Thomas' Tale — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Thomas' Tale is a small 36 by 36 story map for Shadow of Death with an underground level, played on Normal difficulty. It follows a young translator journeying to his father's homeland. The author describes it as a puzzle-driven story with no town development and only one challenging fight. Only one of the two players can be human, as Teal is computer-controlled, and there are no teams. Red fields Castle and Fortress, while Teal fields Stronghold and Fortress. Subterranean, grass, dirt and rock cover most of the land, with some water. Highlights include three towns, ten quest guards, nineteen monoliths and portals, and the Orb of Silt. Victory means transporting one specific artifact, and the game is lost if time expires after 42 days.
