Foreword
The arena has been around as long as anyone can remember.
So has its champion, The Dark Slayer.
Year in and year out, the city of Dark Haven acquires
prisoners and slaves from around the world to be devoured as inexpensive
gladiators by its cherished arena.
All of the gladiators die. All of the fans cheer.
Many die immediately, cowering and alone.
Others race up the ranks, grow in power and, in
the end, are consumed by the Dark Slayer.
A few of them manage to live in relative comfort;
gaining a bit of prestige, a few fans, and a bit of money. They
train hard, explore Dark Haven, choose their foes wisely, and get
plain lucky. Then they get old, and slow. They too are dead.
Escape is unheard of. It can’t happen. The
Arena has been here for hundreds of years and no gladiator has ever
left...
Yet...
Dark Haven: The Arena(c) is an epic role
playing game for the 3Com Palm Pilot™ and IBM WorkPad™.
Take control of an adventurer who has been captured and forced to
fight in an arena for the entertainment of the spectators. Survival
will be a challenge, but through careful planning and training you
just might make it. And if by some miracle you do manage to survive
the first few days, you might be able to snatch a couple of free
moments to explore the city of Dark Haven and plot your escape.
Along the way you will encounter 70 different types
of creatures, find over 160 different items, explore 50 regions,
and join one of four specialized guilds that will allow you to shape
your character into a mighty paladin, a crafty thief, a pious priest,
or a mysterious wizard. You will train in 8 statistics, choose from
a library of 42 different spells, meet and interact with dozens
of interesting characters, advance through championship ranks in
The Arena, solve deadly puzzles...
Master The Arena, and you just may escape from Dark
Haven.
