-:- DELIVERANCE from 21ST CENTURY SOFTWARE -:-


Scenario
--------

The future of Llzn Cerrig had looked bleak. The evil and twisted Queen
Bahd had imprisoned the Fairy guardians of the Realm, a place of great
natural beauty and wonder, so that she could set about draining the
very life-force from the land to sustain her aged body. In desperate
attempt one fairy had managed to enlist the help of the Stormlord to
free them from the clutches of the evil Crone and rid the land from
the threat of desolation she imposed. He succeeeded in his mission but
was unable to slay the Queen, who managed to escape to lands unknown.

Many years of peace and harmony passed, and all was well within Llyn
Cerrig. Little did the Fairies know, but the harmony of The Realm was
soon to be broken by a terrible Darkness which smothered the land for
a full 40 days. Panic and confusion spread throughout and was added by
the sudden realisation that as each darkened day passed the colony was
getting smaller - Fairy-folk were simply vanishing. Word soon spread
through the remaining Fairies that the Evil Queen Bahd had returned to
ravish the land, this time in league with the Devil himself! Together
with his many evil minions they were again snatching and imprisoning
The Realms' Fairy guardians in order to leave it bare of defence, and
their ultimate mercy...

The days passed and eventually all the Fairy-folk were captured and
imprisoned deep within Satan's Palace. The Darkness was lifted from
the land and the Crone Queen set about draining the precious life-
force from it, transforming it into wasteland...


Aim of the Game
---------------

As the Stormlord, you have been given the task of locating, freeing
and then delivering the inprisioned Fairies from Satan's Palace,
through the Pits of Hell, the Enchanted Forest and the Devil-ridden
skies of Heaven where the amassed power of the rescued Fairy-folk and
the pure energy of goodness can join to overcome the forces of Evil
which are destroying The Realm.

To help you in your task you have geen given an unlimited supply of
Battle-axes and a set of Opal markers to help you navigate your way
out of Hell and into Heaven.

You will be attacked by many of the Devils varied henchmen who will
try different ways to kill you. You have 3 lives with which to com-
plete your task. At the end of every section of your quest you will
face a fearsome guardian who must be slain for you journey to conti-
nue - each of these has a week-spot where it can be destroyed. It is
up to you to identify it.

If you lose energy you can take a rest (stand still) - your energy
will them slowly build up. A better way to gain energy is to collect
the coins that are dropped by dying enemies or are found in clusters.
To collect a coin simply walk into it. To collect a Fairy, once it is
visible simply touch it.

Collect the Cherubs in Level 4 to power up your weapons! (simply fly
into them).
