Page 281: The hillside is steep and the earth is loose and slippery. You chance a swift glance over your shoulder and see the two Giaks emerge from the woods. They start to climb after you. About halfway from the peak of the hill, you spot a cave to your right, almost totally hidden by a landslide.
If you have the Kai Discipline of Camouflage, turn to 324.
If you wish to hide in the cave, turn to 279.
If you wish to avoid the cave and continue your climb to the peak, turn to 47.
Vonotar! That's a name I haven't seen in ages. And now I remember why the name Voldemort always struck me as vaguely familiar. What 5 skills do we have again? I can't find it in the OP.
so when it goes "if you have the kai discipline of..." is that, like, an instruction? We have to take that path or what?
either way tbh, voting camouflage.
I don't think it's compulsory for you to take that path (sometimes different skills can lead to different sections even), but if there's only one skill indicated it's usually the best path. Although
Sometimes having an item/skill leads you to trouble (a certain cauldron comes to mind) and I'll pretend I don't have it.

I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure it's optional since you get given choices sometimes where you can choose from multiple disciplines.
There's a list of disciplines everyone chose in the second post Chrono for reference.
Going with Camouflage.
Page 324: You pull up your hood and drop down behind the rocks that litter the mouth of the cave. Holding your breath, you curl up into a tight ball, and completely cover yourself with your green cloak. Only a few minutes later the Giaks clamber over the rocky ledge outside, their evil yellow eyes furtively searching every crevice of the hillside.
Then cursing in their strange tongue, they leave the ledge and start to climb towards the peak. You silently thank your old Masters for teaching you the Kai Discipline of Camouflage--it has probably saved your life on this occasion.
If you wish to explore the cave, turn to 33.
If you wish to leave and descend the hill in case the Giaks return, turn to 248.
I loved the sense of being this really awesome yet really vulnerable guy the books gave you. And 'levelling up' after completing a book. It wouldn't be far-fetched to call it my first RPG.
Page 33: The floor of the cave is quite dry and dusty. As you explore deeper in the half-light, you detect the stale odour of rotting flesh. Littering a crevice are the bones, fur and teeth of several small animals. You notice a small cloth bag among these remains which you open to discover 3 Gold Crowns. Pocketing these coins, you leave what appears to be the lair of a mountain cat and carefully descend the hill.

I agree, we should head East. It seems the fastest path.

Its kinda funny that those monster dudes attacking the wizard were scared off by some guy throwing rocks at them, but didn't retreat from lightning bolts.

Well being killed by a lightning bolt is an occupational hazard for minions of evil wizard lords, but being killed by some crazy dude who throws rocks they dont get paid for crap like that.
I remember these books from when I was a kid they were awesome and were probably the source of my first infection with the RPG bug. Just a heads up though I am pretty sure the original author/publisher has put the books up online for free somewhere. anyway now on to more important matters
In case anyone didn't know, the author of the Lone Wolf books has put the series into public domain. There are free, handy html versions for your clicking pleasure, and even a few for DS homebrew. I can't recall the link for those digital copies, but they're out there...

Yup, that is what I've been copy pasting from. www.projectaon.org for those interested. No cheating though!
Going East.
Page 300: You walk for over an hour, during which time you keep a constant vigil for any sign of Kraan in the sky above. You have twice spotted their tell-tale shadows in the sky and on both occasions your quick wits have saved you from capture. You are now very hungry and must eat a Meal.
You may now continue on your journey by turning to 13.
We know hunting and are not required to eat a meal.
Page 13: The path soon ends at a large clearing. In the centre of the clearing is a tree much taller and wider than any others you have seen in the forest.
Looking up through the massive branches you can see a large treehouse some twenty-five to thirty feet above the ground. There is no ladder, but the gnarled bark of the tree offers many footholds.
If you wish to climb the tree and search the treehouse, turn to 307.
How could you not be curious? If it were dangerous, our sixth sense would warn us, right? RIGHT??

You'd think so, but there are times when the game forces you to make stupid decisions that you should be able to avoid with your sixth sense.
Like in Book 2 (I'm playing the DS version)
You can't stab the first guy who grabs you, even if you know he's a traitor. You can't avoid getting robbed by the fishermen after you fall into the see. You can't avoid the Helghast on the altar or in the carriage after you see the rat thing. That's when you needed Animal Kinship or a magic spear that seems nigh impossible to get.
Page 307: Your climb is swift and easy. It reminds you of the many trees that you climbed and explored near Toran as a child, when you wanted to pick fruit or to look out over the beautiful countryside of Sommerlund.
Pushing open the treehouse door, you see an old hermit huddled in the corner of the small cabin. A look of great relief spreads across his face as he recognizes your green Kai cloak. He tells you that this area is full of Giaks, and that he has counted over forty Kraan flying over his home in the last three hours. They were heading east.
He scurries over to a cupboard and returns with a plate of fresh fruit. You thank him and place the fruit in your Backpack. There is enough for one Meal. The hermit also produces a fine Warhammer and lays it upon a table by the door. 'Your need is greater than mine, Kai Lord,' he says. 'Please take this trusty Warhammer if you so wish.'
You may take this Weapon only if you exchange it for another Weapon already in your possession, for it is the only defence that the hermit has against the enemy.
Thanking the old man, you carefully descend the tree and continue on your mission.
Turn to 213.
I'll swap to the Warmace from our regular one because they are more awesome.
Page 213: You have been trudging through the forest for nearly two hours. The nagging fear that you are lost begins to seem a reality. Apart from the occasional cry of a Kraan in the far distance, you have seen or heard no evidence that the enemy is in this part of the forest. As you descend a rocky hillock, you see something unusual in the tangled woods ahead.
Page 331: Surrounded by thorny briars and closely packed roots, you see the entrance of a tunnel disappearing into the hillside beyond. It is approximately seven feet in height and just over ten feet wide. As you get closer, you can feel a slight breeze coming from the inky blackness. If the other end of this tunnel emerges on the far side of the hill, it could save you many hours of difficult climbing. But it could also harbour unknown danger.
If you wish to enter the tunnel, turn to 170.
If you would prefer to climb the hillside, turn to 280.

Enter the tunnel.
What's the worst thing that could happen?
Lord_Asmodeus on

Against my better judgement, I say we take a chance and enter the tunnel.
A kai lord should be able to handle himself in all situations... besides, we just picked a shiny new warmace. If anything comes near us, its getting whapped on the head.
Yeah I dunno the Kai Lords are sounding more and more like a bunch of pussies.
The whole order gets wiped out in like five minutes, and then right after that a wizard apprentice killed like 15 idiots with lightning and we had to hide like a bitch with our cape from two that were chasing us.

They were all hammered because they were having a ceremonial kegger or something, thats why they let their guard down.
As for Lone Wolf, he seems to be pretty inexperienced. I'm guessing he turns into an uber badass in the later books though.
Page 170: The tunnel is dark and the air is much cooler than outside. You carefully advance with one hand on the tunnel wall to aid your sense of direction. You have been in total darkness for three minutes when you detect the foul smell of decay ahead, similar to rotting meat. If you have a Torch and Tinderbox in your Pack, you may light the Torch to see your way ahead.
Suddenly, something heavy drops from the tunnel ceiling onto your back and you fall to your knees. It is a Burrowcrawler and you must fight it, for it is trying to strangle you with its long slimy tentacles.
Burrowcrawler: COMBAT SKILL 17 ENDURANCE 7
If you do not have a torch, deduct 3 points from your COMBAT SKILL during this fight. The Burrowcrawler is immune to Mindblast and Animal Kinship.
If you win, turn to 319.
19 Combat Skill -3 (Darkness) -17 (Burrowcrawler's CS) = -1 for the encounter.
