Written by E. L. (Ev) Cheney (1990)
Review by Dorothy Millard (PC AGT Version)
Scenario
You play the part of a woman warrior who was captured during a furious battle against evil invaders,
the Gendi. You have been imprisoned in a cell below a castle which once belonged to a handsome
prince, but is now in the hands of the Gendi. Having stolen an implement from a serving tray,
you've been steadily digging a hole into the next cell and hope that, somehow, you will be able
to escape.
