flinching.

to explore and to experiment. After all, you got nothing to

LIFE AND DEATH
The section that spells "HEALTH" on your status bar, indicates your
current strength. Every time you get hurt, you lose a bit of strength.
When your strength dips to 0, YOU DIE!
You start the game with 100 units of strength. (Later on, you may be
able to increase your strength beyond this limit.)
Things that cost you units of strength include an attack from a monster,
massive falls, bursts from explosions and walking in lava. Other, more
serious accidents can kill you outright.
The section that spells "ARMOR" indicates your armor. It may lessen
your damage.

Dagger: This is the weapon you used to stab the former scout boy when you

need it.
Ammo: None
Mini-Catapult: This is a relatively weak weapon but it is useful for taking
out weaker enemies.
Ammo: Stones
Doberwand: This is a good all-purpose weapon. Reloading is done by a pump
action, but it is a bit slow.
Ammo: Crystals
Rapid-Catapult: The favorite of the Clement's army. On the downside it
chews ammo alot quicker but it is useful for dispersing a crowd.

Now they are crooked and dangerous.
Former Scout Leader: A fat boy with a white t-shirt and shorts. These
