Straightforward monster hunt, stylishly written. Good foreshadowing of the ultimate foe, building anticipation. Variations in play are possible; if you
collect a couple of vital items, it is easier to succeed. Exploration is generally rewarded; foolish and craven actions are penalised. A number of memorable
combats, with a particularly satisfying final encounter. There are occasional physical obstacles, or foes you can bargain with/fast talk.
In play, some lucky rolls at the right time enabled three of the four (varied) characters to succeed, the fourth narrowly losing the climactic battle.
Links seem accurate.
Highly recommended.
