INSTRUCTIONS
In the region of Hapshal, south of the dark Mountains of Mortran,
a shadow of dread has fallen upon a small village. Every daybreak
the villagers find one or two of their number missing, despite
a night-time watch having been kept. Long ago, the region
suffered under the rule of an evil undead sorcerer, Trantoss. He
was ultimately banished to the far-off mountains and his golden
mace, the source of his power, smashed and scattered far and
wide.
Now Trantoss' servants are collecting the pieces of the mace to
resurrect him from the dead. Two brothers, slow-witted Lobo and
nimble Scarn, are persuaded by the villagers to undertake the
quest of finding and destroying the mace...
The screen is divided into three segments: the left shows the
current location, the middle shows the two brothers and the right
gives the location text and other messages, as well as being the
input window. You can control either brother or both together,
and this is shown by the colour of Lobo and Scarn in the middle
segment. The one being controlled at the moment is shown in
yellow and the other in green when he's in the same location as
his brother, or blue if he's in a different location.
COMMANDS : Mostly the usual (GET, DROP, EXAMINE etc.) but there
are a few others:
TRANSLATE - translate message, inscription etc.
SWAP - change controlled character. Can be used at any
time.
PART - causes brothers to move separately; the
non-controlled brother stays put.
JOIN - causes brothers to move together; must both be in
the same location for this.
