Kobold Magic User

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kobold Magic User is a fictional character from Sierra Entertainment's classic graphic adventure game Quest for Glory: So You Want To Be A Hero? which was first released as Hero's Quest in 1989.

The Kobold Magic User was a reclusive strange creature with glowing eyes, ragged clothes and a hunger for what appeared to be strange mushrooms. He lived deep within a cave in the Valley of Spielburg, often guarded by a large Ogre. He used powerful magic to cast the force bolt spell, hid his valuables with invisibility and explosive spells, and even transformed the Baronet Barnard Von Spielburg into a bear. The Kobold Magic User was a known menace in the Valley of Spielburg and the Baron Stefan Von Spielburg was happy to be rid of him upon the return of his son. In order to retrieve the key that would break the Baronet's enchantment, the hero had the choice to either sneakily steal from the sleeping Kobold, kill him and take it, or "fetch" it magically. Although the hero is rewarded for his valiant efforts, the Baronet may have been more pleasant as a bear.
