Back to the dungeon
01:37

|||

Using the map contained in the first Basic Dungeon - Perils in the Slums cassette, you can easily find the mysterious trap door. You try the key and - wow! - it works! A feeling of unknown and danger assails you. There is also a stench of rot and mold that rises from the passage that has opened. Use a rope to descend into the darkness. Welcome to the maze of death!
|

|
The dungeon is indeed intricate: one of you has to fill the role of cartographer, otherwise you will inexorably get lost in this gloomy maze.
|

|
A parchment pinned to the wall with a stiletto reads: "You think you have free will, but it is an illusion. You are trapped in the maze: as soon as you imagine you are out of it, you reenter immediately." What does it mean?
|
||||

||||
|
You soon realize that the maze is all the same and much larger than you thought ...
|
||||

||||
|
After having turned another corner, you startled: a human figure appears in the middle of the corridor. You bring your hands to your weapons, but you realize that your enemy ... is immobile. This is a stone statue! but it looks so vivid: it represents a wizard protecting his face from some looming threat. Pure terror is carved on his face. Looking closer at the statue, you recognize the presence of symbols attributable to the guild of corrupt magicians. You suspect it is not the piece of a sculptor: that statue was once a human being!

After hours of exploration, the labyrinth doesn't just seem huge, but ... infinite. Its conformation seems to repeat itself countless times both east and west ... is it a magic? To find out, you decide to use the Hop-o'-My-Thumb's trick: you sow pieces of bread along your way. To explore faster, you divide yourself into two groups: one goes east, the other west ...
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
One of the groups faces a very massive looking iron gate. Behind the gate, the floor is cluttered with gold coins! It is a real treasure! You try to lift the gate, but it seems immovable.

The deadly loop
01:00
|
|||
|
When you meet again the others in the party despite having gone in the opposite direction then you discover that the labyrinth is much smaller than you thought: in point A there is a magical teleportation that takes you to point B, and vice versa. What looks like another labyrinth, is actually the same as you find the crumbs you had left on the ground!

Smell of ectoplasm
01:24
|
|||
|
You decide to go together to open the gate beyond where you saw the treasure. Suddenly, as if magically, the grate is lifted without any effort. You find yourself in front of the treasure, but at the same time a smell of putrefaction is released in the air: in front of you 4 ghosts materialize! You do a saving throw, but it fails: you panic and flee!
|

The chase in the maze
01:17
|
|||
|
You run everyone in different directions to escape from the four ghostly creatures. You feel their icy presence behind you. In the flee one of you stumbles on a stone on the floor (point C) and falls tumbling to the ground and, looking back, he finds out that that stone hides a secret niche ...
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
In the niche there is a yellow sphere. As soon as you hold it in your fist you realize that it is magical and it is conferring a great power that flows throughout your body. You suddenly feel invincible! The ghost that has reached you, gives a scream of terror and the roles are reversed: now you chase him! You reach it and with a blow you destroy it.
|
||||
12. |
Spectral gasp
02:53
|
|||
|
One by one the ghosts are sent back to hell thanks to the power of the magical yellow spheres!
|
||||
13. |
The treasure is ours!
01:22
|
|||
|
You fill your backpacks with gold and escape from this hellish place forever. You are rich now, but will you be able to resist the lure of adventure for long? We don't think so. We will see you at the next BASIC DUNGEON release!

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure.

My favorite out of the three I believe.The sound is more aggressive and fits the cover art of what looks like a perilous journey for the protagonist. Fits well at being the second in the trilogy of albums. Every song is good and the cassette tape and package is of good quality. A Great buy that deserves a vinyl edition.
