Eighth book in the Super Endless Quest series.
The player controls Jerrak Kimbal, a warrior on a quest to retrieve a magical gemstone stolen by a witch who apparently ate his grandfather and all his servants in the process. Unfortunately for him, that witch was the legendary Baba Yaga, and getting one over on her will be a job and a half...
Nightmare Realm of Baba Yaga provides examples of:
- Anti-Magic: Jerrak wields a sword named Starlight, which has the power to cancel magic effects if he can make the required saving throw (meaning part of his skill point allotment goes into figuring out how powerful the sword is).
- Bigger on the Inside: Baba Yaga's hut is basically a pocket dimension with different worlds inside the player will have to contend with.
- Black Swords Are Better: The coloration of Jerrak's magic sword is all-black.
- Everybody Lives: Jerrak thought Baba Yaga ate his grandfather and all his servants in the process of stealing the Sage Beryl. If he gets to the good ending, it turns out the wizard in the gemstone actually transported them all inside, and returns them safe and sound.
- Mineral MacGuffin: The Sage Beryl, which houses the spirit of an ancient wizard.
- Mooks, but no Bosses: The book makes it clear Jerrak wouldn't have a prayer of winning a fight with Baba Yaga, so the book's about fighting some of her minions, getting what you're after and getting the hell out.
- Named Weapon: Jerrak's magic sword, Starlight.
- Public Domain Character: Baba Yaga, classic antagonist of Slavic folklore, is the player's enemy, complete with chicken-legged hut and a perimeter of magic skulls with fiery eyes.
- Relationship Values: Kind of a strange example, but the book includes a score called "Judgement Points". This measures what Baba Yaga thinks of the character, and which goes down if they make stupid decisions. It determines a saving throw on how much hell she puts Jerrak through before deciding if she'll give him back the gem and kick him out of the hut.
- Sticky Fingers: Jerrak's dwarven sidekick, Mjolnir, is brought along for his skills as a thief. This does mean Jerrak has to keep him from stealing sometimes, to avoid pissing her off.
