Footnotes

[
1
] (
The Game Rules
) The Discipline bonuses mentioned do not affect your permanent scores. If you have completed previous adventures, the Disciplines that you have mastered may still be beneficial. See the Grand Master Rules section of the
Readers' Handbook
for details.

[
2
] (
The Game Rules
) If you have completed any previous
Lone Wolf Grand Master
adventures, remember to choose an additional Grand Master Discipline and add +1 to your basic
COMBAT SKILL
and +2 to your basic
ENDURANCE
for each adventure you successfully completed (cf.
Grand Master Disciplines
).

[
3
] (
The Game Rules
) If you possess the Sommerswerd, Section 98 of
Dawn of the Dragons
suggests that you may be able to add 4 to your
COMBAT SKILL
when using it in the Plane of Darkness (in addition to all other combat bonuses for this Special Item).

[
4
] (
Grand Master Disciplines
) Weaponmastery bonuses are replaced by Grand Weaponmastery bonuses, not added cumulatively (cf.
Lone Wolf Club Newsletter 28
).

If you have completed previous adventures, already possess the Magnakai Discipline of Weaponmastery with Bow, and have reached the rank of Mentora, it seems that you should already be able to add 5 to numbers picked from the
Random Number Table
(i.e. the basic Weaponmastery with Bow bonus of 3 added to the Mentora bonus of 2 for all missile weapons). Likely, the author intended the Weaponmastery bonus at the Mentora rank to be a ‘hidden loyalty bonus’ (cf.
Lone Wolf Club Newsletter 28
). In view of this, the +2 Mentora bonus is therefore
not
cumulative with Grand Weaponmastery with Bow.

Certain sections direct the reader to use different bonuses when using a Bow, ranging from 3 to 5, if you have Grand Weaponmastery with Bow. This may be the author adjusting the Grand Weaponmastery bonus on a case-by-case basis (and therefore this bonus should be used instead of the standard bonus) or an error (and therefore all of these bonuses should be 5). It is up to you to decide, but it seems most reasonable to follow the first alternative, to replace the Grand Weaponmastery bonus with whatever bonus is mentioned in that section.

[
5
] (
Section 10
) This is the correct answer to the combination lock in
Section 239
.

[
6
] (
Section 48
) It may not be appropriate to use Deliverance here if you have already in this adventure used its power to restore 20
ENDURANCE
points.

[
7
] (
Section 57
) This is the correct answer to the total of the numbers on the three Special Items required to enter Dazganon (cf. Sections
297
and
338
).

[
8
] (
Section 90
) If you possess the Sommerswerd, Section 98 of
Dawn of the Dragons
suggests that you may be able to add 4 to your
COMBAT SKILL
when using it in the Plane of Darkness (in addition to all other combat bonuses for this Special Item).

[
9
] (
Section 107
) It is possible to have visited the Temple of Maaken without encountering a Daemonak.

[
10
] (
Section 127
) It is possible for Lone Wolf to have visited Torgar without having met Sebb Jarel or accompanied Paido in the Danarg.

[
11
] (
Section 239
) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.

[
12
] (
Section 260
) It is possible that you may be carrying more than one Quiver (cf. Section 168 of
The Jungle of Horrors
). Remember that
each
Quiver can hold a maximum of six Arrows.

[
13
] (
Section 297
) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.

[
14
] (
Section 330
) It is unclear what to do in this situation if some or all of the last three spaces of your Backpack are empty. One possibility is to interpret this instruction as indicating that the last three items on your list must be erased. Another interpretation is that if some of the last three spaces are empty you are lucky and lose fewer than three items.

[
15
] (
Section 338
) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct.
