Four Heroes have banded together, attempting to defeat the evil forces at work in the Dungeon. The creatures there are foul and dangerous and many challenges lie ahead. But the four are among the few who have the skills and bravery to succeed...

Can you help the Heroes win through in the ultimate test of skill and courage?

Heroes
The four Heroes in the game are:
Regdar - Human Fighter; highly skilled with weapons of all types, with great physical strength.
Mialee - Elven Wizard; has powerful combat spells and also skilled with a bow.
Jozan - Human Cleric; skilled magic user specialising in healing. Also skilled in close combat.
Lidda - Halfling Rogue; using stealth Lidda is able to sneak up on opponents and also tackle any traps that the Heroes encounter.
Each Hero has a card to monitor their progress, which records Hit Points, Spell Points and Items collected, and provides additional character information.
Adventures
The quest is made up of eleven Adventures, each following on from the former and becoming progressively more difficult.
The Heroes increase in power correspondingly.
The first Adventures guide both the Dungeon Master and the Heroes through the basic game concepts.
As the heroes complete further Adventures they become more experienced and collect increasingly powerful items to help them in their quest. The Dungeon Master also becomes stronger, gaining more powerful monsters to pit against the Heroes.
Guidance
The game contains both a Dungeon Master's and a Player's Guide. The Dungeon Master's guide shows the layout for each adventure, including board orientation, and feature location. The Player's Guide provides rules for play and a background for each Hero, along with their attributes and skills.
Playing the Game
The fundamental game is very simple. The Dungeon master lays out a number of gameboards as shown in the guide. Only the Dungeon-Master knows where anything is and it is up to the Heroes to discover the correct route through.
On each turn, a character or monster may make one movement and take one action.
Movement of both Heroes and Monsters is very simple, with each character being able to move up to their maximum allotted number of spaces on each turn.
An action may consist of an attack, casting a spell, opening a chest, searching for traps or a variety of other possibilities.
Over sixty weapons and spells are available for the Heroes to find and use in their Adventures. Spells can be used to attack monsters or to help the Heroes in other ways.
COMBAT
The combat system is very simple, but allows for many exciting and powerful weapons, spells and monsters.
Each Hero and Monster has a "life force" measured in Hit Points and an Armour Class value representing their resistance to attacks.
Weapons and monsters have an attack value which corresponds to assorted coloured dice.
When attacking, the corresponding attack dice are rolled and an attack value is obtained. The damage done to the defender is the attack value rolled minus the defender's Armour Class. The damage is then removed from the character's Hit Point value and recorded on the character's card.
For example: Regdar rolls 6 on the dice when attacking. It is used against a Goblin, with an Armour Class of 2. 6 - 2 = 4, so the goblin receives 4 Hit points of damage. If it only has 4 Hit Points on its card, then it is destroyed and Regdar has been successful.
There are no complex tables or values to remember. Combat is very simple and quick to learn.
Dungeon Encounters
On their Adventures Heroes will discover:
Monsters
Eleven different monsters can be found in the Dungeon, with hoards of up to six of any one type. Each monster has its own skills and attributes, along with a fearsome attack. The Dungeon Master controls every monster, including its position in the rooms, and uses the monster cards to keep track of each monster's attributes.
Traps
Littered throughout the Dungeons and forests are many fiendish traps and only the Dungeon Master knows their location. Lidda, being a rogue, is able to disable traps - if she can find them!
Chests
Chests are potential sources of new weapons and items for the Heroes, but beware - some may contain booby traps!
DESIGN YOUR OWN ADVENTURES!
Included in the game is a photocopiable, blank Dungeon layout, to allow new Dungeons to be designed by the players themselves.
The game will be expanded in the future, with extra components added to make new Adventures and challenges.
