Fortress Throngard is a single-player role-playing mini adventure written by Tom Williams, and illustrated by Leo Hartas. It was published in 1986 in issue 9 of Warlock by Games Workshop. It has not been reprinted since.
Creation[]
Background[]
“ You must prove your worthiness to become a knight by rescuing your liege, Sir Falfax, from his incarceration in the Fortress’s depths.[1] ”
How to Fight Creatures in the Adventure[]
The mini adventure in general follows the original rules set down in The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (see Game System).
Unique Rules[]
Players can only eat Provisions when allowed by the instructions in a particular paragraph. Also, while a player has only one Potion, it contains two doses.
Equipment List[]
- Sword
- Leather Armour
- Shield
- Backpack
- 5 Provisions
- Choice of one of three Potions (see Game System for generic fantasy setting choices)
The "Background" indicates the player also has a small Knife and a picklock.
Illustrations[]
The illustrations were by Leo Hartas. There were 7 full page (or equivalent) illustrations and 6 minor repeated illustrations scattered throughout the text. The paragraphs with a full page illustration were: 6, 32,1 50,2 68,1 120, 126 and 139.
- The illustration in this instance is placed some "distance" from the paragraph in question probably due to reasons of layout.
- This illustration in particular is very "removed" from the paragraph it illustrates!
