La Saga du Prêtre Jean (The Prester John's Saga) is a series of French Gamebooks, not dissimilar from other series like Fighting Fantasy or GrailQuest. It was written by Doug Headline, with the collaboration of Dominique Monrocq, Michel Pagel and Jacques Collin.The books features a protagonist, the legendary Prester John himself, here depicted as a crusader under Richard the Lion-Hearted. During his sojourn in Acre, John learns from a crumbling papyrus of a legendary city somewhere in the far East, a city where Death, Plague and Unhappiness are unknown: the City of Eternal Youth, Shangri-La. Thrilled at the prospect, the crusader prepares himself for a dangerous journey that will take him all over the ancient world across time itself, all the way to the mythical city.The series is composed of the five following books: The Fortress of Alamut (La Forteresse d'Alamuth) — The beginning of your adventure, where Prester John must face the perils of the deadly Hashashin Stronghold in order to start his journey The Eye of the Sphinx (L'Œil du sphinx) — Set in Ancient Egypt, Prester John must find the high priest Akanit amongst the dusty, undead-infested tombs of the past. The Mines of King Solomon (Les Mines du roi Salomon) — Set in Africa, Prester John seeks the advice of King Solomon's adviser Nikanor, but must search for him into the depths of the title mines. Mysteries of Babylon (Les Mystères de Babylone) — Set in the city of Babylon, Prester John has to look for the advice of three sages in order to find the precious information about Shangri-La. The Worshipers of Evil (Les Adorateurs du mal) — Set in India, on his way to China our hero finds himself caught in the conspiracy of the Thuggee, trying to summon a powerful demon with a sacred weapon.The series was supposed to continue in three more books set in China, Mongolia and finally Tibet, but because of the progressive decline of Gamebooks as whole in France, these books never saw the light. This did not stop a group of zealous and affectionate Italian fans from writing the three, unofficial books that ends the saga, keeping the original titles announced by the original series, namely: In the Land of the Dragons (Nel Paese dei Dragoni) — Detailing the journey of Prester John from India to China. The Desert of Death (Il Deserto della Morte) — Where Prester John must venture forth into the eldritch Desert of Gobi looking for Agartha. Shangri-La! — Set in Tibet, Prester John has to obtain enlightenment and overcome cosmic horrors in order to enter Shangri-La.Pretty much like Fighting Fantasy, Prester John has to roll for his Strength and Vitality scores, possess a rucksack which can hold ten items, some of which may prove useful, and can use spells from scrolls or items. Furthermore, there are a couple of special abilities: scoring a double six in combat kills the opponent instantly, while the opposite happens if the enemy rolls a double one. While the Vitality Stat is much higher than usual (2 dices + 18) the damage inflicted in combat is equal to the difference between your Strength Roll and your enemy's, allowing you to deal or receive more damage. Furthermore, being a man of faith, Prester John can, once per adventure, convert a single humanoid and sentient enemy to his cause, skipping a combat, and from Book 2 onward he can use the power of the deadly Eye of Horus to vanquish certain enemies.The narration is mostly serious, though there are a couple of funny, tongue-in-cheek moments along the way, not to mention several references to mythology, folktales and even the Lovecraftian mythos. | |

Genre Shift: The last two books are closer to a Cosmic Horror Story. Book 8, being centered around your quest for enlightment, sports less combat and more descriptions and verbal interactions with other characters. | |

Failure Is the Only Option | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: In book 4, at one point you can open a door and you're asked if you're wearing an helmet or not. If you don't, the following Tap on the Head will kill you instantly. If you do, the following Tap on the Head will stun you long enough for the mugger to stab you dead. In both cases you're robbed and your corpse is thrown in the Tigris. The same book has an inverted case if you accidentally join the queue outside the temple, waiting to participate in a pagan orgy with the young virgin maidens inside. If you lack the items that'll allow you to escape this predicament, Prester John will pretend to faint on the stairs of the temple rather than stain his honor with such a depraved ritual. The worse thing that happens to you is to be mocked by some of the guys there as they enter the temple. In Book 5, the Thuggees will eventually get ahold of the Sacred Katar, even if you give it to the Brahmin sage. | |

Attack Backfire | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_3069d72a | comment |
Attack Backfire: Sometimes the red beams of the Eye of Horus will prove useless against certain enemies, even giving them bonuses. In Book 3, using the beam against lava men turns them into much stronger diamond men. In Book 4, firing it against a gelatinous cube with a skull encased in it results in the beam being diffracted by the cube, then focused again by the skull's eyesockets and fired back at you for an instant kill. In Book 5, fighting a Thuggee with the sacred Katar not only will give you a Strength malus (it's a weapon you're unfamiliar with), but the final strike will summon an Asura that you'll have to fight. | |

Kick the Son of a Bitch: In Book 2, you can rescue Faltine by just walking up the Smug Snake slave trader selling her and killing him in battle. In book 3, trying to talk with the Kobold in the mess hall causes him to punch you, only to hurt his hand. You can then punch him back and pour the contents of his bowl over him, which gains the sympathy of the much more helpful Orc taskmaster. | |

Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: While the series overall tells a serious and epic tale, there are plenty of humorous moments, like the encounter with the bed monster in book 2 or the way the Bar Brawl is treated in book 5 if you decide to pretend that it's an hallucination. | |

Optional Sexual Encounter: Several, usually in the even numbered books. The narration is discreet about it: Book 2, Faltine, daughter of the priest Sephreti, will give you some Rescue Sex if you save her from the slave trader and follows her to the end. Book 4, Nana-Dirat falls in love with Prester John and has some passionate sex with him after he kills Alshaya the Black. However, if you reciprocate her love too much you get a Non Standard Game Over. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: In order to reach Agartha in Book 7 you have to find the three keyes in the Desert of Death, each in possession of three different Abominations, namely Sha Mò Er, Huàng Chòu Miàn Jù Lao and You Tian Zi. For bonus points, they are in incognito, so part of the challenge is finding out who they are, the other half is finding the item which can defeat them. In Book 8, You Seng summons a beast that it's highly implied to be a Shoggoth and the Tcho Tcho try to feed you to their god Chaugnar Faugn. | |

Tap on the Head | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_b1a7cd14 | comment |
In book 4, at one point you can open a door and you're asked if you're wearing an helmet or not. If you don't, the following Tap on the Head will kill you instantly. If you do, the following Tap on the Head will stun you long enough for the mugger to stab you dead. In both cases you're robbed and your corpse is thrown in the Tigris. | |

Attack of the Killer Whatever | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_b352279a | comment |
Attack of the Killer Whatever: The second book as an hilarious encounter with a monster that pretends to be a sleeping woman in a bed. After you kill him you're attacked by his daughter, and animated stool which bites you in the leg as you search the room and whimpers when you kick it away. In the fourth book you're attacked by a living curtain that tries to wrap itself around you and digest you. | |

Though you can fight him in the conventional way, the creature is actually an illusion and nothing more. Given that it can damage you in combat it may qualify as Your Mind Makes It Real. | |

In the fourth you may be turned int a toad, with the consoling remark that "The life of a toad is very simple, and you'll adapt quickly." | |

Needle in a Stack of Needles: In Book 3, you spent the second third of the adventure looking for Nikanor's cell, and you're likely to meet a pixie halfway through. If you accept his help, he'll tell you that you can find him behind a red door... only to walk into a series of cellblocks where all the doors have been painted red by the little trickster. In the first block, all six of them holds an hostile creature to fight. | |

Shout-Out | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Huàng Chòu Miàn Jù Lao is one to the Alchemist from a French movie, Vidocq - The Faceless Mask. Both look like robed humanoids with a featureless, reflective mask which they can use to steal the souls of those mirrored in it. They are also defeated in the same manner, by forcing them to face a mirror, which releases all the souls they've stolen and kill them. The Agarthean will give you a bag of mysterious beans that can fill your stomach and heal you if you eat them. How familiar... | |

Trying to face the other two directly will result in your swift annihilation. Also averted with Chaugnar Faugn in Book 8: at the moment you are unarmed and stripped of your equipment, fighting him is not an option. | |

Jerkass: The Kobolds you meet in book 3 are rather hostile and rude. Also Alshaya the Black from book 4. | |

Blob Monster | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_ee19d278 | comment |
Blob Monster: The Blob appears as a massive sludge monster with Combat Tentacles and a single eye in the middle of his body. If you lose too much health fighting him he'll swallow you whole. Another part of the sewer has a gelatinous cube holding an ensorcered skull that attack with eye beams, but it won't kill you, only teleport you to one of Babylon's three sages, Mahal. The previous books also have slime monsters for you to fight. | |

MacGuffin Guardian: In Alamut, each fragment of the special armor needed to face Thalos (one himself) is guarded by one, safe for the helmet. Book 2 has countless guardians in the dungeons you visit. The Winged Bull from book 4 guards the tablet with the indications to reach Shangri-La. | |

Portal Picture: Variation in Book 3: You can see three mysterious rock paintings in a tunnel that will drag you in to face three diffente obstacles: you can either climb a raven-infested tower to fight a wraith, help a knight killing two Dragons or fighting a rampaging elephant for some tribesmen. The reward is the same for all the three encounters. | |

Easy Evangelism | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_fab3235a | comment |
Easy Evangelism: The special power of Prester John in this game books, which curiously works even in the past, long before the birth of Christ. Subverted by the fact that it's not easy to perform, requiring specific conditions, and it's more a way to let you pass a difficult battle than anything else. The only time you can use it outside of combat is when you talk to a fallen missionary and it's more like a long talk rather than a few words. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_fcd993bd | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: (Or Gamebook Cruelty Punishment) In Book 3 you can just step aside and watch amused as the knight in the portrait (highly implied to be St. George himself) fights two Dragons simultaneously, only to be defeated and torn apart. If you do so, not only the two Dragons will gang up on you, but upon defeating them the whole combat will start anew, forcing you to choose whether to help St. George or running away. Oh, if you run away one of the Dragons will notice you and breath fire, damaging you. | |

Badass Preacher: Prester John, even more than in the previous series. When you're confronted by all your previous enemies in a battle inside your mind, the right way out is to pray Jesus, which allows you to vanquish them easily and proceed to the next trial. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| La Saga du Prêtre Jean / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: In book 1, you have to show some kindness to the lepers in order to get the magic helmet. In book 3, you can encounter a former missionary of King Solomon who has lost his faith (and mind) and is worshiping Chaos. If you haven't used the conversion yet, you can give him a talk that will restore his faith and sanity, earning you a reward. In book 4, Prester John leaves a saddened Nana-Dirat leaving her a memento of his own mother, a small flute, telling her that he will hear its call even from across time itself and eventually return to her. | |
