The Baga-Darooz; Lone Wolf; Shadow on the Sand: part 2

Описание: "The Zakhan of Vassagonia, the imperial ruler of this desert empire, has sent his most trusted envoy to seek a treaty of peace between your two countries, and you have been asked to sign the treaty on behalf of your country. The reason for this is easily apparent.

Less than a year ago, a renegade noble of Vassagonia called Barraka led his army of bandits in an attack upon the Sommlending province of Ruanon. This mining town and much of the surrounding land was overrun and destroyed. Many Sommlending lost their lives, and many more were enslaved and forced to labour in the mines of the Maaken Range. When the regular convoy from Ruanon failed to arrive at the capital, the king sent you to investigate. A great battle ensued in which you defeated Barraka in mortal combat. Without your courage and skill, the safety of Sommerlund and all of the Lastlands would have been placed in grave peril."

Lone Wolf is an amazing gamebook series from back in the day, it's a contemporary of Fighting Fantasy, The Way of the Tiger, Golden Dragon gamebooks, the Blood Sword series and even the Tunnels & Trolls solo adventures etc. In this series we play as Lone Wolf, the last of the Kai Monks. Not only do we have special skills but we get to carry items over from one book to another (and while no item from a previous book is ever absolutely required for success they certainly do help). In fact Lone Wolf, Blood Sword and the Way of the Tiger are the only book series' that allowed us to play the same character in one continuous story. For example, you can find a single use item in book 1 which cannot be used in book 1. It can be used in book 3, or book 4 but not in both.

Lone Wolf also operates on a more open and less restrictive series of paths than many other gamebooks. In this series choices are less about right and wrong and more about which flavour of story you'd like to experience (and whether the skills you possess will support the choices you have made).

I've been meaning to record a Lone Wolf marathon for quite some time now and hopefully you all get to enjoy it with me.
