Utilizing Dark Dungeons, 9 Questions and the Labyrinth Lord solo play I created a male Amazon on the lam from his clan and working as a mercenary for a Greek warlord in Qadesh (southern Syria).
After fighting off some bandits who attacked a caravan within sight of the city I offered to go investigate where these bandits were organized.
I discovered their slave camp but was dispatched by the teen bandits and leader, only to wake up in a slave pen as giants attacked.
I barely got out and lost my weapons and armor in the deal. Borrowing a pike and horse from the armory I set off after them. It took me a week of wandering the hills and badlands of Syria but I managed tip take them out in a hard fight and capture their captain.
Unfortunately for me my late return saw a series of Qadesh where I was slain...
Overall I found it a bit difficult to use 9Qs, particularly because my characters wasn't a hero so much as a slightly dopey guy with an expensive sword.
I'd use this combination again but I think I might pick a thief or magic user for versatility. My character was a fighter with mediocre stats, which is fine except that a low Int and Cha really limited my effectiveness outside of punch ups (where I did well, but not amazingly).
