The Defenders of Dusk: An Interactive Adventure by Dane Barrett
The border city of Dusk stands as a great sentinel, watching over the boundary river separating the Western Realms from the tyrannical city-states of the east. Indeed, many a conflict has happened here over the past hundred years as the city-state of Dactyl, which serves as a staging point for invasions to the west, continually strives to find new ways to assault the border bridge crossing the great river. In all this time, Dusk, under the protection of a highly-trained Town Guard, has never fallen to a foreign power, always repelling even the most determined of attacks.
There is a foul scent upon the wind, however; a shadow looms from the east, and this time it brings the ominous signs of dark magic and evil creatures. Rumours abound from travellers and merchants that a new threat amasses across the river, though details as yet have remained sketchy. There is the talk of a vast army of men, orcs and lizard people, led by a dark mage and accompanied by a powerful beast of war. Such potential threats have led to Dusk's Mayor cutting deals with several dubious organisations to help protect the welfare and wellbeing of the border.
Tonight, you, as a member of the Thieve's Guild of Dusk, will partake in a night patrol you will never forget. For tonight could spell the end of the stubbornly determined border city, or it may just be the beginning of something extraordinary... YOU decide
Two dice, a pencil and an eraser, and perhaps a little stealth and cleverness, are all you need to defend the city. YOU decide which route to follow and what tactics to use in this fantasy adventure gamebook
