Castle Thuudo

Too much power in the wrong hands can be a terrible thing, causing unneccessary grief in the lives of many persons. When the power belongs to a god, the consequences can be catastrophic. That's what the citizens of Birnshire discovered many centuries ago when a revolution among the gods led to the overthrow of the good and kind Dynas by his scheming apprentice, Thuudo.

Thuudo immediately imposed martial law throughout the kingdom, declaring strict obedience to his every whim. He had a terrible temper, too - prone to emotional outbursts over the most trivial matters. Of all the gods that had ruled Birnshire, Thuudo was clearly the most unkempt, unmannerly and unbearable. But he was in power, so Thuudo saw nothing wrong with the way he demeaned the citizens. Most of them had invested their lives 1n Birnshire, so they were reluctant to attempt escape.

Dynas was too old to wage a prolonged battle against Thuudo, so he asked his friend Demos to take up the challenge. Demos, however, was not prepared for the unethical methods employed by Thuudo. They were both executed for their efforts. Now it's your turn, dear Adventurer. Yoll: will need to call on all your inner strength, be very observant, and you may even need help from the Grim Reaper if you are to improve your odds against Thuudo. Hope you've been vigilant with your fencing lessons, paying careful attention to the block and slash maneuvers.
