About this game
Create characters with fighter or wizard roles, form a party and prepare in town. Talk to residents to find jobs and investigations, then choose which requests to accept. Searching places and following conversations are part of resolving the task. An encounter opens combat with movement, equipped-weapon attacks and options for defense, items and magic. Completing a job earns experience and gold before the next assignment. Preparation therefore includes both choosing party capabilities and deciding which problem to tackle.
