achtungnight posted:Walk on the ocean, step on the stones... Castle Death posted:The relief is instantaneous. Quickly you move from one stone to the next until you arrive at the shadowy opening in the wall. Echoing in the darkness, you hear the rustle and slither of unseen things. Suddenly something round and black breaks through the surface of the lake, splitting the night with its hideous cry. It hovers for a few seconds above the water before hurtling towards you at an unnerving speed.

I have a bow. I sweep the sky with it. Sorry goons, Bayek’s line from Assassins’ Creed Origins is too badass IMO not to use.

Castle Death posted:Only the faint green light of the power-shield illuminates your moving target. You notch an Arrow and take careful aim as it speeds up the beach, weaving in and out of the boulders that litter its path. With weaponmastery and the silver bow we had only a 10% chance of missing that shot. We now have four arrows remaining.

Comstar posted:Check the door Castle Death posted:At first glance, the door looks completely smooth: no locks, bars, rivets, or hinges mar its polished surface. However, a closer examination reveals a tiny keyhole set near to the floor. The door requires a gold key, which we might have acquired had we gone to the bay instead of the jetty. This book is pretty convoluted so it's quite easy to get here without the key or get the key and then never see the door. I've played it a ton and I'm not even sure what the best path is.

Jump over it. If we act like Mario enough, perhaps we’ll learn the Lorestone is in another castle not known as Castle Death.

Mikl posted:Sure, poke it, what can go wrong? Castle Death posted:No matter how hard you prod the slab it shows no sign of movement, but your probing does uncover something previously hidden beneath the dust. Carefully you scrape away the grime until the outline of a coiled snake is revealed, etched deep into the dull grey marble. Carved in the centre of its scaly coils is the number 123. Make a note of this number in the margin of your Action Chart—it could be of use at a later stage of your adventure. Tiggum fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Jan 6, 2018 |

Castle Death posted:You clear the slab with one bound and press on along the winding tunnel. A warm, damp wind whistles along the rough-walled passage, carrying with it a rancid smell of sulphur and decay. For over an hour you walk down the tunnel, leaping over fissures in the uneven floor and taking care not to tread on glistening blue-black worms that slither away into cracks in the rock when your light invades their damp, dark world.

Take a look at the skeleton. It could still present the signs of whatever killed him.

Castle Death posted:You recognize the dead man’s hauberk as that of a Kakushi mercenary: the ten-pointed star of Nikesa, the symbol of that country’s capital city, adorns each of the rusty buckles that fasten his chainmail armour. In a leather pouch hanging from his belt you discover 6 Gold Crowns, and inside the tattered remains of his backpack, there is a Rope and a hooded Red Robe.
We now have 30 Gold Crowns.

"Always take a Rope if you don't have a Rope" should be Rule 1 of these books. Take the Robe as well, the Pretend To Be An Evil Cultist possibilities are too obvious to overlook. Go through the trapdoor, it seems to work.

Castle Death posted:The cloying smell of damp and decay grows steadily stronger, and you are forced to cover your nose with your cloak to block out the sickly stench. The tunnel twists to the right, and you notice a small iron door set into the wall ahead and a narrow staircase descending into the gloom.

Mikl posted:Door. Castle Death posted:The door is locked, but the mechanism is so rusted that it crumbles under the slightest pressure. Inside is a squalid little room filled with barrels, crates, and dusty bottles of wine, all sour. On a damp wooden bench lies a Short Sword, and beside it a plain circular Shield (if you wish to take either of these items, remember to mark them on your Action Chart, the Shield is a Special Item which adds 2 points to your COMBAT SKILL when used in combat).

Castle Death posted:Taking hold of a crate, you pull open the lid as easily as if you were tearing the peel from an overripe orange. The damp timber crumbles in your hands, falling on the tarnished pewter plates lying within. Your boot staves in the side of another crate, and you hear the dull crunch of shattered porcelain. This one is full of old Kakushi vases, part of a cargo from a trading barge that sank on the reef over a decade ago.
It's weird that the Project Aon instructions for those who can't see the illustration instruct you to draw the diagram upside-down.
