VIII. TOWTJ
While in town, you may perform various
activities in the buildings: shoppes, healers, taverns, inns, guilds. If your party
includes a character with Persuasiveness,
the cost to you is decreased slightly.
A description of the buildings, activities, procedures, and costs follows:
S h o p p e s : Shoppes sell weapons, armor,
magic, or torches. Enter the letter of the
item you wish to buy and then the number
of the character to whom it is to be given.
The word " m o r e " appears if there is more
in the shop than can be listed on the
screen at one time. Use the - and
keys to page through long lists. Various
shops may carry a given item. Shop
around within a town and in other towns
for the best bargain.
Healers: Here you may heal damage,
poison, unbind, and resurrect characters.
Healing costs are determined per point.
Poison has a straight fee. Unbinding depends on the level of binding.

Resurrection depends on the level of

the character. These costs are not affected
by Persuasiveness.
Taverns: Here you may buy provisions
and talk to other adventurers. Each tavern
has clues essential to the game.
i n n s : You may sleep here. To sleep at the
Inn costs money, in contrast to setting up
camps somewhere in the plains. However,
you gain 2 hit points and 10 spell points
per day of sleep and may sleep many days
in a row, which is helpful after completing
a hazardous quest. The price includes
meals.
G u i l d s : There are a few wizards' and
fighters' guilds scattered about. A character with the required amount of experience may be trained for his next level, but
only in a guild of the appropriate class.
There is no cost for the training. To exit
the town and return to the outside, press
<ESC>.

IX. CAMP
While moving through the outside, you
may set up camp whenever you choose
by pressing "C". There you may print a
hard copy of your characters, sleep, inspect a character, cast a healing spell,
reorder your party, trade items, drop
items, equip a character, hunt, identify
items, or use items.

Inspect: Inspect a character. There are

three pages of information the character's 1) statistics and hit points, 2) skills,
and 3) inventory (an arrow points to each
equipped item). To return to the camp
menu after any page, press <ESC>. To
bypass the skills list, press any key. To get
a printout, press "P".

Use the following commands:

O a s t a s p e l l : A wizard may cast a camp

spell, such as Heal, Wind Walk, or Magic
Torch.

P)rint characters: Make a hardcopy of

one or all of your characters. The date
and the current time in Ymros are given
on the printout.
S)leep: Sleep is required each day. As
you sleep, each character eats one point
of Provisions, gains 1 Hit Point, and 5
Spell Points. Since you cannot sleep in
bright daylight, you wake at dawn. Warning! A poisoned character loses 1 point
per hour; sleeping 8 hours could be fatal.
A character who does not eat because of
lack of food loses 1 hit point.
9

R)eorder: Change the order in which the

members of your party are walking. Your
characters are seen on a 3 X 3 grid.
T)rade: Trade items from one character
to another. Equipped weapons and armor
must be unequipped before being traded.
Each character may hold up to 10 items.
D) rop: Get rid of an unwanted item. Once
dropped, an item cannot be recovered.
E) quip: Ready a character with armor
and weapon. Daggers may be used by

anyone. A character may be readied with

any other weapon only if he has the required skill. To equip with nothing, enter
"0". Be sure to equip after purchasing
new weapons and armor.
H)unt: A character with the Hunting skill
may attempt to hunt once per day. If the
hunt is successful, you are told and you
gain some provisions.
Ddentiiy: A wnzard with the proper skill

may identify items once per day. The

wizard must have the item; trade it to h i m
first. Different items may require different
areas of knowledge.
U)se item: Use any item, such as a torch,
lantern, magical item, or potion.
< E S C > : Exit camp. If you are too tired,
you may not leave camp. The computer
notifies you. Use the Sleep option to overcome the tiredness.

X. HINTS ON GAME PLAY

A party of 4 or 5 characters is probably
the o p t i m u m . Two wizards and two fighters are a m i n i m u m .

Keep a good record of the clues you

find on your adventures. Forgetting a clue
could cause trouble later.

You begin play on the west half of Ymros.

Since the encounters on the east half are
much tougher, wait until you gain a level
or so before moving too far to the east.

Don't be afraid to let your wizards fight.

They are especially effective against other
wizards. Like your wizards, the enemy wizards have daggers only. Fighting should
not be too risky, and it can be helpful
when your fighters are busy with the
tougher monsters.

When casting spells, try to play on a

monster's weaknesses. Casting a Weakness spell on an ogre only may put him in
the realm of human strength, but casting
a Chill spell on the already clumsy monster is very effective. Don't restrict your
spell casting to storm spells and Column
of Fire. Wise use of the other spells can be
much more effective.
Start looking for a guild after completing your first dungeon. Fighters' guilds
are fairly common, but don't plan to find
a wizards' guild too soon.
Save your gold to help pay for future
resurrections. Make sure that you always
have gold remaining after buying new
items.

If you have an Apple He, keep your

CAPS LXDCK on. Many game functions do
not recognize lower case characters as
commands.
Save the game often. That way, if anything goes wrong, you can continue from
a recent point.
Keep away from places where the monsters are too tough for you. If your party
members are falling right and left, leave
immediately. Either search for an adventure that isn't as demanding or j u s t wander the island a bit longer.
