The Gaming Den

You stick at it all day and suffer no more ill effects. As they say, that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Snouter appreciates your help and at the end of the day hands over 5 Salacoins, (Record the 5 Salacoins on your Adventure Sheet and gain 2 AMONOUR points.) He also offers you another...

You follow Snouter inside the hut, wondering how long you can hold your breath for. This is where Snouter and his younger brother Jowler undertake what is surely the most disgusting job in all of Salamonis. They process the rotting guts of dead pigs, fish and other odorousty decaying animals. Clear...

You follow the path north-west from the port in the direction of West Gate. Along the way you check with passers-by that you are heading in the right direction, but why does everyone laugh when they hear you are going to ”Snouter’s? When the wind changes direction, you realize why, The stench is ab...

Asking about learning wins out. Well, Salamonis is renowned throughout all Allansia for its ancient and extensive library, And, of course, a few leagues from here, in the Forest of Yore, Vermithrax Moonchaser has his school of magic, but I don’t think he's taking on any new apprentices at present. I...

I would suggest you visit the Adventurers’ Guild as soon as possible. The Guildmaster is a retired adventurer himself. He posts up any jobs that are going on a board outside the front entrance. However, you will want to make sure you keep far away from the King’s Tax Collector, Odious Pinchpenny. H...

Previous try: http://www.tgdmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=58100 Anybody want to try this one again? I think it's a good book, probably the best non-puffin. Last time round you got into trouble due to not picking up much Amanour and missing out on special skills. I think JourneymanNoob was a bit stin...

Well thanks anyway. I'd like to see a full playthrough sometime though, (I think it's the only main line book I've never read). Is it possible for whoever maintains the Let's Play list to put an asterisk on this one that it ended quickly, in case somebody else wants to run it again?

Higgly is trustworthy according to himself, which gives me "Honest John" car seller vibes. Vote for Gibbly

Subtractive Roman numerals have been used since Roman times, so any idea that something ending IX is the same as XI can't be right as it would be too ambiguous. You may be thinking of things like VIIII versus IX, with the former falling out of favour well after Arabic numerals were the main numberin...

I've read this book and I think JN was pretty over optimistic If s/he thought that it could be completed RAW, no rewinds. Although this one ended pretty early there are a few counterintuitive but necessary decisions later if you want to win. A couple spoilered here. You need to buy something expensi...

Watchman honesty.

Lets investigate the yelling, we might not get another chance. The blue-green smoke is something we can investigate from the island hub.

Stalls

Lets try our LUCK with a game of chance.

Aha, one I've never played.

Let's go for trade.

Yeah, I think Jackson made a mistake there. He set up the spell to have only one logical reading, but then put the 3 lines with numbers in the same order as they were received so people who don't actually think about it get through with just the order they wrote them down, even though the gate shoul...

So tumblers two sealed deep inside I bid you, portals, open wide One lock made out of Golem's hide By Courga's grace, and Fourga's pride Surely: So tumblers two sealed deep inside One lock made out of Golem's hide By Courga's grace, and Fourga's pride I bid you, portals, open wide Doesn't affect th...

Yes obey the guide.

I vote to keep the money, no drinkies.

when an adventurer like yourself could surely find your own way through the abandoned tunnels and mine workings?

That form of words seems to be clear shorthand for "you will die if you don't have a guide"

I vote to pay him, and not risk that we can negotiate.

I want to take the gold bracelet. It's explicitly worth less than the gems, and you can only take one, so why would you ever take the bracelet? Kind of trick a book writer might put in to hide a useful item. I'd also go for the rope and the potion but I don't really care about that.

Yeah, one choice seems as good as another here

Help with Earth please, (no particular reason, except I think Fire is too obvious)

Follow the storm.

As for name, how about Lisbeth Salander, the girl who plays with fire and has a dragon tattoo? (Ororo Salander, Lisbeth Munroe?)

Go to where the storm is worst.
