About the Story

As you were exiting the Main Hall, you bumped into none other than the Baron of Lucidia, Sir Luketzar. He said that he has heard a lot about you, and was coming over to see you about doing him a small favor: "Last evening, during one of my best parties, a small band of thieves managed to break into the castle storages, and steal some of my family treasures. The palace guards captured and killed all but one of the culprits. Only their leader, Karal, managed to escape. You must slay Karal and bring back all the treasures!"

This adventure is part of the Eamon universe. Like all Eamon adventures, it is an RPG-style game, mostly using a two-word parser. Because Eamon is a modular system, you may bring a character and equipment from other adventures into this one.

Eamon#65 comes with a general thumbs up from the EAG, but I found it kind of tiresome. It's a bunch of straightforward combats set in a contemporary school, written from the point of view of a ye olde warrior (you) who has travelled through time to reach it.

The descriptions are arguably clever and consistent, but somehow I just found the overall effect monotonous. The school's boring, the combat verges on being sparse, and continuing to map the school required an effort of will on my part.

EamonAG

It is mainly a Hack 'n Slash joke-fest, with almost no puzzle solving. I don't really mind this, but fans of puzzle-rich Eamons will be disappointed.
