Drake. For it was Drake who
defeated the Shadowking and
raised Stonekeep back from the
depths of the earth itself.
Unless you help, this happy
ending may not come to pass.
one above all
Stonekeep is the second part of this legend. Thera’s
Awakening, the novella included in this package, is the first
part and you should read it for background. Reading
Thera’s Awakening is not necessary to help Drake in his
quest, but Stonekeep will be more enjoyable if you do.
Thank you for purchasing Stonekeep! It’s been a long
road and we hope that you enjoy playing it as much as we
enjoyed bringing it to you.

You can pick up items you find by moving the
cursor until it turns into a
item. When you left click once, the cursor changes
into the active item. You can throw an active item by
moving it towards the top of the screen and clicking a
mouse button. The higher up the item when you click, the
harder Drake throws the item. Low to the ground, Drake
will place the active item on the floor instead.
Drake has a Magick Scroll that holds your
inventory items. To open the scroll, move the
mouse cursor to the right side of the screen. When

You can remove items from the SCROLL by using the
grab hand. As you add more items to the
it changes length to accommodate the new items. At some
point, you will need to scroll the
items. To move to the top or bottom of your inventory,
use the top or bottom of the
scroll as long as you hold the mouse button down or until
you run out of items. The right mouse button scrolls faster
than the left mouse button.
When you grab items, the right mouse button will
automatically add the active item to your inventory. It will try
to add the item to an appropriate container (like an arrow
to a quiver, or a rock to a bag of rocks); if it cannot do
that, it will search for identical items, and if that fails, it
will drop the new item at the top of your inventory. The
left mouse button will just open your inventory for you. The
middle mouse button (or the left and right buttons at the
same time) will make the item active.
