Dragons. Dwarfs. War.
And you, the unloved hero: A farm golem.

Earn the trust of scheming dwarf lords and unearth their lost arcana. Drive off the dragon hordes... Or erode into history with all of Dwarfdom.
Diverse dice challenges, not just rolls. Destruction lies before you, drawing nearer if you fail.
ㅤ
This complete solo gamebook is a branching narrative with all the features of the best-selling What Lies Beneath, plus 50% more content. All you need to play is five 6-sided dice and a pencil with eraser.

5 Missions: Try to reach 7 different victory endings amid dozens of ways to lose.
Meaningful replay value: Improve your dice-handling skills with every attempt.
New dice puzzles: Cleverly manipulate dice into required combinations.
Optional dexterity challenges: Knock dice with your pencil into each other.
Pause anytime: Stop mid-Mission and pick up right where you left off.
Other surprises: Immerse yourself in extensive improvements – to be revealed!

And when (not if) you’re destroyed, your golem’s developing soul allows you to boost your next character. Perhaps, this time, you will emerge victorious.
