Since Shaggy did not visit the lighthouse itself, I will allow voting to return to it. Since everyone voted to do that, he will head there by going to paragraph 333.
Upon arrival, he arrives at the lighthouse and decides to enter it by turning to paragraph 299, as he obviously has no wish to return to the wreck, and I assume you guys do not want to leave the area yet.
299
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
You peer through the open door into the circular room at the base of the lighthouse. Fortunately, just enough light is filtering down from the dome into the gloom to make general outlines just visible. Simple, plain stone steps cut in a spiral staircase lead upwards, while a wooden trapdoor shows that there is something below ground level. There is also a repulsive monster slobbering and drooling in the half-dark here! It looks like an obese, slime-dribbling giant maggot with several sets of human arms protruding from its segmented body, and its head has the vestiges of human features. With a vile shudder the Slimeworm expels a great gobbet of evil-smelling muck at you; then it squirms towards you, lunging with its surprisingly hard nails outstretched and extending the suckered, bony plates of its slobbering mouth. You may be able to evade combat here; will you:
Attack the Slimeworm? Turn to 29
Try to dodge the monster and run up the stairs? Turn to 228
Run away and descend to the wreck? Turn to 291
Run away and find somewhere else to visit? Turn to 70
For continuity purposes, descending to the wreck is not available, as Shaggy has no interest in returning there. Please make your votes before 6:00 PM PST to ensure that they will be counted.
