-Revision 1.1 2002/10/20 17:06:07 jblake
-Initial revision
-
-//////////////////////////
-
-All occurrences of "ie" in the Frontmatter were changed to "i.e."
-
-In description of "Deliverance", changed COMBAT SKILL to ENDURANCE, as in later editions, and also because it does not make sense - it is not possible (or very, very unlikely) for your Combat Skill to fall to below 8.
-
-In "Equipment - How to use it", under "Weapons", changed the bonus for combat skill from "3" to "5", once again as in later editions and due to the description of Grand Weaponmastery at the beginning.
-
-In the example for the rules of combat, the bonus for using Kai-surge is changed from "3" to "8", for consistency with the rules in the Grand Master disciplines section. Therefore I changed all the numbers in the example further on where appropriate.
-==>JDOUGAN: I believe this might have been undone in the front-matter paste.
-
-Section 23
-The word "raised" should be changed to "razed"
-
-Section 31
-The word "of" should be added to the sentence "They comprise a line..." (so it reads: <ch.apos/>They comprise of a line..)
-
-section 36 3rd paragraph,
-the words "first you" should be swapped around
-
-Section 51 last line
-the hyphen between "much" and "needed" is not needed
-
-section 65 2nd paragraph
-the hyphen between "recently" and "cleared" is not needed
-
-section 108, second last line
-"themsleves" should be spelt "themselves"
-
-section 126, second last line
-"Its" should be "It"
-
-section 149, second last line
-"is" should be inserted between "second" and "a"
-
-section 150, paragraph 9, first line
-"weapons enough" should either be "weapons, enough" or "enough weapons"
-
-section 156
-What if your endurance score is below 15? I reckon that in this case, game over!
-
-section 158
-The links for the Kai alchemy should be swapped - you learn "halt missile" at the rank of Sun Knight
-
-section 241, not really errata, more of a clarification
-of course you can only choose to fire again if you have another arrow
-
-section 257, 6th line of 2nd paragraph
-the hyphen in "less-enchanting" is not needed
-
-section 264, 3rd line of 3rd paragraph
-"I've heard tell..." does not make sense, perhaps "I've heard tale(s)" section
-JDOUGAN: stet. Acceptable informalism (particularly common in the American South)
-
-299, paragraph after list, 5th line
-there is no need for the "s" in "Action Charts" section 343
-note: you need at 3 arrows to follow the link to 180

<description class="blurb">
<p>You are the warrior Lone Wolf<ch.emdash/>Kai Grand Master of Sommerlund. In the distant realm of Nyras a bitter war is waging between the brave knights of Lencia and the evil Drakkarim. The Lencians have won many battles, but now the Drakkarim leader<ch.emdash/>Warlord Magnaarn<ch.emdash/>is near to finding the Doomstone of Darke. If he should succeed he will be capable of destroying the Lencians once and for all.</p>
<p>In <cite>The Darke Crusade</cite>, you must journey through the infernal Hellswamp, trek deep into the forests of northern Nyras and brave the heat of battle. Will you succeed and save your allies? Or will you fall victim to Warlord Magnaarn?</p>

<p>Expectantly, you step closer and investigate this shaft. For the most part it is dark, but you can see glimmers of grey daylight high above, and you can hear the whistling of the wind. But you can also hear another sound, one that is quite unexpected. It is a buzzing, insectile noise. You focus upon the darkness and suddenly you see that the noise comes from nests of winged insects which are fixed all along the inside of the shaft.</p>

Silently the lock disengages and the door swings open to reveal two Tukodak guards, both standing with their backs to you. One feels a draft and glances over his shoulder, but before he can draw a weapon or warn his comrade, you leap forward and silence them with two swift and deadly open-handed blows to the napes of their necks.</p>

- <p>Shortly after midnight you are awoken by the sound of wolves howling. Within a few moments you are on your feet, your weapon in hand as you race up the bank towards the place where you stationed your timber wolf guards. As you crest the bank you see them pacing back and forth, their eyes fixed on the forest<ch.apos/>s edge, their thick white fur standing on end with anxiety and fear. You scour the tree line and at once you see the cause of their concern: Akataz. A dozen of the leathery black war-dogs are slinking in the shadows, waiting for the chance to attack. These ferocious wild dogs are often used by the Drakkarim and you have encountered them before on several occasions. Mindful of past experiences, you recall a weakness of the breed: they are particularly susceptible to psychic attacks.</p>

<p>Armed with this knowledge, you focus your Magnakai skill of Psi-surge upon the pack and launch a sharp blast of psychic energy in their direction. The effect is immediate: the Akataz are traumatized by this sudden assault. Shrieking with fright, the dogs flee from the bank and seek refuge in the dark safety of the Tozaz Forest. Confident that they will not be back, affectionately you pat your two loyal guards then return to the boat to resume your night<ch.apos/>s rest.</p>

- <p>The moment you feel the icy-cold waters of the Gourneni lapping about your legs, you press your shoulders to the stern timbers and launch the boat into the shallows. Prarg scrambles over the side, then turns with his arms outstretched to pull you aboard.</p>
+ <p>The moment you feel the icy cold waters of the Gourneni lapping about your legs, you press your shoulders to the stern timbers and launch the boat into the shallows. Prarg scrambles over the side, then turns with his arms outstretched to pull you aboard.</p>
<p><quote>Quickly, Lone Wolf!</quote> he screams, <quote>they<ch.apos/>re nearly upon us!</quote></p>
<p>With Prarg<ch.apos/>s help you clamber over the gunwale, narrowly avoiding the horns of a Gorodon as you tumble head-over-heels into the bottom of the boat. Unaided, the boat drifts towards the middle of the river and is soon beyond reach of the Gorodons who, despite their hunger, have decided not to pursue.</p>
<p><quote>That was too close for comfort,</quote> says Prarg, as he struggles to free the oars and set them in place. <quote>We can count ourselves lucky to have escaped with our lives and limbs intact. The first time I navigated these channels I lost three good men in a Gorodon attack. These beasts are the bane of this accursed place<ch.ellips/> yet, <ch.apos/>tis true to say, there are other creatures here that are far worse. Far worse.</quote></p>
<p>Using the oars you soon reach the west bank where, once safely ashore, you encamp on a strip of frozen loam that overlooks a bleak expanse of marsh. Night has fallen and so too has the temperature. From the shelter of your upturned boat you cast your experienced eye across the darkening skies and see banks of cloud, heavy with snow, scudding the distant horizon. They are an unwelcome sight, the precursors to a winter storm</p>
<p>Prarg volunteers to continue the first watch but, mindful that his need for rest is greater than yours, you insist that he gets some sleep. For four hours you sit and scan the bleak horizon, your mind filled with unanswered questions about the mission and the dangers you have yet to face. While you ponder what awaits you in the near future, you remain watchful and alert, your encounter on the east bank still vivid in your mind. Fortunately, the increasing cold dissuades the Hellswamp<ch.apos/>s inhabitants from leaving their lairs this night and your watch passes without incident.</p>
- <p>Then the time comes for you to awaken Prarg. With a noticeable lack of enthusiasm he takes his turn while you settle yourself down to catch a few hours of much-needed sleep.</p>

<p>You remove your hand and uncover the proud countenance of King Ulnar V stamped on the face of the coin.</p>
<p><quote>Well done, Prarg. You<ch.apos/>ve guessed correctly,</quote> you say, and press the Gold Crown back into your pouch. <quote>I<ch.apos/>ll stand the first watch<ch.emdash/>you get some sleep. We<ch.apos/>ve a long march ahead of us tomorrow and you<ch.apos/>ll need all your strength.</quote></p>
<p>Prarg breaths a sigh of relief, and while he settles himself down to sleep in the relative comfort of the boat, you pull your cloak about you and climb to the top of Bear Rock where you begin your lonely vigil.</p>
- <p>For hours you sit on this windswept boulder, staring out through a curtain of swirling snow at the surrounding timberline. Despite your fatigue you stay alert and your iron discipline pays off when, shortly before midnight, you sense movement at the forest<ch.apos/>s edge.

<p>Within ten yards of the west bank the boat stops abruptly when it runs aground in the silted shallows.</p>
<p><quote>Curse our fortunes,</quote> grumbles Prarg, peering over the side. <quote>I was a<ch.apos/>hoping we<ch.apos/>d be lucky enough t<ch.apos/>keep our feet dry.</quote> Wearily he searches through the provisions and produces a heavy rope, one end of which he proceeds to tie around the bowhead while you stow away the oars. Then, together, you slip into the cold knee-deep mud and begin the laborious task of hauling the boat towards dry ground.</p>
<p>You encamp on a strip of frozen loam and use the upturned boat as a shelter from the elements. As night falls, so, too, does the temperature.

To compensate for this shortage, the King has employed many companies of foreign mercenaries to reinforce his armies in the field, but their services are expensive and the campaign has already proved costly, both in revenue and lives.

<p>Lord Floras<ch.apos/> report is sobering, yet it serves to strengthen your determination to thwart Magnaarn<ch.apos/>s quest. Later, shortly before nightfall, you leave the cabin and go up to the stern deck for a breath of fresh air. In quiet solitude you see the great expanse of the Slovarian Plain passing by more than a mile beneath the craft and, as you watch, you lose yourself in thoughts of what may await your arrival in Lencia. The night sky is clear and laced with twinkling stars. As you return to the cabin to sleep, you draw comfort from the thought that the weather and the stars have seen fit to help speed your night passage to Vadera.</p>

<p>Soon you reach the west bank where, once safely ashore, you encamp on a strip of frozen loam that overlooks a bleak expanse of marsh. Night has fallen and so, too, has the temperature. From the shelter of your upturned boat you cast your experienced eye across the darkening skies and see banks of cloud, heavy with snow, scudding the distant horizon. They are an unwelcome sight, the precursors to a winter storm.</p>
<p>Prarg volunteers to continue the first watch but, mindful that his need for rest is greater than yours, you insist that he gets some sleep. For four hours you sit and scan the bleak horizon, your mind filled with unanswered questions about the mission and the dangers you have yet to face. While you ponder what awaits you in the near future, you remain watchful and alert, your encounter on the east bank still vivid in your mind. Fortunately, the increasing cold dissuades the Hellswamp<ch.apos/>s inhabitants from leaving their lairs this night and your watch passes without further incident.</p>
- <p>Then the time comes for you to awaken Prarg. With a noticeable lack of enthusiasm he takes his turn while you settle yourself down to catch a few hours of much-needed sleep.</p>

<p>You draw upon your psychic strength to create, in the depths of your mind, three radiant pulses of pure energy. As you watch the advancing Gorodon, rapidly these glowing cores increase in size and power until they resemble a cluster of fiery meteors. The Gorodons increase their speed and come pounding through the shallows, their eyes blazing and their horns lowered in eager readiness to impale you on their razor-sharp tips. They are almost upon you when, with a blink of your eyes, you hurl your psychic pulses directly into their brains. The effect is instantaneous and devastating. It is as if all three have been felled simultaneously by a massive hammer blow to the skull.<footref id="sect190-1" idref="sect190-1-foot"/></p>
- <p>The Gorodons<ch.apos/> forelegs buckle and they are brought down head first into the muddy shallows. Their horns sink deeply into the silt whilst their heavy torsos are thrown forwards by the momentum of their charge. For a few seconds they cartwheel end-over-end; then, with a chilling abruptness, they cease moving and settle into the mud. Your psychic attack was devastating but it did not kill them outright; it was the massive strain placed upon their necks when they fell that ultimately sealed their doom.</p>

<p>Having decided to follow Magnaarn<ch.apos/>s tracks, you are now faced with the unwelcome prospect of a tiring foot-slog through the Tozaz Forest, unless, of course, you can find some other means of speeding your journey. Using your Kai Mastery, you scan the surrounding woodland and send out a silent call for help A few minutes pass, then a wild dog appears. He is soon joined by a handful of other creatures: a young grey-skinned boar, two feral snow-cats and an ape-like Rhudun. Unfortunately, none are large or sturdy enough to carry you any great distance.</p>
<p>Then, from out of the snow-laden undergrowth, bursts forth a wild stag. It is a magnificent animal, as large and as strong as any stallion. Subdued by your commands, it approaches and tilts its antlered head to allow you to climb upon its back. Obediently it responds as you steer it through the forest, heading westwards in the wake of Magnaarn<ch.apos/>s troops.</p>
- <p>Shortly after dusk you come to the banks of the River Shug, close by a small settlement of log huts which are grouped around a derelict ferry post. You dismount, and with a slap to its rump, you send the stag trotting back to its forest home. You watch him disappear towards the distant tree line; then you turn back to the river and approach the huts on foot.</p>

<section class="backmatter" id="footnotz">
<meta><title>Footnotes</title></meta>
- <data>
- <p>(<a idref="tssf">The Story So Far<ch.ellips/></a>) The Drakkarim land of Nyras has been referred to as <quote>Nyraz</quote> in previous publications. We have left it as it stands in this book due to its consistent use here and under the assumption that the author intended this name change.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) The Discipline bonuses mentioned do not affect your permanent scores. If you have completed previous adventures, the Disciplines that you have mastered may still be beneficial. See the Grand Master Rules section of the <a href="&link.rh;">Readers<ch.apos/> Handbook</a> for details.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) Note that this list is not identical to the one used in <bookref series="lw" book="13tplor"><cite>The Plague Lords of Ruel</cite></bookref>: this list is missing the Silver Bracers and Korlinium Scabbard. These items are restored to the list of permissible items from the Kai and Magnakai series again in <bookref series="lw" book="17tdoi"><cite>The Deathlord of Ixia</cite></bookref>. Presumably, therefore, it should be permissible to leave the Silver Bracers and Korlinium Scabbard in safekeeping at the monastery during the intervening books and retrieve them at the outset of <bookref series="lw" book="17tdoi"><cite>The Deathlord of Ixia</cite></bookref>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="discplnz">Grand Master Disciplines</a>) The rules of the books in the Magnakai series (6-12) and the fact that the <quote>rank of Kai Grand Defender<ch.ellips/> means you are skilled in two<ch.ellips/> weapons</quote> imply that for each book that you complete of the Grand Master series (13<ch.endash/>20), you will gain mastery of an additional Weapon. E.g. if you complete <cite>The Plague Lords of Ruel</cite> and have the Grand Master Discipline of Grand Weaponmastery at the beginning of the next book, you can choose an additional Weapon from the list to have mastery of.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="imprvdsc">Improved Grand Master Disciplines</a>) The <spell>Strength</spell> spell is, in practice, also used in armed combat contrary to what is indicated here.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect5">5</a>) This section represents the correct answer to the dragon door lock in <a idref="sect221">Section 221</a>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect33">33</a>) You may take <em>one</em> handful of the Floroa Fungi.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect40">40</a>) This section represents the correct answer to the octagonal door lock in <a idref="sect89">Section 89</a>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect59">59</a>) It is at your discretion whether or not to apply these bonuses cumulatively. It seems that the bonuses are used non-cumulatively (i.e. a Sun Knight would add 2, not 3).</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect72">72</a>) This section is unreachable and superfluous since it is equivalent to <a idref="sect349">Section 349</a> and <a idref="sect185">Section 185</a>.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect89">89</a>) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect121">121</a>) The most reasonable way to treat the temporary <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> gain is reduce your score at the end of combat <em>only</em> if it is above your original score. Another choice would be to reduce your score at the end of combat unless it would cause your score to fall to zero or below. The only other option would be to reduce your score regardless which would make the spell pointless.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect156">156</a>) Reduce your <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points score to 15 only if it is currently above that level.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect190">190</a>) It seems logical that you should deduct 1 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> point due to this use of Kai-surge.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect194">194</a>) This section is unreachable and superfluous since it is equivalent to <a idref="sect19">Section 19</a> but less complete.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect221">221</a>) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect238">238</a>) The weapon bonuses are cumulative (e.g. the Dagger of Vashna which is a Dagger and a Special Item confers a bonus of +1: 2 <ch.minus/> 1).</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect297">297</a>) The most reasonable way to treat the temporary <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> gain is reduce your score at the end of combat <em>only</em> if it is above your original score. Another choice would be to reduce your score at the end of combat unless it would cause your score to fall to zero or below. The only other option would be to reduce your score regardless which would make the spell pointless.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect312">312</a>) It seems logical that you should deduct 1 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> point due to this use of Kai-surge.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect323">323</a>) This bonus is applicable when the missiles are aimed at you<ch.emdash/>not when you<ch.apos/>re aiming them at someone or something else. Note the word <quote>against</quote> and that the list includes bolts and darts which are not normally used by Lone Wolf.</p>
