   Paladin is an online role-playing door game. The object is to defeat
the evil that has come over the land, and become a Master Warrior. You
fight creatures mutated by the evil in the Old Forest to gain
experience and gold, and at the end of each level you'll battle a
"boss." With your earnings, you'll be able to buy stronger weapons and
armour. Or, if you wish, you can spend it on other things, such as magic
spells, rooms at the Green Dragon Inn, upgrading or building a base to
protect you, or if you're the frugal type you can put it in the bank to
save for something bigger. Here is a breakdown of the menus:

MAIN MENU

      hitpoints. You will get 5 hitpoints back with each potion used.
