Synopsis

Plot

The adventure is set in a make-believe world, where the players are set the challenge of trying to get rid of the dragon. This can be done in either of two ways: by killing it with the enchanted sword, or by releasing the dragon from the bewitchment that has been put on it (by playing the magic pipe). The players must then discover the dragon's hidden treasure hoard to complete the game.

Players must find either the sword or the flute, and discover the way to safely enter the dragon's tunnels and neutralise the dragon. To do this they must solve a series of simple problems involving gathering and using the objects that can be found in the various game locations. There are clues to this scattered throughout the game.

Notes
