Spoiler Warning!!!: Plot and/or ending details of a Fighting Fantasy publication follow. Please DO NOT read this article if you do not want foreknowledge of this publication. Although the article below is based on canon, some of its content is considered extrapolation because it assumes a certain course of events through an adventure that has many possible routes. Finally, the use of "Hero" and other male- gender expressions pertaining to the subject in the article and/or title of the article is not intended to exclude the possibility that the hero was female.

"Spoiler!" Beware!

The Hero of Island of the Undead was a fisherman from a small town on the coast of the Strait of Knives. Although he longed for a life of adventure, he supported his family by fishing with his father and brothers until a series of freak storms led to a number of deaths. The hero joined an expedition to Solani Island, where elemental wizards lived, but another storm left him as the only survivor.[1]

There, he discovered that most of the wizards were dead and a Dire Spectre had possessed the Master of Fire.[2] Eventually, he defeated the Dire Spectre in a dungeon deep beneath the wizards' tower and was confident of his ability to escape and return home. He found a treasure chest which may have contained gold, magical artefacts or something else entirely.[3]

Although everyone who set out for Solani "took a weapon and strapped on leather armour"[4] the hero began the adventure armed only with a knife, leather jerkin and fisherman's clothes which were "as good as leather armour" and suffered a penalty in combat until he found a shield.[5]

This is clearly the first adventure the hero had. It is possible that he took part in other books after this one.
