Why's the mummy got to be cursed? No one ever talks about a blessed mummy or even an inert mummy. Always cursed. Every one of them. How the hell were the people who owned those bodies supposed to use them in paradise?

I know it's a hateful stereotype but it probably relates to a perceived taboo about jostling corpses associated with powerful Egyptian gods.

It's at the end of the tech tree in Civ6 I think and it certainly doesn't apply to this game or any game made by Herman Skull.

I managed to dig up an ancient computer adaptation of The Cursed Mummy and I'm trying to get it to emulate properly and upload it tonight because I love you. Stay tuned

also I think grabbing an arm is a good move, I'll have that card ready to look at with the next update.

Thanks for waiting! The last page, completed:



To get to the expansion (and not piss off Hardmod) we gotta let him get a good night's sleep. Turning to 4:



So our ESSENCE is restored, we can take whatever limbs and bits we want from the bucket, but first let's play the expansion, The Curse of the Cursed Mummy!

Unfortunately the little booklet I used to have has been destroyed by time - it's made of the same garbage paper as everything else Herman Skull makes. However, I did find an ancient PC adaptation that could only be found on a misprint early run of those AOL CDs everyone used to get, and also hidden away on some of those 1001 shareware title compilations in a non-visible folder under the Accountancy Software sections. I've been working on getting it running on modern PCs and I think I may just have managed! PC only, sorry:

Download it here: https://goo.gl/Vfwm05

Unzip and and run CURSE.EXE

I'd be interested to know how your mini-adventure winds up. It gives us +1 FIST whenever we necromance, which is an early example of pay to win.

Anyway, what limb(s) do we want, and with the Lich coming back what's the next move? We can ask him at least one question or demand one thing off him before things kick off again.

I kinda wanna take one of the monstrous arms, but I think that messes up our Union membership
I THINK we get one of the better endings if we can somehow maintain good standing in the Union, but it's hard to do. Or we get one of the worst endings, I can't remember.

Anyways, new torso and arm are in order.
Take the Sword Arm and any nonshitty torso.

You might be thinking of a different series. These are the dwarves in this neck of the woods (from the Sword of the Bastard Elf Bestiary):



Most of them are pacifists or at least not big on weapons.

My ending was... well, every page, every ending. All of them. It took a little while. It's how I always did CYOA books when I was a kid, reading through and putting bookmarks in at every decision and going back to the last fork I was at once I get an ending and bouncing backwards then going forwards again untill I had read everything. Because why would you not read the whole book? Basically the same technique for Curse of the Cursed Mummy, just a lot more restarting and clicking through everything over and over. It was a really fun adventure, well done to, umm, Mr. Skull, and of course SIB for assembling it into a running program!

As for parts, we definately need a new arm, since we are missing one right now, so pretty much just go for the coolest one in the pile. If there is an arm with a six fingered hand in there, that could be handy later. Also keep the barrel chest it is cool, gives us a mobile hiding spot, and lets us carry an extra item!

We might want to ask Hardmod about the tower, but someone probably has a better idea then that.

hi how are you

Here's what's on the docket for now:

Regular torso
Sword Arm
Non-IP-Infringing Fused-Rib Sea-Marine Torso
Dwarven Hand Cannon
Monkey Paw
Six-Fingered Hand
Tuxedo Torso
Crab Hand
Gorilla Hand
Constant j/o action hand

We'll narrow it down later but they're all great choices. It's ok to stop being decrepit too, the game sort of expects you not to be so slovenly by this point and we've already blown the "don't raise or harvest anything" ending.

E: I assume we're still staying Union for the time being?

I believe you can find an item called Herman's Skull in the book; but it is hidden away in a really awkward to get to number. I think it's only accessible with the Ten Foot Necromantic Pole
