Synopsis

Mystery of the Snow Pearls is a solo adventure scenario for one player character who will need to answer the riddles of an evil mage to get back the magic pearl that keeps the character's village safe; the adventure can also be adapted to use with a party of player characters.[1]

The player character is a Companion level elf, responsible for safeguarding one of the four, magical pearls that protect the land of Tarylon. Milgo, an evil wizard with a sense of humour, challenges the elf to find and return the lost item. Without it, the entire region is threatened.

This adventure includes a piece of colored film known as a "Magic Viewer" that allows the players to read the hidden results of their choices in the text.[1] This includes encounters, puzzles, and traps.
