The Way Home by Kenneth Pedersen profile Episode 2 of The Bash Saga Fantasy 2016 Web Site

About the Story

Sequel to The Dragon diamond and prequel to Stone of Wisdom. Unlike the third episode Stone of Wisdom, the first two episodes have a weaker parser as they were written in 2016, the year where Kenneth Pedersen discovered Adrift. However, they are both beta tested and playable.

PLOT
Your name is Bash, a famous warrior, who has just obtained the fabled Dragon Diamond from the Forest of Fear. You are now on your way to deliver the diamond to queen Drana, who ordered you to find the diamond in the first place.

You are driving in a carriage. You know you have to go through the desert to get back but first you need to drive to the ice valley in order to have enough water for the return trip.

You roll in on the road to the ice valley. Suddenly something hard hits your head and everything becomes black..

You slowly wake up and look around. You find yourself tied to a tree. Your adventure begins here.

NOTES
This game was originally a part of the Commodore 64 version of The Dragon Diamond (link to C64 version further down). When the game was converted to modern IF systems and improved upon in 2016, the game was split into "The Dragon Diamond" and "The Way Home", one game for each part of the original C64 game. Especially part I was significantly changed to fit modern player's expectations.
