User guide

City of Thieves is a fantasy scenario in which the hero is retained by the village of Silverton to save them from Zanbar Bone, lord of the undead; to do this, yiu must first travel to Port Blacksand to enlist the aid of the magician Nicodemus.

You take the role of an adventurer on a quest to find and stop the powerful Night Prince Zanbar Bone, a being whose minions are terrorizing a local town. Hired by a desperate mayor, you must as the adventurer journey to the dangerous city-state of Port Blacksand (the titular City of Thieves), and find the wizard Nicodemus, who apparently knows of Bone's one weakness. What follows is a series of challenges as you must locate certain key items, escape Port Blacksand and eventually confront Bone.
