RING OF THIEVES
A Solitaire Adventure for Risus, by S. John Ross
A Lucas Marks Adventure

On a frosty night in the city of Hultog, a ring was stolen.
Now it's yours, but your partner has been taken in exchange.
Can you save her? Can you handle the power of the Ring of Thieves?

This is a solitaire adventure - a close cousin to the Choose Your
Own Adventure "pick-a-path" stories you may have read years ago,
or gamebooks where the the decision-making of pick-a-path is
augmented with dice and a game system. The upshot is: it's both a
fantasy short story, and a game.

WHAT YOU NEED TO PLAY

Apart from the contents of this ZIP archive, you'll need pencil,
paper, four ordinary six-sided dice, and a copy of the freeware
Adobe Acrobat Reader (available at www.adobe.com), since the 
adventure itself is in Acrobat format. You'll need Version 4.0 or
higher.

Just print it all out, curl up in a comfy chair with a drink and
some snacks, and while away some time with it!
