The Evil Crypt

You are Willie the Wizard, dashing, recklessly brave and deeply committed to the welfare of the people of Seleria, a happy. kingdom untouched by evil. In Seleria, everyone lives in harmony and no one is poor. However, high atop the mountain, living directly above the happy kingdom, lives the evil lord, a patient, but persistent force anxiously awaiting the opportunity to rule the valley.

Nevertheless, Selerians always felt most assured that their serene way of life would remain unchanged, thanks to you. Since you possess not only a variety of magic potions and charms, but a sword and spellbook capable of destroying all evil, the people had no fear of the evil lord. They knew he could do them no harm with the power of your book and sword behind them.

However, one day the evil lord somehow discovered a magical spell that allowed him to obtain your most powerful securities. Unfortunately, the sword and spellbook are now in his custody and he has hidden them throughout his evil crypt. The crypt's tortuous maze tunnels below the evil lord's tower, piercing the heart of the mountain.

Confident of his eternal power since becoming the owner of your defenses, the evil lord has granted you one unlikely opportunity for revenge. You will be permitted to explore the three levels of his evil crypt. Scattered deep within the doldrums, catacombs and dungeons are the powers you once possessed. Of course, defenseless, it will be all but impossible to survive. You will encounter large bugs that can bite through steel and snakes with poison deadly enough to kill a herd of elephants. There will be intergalactic creatures who will attack you with their advanced technology and spirits from other dimensions to steal from your life force.

To further hinder your escape, many deadly traps are placed throughout his cryptic maze. Fires that will fry the flesh off your bones, graves that kill on contact and bottomless pits will make some areas virtually impassible. You'll find fences that will keep you out or something else in. Even the rocks and trees are laced with hidden dangers. Nevertheless, you must remain positive and concentrate on locating your powers. Remember, each finding will increase your odds of survival. The magic potion will allow you to float over bottomless pits. The enchanted arrow can be used to destroy any nonhuman threat; however, the bow must also be found to shoot the arrow. The chest contains the mystical spellbook which is needed to escape, along with the hidden key that unlocks the main door.

Needless to say, if you make it that far, you'll want to make sure you've found the sword. Its possession will secure a victory over the evil lord. Admittedly, your odds of survival don't look very good, but don't despair. Have confidence and your power should once again prevail.
