tory

The player is an elven prince who must journey alone through Affen Forest and defeat the Demon Prince Ishtra, who is threatening the kingdom. There are two ways to successfully complete the quest, which result in different final paragraphs. One is by collecting magic items to defeat Ishtra in the real world, the other is by combating Ishtra in the 'dream world'.

Rules

Gameplay involves the ability to cast spells and an extra score, POWER, which is reduced by one every time a spell is cast. POWER is also used in combat when the player sleeps and enters a 'dream world' at various points in the book.
