It also contains my favourite ilustrations (although strangely enough I really hate the cover?). Loved the 'feeling' of evil that pervaded this adventure, making it feel that bit more important and dramatic than the average. As a final good point, the book can be defeated on even modest stats: no how many FF books can make that claim (none because they can not speak).foadironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359889221156012366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-74022795470198587352009-06-30T15:48:25.346+12:002009-06-30T15:48:25.346+12:00"a silver cross (did Jesus save Allansia'..."a silver cross (did Jesus save Allansia's souls?)"<br /><br />There are crucifixes in other FF books as well; I seem to recall one in "Vault of the Vampire" and "Spellbreaker', and you can even improvise one by crossing candlesticks in "Howl of the Werewolf" (which I just finished). Maybe Jesus saved more worlds than we know (even though he ain't mentionned at all in all those books about Titan history).<br /><br />As for "Dead of Night", this is probably one of my favourite books, and Stephen Hand one of my favourite authors. It's a pity you haven't got "Moonrunner", because it's his best one and probably one of the best FF books altogether.Meneldurhttp://rdv1.dnsalias.net/forum/index.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-74731255891680275962008-11-21T06:07:00.000+13:002008-11-21T06:07:00.000+13:00Thanks for visiting my blog, Dan : ) I used to hav...Thanks for visiting my blog, Dan : ) <BR/><BR/>I used to have a Livejournal page, but I took it down...blogger integrates better with my website. I have read your LJ though...even though I'm in snowy Canada, I enjoy reading about the happenings of life in New Zealand.

There's no exact 'true path" but lots of different helpful items or hints to aid you if you made the right decisions (and that includes visiting the priest and Sharleena, though I can't figure out how you missed the latter). It's not easy, by any means, cause the opponents you meet towards the end are pretty tough. But this is one of the few books designed such that you don't need superman stats to win, if you found the right items and hints and picked the right skills. Basically, lots of fun sidequests that are not essential (like killing Magrand, which you passed) but adds more to the adventure overall. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, the fact that you have an "Evil" score was sufficient hint to me in most of my choices. Picking fights with your own village folks (even the obnoxious, annoying ones. remember, you're a Templar here, and most religions...well, good religions....even in Fighting Fantasy....don't encourage killig humans), are a big no-no, as is leaving a village oppressed by evil wizards without helping them out. :)<BR/><BR/>The skeleton in the cage had me laughing the first time I read it. It's funny whenn you consider that the hero who strikes fear in the hearts of Demon Princes and most undead creatures would be embarrased by a simple skeleton, who can't even be bothered to actually attack you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
