Creation[]
Background[]
“ [It is] the morning after the successful completion of the Trial of Champions, Baron Sukumvit’s fiendish Adventurers’ Challenge set in a monster-infested dungeon. The Labyrinth of Fang is being hastily dismantled by the disgruntled Baron, and there is great rejoicing in the town.[1] ”
Rules[]
The book in general follows the original rules set down in Fighting Fantasy - The Introductory Role-Playing Game.
Equipment List[]
No requirements are set out here.
Illustrations[]
The illustration was by Simon Ecob. There was 1 full page (or equivalent) illustration.
The black and white map was by David Andrews and was taken from a larger map of Allansia in Out of the Pit (and slightly modified).
Intertextual References[]
- The story is a follow on from Deathtrap Dungeon.
- Some have suggested that the Hero of Deathtrap Dungeon is the same individual as that of the previous gamebook in the original series, City of Thieves, since he journeys from Port Blacksand to Fang, and also that of the next gamebook, Island of the Lizard King, since he journeys from Fang to Oyster Bay, though nowhere is this stated explicitly.
