You smile and introduce yourself and Littlebig to Lo Lo Mai. She smiles back at you and says,

          ’Welcome warriors brave and bold
          Do you seek the dragon made of gold?’

If you want to reply ‘yes’, turn to 235. If you want to reply ‘no’, turn to 162.

Uh. It does not appear the dragon is in front of us so. Is she asking if we see the dragon (say no) or if we seek the dragon (say yes)?

[JourneymanN00b]

Ack! This is a serious typo that I have corrected. Sorry about that.

[Thaluikhain]

Yes.

Lo Lo Mai looks suddenly excited and says,

          ’The room of webs might seem bare
          But you’ll find a secret tunnel there
          Beyond the weapons fixed in stone
          The golden dragon stands alone.’

Without further ado, she walks over to the door opposite and opens it, gesturing for you to walk through it. Trusting her, you do as she bids. Turn to 396.



396
Lo Lo Mai stares at you intensely as you walk past her. The door opens into a corridor that goes straight on for as far as you can see. You soon come to two doors next to each other in the left-hand wall. The first door has a green square painted on it and the next one has a blue triangle painted on it. Will you:

     Open the door with the green square?       Turn to 141
     Open the door with the blue triangle?       Turn to 53
     Keep on walking along the corridor?       Turn to 70

Open the door with green square

[JourneymanN00b]

Vote registered; opening the door with the green square.

141
The door opens into a dark and dingy room that is covered from ceiling to floor in thick cobwebs. There doesn’t appear to be anything of interest in the room. If you want to cut through the cobwebs and search the room, turn to 257. If you want to leave the room, you may either open the door with the blue triangle (turn to 53) or walk on up the corridor (turn to 70).

[Queen of Swords]

Cut through the cobwebs and search.

[Beroli]

Cut through the cobwebs and search for a secret tunnel.

[Thaluikhain]

Search.

[JourneymanN00b]

Cutting through the cobwebs and searching the room received 3 votes, so Sinbad will do that to look for the secret tunnel.

257
While you are cutting through the cobwebs, a deadly black widow spider drops from the ceiling on to your back. Test your Luck. If you are Lucky, turn to 273. If you are Unlucky, turn to 384.



Rolling the dice yielded a 5, so Sinbad was Lucky.

273
Fortunately for you, Littlebig is standing near and sees the spider land on you. He quickly flicks it off your back and stamps on it with his large boot. ‘That would not have been funny,’ says Littlebig, serious for once. ‘Little insect, big bite!’ Watching each other’s back, you carry on your search of the room. Turn to 148.

148
At the back of the room you find a large wooden box set against the wall that was hidden from view by the cobwebs. Littlebig looks at it closely in case it has been set as a trap. ‘It doesn’t look like a trap to me,’ he says confidently. If you want to open the box, turn to 289. If you would rather move the box away from the wall, turn to 326.

Move the box.

[Queen of Swords]

Agreed.

[SGamerz]

I'm thinking the trap might be something concealed behind the box that will spring if we move it away. Littlebig examined the box, but I don't think he examined the wall. So I think the box itself is safe. I vote to just open the box.

[JourneymanN00b]

Votes counted; moving the box away from the wall won over opening the box by a 2-1 vote.

326
With Littlebig’s help, you move the heavy box aside to reveal a hole in the wall no more than a metre in diameter. ‘A tunnel!’ shouts Littlebig excitedly. ‘A secret tunnel! Come on, let’s crawl through it.’ If you want to crawl through the tunnel, turn to 405. If you would rather throw a stone down the tunnel first, turn to 31.

[Queen of Swords]

Throw a stone down, I guess.

[SGamerz]

And now we don't get to open the box. :/

Throw a stone, I guess.

[JourneymanN00b]

Votes recognized; throwing a stone down the tunnel first.

31
The stone clatters along the tunnel until it comes to rest somewhere out of sight. You listen carefully and hear the distant sound of a deep growl. Lose 1 LUCK point. ‘Whoever or whatever is at the end of the tunnel knows we are here now!’ says Littlebig somewhat apprehensively. You decide that you must crawl along the tunnel straight away and be ready for combat at any time. Turn to 405.

405
Littlebig sighs and says, ‘I suppose I had better go first, seeing as I am smaller than you.’ You watch him disappear into the dark tunnel on his hands and knees, and follow him after a few moments. Two minutes later, Littlebig calls back to tell you that he has come to the end of the tunnel and that it leads into a cavern. Then you hear him scream. You crawl as fast as you can until you reach the end of the tunnel. Without stopping, you stand up and find yourself in a small cavern with rough, sandstone walls. Expecting to see Littlebig locked in combat with some fearsome creature, you are not prepared for what you do see. Running to attack you are two identical dwarves, both the exact likeness of Littlebig. One of them must surely be a Doppelgänger that has turned itself into a duplicate of Littlebig and used mind control to force him to attack. But which one is the Doppelgänger and which one is the real Littlebig? You have seconds to decide before they are upon you. If you want to fight the Littlebig to your left, turn to 97. If you want to fight the Littlebig to your right, turn to 360.

The left one is the cause of trouble, attack it.

[JourneymanN00b]

Vote acknowledged; fighting the Littlebig to the left.

97


Convinced that the dwarf you are about to fight is not Littlebig but a Doppelgänger imitating him, you wield your sword in a frenzied attack. Suddenly the dwarf starts to metamorphose into a hideous creature some two metres tall with large scarlet scales covering its massive chest and an oversized, pulsating skull. Its eyes are large and red-veined, and its mouth is small but crammed with long needle-like fangs. There is no doubting who the DOPPELGÄNGER is now.

DOPPELGÄNGER       SKILL 10       STAMINA 10

During each Attack Round you must reduce your SKILL by 2 as you must use all your mental strength to fight the mental powers of the creature. Meanwhile, Littlebig manages to break free from the Doppelgänger’s mind control but is too exhausted and drained to help you in combat. If you win, turn to 60.

The fight:
Round 1: Doppelgänger Attack Strength: 20, Player Attack Strength: 19;
Doppelgänger Stamina: 10, Player Stamina: 13
Round 2: Doppelgänger Attack Strength: 15, Player Attack Strength: 20;
Doppelgänger Stamina: 8, Player Stamina: 13
Round 3: Doppelgänger Attack Strength: 17, Player Attack Strength: 21;
Doppelgänger Stamina: 6, Player Stamina: 13
Round 4: Doppelgänger Attack Strength: 18, Player Attack Strength: 21;
Doppelgänger Stamina: 4, Player Stamina: 13
Round 5: Doppelgänger Attack Strength: 17, Player Attack Strength: 20;
Doppelgänger Stamina: 2, Player Stamina: 13
Round 6: Doppelgänger Attack Strength: 13, Player Attack Strength: 17;
Doppelgänger Stamina: 0, Player Stamina: 13

Fortunately for Sinbad, the Doppelgänger only deals 2 STAMINA points worth of damage before falling to his sword.

60
Breathing heavily, and soaked with perspiration, you slump down on the floor next to Littlebig. His face is still vacant-looking after his trauma, but after a drink of water and some warm words of encouragement from you, he slowly returns to his old self. ‘I can’t believe that creature could force me to attack you,’ he says, shaking his head, ‘and how did it manage to change itself into another me?’ While you are listening to Littlebig, you notice another small tunnel entrance in the wall opposite. If you want to continue your quest and crawl through the new tunnel, turn to 233. If you would rather search the cavern first, turn to 364.
