Lure of the Temptress | | |
English:
An old but great fantasy point-and-click adventure (DOS).
In Lure of the Temptress, the player takes on the role of a young peasant named Diermot. He was most recently employed as a beater for the king's hunting party. One night, the king receives a note from a messenger, requesting the king's services to help stamp out a rebellion in the remote village of Turnvale. As the king's men depart on their horses to ride to the rescue, Diermotfs pony follows them, and he is unwittingly dragged along to the battle. When the party arrives at Turnvale, they are confronted not by an ordinary peasant revolt, but rather by a band of fierce, inhuman mercenaries - the Skorl, led by a young and beautiful sorceress named Selena. The king's men are defeated in the battle and the king is killed. In the process, Diermot is flung from his mount and winds up on the ground unconscious; the Skorl take him prisoner, tossing him into the local dungeon. So begins the quest to rid Turnvale of the Skorl menace and the evil enchantress.
