Not much was changed. ....A few more adversaries and one or two minor nitpicks.) Author : Richard Dale Carlson Email Address : rcarlson@citilink.com Other Wads By RDC : Grendel, Big Red, Last Hope, WizWars, Fiendish, Archmage, Demon13, (Dark) Citadel 2 Level Background/Notes : This level was inspired by characters/mood of the second series of Amber novels by (Also, see Mission Roger Zelazny***. Info, below....) Mandor is (or was) a magician of noble blood, who's bizarre mansion is located somewhere in Chaos. His hobbies include gourmet cooking enchantments and "sphere magic". (He uses various orbs and spheres the way traditional wizards would use a wand or staff.) Although quite refined and honorable, Mandor's rep- utation is that of a dangerously capable sorceror. His weird, labyrinthian abode is said to contain countless treasures in vast galleries, constructed in such a way as to be unfathomable by mortal minds.... I tried to imagine what one of Mandor's "dungeons" might be like. Sorry, Mandor himself does not put in an appearance (This time....). I'm saving him, The Logrus & Ghostwheel for QUAKE. (The Logrus is next.... Gotta build with QUAKE to do those cool Logrus fx! If you don't now what I'm talking about, put down that joystick and READ the Amber novels!)
