Chasms of Malice is a single player roleplaying gamebook written by Luke Sharp and illustrated by Russ Nicholson. It is the thirtieth Fighting Fantasy gamebook in the original Puffin numbering system, and has yet to be released in the series of Wizard reprints. It features a 'fuel' score, and a 'One-Strike Combat' system for tight-area combat, which has no association with skill. It also features numerous instant deaths, making it one of the harder books to complete of the Fighting Fantasy series.
[edit] Story
You play a direct descendant of Tancred the magnificent. The protagonist is sent on a quest to find the True Shield by the Wizard Astragal, and given the aid of the cat goddess Tabasha the Bazouk. The adventure takes place in a series of tunnels and caverns under Gorak, in Khul. In addition, the seven Khuddam have to be killed.
