STARTING A GAME: THE RANDOM LUCK OF CHARACTER GENERATION
When you select a new game from the main menu, you are presented with
a screen which asks you which character class you would like to play with.
You options are: FIGHTER, THEIF, MAGE, and THUG. Once you select your char-
acter's class, a complete character, whose stats are displayed on the screen
is generated for you. If you wish to keep the character press the "y" key.
If you want to try your luck at getting a better character, then press the
"n" key. if you wish to return to the class selection menu, press the "ESC"
key. As is always the case, the different classes have different strengths
and weaknesses in their characteristics.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORTONVILLE: TOWN OF THE ADVENTURER
After you have chosen your character, you are faced with the main menu
for the town of Mortonville. From the town's menu you have the option to
enter the weapons shop, stay at the Econo - Inn, visit the oracle for advice,
enter the dungeon, or quit to DOS.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE WEAPONS SHOP
Once you enter the weapons shop, the screen changes to display the
gold you have handy, and the weapons which are available to your character.
When you buy a weapon from the list, its cost is automatically subtracted
from your gold. Note that since there is no place in the game where you can
equip your weapon, your equiped weapon is which ever weapon you bought last,
continued on page 2
or in the case of starting a new game, your characters starting weapon.
(The starting weapons for each character class are found further on in this
manual.) There is no warning to deter you from buying a weapon which is
inferior to the one you already have. If you do do this, your weapon attack
will change to that of the inferior weapon, which is basicly a large waste
of gold.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ECONO-INN
The Econo-Inn is just that, economical. The prices do vary slightly
depending on which class of character you chose. However, the effects are
still the same. When you stay at the Econo-Inn, you will regain all of your
hit and spell points. You will also gain a level if you have gained enough
experience. Due to the very cheap price, you should be able to afford to stay
at the inn as often as need be to regain your hit and spell points so that
you are able to battle your way through the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ORACLE
When you visit the house of the oracle, the oracle gives you a little bit
of advice. These tidbits of advice change as you reach higher levels. Once you
have reached level twenty, you will always get the message "Your training is
complete, good luck on your quest!".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENTERING THE DUNGEONS
When you choose to enter the dungeons, a screen will pop up wishing you
luck. With the press of a key, you begin your "on the job training" in the art
of combat. To return to town, simply make sure you are on level one and hit
the "H" key. This function and others are documented further inside the game's
help files.
