Book Description:

The once peaceful world of Orb is in terrible danger. Dark forces are at work to unleash the awesome might of the Evil One - and only YOU can stop them. YOUR mission is to destroy the Talisman of Death before the dark lord's minions reach you. But beware! Time is running out!

The adventure sees you visit towns and caverns in order to reach the ultimate destination of your quest. On your way you will have to dispose of some tough characters and solve some nasty puzzles. There are many tricks put in place by thieves and deities alike, and only the toughest may overcome them. The dark side creatures you will come across have all sorts of extra features to them that will leave the unwary adventurer dead in a heap in no time at all.

Unique to this adventure is the fact that on certain occasions when you die, there will be the opportunity of a resurrection. This means that games can go on for a long time, and possibly indefinitely if you have low SKILL scores. It does mean that once you get halfway though you can sometimes go back there if you make a mistake without having to negotiate the town again.

There are plenty of interesting characters that you will meet on more than one occasion on your journey. These pop up constantly to try and thwart you, and this is not an adventure in which low skill scores will take you to your goal. Keeping the talisman is also a trying experience, and it is not long before you will find that you lose it, and recovering it can be the toughest part.
