Holotape Games
Grognak had also been made into an RPG known as Grognak & the Ruby Ruins. At a local tavern, Grognak, with 0-2 party members leave the tavern to go on a quest to stop the sorcerer known as Grelok. After leaving the tavern, they go east towards the Conjurer's tower, where they meet the conjurer who lives within. He agrees to help the group stop Grelok, however he requires 2 artifacts: The Dawnlight Locket and the Tome of the Duskborne, in order to "work his mojo". He instructs them to go north, but first they must find a way to raise the aptly-named Manticore's bridge, starting with exploring the docks. As the group proceed to the southern docks, they find the Corsair Queen, ordering her fellow pirates around, before suddenly spotting the group. The Corsair Queen agrees to help them on one condition: reactivate the lighthouse, before giving them the key. after entering the lighthouse, they are confronted by a Wraith. After vanquishing the wraith, the lighthouse is turned back on. After returning to the docks, the Corsair Queen holds up her end of the bargain. She ferries the group to the northern side of the realm, though not before charging a rather hefty, yet one-time price of 80 gold. Upon reaching the northern side, the group then proceeds to the gate guarding the Manticore's bridge, where a dwarven guard agrees to lower the bridge. The group stumbles upon the Battle Pit, where an archer named Zil tells them that she will only give them the Dawnlight Locket if they can defeat her, and her pet hound, Bramble in combat. After defeating both, Zil, true to her word, presents Grognak and his party with the Dawnlight Locket, before raising the former's hand in victory, as the pit crowd chants Grognak's name. The group eventually stumbles upon an arena, where they are surrounded by a band of mercenaries. Their leader, Mingyel, will only give the Tome of the Duskborn if the group can defeat him in combat. After agreeing to his terms, Mingyel takes the group to a makeshift arena, where he unsheathes his massive claymore and attacks them. after defeating him, Mingyel gives the tome to the group and gives Grognak a nod of respect, whereas Mingyel's fellow mercenaries back away in fear. With both artifacts in their possession, the group returns to the Conjurer, who uses his "Ghostly Calling" spell to block the magic spell guarding Foulwind Pass, wherein lay Grelok's fortress in the ruby ruins. The group then proceed to Foulwind pass, only to find their path blocked by Grelok's vanguard, the aptly-named Dread Wraith. Upon defeating the ghostly monster, the group enter the Ruby Ruins where Grelok appears, alternating between two forms: Horned Demon and Sorcerer. After a fierce battle between Grognak(and his party) and Grelok, the group successfully defeats the latter, saving the realm from Grelok's influence. Grognak has saved the day!
