SECTIONZ =Bribing the Barmaid

. 1J I1 -_

Reaching into the small moneybag at your waist,you show the woman a shiny gold coin. “Ten goldpieces say you can direct me to my friend.” __

She glances quickly at a table, where four brawnyTehnite gamblers wearing snakeskin garb playcards. One of the Tehnites smiles up at her, and shenervously smiles back.

Leaning forward, she whispers, “Meet me be-hind the bar. Make sure you are not followed, andbe discreet in leaving lest you arouse my swain'sjealousy.” - v

Waiting until the Tehnite is absorbed in his cardgame, you slip out into the balmy night.

Behind the tavern, you find the barmaid waitingand glancing furtively around. A '

“What do you know of the tattoo?” ' ' '“The gold,”, she says, extending her hand. You

give her the ten gold pieces (mark them "off yourstatus chart), and before she speaks she inspectseach coin in the misty light. .

"The tattoo belongs to men who have crewedonthe ships of Salamar._ Babfahd, as scurvy a seadog asyou will find. You will find his ship, the Midnight

Bubbles float around your head, and small,brightly colored fish dart for cover. In seconds, yourise to the surface again and swim for ParadiseCove. ‘ . -

Nearing the cove, you see a small,l gray-mastedsloop sail away. Shrillscrcams meet your ears, andyou see Ketza Kota, her wrists bound, sailing away.You realize that the theft was only a diversion toseparate you from Ketza Kota and that she has falleninto -the .hands of -Slayers. - -

Reasoning that Ketza Kota was taken for herbeauty, you can only assume that she is destined forthe harem of a Hitaxian sultoon, or for a kingdomfarther north where captured women--—especiallybeautiful ones-—are forced into unholy servitude.

There are two places where you may search forthe beautiful Slith woman. You can either try tolearn the identity of her dead would-be captor inthe gaming halls of St. Koal (Section 6) or head tothe slave markets on the chance that she was takenthere (Section 13). i

Throughout the iislands are ‘broken remnants ofGaragusfs rule. One of them is St. Koal Castle. Itsgray battlements look out over the ocean like abrooding despot. Long out of service,‘ the old castlewas converted into a slave market, and the greatwalls, which were once built to keep invaders out,now hold people in. _ ' |

Late at night, after restiiig for the afternoon‘ (gain7 hit points), you climb pa tall cliff that leads to theVanian castle. Peering up, gyou see tall, thin Tan-zulan guards carrying long spears silhouettedagainst the high towers. E

Throwing a cloth-wrapped -grappling hook to thetop of the thirty-foot wall, you begn your ascent. Asyou climb, your feet slip on the crumbling walls andsend a shower of small pebbles, clattering to‘ theground. L 3

You wait motionlessly in the shadows, prayingunder your breath that the great. god Telchur willdim the guards’ senses. Fortune smiles on you asyou hear the guards chatter among themselves.

“The slaves . . they smell and attract rats . . .”“But we are slaves,” another says. .“We are different. We hold spears." ’With a devilish smile, go to Section 17.

One morning, ti.1\/ledigian Ireighter is spotted. Itis a slow, lumbering craft, and the men are anxiousto pirate her. However, Rabfahd declares that thecraft is not to be attacked. =

Bitter rumors spread among the crew? like wild-fire. Some. say that Rabfahd has turned coward,while otherssay he has struck an agreement withthe Medigians and that they are paying the pirate

—\not to attack their shins. . _L - - ..,. . |

As the sun goes down, you sense thatithe mo-ment is ripe for mutiny. Calling several crewmentogether, you prepare your speech. The rightspeech can provoke a mutiny. One wrong word andthey will turn against you. , __

As the pirates secretly gather, three modes ofpersuasionhave crossed your mind. You considerappealing to their greed and telling them ofa myth-ical land of treasure in the Crimson Sea. You couldappeal to their anger with the captain,’ claiming thatyou will give them a fairshare ofthe booty. Or youcould simply tell them the truthabout Ketza Kotaand hope that out of sympathy they will join yourquest. - i .1 .E

As you reach the market, there are only fiiteenmen hiring out their servioes._= For each man youhire, gain 1 ship strength point. In orderIto get thesailors, you must bid against the two other traders.

Bidding works like this: You may bid from 10 to30 gold pieces ongany sailor. Note this by writingthe number of gold piecesyou‘ bid on each sailor inthe left-hand? column .l1Il(ll=:I‘ yourgname. Then fiip'Ithe pages twice. Each -flip multiplied by 10 repre-isents the bid ofone of the other bidders.

Raising your sword high over your head, you.deliver an arcing blowi to the Giant Lobster. Itsishell splitsin half, and the? hideous creature dropsto the sand. (Gain 3 experience merlcs.)

Alter killing the massive beast, you remove itsarmored shellfi and cook the meat underneath. (Be-gain 13 hit points.) T ", " ! - I

While you eat, you? eye the. armor and get anidea. ,IRemovi.;ng the hard breast shell from theCiantLobster, you put it over your chest. It fitsperfectly. Using the: legsi as shin and thigh guards,you have 13- suit of armor. l . -_ é _

The Giant Lobster armor shall senreyou well. Incombattwith any opponent, it will knock 2 hit pointsoif every, attack from your opponents; Therefore, ifan opponent does 3 points of damage to you, it willbe reducedzto-1, and, ifhe does 2 pointsof damageto you, it not countat .111. ’ ;

It is not Ilong before you get a chance to ‘test itout. Burning ;eyes peer at you from behind jaggedrocks, and suddenly.an'owsI arc through the air andstick in your armor hut do not penetrate. ;

As you jump to-yo1.u' feet, four screaming nativescome after, you. They-are Aborites, an island people

"Wnrned5 of youri presence‘ in the Crimson Sea,Hitaxians prowl the water in small, fast cruisers.

It comes as little surprise when the lookout cries,“Black sail on the horizon!" - . . - --

Running to thebow, you spy the trilangulali sailswhich rise above the water like _sharks’ifins. = _.

“All hands ongdecl-1|”; you shout. “Prepare for'bat-tle.” _ . . .

You are about to do battle ='at sea." Chrhbat at Fseaworks in the following 'mannei'. The Midnight Reap-er has 30 ship strength points. The ships you willencounter will have less. However, you may ?en-counter more than one Ship. Battle isfdone ship ‘byship. Thus, if there is more fl‘l&DIi0I1B ship, ydu fightthem one at a time. Flip the pages. I. .__

Beneath the Rock IThe old, gnarled Fexian pirate squints as he

reads, “Under these rocks are buried the bones ofscurvy mates who attempted to steal treasure.Gaze upon their horror and shudder. With that,the pirates lift the rock and see the contortedclothed skeletons of several men, their mouthsopen wide as if they had been screaming when theydied. ...I , ‘., 1 ,

A hiss of recrimination driits. through the crowd,and fights break out. Four men die beforeyou canquell the quarrel. (Lose 4 ship strength points.)

“As you were,'j men. We must search in at leastone more place.” . p _ 5 _

With a low, discontented rumble, the men calmdown. Now you may lead them to one of the othersearch. points, To climb the tall mesa and inspectthe island, go to, Section 77, Tojnvestigate the steepbutte, go f0 SBCHOII 92. I ;

_ In a numbbr ofiplaces in this book, yvil]encounter enemies and choose to, or have to, fightthem. There can onlybe three possible outcomes"-toa fight: you can win, lose, or flee. .1 :_

Winning a fight: -You =win=a fight‘ when you havereduced an "enemy’s hit points to zero. Or, in situa-tions -when you are fighting, more thanone enemy,you. win when you have reduced all of the enemies’hit points "to zero. a _ -

Losing afight: You lose a fightiwhen your numberof available hit points falls to zero. E _ ~

Fleeing a fight: When youlfeel that you mig"htlose a particular fight, or that the fight isn’ti worthhaving, you may try ., to flee, Fleeing is a 50-50proposition. If you Hip the pages and get an evennumber, you have successfully -fled. -

You may only attemptto flee'befi:>re your combatturn, and only once per round. _ U

When you have successfully fled, look iin the‘"flee" section of thecornbat page,‘ and it -will-direct"Y011ij to another -page. X _ * I ' " - , E

Be warned.-_ Some ‘adversaries are impossible to=flee from. They are specially marked. If you fail" to.flee, continue thecombat normally. i : =
