History Literature / Magehunter

* ProportionatelyPonderousParasites: After defeating the giant crab, if you return to the same area where you defeat it some time later, you'll discover the gigantic carcass to be infested with hordes of snake-sized parasitic worms, which will slither towards you. You need to defeat the entire swarm, but thankfully they're rather weak enemies.

* AssistCharacter: Reinhardt is capable of assisting you in battles, but given his low SKILL stat he won't be helping much.

* ContinuityNod: The storyteller Al-Fakik will tell you the tale of Bythos's invasion and the treachery of Sige the Silent, which is the main storyline of the previous Kallamehr-set gamebook ''Literature/SlavesOfTheAbyss''. He didn't get to finish the story however, probably to avoid spoiling the events of the book to any newcomers to the FF-verse.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: Subverted, your character did show up on the front cover of the book (you're the unlucky sod trapped in the Roc's talons) but your features are still mostly obscured.

* ScaryScorpions: One of these attacks you in the desert, and can use its poisonous stinger to inflict greater damage on you.

* WeHaveToGetTheBulletOut: Reinhardt might get sgit dyring this adventure, at which point you'll have to do this. Lacking the proper tools? [[NauseaFuel Then you'll need to do this using your fingers]]...

* WizardDuel: You can summon a genie to battle against Mencius. Both magical combatants will use EnergyBlasts and [[ShockAndAwe bolts of electricity]] to assault each other, but [[spoiler: unfortunately Mencius has the upper hand]]...

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: If you purchase a dog (which you named Kurt) as a RightHandAttackAnimal, sadly it won't make it out of the book alive. Right at the end of the quest where you're facing down Mencius' skeleton horde, Kurt will distract the skeletons for you to escape, getting itself hacked to death in the process]]...

* GuestStarPartyMember: Reinhardt, the son of Margrave, which you form an uneasy alliance with.

* ScaryScorpions: One of these attacks you in the desert, and can use its poisonous stinger to inflict greeter damage on you.

--> "Under the patronage of the Margrave Mechtner, you have become the foremost Magehunter of your age. Orayan the Summoner of Demons, Yurial of Rachsburg, Salome the Warlock's Bride - these notorious sorcerers, and many others, have fallen to you."

Returning to Kallamehr, the FF-verse's FantasyCounterpartCulture to Ancient Persia, this time the hero - YOU - are the titular Magehunter, hunter and pursuer of sorcerors and magicians, who hails from a world where magic was real and dangerous. Transported through a portal to Allansia by the mage Mencius, which you have captured recently and is about to claim your eventual bounty as reward, you must hunt down Mencius and find a way to return to your own world.

In addition to your usual stats, the adventure sheet of ''Magehunter'' also provides you with an extra ''COMPANION'' box; as the adventure goes on, you'll find out soon enough that your not the only one with a score to settle with Mencius. The problem though, is that... will you and your fellow companion, which you're reluctantly stuck with, complete this adventure... without killing each other?

* ArabianNightDays: The adventure brings you back to Kallamehr, the FF-verse’ FantasyCounterpartCulture of Ancient Persia.

* BehemothBattle: As depicted on the front cover, there is a fierce battle between a Roc and a Winged Serpent… and you just happen to be ensnared in the Roc’s talons! If the Roc loses, then its Game Over for you!
* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler: Losing to Mencius in the final battle will end with you being turned into a rat]].
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: At the end of your adventure Reinhardt offers you a position as his chief retainer out of gratitude, but you decline. The Mage-hunting lifestyle is the life you're comfortable with after all!]]

* FantasyGunControl: Averted, you begin your adventure with your trusty flintlock as your sidearm, and you are given several opportunities to use it.
* FreakyFridayFlip: At various points of the game, you will find yourself swapping bodies with Reinhardt, most of the time against your will. Sometimes you can ‘’deliberately’’ execute a body swap with him, though.

* GiantFlyer: You can get into a fight against a Roc, and if your unlucky, you might get carried away by the humongous monster and be fed to its young!

* HeadbuttingHeroes: You and Reinhardt don’t really see eye-to-eye with each other most of the time, in fact your alliance in this quest is more of a matter of coincidence.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Mages can be hurt when being bound by ropes made of human hair.
* {{Yeti}}: The Shaggy Shambler that attacks you resembles a traditional yeti. Seems unusual to see one of these in a Middle-Eastern inspired fantasy setting though!

* AssistCharacter: Reinhardt, the son of Margrave, which you form an uneasy alliance with.

* ArabianNIghtDays: The adventure brings you back to Kallamehr, the FF-verse’ FantasyCounterpartCulture of Ancient Persia.
