The Caverns of Kalte (2 page)

Equipment

Before leaving the northern port of Anskaven, you are escorted to the City Hall and equipped with special winter boots, a tunic, a fur-lined cloak, and mittens. You are given a
Map of Kalte
and a pouch of gold. To find out how much gold is in the pouch, pick a number from the
Random Number Table
. Now add 10 to the number you have picked. The total equals the number of Gold Crowns inside the pouch, and you may now enter this number in the ‘Gold Crowns’ section of your
Action Chart
. (If you have successfully completed previous
Lone Wolf
adventures, you may add this sum to the total of any Crowns you may already possess. Remember you can only carry fifty Crowns.)

Before you set sail, you are given the choice of the following items (in addition to those you already possess, but remember you may only carry two weapons). You may take any two of the following:

  • Sword (Weapons)
  • Short Sword (Weapons)
  • Padded Leather Waistcoat (Special Items). This adds 2
    ENDURANCE
    points to your total.
  • Spear (Weapons)
  • Mace (Weapons)
  • Warhammer (Weapons)
  • Axe (Weapons)
  • Potion of Laumspur (Backpack Items). This restores 4
    ENDURANCE
    points to your total when swallowed after combat. There is only enough for one dose.
  • Quarterstaff (Weapons)
  • Special Rations (Meals). This counts as one meal. (See ‘How to Use Your Equipment’ before deciding.)
  • Broadsword (Weapons)

List the two items you choose on your
Action Chart
, under the heading given in brackets, and make a note of any effect it may have on your
ENDURANCE
points or
COMBAT SKILL
.

How Much Can You Carry?

two
.
Backpack Items
These must be stored in your Backpack. Because space is limited, you may only keep a maximum of eight articles, including Meals, in your Backpack at any one time.
Special Items
Special Items are not carried in the Backpack. When you discover a Special Item, you will be told how to carry it.
Gold Crowns
These are always carried in the Belt Pouch. It will hold a maximum of fifty crowns.
