Armado Users Manual

USERS MANUAL STORY Assume the role of Armado the armadillo and embark upon a great adventure to free the Queen of the land. The Queen is a Great Eagle, the last of an ancient race. While on a journey to visit the Queen, Armado learned of a growing darkness from the South; armies of giant ants marching Northward. They moved slowly at first, but eventually overwhelmed and colonized the legendary eagle nests in the mountains. Soon, the Queen herself was captured, and imprisoned. Just as Armado bowed his head and turned for home, he noticed an old fox. The fox was dressed in old tattered robes and told Armado that the Queen herself had foretold that he would meet a great hero at this very spot. Armado did not think for a moment that meant him. Then the fox handed him a satchel filled with magical eggs, and told Armado that one by one they must be placed into the ancient nests. Before Armado could speak the fox was gone in a puff of blue smoke. And so began Armado's quest to help free the Queen. OBJECTIVE Armado must travel south to find the eagle nests of which the fox has spoken. The ancient nests sit atop majestic mountains, and only when he arrives at each mountain does his task begin. He must place each of the magical eggs he carries into their nest. The eggs he carry are magical, but their magic is fading, so he must be steadfast. To get the eggs to their nest, Armado must run, roll, and jump his way up along the mountain’s old paths that are now swarming with ants and other dangerous obstacles. His tools are his wits, agility, and armored shell that he’s learned to use as a weapon. To make matters even more difficult, after he puts the eggs into their nest he must make is way back down the mountain to continue his quest. The final nest sits atop a mountain that lies deep within the fiery lands of the south, and there the Queen herself is being held prisoner. Once all the eggs are in their nests it’s said the Queen will become empowered with the old magic of the land, and finally break free from her prison. What happens then nobody knows for sure.
