The sequel to A Spot Of Bother.
How It Begins
You are Stavros 'The Bulldog' McGrogan, the hardest man the SAS had ever produced.
You are wearing your uniform, and carrying a blunt fork (with bits of mackerel on it), a pendant (which you can use up to three times to talk to Twiddles), and a photo of the Princess Leonora ("NOT to be killed"). You also have 63 life points. This is all you have left after some minor difficulties getting here. You are standing at the edge of a deep ravine, spanned by a shaky narrow bridge, clearly unsafe in this wind. A small bird flutters nearby.
On the other side of the ravine is your target: the Hungarian mountain fortress of the warlord Baron Grishtak. Sargeant Twiddles has ordered you to rescue the kidnapped princess, assassinate the warlord, blow up the fortress and get out in one piece.
