Naked Doom


Naked Doom is number four in FBI's solo dungeon series and is the second written by Ken St. Andre , illustrated by Rob Carver. Naked Doom is one of the more deadly dungeons in the series. Ken felt his first solo dungeon, Deathtrap Equalizer, was way too easy. He decided to go in the complete other direction and created a very deadly adventure. Ken has admitted to trying to kill the characters off. The dungeon is designed for a 1st and 2nd level human, dwarf, elf or hobbit. No magic at all is permitted, only warriors can enter.

In Naked Doom you are arrested in Khazan and sentenced to "The Royal Khazan Gauntlet of Criminal Retribution and Rehabilitation", the official name for Naked Doom. Originally it was created as a test for heroes, but many didn't return so it was taken over by the justice department of Khazan.

Your character is stripped of all your weapons and clothing and sent in naked (hence the name Naked Doom). You are then forced to run down a corridor as two guards shoot arrows at you. A bad roll of the dice and you're finished already. There are some very deadly moments in the dungeon and some very powerful treasures, making this dungeon worth the dangers.

This was Crang Ironskin's third adventure, after Buffalo Castle and Weirdworld. Crang was arrested for fighting the wrong people in a bar room brawl and was sentenced to Naked Doom.
He was almost killed right off the start, taking an arrow by one of the guards, but Crang is a tough character and pulled himself through. In the end Crang made it out of the dungeon and joined the Khazan Killers, an elite section of the Khazan Army.

  1. The Adventurer here is a great example of Rob Carvers work... ! He did a few more nice works of art like " HA HA YA missed all my Vital Spots !!!"
    I have heard that he then disappeared and no one knows what happened to him ... maybe he got lost in a dungeon...!
    I do hope you are willing to post more T & T art...!
    I have been a fan of these solo adventures for years...!
