Note: "You lose either component of the Angelic Alliance" means that another hero, who carries the whole Angelic Alliance or at least one its part, whether it is Sandals of the Saint, Armor of Wonder or something else, defeated in a battle. If this occurs, the scenario is immediately lost, and the message "The hero, [Hero Name], has suffered defeat - your quest is over!" appears. Thus, Yog may give Angelic Alliance or its components to anyone else, and they both should be invincible. Also, any hero with Angelic Alliance or its component cannot be dismissed.

You left the meeting with Boragus in a very happy mood. Wanting to prove yourself, you hurry off to Tatalia to deliver the first two pieces of the Armor of the Angelic. At first you thought this would be an easy task: you would walk into town and give the first two pieces of the Angelic Alliance to Alendora. After a few days ride from the border, you discover that Tatalians aren't going to make it that easy for you. A Tough Start Shadow of Death

Prologue[edit]

Yog Yog: When I confronted Winston Boragus, he admitted to setting Krewlod's armies against me to test my worthiness to join them. At first I was angry at this deception until the Duke pointed out that it was I who wanted to be a fighter. The Barbarian within me saw his point. But Boragus has a test designed to see whether I am truly ready to part with the Wizards of Bracada. I must take the magical Angelic Alliance sword, break it apart and distribute the pieces throughout Tatalia, Erathia and Bracada.

Scenario[edit]

Timed events[edit]

Day Title Message
Day 1 Intro After a few days travel into Tatalia, you discovered the Tatalians really don't want you in their territory. Since it will probably take some time to find Alendora, you are fortifying your army inside a little valley before beginning the search.
Day 4 Journal Entry 12 Journal Entry 12: I sent my scouts out yesterday to search the countryside while I search the town, but we haven't found any sign of Alendora.
Day 11 Journal Entry 13 Journal Entry 13: All but one of my scouts have returned to report they have been unable to locate Alendora. Hopefully the last scout is delayed because he is having better luck.
Day 20 Journal Entry 14 Journal Entry 14: Just when I was beginning to fear that my last scout had been killed, he returned with the news that he found Alendora. Unfortunately, the man was so exhausted from his travels he managed only to blurt out something about a cave before collapsing. I ordered him to get some sleep and report to me first thing in the morning.
Day 21 Journal Entry 15 Journal Entry 15: I had the scout who located Alendora brought before me after he had a proper rest. His more detailed report gave the exact location of the cave, North off the main road.
