Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantazine Adventure #2 - Shrine of the Salamander

It would actually be a pretty novel insta-fail ending to feature the PC being discovered in enemy territory and killed because he just couldn't bring himself to leave the kitchen after being helplessly addicted to a certain cuisine dish.Mutton Fish are huge fish that live upstream in Lake Lumle, with flesh so tasty and tender that those who eat it soon become hopelessly addicted to its flavour. In your case, there are other practicalities to consider, such as finding the Idol of Verlang and escaping from the Croaking Caves. So, you manage to stave off a crippling Mutton Fish addiction and can restore 2 STAMINA points instead. Return to 73 and make another choice.
Do we want to try any of the other food? Or move on?
Adventure Sheet:A bowl of Whortle Soup
A bag of Vittles
A plate of Gloister and bread
A haunch of Mutton Fish
Or will you leave this area?

Notes:
1) Anyone entering the maze of tunnels that forms the Crystal Mine itself, must first turn left and then travel in a clockwise direction if they wish to remain safe.
2) The Horntoads' favourite food is the humble bee. If in future we find ourselves in the presence of a beehive and wish to try and catch some, deduct twenty to the paragraph number we have turned to, and consult this new paragraph number instead.
3) Xak may be the name of the Croaking Caves Salamander? If in future we have the chance to speak the name Xak, add twenty to the paragraph number we have turned to, and consult this new paragraph number instead.
4) Zared the sage dwells in a cavern full of giant fungi. If in future we find ourselves in such a place and wish to contact Zared, add fifty to the paragraph number we are on at the time, and consult this new paragraph number instead.
5) Caught a Wasting Disease - must lose 1 STAMINA every time we are involved in combat, whether we win or flee from it.
