You're about to set sail on an exciting solo adven: ture. As Lathan, you wil be leading a party fof bold adventurers on a quest for a store of ‘unrefined gold, and time is your greatest ‘Six diferent quests and prevolled charac ters are included in the adventure, You should play the part of Lathan and go on his ‘ues first inorder to learn the system, Before you begin play, read the text inthis section. You do not have to read the interac- tion sequence right away, but make sure you read the res on how to use it ‘The prevoled characters and their quests are given in the Prerolled characters section (Once you have familiarized yourself with the rules, read Lathan’s quest. This tex wil start you on your journey. Be sure to read the spe: ial procedures given atthe beginning of the land and sea encounter sections before you begin reading entries. “To play this solo adventure, you will need the D&D® Basic and Expert rules, a set of. Polyhedral dice, paper, a pencil, and an Reading the actions and entries Every time you are involved in an event o face a decision in your adventure, the text will ask you to go to an entry or an action. Entries are ntumbered and lettered pars graphs that describe the physical areas of your adventure. They also describe events that occur in these areas. There are two main categories ofentries: land encounters and sea ‘encounters. The three types of land encoun- ters are: Specularum (S) entries, urban (U) ‘entries, and island exploration (E) entries ‘The three types of sea entries are: coastal (C) ‘entries, trade route (T) entries, and voyage (V) entries. ‘Actions are numbered paragraphs that appear only in the interaction sequence. ‘Actions describe the sequence of events you follow when you encounter wandering mon- sters. Be sure you don’t confuse entries and actions. The text always tells you which ofthe ‘two types you should be reading Each entry or action lst series of options from which you may choose, When you come ‘oan option that applies to your situation in the adventure, go 10 the indicated entry or action. For example, if you read entry G11 and decide 0 dock’ at the city of Thyatis (entry UA), you would turn 0 and read the paragraph numbered Us Keeping records ‘An Expedition Record Sheet and an NPC Party Chart appear on the inside booklet cover. You will be using these sheets during. your adventure to keep track of how much money and food you have, how many NPCs ‘you have with you, how much time you have {to complete your ques, and how much dam: ‘age you take in combat, Be sure to use pened ‘when you fill out these sheets, as the numbers will change several times during play. ‘Use the NPC Party Chart to keep track of the number and type of party members accompanying you on your quest. The Spe- calarum entries direct you to make additions to this char. ‘Use the Expedition Record Sheet to keep track of your character's time limit, food rations, and ht points. The prerolledcharac- ter descriptions provide you with some of this information. The Specularum (8) entries also direct you to make additions to this sheet. Following are explanations of some of this sheets columns: Days Remaining. Use this column to keep track of the number of days you have left to complete your quest. Subtract the approps ate number of days from thi column each time the text directs you todo so. ations. Use this column to keep a run- ning total ofthe number of food rations you have lft to feed to your crew-members while ‘on the adventure. Each of your erew-mem- bers eats 1 ration per day. The text will rll you when to make deductions from this column, Your Hit Poims, This value may change, depending on the outcome of any individual ‘combat in which you take part. Money & Treasure, All additions to this column are measured in gold pieces (gp. “Unrefined gold” refers to raw gold, while ‘gold pieces” refer to minted, refined coins. ‘Make sure you subtract the proper amount from the column each time you pay out or lose money or treasure. Hull Points. Record your ship's Hull point value in this space. Certain incidents ‘may reduce your ship's Hull point value. Be ‘sure to subtract the lost Hull points from this column Current Sea or Land Entry. Use these columns to record the sea or land entry you fare reading when you go to the interaction sequence, or when you go from a ea entry (C, Tor V entries) toaland entry (8, U, or F. entries). This recordkeeping process is a ‘guard against losing your place inthe adven ture. Example: You are reading entry V47. You decide toland on the island mentions the entry. You record V47" in the Current Sea Entry column and go to entry EA. After ve finished exploring the island, the ° text directs you back to your “current sea entry.” which you would have recorded as being entry V47. Using the ship’s log ‘The solo adventure sections in this booklet are bounded on each side by a space marked “Ship's log.” Reminders on recordkeeping and how to play certain entries are given here. You may also use the log to do arithmetic, and to make notes to yourself about a specific entry or direction. You may write anything you wish in the 'slog. Some examples are: “ Avoid E42.” ‘and Sal east away from V101." These notes ‘will come in especially handy when you decide to play the adventure again asa differ- cent player character. Encountering wandering monster Entry text occasionally indicates that you should roll for a wandering monster encoun- ter. Follow this sequence of events once you hhave determined that you encounter a wan- dering monster: 1, Roll 1d8 and add the modifier given in the tea or land entry. Ifyou are reading voyage (V) entries, add 9 t0 your die rll 2. Check Table 1 to determine which mon ster(s) you have encountered. Ifyou encour ter more than one monster, roll the appropriate dice to find out how many mon sers are in the group, Record this number in the ship's log space next to the sea or land entry where you encountered the monster. If {you encounter only 1 monster, record the monster leader's hit points in this space 3. Record your current sea or land entry on the Expedition Record Sheet 4. Govto the interaction sequence and read action 1. All wandering monster encounters fare covered inthis sequence 3.

Many choices are provided here. You may decide to try 10 talk to the ‘monsters rather than fight them. If you do fight monsters, you may either fight them alone, send out a fighting party, or lead a Fighting party of your own. Fighting parties can never be made up of more chan a number ‘equal your Charisma score. Parties may be made up of either erew-members or mari- ners, but never both together. Combat charts ‘Whenever the plarase, “consult the combat charts” appears in the interaction sequence, ‘refer tothe charts given onthe inside module cover. Follow this sequence when determin- ing the outcome of combat: 1, Ifa fighting party is attacking monsters, average the party members’ Hit Dice and ‘Armor Class values You may do the math in the space next tothe sea or land entry where you encountered the monsters. If you are fighting alone, use the Armor Class and Hit Dice values listed on your character sheet. 2, Go tothe Attacker Chart. Cross-reference ‘you or your party's Hit Dice with the number ofattackers(1-18, monsters may have groups as large as 150). The result will be a letter. 3. Goto the Defender Chart. Crose-reference the monsters’ Armor Clas (taken from Table 4) with the number of monsters facing the party. This result will bea number 4. Go to the Group Combat Chart ifa fight- ing party is involved, or the Single Combat Char i you are fighting lone: pry i 1g single monster, refer to the Single amore Cross-reference the results from the ‘Atvacker and Defender charts. On the Group Combat Chart, the result will be one of the following: A — all defenders defeated; N — 3 no defenders defeated; V4 Vay 4 — a frac- tion of defenders defeated. When you sub- tract a fraction of a monster's group members, round the number of monsters to ‘On the Single Combat Chart, the numbers given indicate the number of bi ‘defender loses in the attack. If“ result, the defender loses no hit points Optional: Ifyou are fighting one mons you may also include any extra hit poi damage you cause by using a weapon. Use the Variable Weapon Damage Table (Expert rule book, p.29) to see how much additional damage your weapon causes. ‘Subtract the number of monsters defeated, ‘or subtract the hit points lost, from the notes you made in the ship's log. If the monster leader's hit points reach 0, the monster is defeated. ‘5, When monsters attack you or your part repeat the process. Use the monsters’ Hit Dice and numberof attackers on the Atacker ‘Chart, and use your party's average Armor ‘Class and number of party members on the Defender Chart. If you're fighting alone and ‘a monster hits you, the monster's damage modifier (DM) may also be added to the ‘damage done to you ‘Combat example You are an elf, carrying a sword. You've determined that you are facing a group of 4 ‘giant draco lizards. You decide tolead a party ‘of 3 mariners in battle against the Hizards, ‘Your party consists of two fighters and a magic~user.

Cross-reference the "4-7" row on the Attacker Chart with the 4 t055” column, The result is "G.” Go to the Defender Chart and cross-refer- ence the lizard’s Armor Class (9) with the ‘number oflizards in the group (4). The result Goto the Group Combat Chart. Crossref rence the “G" with the “7” ‘The result is "Ye" Three of the four lizards have been defeated ‘The remaining Hizard mow atacks your party, Use the lizard leader's statistics (given ‘on Table 1) from now on. Go to the Attacker Chart, Cross-reference the lizard’s Hit Dice (4to 5) with the number of attackers (1). The result is “E.” On the Defender Chart, reference the party's Armor (Glas (5) with the number of defenders (7).Rules and Guidelines The result is “7! ‘On the Group Combat Chart, the result of crose-referencing G and 7 s/s" Two mem bers of your party have been defeated. After reading the next action, you discover that you survive the attack. However, you must ecide which two party members you must subiraet from your party. Ifyou subtract the magie-user and one of the fighters, your party’s new combat values are now AG 4, HD 5. You attack the lizard Your Atacker Chart result is “R" The liz ard’s Defender Chart result is “5.” Cross-ref ference these results on the Single Combat Chart, as there is only one defender.
