Votes registered; asking if Lixx can hire him to row our hero to Hamelin. 257 The old man relaxes and says, ‘Hamelin is far too far away for me to row to. In the old days, I used to run a ferry service across an underground river inside Firetop Mountain, but people stopped coming. I’ve retired now, ...

Votes acknowledged; talking to the old man. 215 You cough loudly to wake up the old man, who leaps up, looking startled. He grabs an oar and tells you not to come any closer. Will you: [spacer]Ask if you can hire him to row you to Hamelin? [spacer] Turn to 257 [spacer]Draw your sword? [spacer] Turn ...

Votes registered; letting Higgly try on the crown. 166 ‘Fortune favours the brave,’ Higgly says cheerfully as he places the crown on his head.

Votes acknowledged; pressing the emerald eye. 327 You hear a faint click when you press the emerald eye and watch the lid slowly lift open like a huge mouth.

Reaching into the hole already received 3 votes, so Lixx will do that. 12 You tentatively slide your arm into the hole and are excited when your fingers touch what feels like several coins.

Votes recognized; putting 1 Gold Piece in her money box. 112 Mary closes her eyes and begins to stroke her cat very gently as she recites a short rhyme in a barely audible whisper: [spacer] The eyes of the dragon [spacer] Are the gems on its head [spacer] Green is life [spacer] And red is dead She o...

Votes registered; visiting the soothsayer. 247 https://i.imgur.com/bN4ChK4.png She points at a small ceramic money box Higgly leads you through the back streets of Anvil before turning down a narrow alleyway.

Okay, so I registered your votes to accept the challenge and to name our adventurer Lixx, who I will assume to be male in gender. 311 You sit down opposite the Dwarf, who shakes your hand, grinning confidently. He tries to crush your fingers, but you give as good as you get. A crowd quickly gathers ...

Alright, so it looks like our adventurer will buy the Fire Sword for 15 Gold Pieces. I will leave name voting open until tonight in order to take in any upcoming suggestions. 297 Amaric thanks you for buying the sword and says, ‘I think you will be very happy with your choice.’ He gives you a shiny ...

Since nobody voted, I will have our adventurer take the Potion of Skill and ask him if he knows Dunbar Lapp. I will leave name voting open for now. 84 The armourer puts down his wooden club. ‘Dunbar Lapp, you say. No, never heard of him. Why?’ You explain that Dunbar Lapp brought you to his shop to ...

Votes registered; stepping out on to the bridge with the intention of approaching the shivering man. 112 You are about to step on to the bridge when you see the flickering torchlight glint from the blade of a knife in the man’s hand. ‘Stay away!’ he shouts as he takes the knife to one of the ropes h...

Votes recognized; setting off after the Jib-Jib. 261 You soon lose sight of the running Jib-Jib, and it has stopped howling, so you have no idea where it has gone. Turn to 85. 85 Eventually the tunnel curves around and joins up with another – probably the one from the other branch you didn’t take. T...

Votes acknowledged; following the leftist way once again. 241 As you hurry along the tunnel, you do not hear the footsteps again ahead of you, but as you enter a rough-hewn, circular chamber, your torch illuminates something sitting on the ground. It looks like a ball of messy white fur, no bigger t...

Votes registered; following the passageway to see where it leads. 182 You follow the sound of footsteps along the tunnel but without managing to catch with whoever is making them. And then the tunnel branches once more, but now you cannot hear any footsteps at all. Will you: [spacer]Take the left-ha...

Entering the right hand tunnel has at least 3 existing votes, so Lee Miles will do this. 394 https://i.imgur.com/UpLB02g.png The polished shell of a huge, grub-like head As you proceed further along the tunnel, and head deeper underground, you notice that the walls appear less chiselled and more … c...

Votes registered; turning to socialism over Nazism. 395 You descend still further, as the tunnel corkscrews down through solid rock, until you finally arrive at a rough-hewn circular chamber. Leading off from it are two tunnels, but you notice that some strange markings have been chiselled into the ...

Votes tallied; going the communist way won over taking the fascist way by a 2.5-1 vote. 109 As you proceed along the left-hand branch, it begins to slope downwards. Water drips from the ceiling to pool on the uneven rock floor of the tunnel. Rather than being lit by regularly spaced lanterns, burnin...

Votes registered; entering the mine. 441 The main tunnel into the silver mine is broad and tall and shored up with solid supports. It is very well made, and you feel safe as you head underground. You do not need a source of illumination either, since flickering lanterns are positioned at regular int...

Thank you for voting. I will break the 2-2 tie by having Lee Miles answer ‘Yes’. 313 ‘That’s a relief,’ the Half-Ogre replies. ‘They’ve shut down production in the western galleries and none of the miners want to work those sections while they’re still down there.’ You ask the Half-Ogre foreman what...

Votes acknowledged; setting off south towards the silver mines. 273 The mines do not lie too far from Salamonis, in the hills that form the southern border of Trolltooth Pass.

Votes recognized; inspecting the scene of the attack. 236 Tanner Hyde and two other villagers accompany you to the place at the western end of Trolltooth Pass.
