Fire on the Water posted:You spur your horse through the tangle of trees until you enter a small clearing. Six Szalls are jumping excitedly around the writhing body of a man on the ground. A strangely carved spear is stuck in his chest, and lying dead beside him is the body of a Knight of the White Mountain. The creatures are shrieking at each other and appear to be unconcerned with the man’s obvious agony.

Use Healing. The Szalls are possibly distracting, but weak. I doubt they'll mess with us.

Fight them off first so we don't end up with a spear in our back too.

Tiggum posted:That is dangerously close to being a spoiler, so it's a good thing you're wrong. As with the previous decision, both choices are viable in this version. I realized that regardless of what it was referring to, to an outside observer it looks exactly like a spoiler, or at least a winking reference. I think if I were reading this new, that sort of thing would annoy me, and I'll refrain from hinting at things before we get to them. (I'll still vote, because my choices are all over the place with respect to foreknowledge.) Ignore the szalls, heal the wounded guy.

"You see some szalls. Your advanced training lets you know that they are from a race known as szalls." FWIW, I think Legends of Lone Wolf (the straight-up fictional series of Lone Wolf's adventures that got weird) gives a little bit more info on them (wiki contains spoilers), they're basically wimpy Giaks that defected from the Darklands. Unfortunately it didn't do much for their social standing with either forces of good or evil, so the few times they show up they're just kinda window dressing and looked down upon by everyone. Chase these scrubs away.

How did the fiction series get weird? I recall Lone Wolf hanging out with the adventurer chick from the coach ride, and going a bit wild like a wolf, but that was about it. Check his pack.

Just now learning Dever is dead.  However, encouraging to hear the news that his son has stated plans to complete the last few planned books. Let's just hope this is more of a Jordan->Sanderson situation than a Herbert->Herbert fiasco.

I was thrilled to see there's an actuall lone wolf game up on steam - unfortunately it's... not good. Ruined by quicktime events and crapy combat.

Fire on the Water posted:You search in his pack and are horrified to find that it contains a scroll of human skin upon which a message has been written in a strange runic script. The only word that you can make out is ‘Kai’. You also find an evil-looking dagger with a black blade, and a block of cold obsidian. I'm curious about that "strange runic script". How can Lone Wolf read the word "Kai" if he doesn't recognise the language, and what language is it? That illustration is actually not this message, BTW. It's from a bit we missed in book one, I just remembered it and thought it would be appropriate to this section. And once again we've encountered a weapon that we're not able to take, so we're still unarmed and suffering that Combat Skill penalty.

I assumed it was a case of "kids won't play a game you just read, we have to have action in it". It being a mobile port would make sence though. Check out watchtower.

If you want the computer Lone Wolf experience, there's Seventh Sense for PC and Lone Wolf Saga for Android (iOS? too?) that use the Project Aon books. Seventh Sense also has optional houserules that can make the game a little smoother/harder/more interesting - stuff like point buy for your stats instead of rolling, limiting yourself to only your starting disciplines no matter how many books you go through, or giving all unusual or special weapons unique properties. It's pretty fun! also: let's check out the tower Leraika fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Sep 13, 2017 |

I know there was a mobile game made, and that's probably the same thing, though I haven't played either of them. Haven't heard much good about it. I don't know if there is any 'darklord script', but that image is in ORGADAK SHADA TAAG OKAK- ORGADAK OK- NARA EK ASH JEK EG HELGEDAD Near as I can tell from the Giak word list it's something like 'kill the human soldiers, capture the officers, and take them to Helgedad'. e: The language is Giak, but I don't know what the script is actually called. The same alphabet symbols are seen on some human things, so it's presumably a common one. I imagine it's like the Latin script, with the letters having potentially different sounds in different languages. As for this section, let's see where that detour goes.

Take the detour, the watchtower is probably infested with mega ghouls or something.

This course of actions spared Lone Wolf from a combat with the Helghast, but the young Kai also lost a precious item, almost indispensable in a near future.

Fire on the Water posted:You push on through the dense forest for nearly three hours before you discover a track heading north, running parallel to the Rymerift, whose rushing waters are over one mile deep. In the distance, you spot a bridge that spans the dark water at a narrow point. A small hut with a flat roof has been erected in the centre, on top of which stand two soldiers. A sign points across the bridge.

Those soldiers are probably going to demand a bridge toll and we've already spent enough mandatory money this adventure. Keep walking!

Leraika posted:Keep walkin' Fire on the Water posted:You have walked less than a hundred yards when the track disappears over the edge of a precipice towards the deep waters of the Rymerift below. It is impossible to go on any further in this direction. You will have to return along the path and cross the river at the bridge.
