a>) Crowns or Lune may not be used in lieu of Kika in this instance.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect75">Section 75</a>) <cite>Lone Wolf Club Newsletter</cite> clarifies: <quote>Although the Sommerswerd has been drawn and used within the Darklands, you were able to use it to destroy Kraagensk<ch.ucirc/>l before he could make use of the communicator to inform Gnaag of your presence. The port of Argazad is on the fringe of the Darklands and, because of its remote location, your unsheathing of the Sommerswerd did not directly alert Gnaag in Helgedad. The Sommerswerd combat with Kraagensk<ch.ucirc/>l was true to Rimoah<ch.apos/>s warning (<a idref="sect282">Section 282</a>); it did alert him to your presence and betrayed your true identity.</quote></p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect145">Section 145</a>)This loss of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> is permanent (cf. <bookref series="lw" book="07cd"><cite>Castle Death</cite></bookref> <bookref series="lw" book="07cd" section="sect129">Section 129</bookref>).</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect159">Section 159</a>) The Bronin Vest may be worn with a Padded Leather Waistcoat, but not with a Chainmail Waistcoat.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect162">Section 162</a>) Crowns or Lune may not be used in lieu of Kika in this instance.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect179">Section 179</a>) You may still risk taking the Black Cube if you wish.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect184">Section 184</a>) Crowns or Lune may not be used in lieu of Kika in this instance.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect187">Section 187</a>) The Zejar-dulaga occupies the same space in your Quiver as a normal Arrow. If you have 6 Arrows, you may discard one in favour of the Zejar-dulaga.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect200">Section 200</a>) If you only possess the Kai Discipline of Hunting<ch.emdash/>not Huntmastery<ch.emdash/>you may no longer hunt for food as you venture deeper into the Darklands.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect221">Section 221</a>) Crowns or Lune may not be used in lieu of Kika in this instance.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect268">Section 268</a>) It is possible that your permanent <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score might fall to zero or below due to the Sea-scavenger<ch.apos/>s attack, but you may be wearing a piece of armour that gives you an <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> point bonus. This would leave you with a permanent <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score of 0 with a current <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score still above zero. If your basic <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score is reduced to zero or below, you are dead and your adventure is over.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect350">Section 350</a>) The next book in the <cite>Lone Wolf</cite> series is entitled <bookref series="lw" book="13tplor"><cite>The Plague Lords of Ruel</cite></bookref>.</p>
