The Gaming Den

Can't we cheat and preview all the paragraphs/info? :D I'm gonna say 'no' to this. This is similar to most shopping lists in FF gambooks, except that for items, you wouldn't know they're essential quest items until the books ask if you have them. For this case, reading ahead will immediately tell y...

We chat up the sexy old man. You are wondering what to say, but the Sage talks freely of his own accord. Mostly he goes on about how mean the Count is, and how he - the Sage - needs more money for books. You realize that you're going to have to pay for information, and it isn't going to come cheap. ...

If we buy 2, it's unlikely we'll have enough gold to buy anything from the EVIL shop. But then, since the book explicitly tells us we can buy up to 4, it'll probably be useful on more than one occasion. Buy 2, I guess. And looks like we've lost the opprtunity to look for work and earn some gold. Ent...

I mean, seriously, the count must be wondering what that racket from downstairs is. "Igor! What's all this racket downstairs?: "Sir, apparently there's some psycho in the castle, and he just went into the dining room and cut up your favourite rug!" You open the door and enter a shrin...

Go buy the plot token in the emporium.

Explore.

Hmmm....that does sound more fitting. Ismater first, then.

We go back to our 'leave no door unravished' policy.... This door has a silvered lock. Do you have a Silver Key? If you have, turn to the paragraph whose number is the same as the number on the key. If you haven't, you can't opne this door. You can either go back and open the west door in the corrid...

The way I read it, we should go NNW to get some stuff from the Frost Giants before going to Ismater, so NNW first.

Besides, the road sign could have been deliberately shifted to point in the wrong direction.

I'm rather surprised by the choices here, not only do we spare the Zombies, but we're actually passing up the opportunity to restock FOOD (which we've been consuming at a rather rapid pace recently) from the kitchen! We leave the kitchen and take the west door: http://i.imgur.com/Bdf82F7.png You ope...

No hero would ever miss the opportunity to get a piece of wood.

Take the twig.

Help the Dark Elf. We need the exposition that we missed from the last murdered elf.

http://i.imgur.com/xUjoCVL.png You push open the door and come upon a scene of domestic homeliness - a cook and two servants at worktables preparing food. However, there is an unpleasant smell mixed with that of the food: a vile rotting smell which catches at the back of your throat. The workers lo...

Not with seasickness we don't.

I'm chowing down a meal while we search as a precaution: STAMINA up to 18. You start to look around for secret alcoves, trapdoors and the like - and you tum your back on the girl. She rises from her resting place and you are about to get a very nasty surprise. Although the text makes it look like se...

I KNEW IT!

Don't take the hint. The book will probably laugh at us for being seasick and give us more Shame.

Blade has a fetish for thrusting his blade at undead stuff. (With living humans he prefers to use his tongue). You get a free hit at the Ghoul as it cowers away from you, but after you hit, it fights back! Turn to 70 to fight, and you may subtract 2 from the STAMINA total given there for this monste...

I suspect trying another day is a time-wasting trap. Look for a place instead.

We are loaded with meals, so we eat one to get our STAMINA back to 16. You open the door and gaze into a low-ceilinged room with some narrow stone steps visible on the other side. Bones and horrifying, bloodied lumps of flesh and gristle lie around the room, and the occupant - a huge Ghoul - intends...

Look for person, I guess.

• Or do you feel too weakened by the voyage to risk a fight before Crete? Oh dear, this is where we might get a penalty for fighting despite our seasickness, right? Bah, fight anyway. This seems to be a standard traditional heroic quest (kill evil guy to set holy place free), it wouldn't feel fight...

After all this time, Blade finally gives in to the irresistible urge to stick his blade into something! Do you have a Magic Sword? Not only that, but he's got a mighty blade that shines! You are able to strike at the cowering Wraith before it can attack you. Turn to 200 and deduct 2 points of STAMIN...

Agreed, Apollo's island. Besides, prophecies are always accurate in mythology, so we'll probably get some useful/informative exposition there either way.

Blade is as talkative as ever. And as promised earlier, this is the picture of guy we're trying to talk to: http://i.imgur.com/azwyYXI.png And yes, I said "trying to talk to", because it looks like he might not listen: Roll one die. If the number rolled is 1, turn to 151. lf the number rol...

This sounds a lot like a dilemma in an earlier LP . And there the optimal choice was to leave. Actually, not quite true (assuming you are referring to Bennet's murder scene). If looting was your very first option, then you could have looted the drawers for some very useful gold as well as an offici...
