Portal of Evil is the 37th entry of the Fighting Fantasy series of Gamebooks, written by Peter Darril-Evans.Between the great Khulian cities of Zagoula and Neuburg, lie the Cloudhigh Mountains and a long stretch of wilderness left untouched by men... until a rich vein of gold was discovered. Soon, the region was overrun by prospectors, adventurers, rogues and ruffians of all sorts looking for the precious metal, but something more sinister was unleashed. Miners are vanishing, strange, antedeluvian reptiles have appeared, and the workers are afraid. The rich miner Gloten has promised a rich reward to whoever can solve this nightmare and save his community of Kleinkastel. Having heard of the fabulous reward at stake, you've decided to challenge the mysterious woods and unexplored mountains to find the source of those odd events and put an end to them once and for all.The book follows the same rules as the standard Fighting Fantasy adventure, but features an highly unusual setting which recalls to mind the Old Western stories, as well as dinosaurs being the main enemies encountered. | |

Portal of Evil / int_1397e10d | comment |
Rage Against the Reflection: Horfak is a powerful combatant, but doesn't seem aware of how much he's been changed by the portal. If he finds out, thanks to you showing him a mirror, he freaks out and faints, the power of the portal then having to take over his body, which makes him a lot less formidable. | |

Chekhov's Gun: You can acquire two caged birds to take with you, which will save your life when you walk into the Portal. Also the helmet you get from making an offering to the Mad God, which has a forward-facing mirror on top. A strange-seeming gift, to be sure, until that turns out to play to the villain's Achilles' Heel. | |

Apparently it's an effect of the Portal's influence, and even he isn't aware of his mutation, and suffers a Villainous Breakdown if he sees his reflection. | |

There's a clear distinction nonetheless; you can get a magic Ring of Zombie Warding from the wizard that works on them, but only kind of. | |

Portal of Evil / int_b97a2fa7 | comment |
Forced Transformation: A plot point: those who cross the Portal without the proper equipment are either transformed into Slave Warriors or, if their will is high enough, transformed into prehistoric animals and released in the wild. Surprisingly enough they retain their intelligence. Most of the victims were transformed into dinosaurs, though Dirlin was transformed into a bear and, in a game over, you get transformed into a giant scorpion. However, if you cross the Portal with at least two other animals, the magic fails. | |

Science Marches On: As mentioned before, most of the dinosaurs are rather dated in appearence and looks, so do not expect any feathers. | |

Large and in Charge: Horfak is a towering behemoth of a man, though only his personal bodyguards are bigger (and one of them is a Cave Giant-Orc hybrid!) | |

Hot Blade: Used against you: if you employ Alduraz's sword to free yourself from the tank, the blade will overheat the liquid and boil your arm, hurting you. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Portal of Evil / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero? Gloten will call you out if you are caught stealing from him red-handed. The narrative will call you out if you commit burglary to obtain money. The People will get angry at you if you asks for help in dealing with the Triceratops, and will force you to fight it with a shortsword. | |

Achilles' Heel | |
Portal of Evil / int_d7639dba | comment |
Also the helmet you get from making an offering to the Mad God, which has a forward-facing mirror on top. A strange-seeming gift, to be sure, until that turns out to play to the villain's Achilles' Heel. | |

Mama Bear: The Triceratops you fight is just protecting her eggs, and you have no choice in the matter. | |

Portal of Evil / int_e1acc872 | comment |
From Nobody to Nightmare: Horfak, along with his associate Dirlin, was just a prospector looking for some gold. Then he unearthed the portal, crossed the treshold and became the fearsome, zombie-hiring warlord bent on world domination he is now. | |

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: If you encounter the giant ape and try to reason with it, your crude attemtps to dialogue are rewarded with a flowery speech from the big ape itself, funnily enough. | |

Enemy Civil War: On your way south you may run into a small army of Troglodytes fighting some Goblins near their sacred idol, and you can choose to join the fray. Unfortunately, the Goblins won't be so grateful for your effort. | |

Overly-Long Tongue: The Stegocephalian have an excessively long tongue covered in sticky slime, which it will use to ambush you forcing you to fight with your skill reduced. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
Portal of Evil / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: Two notable examples: The Elven Warrior on the coracle leading to the Wizard's island: you don't even see the stats of your opponent,but as you slash at him, you get wounded while he heals with each strike. Once you're too wounded, he will apologize and leave the boat to take his place, hoping that someone else will come across and repeat the process. When you're thrown to the T-Rex, you don't even get the chance of fighting it, you're just roughed up by the beast and, if you're still alive, you automatically leave through a crevice and make your getaway. | |
