The Search for The Smiler (Adventures in Alanor)

By Graham Stevenson

THE SPIRAL TURNS! In the bustling town of Lunkpuff, where fireworks light up the skies and nightly festivities pulse with laughter and cheer, a sinister darkness festers. Beneath the revelry hides a terrifying presence--the Smiler, a masked serial killer who has turned the chaos of celebration into the perfect cover for murder. For years, their grisly crimes have haunted the town, each scene staged with macabre theatrics. The elders are powerless to stop the terror and fear begins to overshadow Lunkpuff's joy. You are Klynt Darrow, a sharp-witted bounty hunter from Herovia with a reputation for tracking the untraceable. Armed with your sword, your training from the School of Adventurers and an uncanny ability to read the minds of killers, you are Lunkpuff's last hope. But the hunt is fraught with danger. The town's twisting alleyways and suspicious residents conceal more than just the Smiler's trail--they hide a darker truth. As you delve deeper into the mystery, you uncover secret hideouts, dangerous chaos worshippers in the surrounding mountains and devotees of the Smiler that use twisted alchemy to enable his horrific masterplan. Each clue pulls you further into a web of secrets, conspiracies and danger, where every ally could be a traitor and every shadow hides a potential killer. The final confrontation will come during Lunkpuff's grandest festival, a night when the town will be awash with lights, music--and blood. Will you unmask the Smiler, or will you become the next victim in their deadly game? THIS IS YOUR STORY, but survival is far from guaranteed! 'The Search for The Smiler' is an Adventure Gamebook set in the world of Alanor. Readers of Fighting Fantasy style adventures should be familiar with the combat mechanics and non-linear storytelling.
