Garth was promised immortal fame by the Forgotten King - a decrepit ancient dressed in yellow rags, who huddled over a tavern table in the decaying outpost of Skelleth. But there was a price. Garth must first bring back the creature he would find in the ancient crypts beneath the ensorcelled city of Mormoreth. To an overman, such as Garth, it seemed a simple task - until he found that the way was beset by invisible bandits. That Mormoreth was ruled by the dreaded enchanter Shang. And that the dweller in the crypts was a basilisk, whose breath was poison, whose touch was deadly and whose gaze turned any living creature to stone! How could Garth entrap a basilisk? How could he handle it on the long road back to Skelleth? And as the path grew ever more perilous, he began to wonder what sinister use the Forgotten King had planned for his burden of evil:- (original cost £2.50). Seller Inventory # 12.011.00540
