In this micro gamebook, you will be pitted against a malevolent sorcerer who wields dark
magic. However you have powers of your own to defend yourself.
This fight gives you many different attack options, like Way of the Tiger, a variety of
powers and abilities like DestinyQuest, the ever-changing combat from Sword of the
Samurai’s battle with the undead samurai, the diversity of opponent’s attacks from
Blackstaff Adventures, impressive 1-on-1 mechanics like Duelmaster, and many extra’s
of my own!
Combat
During this adventure you will be pitted in combat, hence it is important to understand
how combat works. You must record your enemy’s Hp on your Battle Sheet and keep
track of it throughout the entire combat. To work out the combat follow the steps bellow.
1. Your turn: Choices: At the beginning of combat you may choose to move to a
new location via choices given to you in the text below the combat. Follow the
instruction in the text and then turn to the section corresponding with your choice.
Go to step 3 of combat.
2. Your turn: Technique: Choose a technique from your list of chosen techniques on
your Battle Sheet. Discard required cards to pay the cost of using the technique
and apply the effect of the technique. If you are unable to use any of your
techniques you may discard cards at the cost of 10Hp per card discarded.
3. Between turns: Draw cards until you have five cards in your hand.
4. Chthon’s Turn: Attack: Roll one die and consult you opponent’s attack chart.
Follow the instruction under his attack chart. Apply damage and turn to new
sections as needed. Then return to step 1
Techniques Explanation
You will notice that each spell on the technique list below there are three columns; one
saying the name of the technique, one with a cost, and the last with the effects. When you
choose to use a technique you must first discard cards from your hand in order to pay the
cost of the technique
Paying the cost of a technique is as follows: Examine the first combination of number
and suit. Discard cards from your hand of the same suit as in the cost, whose face values
sum equal to or greater than the number in the cost.
For example: 7♦ could be paid for by discarding the seven of diamonds, or by discarding
the five of diamonds and four of diamonds at the same time (which would be greater than
the cost, but potentially the only combination in your had that would satisfy the cost)
Follow the same method for every number and suit under the cost of the technique. If
multiple suits are given along with a number, you may use cards of any of the suits
indicated to pay the cost.
For example: 10♠♣♦♥ could be paid for with the two of hearts, the six of clubs, and the
three of spades.
If there is an “n” in place of the number, then you may choose how much to pay.
For example: 10♦, n♦ could be paid for by discarding the seven of diamonds, and the
five of diamonds to pay for the 10♦, then by choosing to discard the nine of diamonds to
pay for the n♦ you have an “n” value of nine.
If there is “all” in place of the number, then you must discard all cards in your hand of the
indicated suits to use the technique.
For example: all ♠♣♦♥ would indicate that you have to discard your entire hand.
IMPORTANT: all face cards have a value of 10. Ace has a value of 1.
Under the Effects section, if you see “Damage” then you may subtract however much
damage is dealt from your opponent’s Hp.
For example: 10 Damage would indicate you can subtract 10 from your enemy’s Hp.
If you see “Hp” you may add however much Hp is indicated to your Hp. This cannot take
you over your Full Hp score.
For example: +10 Hp would indicate that you may add 10 to your Hp.
If you see “Card” then you may add however many cards are indicated to the number of
cards you would normally draw during the Mid Turn combat step.
For example: +2 Cards would indicate that you may draw until you have seven cards in
your hand during the Mid Turn combat step.

Back-story
You have been hunting Chthon for quite some time. The dark mage is a master of
trickery and has eluded your many traps and snares. You have just barely been able to
track the flight of Chthon. Eventually you find yourself in front of the gates of the
fortress Bamajeda. You push open the heavy iron gates and walk inside. You stride into
the great hall of Bamajeda and look around; you see nothing, until you look up to the
balcony looking over the great hall. Chthon’s gaunt face is peering down at you from the
balcony.
“You’re end is nigh!” you call up to him, as you ascend the steep staircase up to the
balcony.
“I believe you are mistaken young mage,” Chthon drawls, “You have never faced me in
person and you do not know the extent of my powers; I am giving you this final change
to leave, otherwise I shall be force to extinguish you and your meddling ways
permanently.” The dark mage taunts.
“Never. Prepare for vengeance.” You utter, as you raise your hands to cast a spell.
