I thought the travelling caravan of Abjul a nice touch -- but a bit fortuitous, wouldn'tcha say? -- and the Messenger of Death is one of the most interesting creatures in the FF universe.<br /><br />"Unknown" brings up a good point. So many "evil wizards trying to take over the world" in the land of Titan! They must grow like ivy there.Cashiom McAllisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-71369450614713641792016-05-08T08:17:51.487+12:002016-05-08T08:17:51.487+12:00Yeah, this one was fairly forgettable.

Stumbled through a maze a dozen times, killed a wizard, turned to 400"<br /><br />The Temple itself was easy compared to the Desert of Skulls. Either path beats you down pretty badly, then pits you against a sandworm (10/20). The desert was the tough part... but also the memorable part.FightingFantasyFanhttp://www.fightingfantasyfan.info/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-72136474644818995292013-01-09T14:29:28.689+13:002013-01-09T14:29:28.689+13:00Wow.

There's things in the book I want to experience that I think could be really fun, but I didn't get to any of them. I found the adventure really clunky and uninspired. Ian covered in paragraphs what could have been said in one...just to fill space. 'Turn left or right?' 'Here are rats. Fight them. Pick up key'. 'Here's a humanoid creature. Buy things or trade'. I got to the Death Dog and decided to let him kill me, just so I wouldn't have to carry on. I'm much more excited at the thought of being impregnated with Sky Lord's bastardised love child than I am at the thought of playing through this adventure again.

Rather, it's noe of those occasions where the book inexplicably asks you if you have an item in your back pack which, for no apparant reason, you hadn't bothered with for all the other fights. Worse still, the item is only available via a test earlier on in the book.<br /><br />Having said all that, I still love this adventure because it's still good (ridiculously difficult) fun.foadironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359889221156012366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-57991078635287263272011-06-09T19:29:32.712+12:002011-06-09T19:29:32.712+12:00I don't remember too much about this one, whic...I don't remember too much about this one, which is never a positive sign. I do remember the whole Messenger of Death thing, partly because I used that wonderfully horrific image of him pointing the finger in a collage which I did in Year 6 art class.<br /><br />The 'Evil Wizard / Witch' thing gets a bit old. Out of the fantasy books to this point (1,2,3,5,6,8,9,11,14) 6 out of the nine involved an evil sorceror / wizard / witch, usually who wanted to rule the world!Aussiesmurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503529901076228210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-35852449032589718462008-06-14T21:28:00.000+12:002008-06-14T21:28:00.000+12:00What, hitting it with a spool of cotton?What, hitting it with a spool of cotton?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420300163867766297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-26476221507715214942008-06-13T05:52:00.000+12:002008-06-13T05:52:00.000+12:00You do have to fight the Night Horror to win.
