Bandor I is the first in a trilogy of role-playing adventure games revolving around the city of Bandor. Bandor is a small city situated within the land of Galia. To the south of the city lies the Forest of the Fountain of Life. To the East of the city lies the City Slums (also known as the Underworld). The City proper is very orderly. Squarely in the middle of the city lies the Twin Towers, wherein sits the Council of High Lords. An adventurer hungry for quests can proceed to the Council and meet with the Lord Regent. The Lord Regent can supply you with tasks that need to be accomplished. These tasks vary from hunting for items, to killing monsters that are plaguing the city. Upon completion of a task, the Lord Regent will reward you with experience points, gold, and items to further you on your ultimate quest. To the SouthWest lies the Guild Hall Within the confines of the Guild Hall lay skilled masters who can increase your skill in the art of combat. There is a fee of 100 gold pieces for training, so be sure not to come to the Hall empty-handed. East of the Council sits the Temple of P'Tah. Within the city of Bandor, there are two religions, those who follow P'Tah, and those who follow B'Nah. The followers of P'Tah are dedicated to the path of industriousness, and helping one's fellow man. B'Nah, on the other hand, preaches a hedonistic life-style. One of the reasons for the re-birth of the city is that the worship of B'Nah has been banished from the city proper. It is rumored that there is an altar to B'Nah located somewhere in the depths of the City Slums. The main offering of the Temple is that they can offer healing to those in need of succor. Be aware that the restorative powers of the temple priests do not come cheaply! To raise a member of your party from the dead can cost up to 1000 gold pieces. In general it will cost about 100 gold pieces per point of life that must be restored for a character. To the west of the Council lies the Keg & Ale tavern. The Keg & Ale offers several features. Weary questers can rest in peace there, and players may gamble, trying to enlarge their money-pouches. In an alley-way behind the Keg & Ale, and in an another alley-way to the northeast of the council lie the Armory shops. At the Armory shops, questers may buy and sell weapons. Once you select the purchase option, the Armorer will display for you the items that he has available. Directly south of the city lies the gateway into the Forest of the Fountain of Life. Squarely in the middle of the Forest sits the Fountain of Life itself. The aura provided by the Forest is one of the reasons that the town enjoys such a stable atmosphere. To cross over to the Fountain, you will have to find the River ford.One of the first quests that the Council will ask you to complete is to find the reason that the River Quoth, which feeds the Fountain of Life, has become fouled. To the northeast of the council, next to the Armory, sits the gateway to the Slums. The council has become concerned regarding reports of human sacrifices occuring within the slums. They will ask you to investigate. been wreckinDg the city proper. One of the concerns of the city fathers is that some creatures have been slipping through the gate and invading the city itself. One of your tasks will be to stop this incursion and to cleanse the Underworld so that the city may expand into it. It is also rumored that the Storm Giant King himself sits on his throne somewhere in the Slums, and is even now gathering his minions to overthrow the city. Many adventures and glory await you within the city. Good luck and honor to you on your road to becoming A HERO OF BANDOR! ---Installation--- The game is supplied on a single disk in a self-extracting EXE file. (The file uses the LHA compression scheme, developed and copyrighted by Yoshi). To extract, copy the file to a directory on the hard disk and run the file. Note that the program will create 4 sub-directories under the directory you create, labeled PCX, FMEM, MMEM, and VOC. If you receive the game off of a bulletin board, it is possible that the program will be broken up into smaller files. To ensure that the program works correctly, make sure of the following: All files with an extension of .DRV, .MUS, and .VOC must be placed into the VOC sub-directory. All files with the extension of .PCX must be placed into the PCX sub-directory. All files that meet the wildcard M*.MEM should be placed into the MMEM sub-directory. All files that meet the wildcard F*.MEM should be placed into the FMEM sub-directory. Once the program is extracted, change to the directory that you created and type the command CONFIG. The CONFIG program sets up a file called SETUP.DAT that will identify to the game what directory the auxiliary programs and graphics files are located in, and also your selection for sound. The CONFIG program will determine the present directory, and will ask you to confirm the directory in which the game is located. If the directory displayed is correct, simply hit the ENTER key. The program will create the SETUP.DAT file and exit to the DOS prompt. If it is not, you must type in the name of the directory name. (example) C:\BANDOR\ CONFIG will verify that the directory exists, and then create the SETUP data file and then ask you for your sound selection. For sound, you may make one of four selections. 1) No sound 2) PC Speaker 3) Sound blaster board with no digitized sounds 4) Sound blaster board with digitized sounds. Digitized sounds are only supported by the SoundBlaster II and SoundBlaster III boards. N.B. on Sound Blaster For proper support of the the sound blaster board, the system assumes that the Autoexec.Bat file has setup the two environment variables Sound and Blaster. If these variables are not set, the program will hang or product no sound whatsoever. To ensure that these variables are properly set, list out your Autoexec.Bat file. You should see the following two entries... @SOUND= followed by the directory for the Sound Drivers BLASTER= followed by the interrrupt and DMA channels for the board example- @Sound = C:\SB Set Blaster = A220 I7 D1 T3 Also note that for proper support of Digitized sound, the system depends on the CTVDSK driver being available. Typically, the driver, CTVDSK.DRV, is located in the \DRV sub-directory within the directory indicated by the SOUND environment variable. example- @Sound=C:\SB Bandor will look for a sub-directory labeled \DRV to contain the CTVDSK.SYS driver. If the \DRV directory is not present, then the program will hang when it attempts to produce digitized sounds. Also suppled with BANDOR is a README.EXE file. This file will contain any information added to the game after the creation of this manual. ---Mouse Usage--- A mouse is REQUIRED to play BANDOR. During the play of the game, the left mouse key (Mouse button 1) generally signals acceptance of an answer. The right mouse key (Mouse button 2) acts as an escape. For instance, when moving a player during a battle sequence, you use the left mouse button to move the character. When you are finished moving, you use the right mouse button to end the movement. For some selections, either mouse button is acceptable because the game will ask you to confirm an answer with a Yes or a No. ---Startup--- To start the game, change your directory to the one in which the BANDOR game is located, and type BANDOR. The game will open with the logo and then go into the BANDOR opening graphic. To exit the opening graphic, hit the ENTER key.After you have exited the Opening Graphic Screen, the computer will load the Main Menu. ---Starting a Quest--- You start each session of BANDOR from the Main Menu. There are several options available to you. These include: Introduction- The wizard OSI welcomes you to the game, and gives a background on the present situation. Create- Allows you to create a character. Edit- Allows you to edit a character. Note that you can only edit Novice characters, and characters that are not in the present party. Delete- Allows you to delete a character. You cannot delete a character that is in the present party. Form- Allows you to form a party of up to 4 characters with which you proceed through the adventure. Start- Actually starts the adventure running. Quit- Quits back to the DOS prompt. To select any of these options, move the mouse arrow over the selection, and hit the mouse button. If you press the left Mouse button over any portion of the screen that is not a valid selection, the system changes the Mouse to a question mark, and then proceeds. If sound is turned on, you will receive a tonal signal. ---Character Creation--- Before you can run an adventure you must have created characters to take through the adventure. The system allows you to create and store up to 10 characters. Each character has the following capabilities: Strength This characteristic is the most important for combat. This characteristic ranges from 0-100%, depending on how strong and rested your character is. A character with a strength of 100% will be able to hit as hard as possible during combat. A character with a strength of 50% will be able to hit half as hard as they normally would during combat. Magic is a statement of how effective a spell cast by the character will be. This value ranges from 0-100% A character will a value of 100% will be able to cast a spell as hard as possible. If a character has a 0% magic value, they cannot cast a spell. Luck Is a statement of how good a character is at dodging during battle. This values ranges from 0-100%. For example, with a value of 100%, a character will be able to dodge 1/2 of the time. With a value of 25%, a character will be able to dodge 1/8 of the time. Life Is a statement of how much damage a character can suffer. This value ranges from 1-15 for a Novice character. As a character gains in experience, they gain more life (i.e. they can suffer more damage during combat). Armor The better armor a character is wearing, the better they can Effectiveness shrug off enemy blows. No armor gains a character a "LIGHT" armor rating. Leather Armor gains a character a "MEDIUM" armor rating. Plate Armor gains a character a "HEAVY" rating. Each character can be one of five different races. The races include: Humans The most prevalent race through the City. Humans are equally good at about every profession. Elves Not as strong as humans, however elves have an extreme affinity for magic. Dwarves Smaller than humans, however they make great warriors because of their great strength. They have no bent for magic, however, and tend to be resistant to the magic of others. Half-Elves A combination of humans and elves, they are somewhat stronger than elves, but do not have the same dexterity at magic as full elves. Half-Dwarves A combination of dwarves and humans, with the magic capability of the human species combined with the hardiness of the dwarves. Each character must be of a certain profession. Friars- are valuable to a party for the magic ability (mainly the ability to heal) as well as some fighting ability. They are typically weaker than true warriors, but are stronger than pure Mages. Mages start as the weakest of the characters, but as they advance in their profession, they become the most feared of adventurers, throwing fireballs and lightening bolts and quickly evening up the odds of the worst battles. Warriors are the stalwarts of the party. Warriors usually have little or no magic ability. There main usefulness is to defend the rest of the party from harm, and to bash down doors. Thieves are adequate warriors (especially when hitting someone from behind). There main special ability is the ability to pick locks. Rogues Rogues are a combination of Warrior and Thief. Only halfling type characters may be rogues. The highest a rogue can advance to the Master level. Jack-of-all trades Jacks of all trades are characters that know a little bit of everything. A Jack of all trades can function as a thief, as a Warrior, and as a Mage. The highest advancement a JOT can attain is to the Senior Professional plateau. Once you have selected the CREATE Character Menu, you will notice that the menu options will change to: FACE RACE PROF ROLL END Click on FACE to change the face of the character. You have eight different faces to display. Use the horizontal arrows to select the face that you wish, and then click on the OK button when you are finished. Once you have selected the face, the system will provide you with a text entry area in which you may enter the name of your character (from 1-15 letters). Enter the name, and hit ENTER when finished. RACE/PROFESSION are all changed in a similar manner. Clicking on any one of these presents you with the horizontal arrows that you used in the Change FACE option. Select the RACE/PROFESSION of the character. Click on the OK button when finished. Experience is a reflection of the character's overall advancement in their chosen profession. All characters created in BANDOR start as Novices. ROLL- allows you to re-roll for the values for this character. The only variable numbers are for the character's Life (from 1-15) and the character's Luck (from 1-100) When you have created the character they way that you want, select END to stop making changes. The system will ask you whether or not you wish to store the character. Indicate either Yes or No. You will be returned to the main menu. ---Character Ending--- The Edit Character menu option performs in a similar fashion to the Create Character menu. The only difference is that you cannot edit characters that are part of the party and you cannot edit characters above Novice. Once you select EDIT, the system will display the horizontal arrows allowing you to scroll through the characters available on the system. When you have found the character that you wish to edit, select OK. ---Character Deletion--- The Delete Character menu option allows you to delete old or useless characters. This function is valuable since the system allows you to store only up to 10 characters total. You cannot delete characters that are part of the current party. Once you select DELETE, the system will display the horizontal arrows allowing you to scroll through the characters available on the system. When you have found the character that you wish to delete, select OK. The system will prompt you asking if you really wish to delete this character. Click on Yes or No. ---Forming a Party--- The FORM Party menu option allows you to select the characters that you would like to take through the adventure. If there is already a party in the Adventure, the system will ask you whether or not you wish to delete the present party. If you decide to delete the present adventure, the current adventure is deleted, EVEN IF YOU DECIDE LATER TO NOT FORM THE PARTY! Once you have selected this option, the system will present you with the names and faces of all the characters available. To place a character into the party, click on the face of the character. You may select no more than 4 characters. Select the ENTER button with the Mouse to form the party, or the ESC button with the mouse to end your selection and abort the party. ---Start Game--- Once you are ready to start the game, select START. The system will check to ensure that you have indeed a party formed. During a later session, in the middle of an adventure, selecting this option will take you to the last place that you Saved a game. ---Play--- The main playing screen is displayed when you select START from the Bandor menu. The screen displays 4 movement arrows located centered at the bottom of the screen. next to the movement arrows is displayed the options selection. On the right hand side of the screen is displayed your characters for this game. Around each character is displayed their key elements- Their armor (leather or plate). Their weapon, and a shield (if they are using one). Below this is a red line indicating their current life. As this line moves closer to the left side, it is an indication that the character is getting weaker and weaker. If the character is unconscious, their picture will be displayed as if grayed out. If the character is dead, a skull will be displayed in place of their picture. Movement- To move around in the city, used the four arrow keys located at the bottom of the screen display. Use the up arrow to move forward, and the backward arrow to move back. Use the left and right curved arrows to turn either left or right. Options- Located next to the arrow keys is the options menu. The options menu provides you with the following capabilities: Save Game Saves the game at its current point. Load Game Loads in the game at its last saved point. Date&Time Gives you the date and time in the game at its current point. As the game progresses, it gets increasingly harder to fight through the monsters, so there is some advantage in getting through the game as quickly as possible. Note that for each day you go without resting, the strength and the magic percentages of your characters fall by 20%/day, so you should rest at regular intervals. View Map BANDOR is a self-mapping game. When you select this option, the screen will display a map parchment of the current area (The Slums, the City, or the Forest). Any square you have seen is highlighted. An X will be placed on the map at your current position. To view the other maps, click with the mouse on the horizontal arrows. To exit back to the main menu, click with the mouse on the ESC button displayed on the screen. Rest To restore lost life , you must rest. One life point is restored for every hour that you rest. 5% of strength and 5% of magic are also restored for every hour of rest. Magic works differently within BANDOR than in other role- playing adventures. To cast a spell, a magic user (Friar or a Mage) has to gather certain ethereal forces together. During combat, these forces are expended. The more advanced a magic-user is in their profession, the better they are at utilizing the forces they have gathered. This reflects the fact that a more experienced character does not panic as easily during battle. A Novice can use 1 spell during combat A Journeyman can use 2 spells during combat An Expert can use 3 spells during combat A Professional can use 4 spells during combat A Senior Professional can use 5 spells during combat A Master can use 6 spells at one time during combat A Senior Master can use 7, and a Sage can use 8. To select spells to which this ethereal force will be applied, select SELECT SPELLS from the Rest menu. Select the magic user. The game will display the spells that the magic-user knows. Select the spells to which the magic user wishes to apply their gathered ethereal force. To actually rest, select the option rest from the rest menu. The system will ask you to type in how many hours that you wish to rest. Respond with from 1-99 hours. Resting restores Strength, Magic ability, as well as Life. Note that you cannot rest in town. You must go the Keg&Ale to rest, where lodging will cost you 1 gold piece. Also note that the longer that you rest in the forest or in the slums, the better chance that your rest will be disturbed by a gang of monsters. Quit Quits the game. DOES NOT SAVE THE GAME! ---Manipulating Characters--- To manipulate your characters, click with the left mouse button anywhere within the box around the character. There are three screen for each character. The values screen, the inventory screen, and the spells screen. (Note that while you are working with a character, you are locked out from selecting any other options with the mouse). next to the character's face is displayed red horizontal arrows. The red arrows can be used to scroll through the characters. At the bottom of the screen is displayed an ESC button. Clicking on this button with the left mouse key will return you to the main game. Below the character's face is displayed three objects- A suit of armor, a bag, and a book of spells. To display the values for a character, click on the suit of armor. To display and manipulate the items the character is carrying, click on the bag. To display and use the magic that the character currently knows, click on the book of spells. The Values screen- The values screen displays the current status of the character. The Values screen contains one manipulatible object, the amount of gold that the character is carrying. To transfer gold from one character to another, click on the gold line with the left mouse key. (To transfer 1/2 half of the gold that a character is carrying, click with the right mouse key). To finish the transfer, scroll to the character to transfer the gold to and click on that character's FACE. The Inventory screen- The inventory screen lists all of the objects that a character is carrying (up to 20 objects). Four objects at a time are displayed. To scroll through the inventory, click with the left mouse key on the up/down arrows next to the inventory displayed. Below the inventory display is a pictorial layout of what the character is using at the moment, including their weapon, their armor, and their shield. Manipulating objects is easy within the game of BANDOR. To take an object off of a character, click with the left mouse key on the object's picture. The mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a X display. Move the mouse cursor over an empty square in the person's inventory list and click the left mouse key. To move an item of inventory from one person to another, simply scroll to the appropriate destination character and click over the inventory. When moving inventory, clicking the left mouse key will move all of one item (several daggers, for instance). Clicking the right mouse key when you start the movement will move 1/2 of the items. When you move items onto a person, the objects are represented in the following manner: The top left square around the display represents the person's armor. The square below the armor represents the person's weapon, and the square next to the person's weapon represents the character's shield. Any time you try to move an inventory item that has a count of more than 1 onto the person (such as a dagger) the system will only move one 1 of the items. When you are done manipulating the inventory, click on the ESC button with the left mouse key. The spell screen- The spell screen works similarly to the inventory screen in that you can display all of the spells (up to 20 that the character knows). The spells are displayed four at a time. A count of the number of instances of that spell are displayed next to the spell. To scroll through the spells, use the red vertical arrows next to the spells. At any time, you may cast a healing spell (Heal Wounds). To cast a spell, click on the spell. Use the horizontal arrows next to the character's face to scroll to the character that you wish to heal, and click the left mouse key over the character's face. The healing spell will be cast. ---Moving--- To move through the game, use the arrow buttons located next to the options menu. Clicking with the left mouse key on the up arrow moves you forward. Clicking with the left mouse key on the down arrow moves you back. Clicking with the left mouse key on the arrow pointing to the left or to the right turns you 90 degrees in that direction. Doors When you come to a door, it may either be locked or un-locked, or it may be an entrance to a special location. If the door is the entrance to a special location, the game will display the name of the location, followed by the question ENTER?. Next to the ENTER? question will be two buttons labeled YES and NO. Select the appropriate response. If the door is locked, the game will tell you so, along with the option to unlock the door with magic, by picking, or by bashing the lock. Select one of the three options, or EXIT menu to not attempt to open the door. If you select magic, you must have a magic user with an OPEN DOORS spell. Click on the magic user who has the spell. The spell will be cast. If you select pick, you must then select a thief character. The ability of the thief to open the door is proportional to their advance- ment in their chose profession. If you select bash, you may select any character. The ability of the character to bash the door is proportional to their experience. A warrior has the best chance of bashing down a door. ---Encounters--- There are three kinds of encounters that your characters will run into. The first is a special encounter with a non-playing character. These encounters vary in size and danger to the party. You will be presented with various questions you may ask, or menu choices that you may make. Pick wisely because the wrong choice may destroy the party! The second is actually finding something in the midst of moving through the city. An example of this would be the Golden Apple. One of the quests that the council offers is asking you to undertake is to find and return a Golden Apple to them from the forest. During your travels, of you come upon the Apple, pick it up, and return it to the Council, who will reward you with experience and gold. The third type of encounter is the most common. It is battle with monsters. This type of encounter is the most important in that in succeeding in battle, your questers gain in experience points. The more experience points that a quester has, the higher their experience rises. The more experience a quester is, the more life that they have, the more damage they can take, and the better they can fight in the next encounter. When you are moving, at odd times you will come upon a band of monsters. On the 3-D display you will see the monsters move towards you. The game will tell you the number of monsters, and give you the choice of doing the following: Attack Reorganize Flee If you attack, you are committing to battle. If you think you can win an encounter, it is best to select Attack, because this option will you give you the initiative in battle. If you re-organize, you will be given the opportunity to re-arrange your party. This is important if you want the warriors to be in front of the magic-users, or if you want the magic-users to be closer to the monsters (and therefore in a better position to throw a spell). If you select this If you flee, you will a chance to escape the monsters. If you are caught fleeing, the monsters will have the initiative in the attack. There is no dishonor in fleeing from a monster bigger than you are! During the battle, the system will take you one by one through your characters. Each character can perform one of the following actions: Move- Once you go into battle, the bottom of the screen changes. The options menu, and the compass go away, and you are left instead with the arrow display, supplemented by two additional horizontal arrows. To move a character turn them in the appropriate direction by clicking with the mouse on the right/left curved arrows. Move them forward by clicking the mouse on the up arrow, move them back by clicking on the down arrow, move them to the left or to the right by clicking on the left or right arrows. To end your movement, click anywhere with the right mouse button. Note that if you move into the vicinity of a monster, there is a chance that the monster will turn on you and hit you. Magic- Any magic user may cast an attack, a sleep, or a healing spell during battle. to cast a spell, select Magic from the actions menu. Aim the spell by using the arrow keys over the target area for the spell. To actually cast the spell, click with right mouse button. Assuming the spell is in range and you have a clear line of sight to the destination, the spell will be cast. It is important to note that for a Magic-user to perform magic, no enemy character can be next to the magic-user. If there is an enemy next to the magic user, the system will abort the spell and display the message "Enemy Too Close". Note that during combat the ethereal force that a magic user applied to a spell will be dispelled, and therefore that spell will be of no use during the rest of the combat session. Immediately after combat, however, the ethereal force will re-gather, and the magic user will again have access to the spell. Aim- Use aim to hit with the weapon at hand. To aim, select aim from the actions menu, and then select the target square. Note that warriors need more room for distance weapons (daggers, darts, and bows) so no enemy can be next to the character. Also note that a bow requires that you also have arrows in the inventory Flee- When a character is outnumbered or badly injured, it is time to flee. When a character flees, they are removed from further combat during the particular encounter. If a character attempts to flee, they can perform no other actions during that round. There is a 45% chance that their flight will be successful. Ending your turn-To end the turn of a character, select END TURN. It is important to make sure that the character is facing towards any potential enemies that may hit them the next round before you end their turn. if a character is hit in the back there is a much greater likelihood that they will be hurt. Ending the battle - When a battle is finished, the game will bring up the picture of a treasure chest, and will divide up the gold and experience points that were won during the battle. ---Final Notes--- For best party utilization, a party should contain 1 Mage, 1 Friar 1 Warrior, and 1 Rogue. The Warrior should be located at the front of the party. You should start by first going to the Council to list out the commissions. (The East door to the Council is located at 17,20). Note that there are plenty of quests located around the city, so stay there first This is because of two reasons: 1) You won't be surpised by any monsters 2) It gives you a chance to learn how to move around in friendly surroundings When you have gotten a few battles under your belt, proceed to the Forest where the Golden Apple can be found, and fight your way across the ford to kill the Black Dragon that haunts to South East corner of the forest. When you are finally ready, cross over into the City Slums. The GateKeeper at the gate will ask you for 100 gold pieces for a fee. Don't fight him if you can avoid it! Good luck, and good questing. APPENDIX A How to gain in experience. For every 7,000 points of experience, your character is allowed to advance in their particular profession. The plateaus for each profession are: Novice Journeyman Expert Professional Senior Professional - The highest plateau for a Jack of All Trades Master - The highest plateau for a Rogue Senior Master Sage APPENDIX B Monsters The monsters encountered within the walls of BANDOR range from the relatively easily defeated through the extremely difficult. When you encounter a group of monsters, remember that there is no shame in running from something tougher than you are! Each monster has several different capabilities. These include how far the monster can move in a single turn, it's resistance to magic, the experience of the monster, and it's size. The amount of damage a monster can take (it's life) are a multiple of 15 times its experience. The resistance to magic of a monster is a reflection of how easily it can withstand a mage's or a friar's spell. This is expressed as a percentage from 0-100%. A percentage of 25% means that 25% of the time, your spell will have no affect on the monster. Magic states any spells that the monster might be capable of using. Giant Ants Novice Resistance to Magic: Normal Magic: None Wild Bulls Professional Resistance to Magic: Normal Magic: None Black Dragons Master Resistance to Magic: 35% Magic: None Dwarves Novice Resistance to Magic: 25% Magic: None Huge Rats Novice Resistance to Magic: Normal Magic: None Giant Rats Novice Resistance to Magic: Normal Magic: None Bandits Journeyman Resistance to Magic: Normal Magic: None The Storm Giant King Senior Master Level 7 Resistance to Magic: 65% Magic: FlameStrike C'Dor Professional Resistance to Magic: 25% Magic: None APPENDIX C Magic Spells The spells listed here are divided between combat and non-combat spells.
