As you progress through the Tower of Terror, you are likely to

encounter various traps, or face monsters. You will also get

information, or find certain items which will be of help to you in

your quest. You should record these in your quest sheet as well as

keeping an account of how many rations you have left, and which

Potions you have. As you use up rations, or take Potions,

remember to cross them off in your quest sheet.

It is important that you build up a map of the way to the very

top of the Tower. You may not succeed at your first attempt,

but each new journey will give you more information –

until you are at last successful in your quest.

If you try to read the magazine in numerical order,

it will make no sense. You must choose, when you are

given the choice, which section to turn to, and which

traps, puzzles, or monsters to face. Good luck !

ICE and a pencil are all you need to begin this adventure – then

you decide which route to take, which dangers to brave.

INTRODUCTION

IN THIS ADVENTURE, you are at the

Academy of the Grand Wizard Eleutheria.

Although

creature will have its own Dexterity and

Strength score, given in the text. Make a note

of these when you meet the creature.

he has taught you a great deal about the

martial arts, the use of magic, and the power

of reason, he tells you that you have not yet

learnt enough.

But you long to be free of the stifling, safe

Academy; to try out for yourself the skills you

have learned. Your restlessness increases; you

wish to make your own way in the world. You

think about leaving, walking the dark lanes,

challenging anyone who threatens you. You

will be alone. There will be no-one to guide

you.

In this adventure, only your own Dexterity,

Strength, and Courage may see you through.

Below, you will discover – with a little luck –

how swift, strong and brave you are.

You will need two dice, a pencil, and several

sheets of paper. Use the pencil and paper to

draw a map of your progress through the

Tower of Terror – you may not succeed at your

first attempt, and the map will be useful in

future attempts.

To resolve a battle:

1. Roll two dice, and add the creature’s

current Dexterity score. This is its Fighting

Power.

2. Roll two dice, and add your own current

Dexterity score. This is your Fighting Power.

3. If your Fighting Power is greater than the

creature’s, you have scored a blow with your

sword and wounded it. Subtract two Strength

points from its Strength score at that moment.

If the creature’s Fighting Power is greater than

yours in this round, it has wounded you.

Subtract two points from your current

Strength score.

If both scores are the same, you have

parried each other’s blows, and neither of you

lose any points.

The next round in the battle is done in just

the same way. You repeat 1, 2, and 3 above.

When either your or the creature’s Strength

score is reduced to zero, the battle is over. A

zero Strength score means death.

Dexterity, Strength, and Courage

Roll one dice. Add 8 to this number, and make

a note of it on your Quest Sheet. This is your

Dexterity score: a measure of your swordsman-

ship and agility.

Roll two dice. Add 15 to this number. This is

your Strength score. Make a note of it on your

Quest Sheet. This is a measure of your fitness,

stamina, and prowess in battle.

Roll one dice. Add 6. This is your Courage

score – make a record of it on your Quest

Sheet. It is a measure, as the name suggests,

of your bravery in the face of danger.

These Initial scores may never be exceeded.

They will change during the course of an

adventure – sometimes you will lose points,

sometimes win them – but the Initial levels,

determined by the dice rolls, are the maximum

allowed for any particular adventure.

Losing and gaining points.

In some sections, you will be awarded extra

points. (For example, you may read, “Gain 2

Strength and 2 Courage points.”) You add

these to your current Strength and Courage

scores: but remember, these scores may never

exceed their Initial values. When you lose

points (for example, “Lose 1 Dexterity point

and 2 Courage points.”), you simply deduct

these from your current scores.

Replenishing your Strength

You take with you enough food and drink for

five meals. Make a note of these rations on

your Quest Sheet. You may stop for a meal at

any time during your adventure, except during

a battle. Eating a meal restores 5 Strength

points.

When you stop for a meal, add 5 points to

your current Strength score and deduct one

from the number of rations remaining to you.

Rules for fighting

As you progress in your quest, you will often

have to fight creatures of some sort. Each
