Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

Looks like we're likely to be able to ask all our questions. I'm good with asking about the injured officer next. Presuming it gives us the option to ask about survivors or stop asking questions, I'm in favor of continuing to ask questions until we have asked everything and no longer have that option.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

With that nasty poison ans fighting two at a time I would probably have used our potion of +3 Str and +5 Stamina, but glad that we survived.

We can ask about the Nimbus first. Hopefully we'll be able to ask all our questions.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

Agree, hoping going up the steps means we get to abandon our extremely vulnerable Bathysphere. :)

Re: Stupid NY politics

I think Brain Chips are generally a bad idea, but I guess a quadriplegic was able to play Civ VI all night.

Article So in very limited cases, not all bad???

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

What is our skill with the Bathysphere currently? Without testing our luck we need to win 4 times to reduce to 10 stamina; if we successfully test our luck each time we need to win 3 times (the 3rd time with a normal success). From the description on page 1 of testing luck it appears we can do it af...

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

Well if we fight anyone stronger than us, I vote we use the Potion of Power. But hoping it doesn't come to that.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

Definitely prefer to pay him off with food. No need to give more than necessary. Recommend we give the Dried Cuttlefish and the Dried Fish. I don't think we'll need to repair another balloon, but if for some reason we end up back there without the silk, might as well save it.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

We have the codeword. That seems like a good thing. I vote we turn to page 112.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

I would prefer not to fight. If we end up in combat, recommend testing luck to reduce damage whenever we get hit.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

There's probably danger and damage everywhere so it may not matter where we go so I'd like to go Left.

I assume we can't use a Fire Oil if we're fighting in the Bathysphere? If we can I recommend we do against our next opponent.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

It's quite likely that there are some more 'automatic damage' situations we might come across, but it's also possible that we can explore the partially submerged cave and/or work on repairs if we survive the fight. I suggest we don't test our luck with stamina 6; hopefully we win the next round; if ...

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

I think we're going to need more in our toolbox to solve this problem, so I think checking out the caves might be worthwhile. Vote for caves.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

In my heart, I want to dive, but I think Icarus would hope to find his comrades alive on the surface. I vote to explore the surface.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

I'll amend my vote to consume crab meat and dried fruit and save the healing potion for now. I expect some of these stamina items may have additional uses (like the cabbage leaves) but I suspect the healing potions don't have any other uses, but this world is weird enough that I'm not totally confid...

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

Quick question - I assume that we went to the right page (315), but it sorta looks like we went to page 29: [spacer]If you have the codeword Eye-Spy on your Adventure Sheet, turn to 29. If you do not have the codeword on your Adventure Sheet, turn to 315. Icarus Morningstar does not have the codewor...

Re: Some Tome Questions

I think if you have an ability that modifies your prepared spells, but you don't have any prepared spells, that ability doesn't do anything for you. Edit - I think you're referring to the magi sphere. Technically, they're all 'magic' spheres, so for story reasons if you gave your BBEG access to a di...

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

Recommend consuming 1 cabbage leaf (+2 stamina).

In this case I like the idea of quietly going to the back of the house and looking for another way in.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

It may be a bad idea, but I like watching train wrecks. I vote for letting him charge the metal boulder and seeing what happens.
