Overview
THE STORY
The year is 1 753. Two miles off the
North Cornish coast, huge waves pound
the latest victim of the notorious
Doombar. the Cutter captained by the
ruthless pirate Black Beard. For many
years he had terrorised and plundered
the commercial shipping operating out
of Bristol, but at last the sea itself had
dealt out a just retribution.
As top agent for the Royal Duchy, you
are of course well aware of the rumours
of a hidden hoard of Black Beards
treasure and the terrible tales of those
who have tried to find it. It is said that
most are never heard of again, and that
those that do return, do so dreadfully
deteriorated in both mind and body. Until
now you have discounted such rumours
as nonsense, but the morning after the
wreck you find the cutter's log washed
up at Daymer Cove. It indicates clearly
that the entrance to the cave system
was used extensively by smugglers some
years ago. Thinking that this might be
the location of the fables treasure, you
climb through the hole high in the cliffs
which is the only known entrance. As you
enter, you slip and fall twenty feet to the
cave floor There is now no way you can
get back to the entrance, so you decide
to search for the treasure and another
way out
The Ship's log also contains some
words in it, which may be of use on your
journey. These are: 'LOOK', 'INV', 'N', 'E',
'S', 'W, 'U', 'D', 'TAKE', THROW, 'HIT'.
'SCORE'. 'SAVE'. 'LOAD'. The main object
of the adventure is of course, to escape
back to the surface with the treasure.

using the best route
