THE CHARACTERS

STEROFF:  The hero of the party is this fine fellow. Portraying yourself he
is pretty good at just about everything.

JERUB:  He  might  be getting on a bit, but what Jerub lacks in strength he
more than makes up for with his magical spells.

CRYSELLA: With her long fair hair, Crysella is not really the fighting type
but she's a dab hand with a bow, and is a pretty good thief.

PAGAN:  A  strapping  young chap, Pagan is the perfect warrior. He's brave,
skillful and not too bright. If you have any trouble just send him in.

PLAYING NOTES:-

The  only  character  that  you  can  possibly afford to lose and yet still
complete the game is Pagan.

It is best to keep Jerub healthy - his magic can sustain the others if they
become severely injured.

There  a  number  of  locations  with  lots of food. There is a tree in the
Forest with many apples growing on it if you climb up to get them. There is
also  food in the Kitchen of Suzar's Castle, in a cupboard in the shack and
in the corner of the passage near the start of the game.

Jerub  can  only  cast a few spells per day before he becomes too tired. He
must  be  well  fed and rested, and then he is able to cast more spells the
following day.

The  Cloak, the Diamond Ring and the Necklace are capable of protecting you
from some forms of magic that you encounter.
