[edit] Story
YOU are a Magehunter, tracking down evil-doers and bringing them to justice. Your trusty flintlock pistol and fine steel broadsword have seen many fights, and you have the knowledge, skill and equipment to capture the craftiest sorcerer. But disaster strikes. Magic drags you far from your familiar world, to a land of treasures, traps, and treachery. Strange tales and bizarre transformations must all be endured if you are to win through, defeat your enemy and return to your homeland.
In this book the player takes the role of a magehunter from a fantasy setting somewhat more advanced than the usual Fighting Fantasy setting of Titan. The player is transported to Titan and must track down the wizard Mencius, kill him and them return to their homeworld. The adventure involves body-switching and for much of the book the player is accompanied by a companion.
