The Fortress of the Black Cauldron	comment	The Adventures of the Pyro-Barbarian and Billy in the Forteress of the Black Cauldron is the first volume of The Saga Of Billy, a series of Sword and Sorcery gamebooks written by Bob Lennon and David Kuhn and illustrated by C.Sideralis. It was released in 2021.After witnessing the death of everyone in your hometown, wiped out by a plague, you decide to leave the farming life behind you and go live the same kind of adventurous existence your grandfather led before retiring in the middle of nowhere to plant pumpkins.With the the bottomless bag your mentor left you and the help of one of his old acquaintances, a hot-blooded barbarian, it's up to you to save the kingdom (and yourself) from the terrible Virilus.

If you go back to adventuring, you must stay light, and gold will only weigh you down. If you go back to your life in Plant-Pumpkin, you don't need that much money to begin with. If you become a Gentleman Thief, you can just amass just as much as you currently have in a few days. After all, being a rich man wasn't your goal anyway. So no matter how rich you become over the course of the book, you will do whatever you can to be as poor as you were at the beginning. If you are wealthy, you party until you lose everything, and if you simply have to much to spend, you will use it to rebuild Lennonia and make a statue of Hard-Tooth-Uther.

He is responsible for the torture and murder of many innocents, and he has imprisoned a vampiress (one of the most dangerous creatures in this world), feeding on the power of her tainted blood. When he sees you and the PB, who warned you of the threat his curses represents, he starts an intimidating ritual dance and throws a small duel effigy at you... If you are a warrior, you catch the effigy and send it back to him, breaking his nose before ending him. The barbarian commands you for such a quick duel. If you are a farmer, the effigy just bounces of your brow, and when his chants and his dance start to irritate you, you just walk up to him and break his neck. The barbarian laughs and explain you what the shaman wanted to do. If you are cautious, you focus on the effigy that fell on the ground and understand what it is. While you are occupied, he tries to rush you, but slips in a puddle of blood and impales himself on the ornamentation. The barbarian congratulates you on your technique, impressed that you managed to kill your enemy without even touching him. If you are resourceful, you wait for a dance move which leaves him defenseless and kill him immediately. The barbarian is disappointed that you attacked him without letting him finish his presentation.

The Fortress of the Black Cauldron / int_9c45b5a2	comment	What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Defied throughout most of the story, as you and the P.B. show just as much violence towards humans as you do towards non-humans. Centaur, elves and orcs can also live within the human population despite being creatures of Vetherr, the Enemy of Man, as they are not necessarily bad people at heart (although they are sometimes subjected to racism). The only reason why you kill more non-humans is because Virilus' army is full of them. There are however two races that are shown to truly be Always Chaotic Evil are the dark elves and the archnauresses, who will both gladly torture and devour anything that crosses there path, be it monster or man. It is Justified if Solia kills you as the PB will not lead an extermination of the entire non-human population of Alkior because he thinks it is fair, but because he will see it as the only way to repay his debt. Nevertheless, he will play this trope straight with goblins, following the kränelorian tradition of despising them and killing as many of them as he possibly can.

The Fortress of the Black Cauldron / int_e567510d	type	Determinator
The Fortress of the Black Cauldron / int_e567510d	comment	Determinator: After losing his entire army thanks to the efforts of Hard-Tooth-Uther, losing the favor of Vetherr, and being almost killed, Virilus could still muster the strength and the will to climb the highest peak in existence before facing the best warrior among the gods Erenner. Even after being forced to leave by Zarkan, he reformed his army with the objective to destroy the gods themselves. If you stop the ritual and thwart his plans once again, he will still keep on fighting you and the PB, no matter how wounded he already is. Even after her whole group has beenexterminated and devoured by Mortelle, Solia comes back to fight the arachnauress. When Virilus disarms the PB and defenestrates him, your friend just grabs onto something and comes back for more.

The Fortress of the Black Cauldron / int_e70127	comment	The Mole: Most of the street guards of Lennonia have been bought by Funeste, which allows the forces of Virilus to quickly seize the city. You and the P.B. can also pretend to be part of the dark lord's army to approch him more easily.

In all of the normal endings, having saved Lennonia and Erenner, you spend all of your money and then go back to adventuring. If you don't the PB will go on his own.

Should you defect from Erenner's side, the monsters you will befriend will forever be thankful for teaching them to read a few words and count up to twenty. Your skills for mathematics will earn their eternal admiration, and they will remember you fondly long after your death.
