N x N z = \b\tLiving on the streets of Persis has been rough, N { I but it has certainly made you strong. Where else but in the Magocratic N | r Kingdom of Persis could even a simple street urchin learn such arcane secrets as you have? Your basic knowledge N } s of conjuration has kept you well fed, and never wanting for water. A few hard-earned enchantments keep you safe. N ~ q A bit of sorcery keeps the darkness away. Summoning has brought you at least some form of friendship. You have N d even begun to dabble in scrying, though your insights are limited to the space of your own being. N ` \bA few days ago, news spread through the kingdom that the King, Ardashir I was dying, N k and because Ardashir II had recently died in a tragic dragon feeding accident, he was left with no heir. N ` A decree was made that a tournament would be held to select a new Mage to inherit the throne. N C You decided that the tournament would be interesting to observe. N 8 No doubt there would be many magi there. Perhaps some N : of them could be persuaded to teach you a spell or two! N } \bWhen you arrived in the throne room of Ardashir Castle, you were only one of six magi in attendance, including the King. N ^ \bThe first was introduced as Balthazar, a very old man dressed in fine white robes. N ; He has served as King Ardashir's seer and adviser N f for nearly a century. It is said that he knows everything that happens in the kingdom at all times. N m No peasant or Lord dare ever even speak ill of the King, for fear they are being spied on by the old Seer. N | That, combined with Ardashir's immense magical power and military genius has made the Magocracy of Persis the most N 3 powerful and fertile kingdom in the known world. N f \bThe second, General Loge has led King Ardashir's army in all of its most glorious battles. N ! He will undoubtedly go down in N n history as the finest War Mage that has ever seen a battle. People still speak of the time he bested N K Amputar the Barbarian in melee combat by calling forth a sword of flame. N r \bThe third was Lilith, Queen of the neighboring kingdom of Partha. It is widely known in magical N z circles that she came by the position by using her enchantments to enslave and then murder the previous Monarch. N m \bThe last mage to receive a proper introduction was Rhiannon, daughter of Amputar, Warchief of the N Barbarians of the Northlands, N x and the Druidess Ethnea. It is said that there is no greater conjuror in all the world. She can feed, shelter, N > and provide drink to her entire tribe with her magic alone. N p She is also fierce in battle, skilled with a quarterstaff, and able to call up vines, stones, and earthquakes N ! in order to defend her people. N B \bArdashir turned to you and said, "And this appears to be \^!> \ " , a low-level street mage." N I \bSuddenly, a plume of violet smoke erupted in the middle of the room. N O From it emerged a petite woman with almond shaped eyes and light brown skin. N o Ardashir looked shocked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. He introduced her as Uzume, N # a summoner from the east. N y \b"You are all here," began Ardashir, "to compete for the title of Monarch of Persis. Though I have no doubt what some N x of you would do with such a title." He glared at Lilith. "The constitution of the Magocracy of Persis states that all N w Lords and landowners must be Magi, and that the most powerful Mage must be chosen for the throne, should the Monarch N v fail to provide an heir of his own bloodline. My seer, Balthazar has informed me that the stars leave no doubt that N v my 240 year old life will be cut short within the space of three days. Far be it from me to argue with the heavens. N r But how shall we determine who is the most powerful mage? I have devised a fool-proof method. You will all stay N = here, in this castle, until one of you proves victorious. "N t \bWith that, the great brass doors of the castle slammed shut, and Ardashir vanished in a cloud of crimson smoke. N w \bThe voice of King Ardashir boomed from the very walls of the castle: "I will transport you to your guest quarters. N Let the contest begin!"\nN a \bThere was another cloud of smoke, and that's when you found yourself in this cozy bedroom. \bN ` \b******************************************************************************************\bN N l l MO fname N N # \b[Restoring saved position...]\bN & N ` ) Your Guest Quarters Your Guest Quarters M N

This is done using Waypoints.N If you have a piece of chalk, you can Enscribe a waypoint on the ground. Then you can Teleport to that waypoint from anywhere. N \bSummoning\bN * There are three main types of summoning.N ! \bSummoning Elementals\bN You read the four long stanzas of the incantations you find in this chapter. You now have bound the services of four elementals to you. N You can summon an Earth, Air, Fire, or Water elemental to your side at any time.

) until their time of service has ended, N \bSummoning People\bN If you Enscribe a summoning sigil on a willing or sleeping person using a tattoo needle, you can summon them to your side at any time. N \bSummoning Monsters\bN In order to summon a monster, first you have to kill it, or have it killed. Then you place a soulstone on the corpse and use a dagger to Sacrifice it. N The soul will be trapped within the soulstone. Then, a summoner holding the soulstone can summon the monster. The monster will obey you and defend you until it is killed. N If it dies its corpse will vanish, so you won't be able to summon it again. You can collect the services of many monsters in this manner. N \bBanishing\bN You read the passage describing the correct words of authority that will allow you to Banish any summoned or animated creature you desire.

? book entitled "Leadership" 4 4 This book tells you how to command your servants. M N P ! \bControlling Servants\bN R To give someone an order, just say their name followed by a comma and then a command just like you'd type to do something yourself. N S c Most creatures will not obey your orders, but you may acquire servants by summoning a sacrificed N T c monster or supernatural being, by charming an unwary opponent, or by giving life to an inanimate N U object. You can make servants do normal things like move, take or drop things, etc, but there are some special commands for servants as well. N W / \bWait: e.g. "earth elemental, wait"\nN X This command makes your servant stay put unless ordered to do otherwise. It is useful for leaving servants to guard an area or to make them N Y stop bothering you. If you tell a servant to wait, and then tell it to go in a specific direction, it will just wait in the new room.N [ 1 \bFollow Me: e.g. "\wumpus, follow me"\nN \ j The servant will go wherever you go. Even if you teleport or are summoned, they will be taken with you. N ] ^ this is a good way to keep track of your servants, and to always have a watchful bodyguard. N ^ m It is also a great way to have someone to carry items for you. if you tell a servant that is following you N _ J to go in a specific direction they will, but they will come right back. N ` ` Summoned and charmed minions will follow you by default, but they may start to wander if they N a 0 flee during combat or are separated from you. N c / \bWander: e.g. "\iron golem, wander"\nN d h This tells the servant to start wandering about. They will stand around in a room for a bit, and then N e f move to a randomly selected location. This is useful when you want to split up and search for items N f or opponents. N h 4 \bAttack: e.g. "\grue, attack the wumpus"\nN i m You do not need to specify what weapon a monster uses to attack an opponent. They will use themselves as a N j x weapon by default. Also, if you order a servant to attack another of your servants it will attack once and then stop. N k z The attacked servant will retaliate once and then stop as well. This also applies if your minions are attacking someone N l N that you then charm. Your minions will soon stop attacking the new recruit. N m q Natural healing is slow, and golems do no heal at all, so you should heal your minion when it becomes injured. N n = You can do this by giving it a container of healing water. N q i \bWhen a servant is in the same room as its master, it will not pick up an item without being told to. N r O If a servant is not in the same room as its master it will still take items. N t This means that they will not interfere with what you are doing, but they can still collect items for you if you let them wander. When a wandering minion finds you, it will drop everything it has collected for you. N v \bN w C ;
? book entitled "Combat" & & This book tells you about fighting. _M N \bAttacking\bN 4 To attack someone you first must wield a weapon.\nN \bHitting and Missing\bN W To increase your chances of hitting an opponent, you must increase you attack level. N [ You do this by defeating an enemy with an equal level or a higher attack level than you. N ` Your new attack level will then become one higher than the level of your defeated opponent. \bN W To decrease the chance of an enemy injuring you, you must increase your armor class. N [ You do this by finding better armor. You can compare armor by using the 'health' spell.\nN \bDamage\bN [ To increase the damage you do to you enemies you must find better weapons.

N E V It is more likely that she will wander the castle in search of objects to transform N F X into golems. However, some golems can be very aggressive, and she may find herself in N G T a fight before she means to. Especially if she finds herself in the dungeon maze. N H V Lilith alone is relatively weak. I'd wager even the street mage could defeat her in N I W melee combat if he had the right armament. The problem is when she starts collecting N J T servants. The secret to defeating Lilith lies in the fact that she cannot enslave N K T you mind with her magic if you concentrate on her and her alone. If you turn your N L X attention to one of her minions and attack them instead of her, or cast some spell to N M T aid you, she will be able to charm you into submission. Most of the mages here do N N P not likely realize this. This makes her even more dangerous to me, because if N O U she manages to enslave another mage, there is little that could stop her. Her tome N P W is probably going to be locked up in her room. With it I could create my own army of N Q T enslaved monsters and animated constructs. But I doubt I would be able to enslave N R O the minds of other mages.

If the elemental N a T is able to defeat a monster, she will sacrifice the monster and capture its soul. N b N Then she will use the captured soul to resummon the beast into her service. N c T The resummoned creatures grip on the physical plane is tenuous, and can be broken N d ! by a banishing ward. Banishing N e : wards are also effective against elementals and golems. N f \ Unfortunately only Uzume and Ardashir have that power. If I can get ahold of Uzume's tome N g Y I would be able to keep Ardashir's summoned and animated beings in check! One strategy N h X for defeating her would be to attack her and run away after she summons an elemental. N i [ If I could manage to elude her, and wait for her elemental's period of servitude to end, N j d she would be left undefended again. The only problem there is that I won't inherit her elementals N k I when she dies. When Uzume is badly injured, she will probably teleport N l \ back to the waypoint she has drawn in her guest quarters. If I can then attack her there, N m I could finish her off. N o \b\^!> \ \bN q : The street mage is not likely to pose much of a threat. N r T fireflies and sleep spells are weak and easy to overcome. Save this one for last. N t \bArdashir\bN v < E < N x R The King is nearly indestructible. The other mages don't likely know that he is N y W participating in the contest. Hopefully my prophecy will prove to be self-fulfilling N z Q He is a master sorcerer, he can cause vines to ensnare his enemies, and banish N { Y summoned creatures and constructs. He can summon his own creatures and animate his own N | J constructs. I know he keeps statues around just so he can animate them. N } 5 I also know that he uses shadow magic as a defense N ~ a and offense, so a sword of light or light magic would be especially potent against him. A dark N X magic defense would protect best against his attacks. I'd have to get these from Loge N < or perhaps the jabberwock still carries the vorpal blade? N R \bThe bottom line is, I'm going to have to get the other mages' spells, and use N U them to defeat Ardashir. I'm the only one who knows where the secret passageway to N the treasury is. N \ He doesn't know that I know, but I set up a scrying mirror so I could watch the entrance. N S Hopefully I can just drop the other mages by trap door into the dungeon maze and N f let the monsters take care of them. Then I'll sneak in via the passage behind the west dungeon cell N I and collect the tomes and keys. Then I'll study the tomes up here, and N 4 finally be strong enough to challenge Ardashir. \nN N V You notice that the rest of the book is still enciphered, despite the fact that you N U are wearing Balthazar's spectacles.

N M N \bThis appears to be a page from one of Balthazar's books. Uzume's air elemental must have swiped it during the meeting in the throne room. N \bLilith\bN X Lilith will probably wait before Rhiannon is killed before attacking anyone outright. N V It is more likely that she will wander the castle in search of objects to transform N X into golems. However, some golems can be very aggressive, and she may find herself in N T a fight before she means to. Especially if she finds herself in the dungeon maze. N V Lilith alone is relatively weak. I'd wager even the street mage could defeat her in N W melee combat if he had the right armament. The problem is when she starts collecting N T servants. The secret to defeating Lilith lies in the fact that she cannot enslave N T you mind with her magic if you concentrate on her and her alone. If you turn your N X attention to one of her minions and attack them instead of her, or cast some spell to N T aid you, she will be able to charm you into submission. Most of the mages here do N P not likely realize this. This makes her even more dangerous to me, because if N U she manages to enslave another mage, there is little that could stop her. Her tome N W is probably going to be locked up in her room. With it I could create my own army of N T enslaved monsters and animated constructs. But I doubt I would be able to enslave N O the minds of other mages. That talent of Lilith's has as much to do with her N 6 physical attributes as it does her magical power. \bN @ MO actor N !EN G N

Suddenly you realize N V Z that it is not a dragon, but a polymorphed King Ardashir that you have just defeated. \bN W t \tArdashir rises to his feet. "Well done, street mage." he chuckles. "The prophecy of Balthazar said that I would N X u be dead in three days time. And that I must choose an heir among the strongest of Mages, or my kingdom would fall. N Y v But I know that even prophets can be liars. Even one I held so trusted as Balthazar might use a prophecy as a curse N Z y against me, and as an excuse to name an heir. No doubt he and Loge were conspiring against me, and against each other. N [ ~ But that is not why I agreed to the contest. You may have guessed that already. I designed this castle as a trap for mages. N \ O Let my most powerful enemies battle each other until none are left standing. N ] v Having Lilith killed will make the annexation of Partha a trivial manner. Rhiannon was the only thing keeping those N ^ { troublesome barbarians alive and fighting. Loge and Balthazar were plotting against me, and now I've taken care of them. N _ y I did not count on the Summoner appearing, nor did I think a weak hedge-wizard like yourself would ever come this far. N ` That is a matter easily rectified, however.

It has a healthy dose of MUD-like combat, N% _ but hopefully you won't find it to be very MUD-like either. There are a few puzzles to solve N% ` around the castle, but the main obstacles are the other Mages in the game. These Mages should N% \ be thought of as players, just like you. Each one of them can move about the castle, pick N% ^ up objects, find secrets, and get into fights. They also each have their own unique special N% ] abilities. These abilities can be yours if you are able to read their spellbooks. The goal N% D of the game is to defeat the other mages and learn their secrets. N% _ You'll find that you won't last long in direct combat with most of the Mages, you'll need to N% e use your own special abilities to gain the upper hand. You can learn to use the spells you know by N% b reading your spellbook. Your spellbook will also automatically record any new spells you learn. N% b There are many possible strategies that may lead to victory. You could try to find good weapons N% Z and armor, and improve your combat skills enough to defeat another mage in open combat. N% b You could wait until two mages start to battle each other, and then snatch the items off of the N% j corpse of the loser. You could even discover the secrets of the castle, and use them to your advantage. N% k There is a lot of information about the game hidden in the game itself. Try reading books in the library N% k or asking the other mages about various things. Try watching what the other mages do, and imitating them N% d after you've taken their powers. You could even try to avoid the contest altogether, and see what N% 3 happens when the other mages are left alone... \nN% +N% FST+b B ll x x c 8 8 L L 0
