BUT NOT HALF AS PISSED AS I'D BE IF SOMEONE WERE TO SPOIL VARYS KILLING A LANISTER!!!

Don't bother spending a fireseed. Just go there and kick their asses. Approach

We have a potential catastrophic explosion, and we wish to use it.

Two spindly fellows peacefully enjoying a sauna and we're about to bomb them and/or stab them with a sword. I don't see how we're the heroes in this scenario. :catbert:

There's always the possibility we die and have to revise a decision or two, but if you make sure it is far enough in the past it's probably okay.

Yeah, there's no problem with that at all.

You mean like how we broke into that miner's cabin and murdered him? Or those innocent ice barbarians we killed back in book three (where we also took a child hostage)? Or that time we cheated at an archery contest? Or all the stuff we've stolen? Lone Wolf is often not very heroic.

Yeah I'm talking about going into the bowyer's shop, having him try to shoot you with the silver bow then permanently losing it. I did not see that coming.

Fireseed! Make marsh gas go boom!

How could this possibly go wrong?

The Jungle of Horrors posted:

You hurl the Fireseed and it strikes the jagged rock directly in front of the hissing swamp-dwellers. In the next instant the swamp, the creatures, and the causeway itself are transformed into a searing ball of flame as the exploding Fireseed ignites the inflammable cloud of gas. The blast badly burns your face and hands and scorches your tunic�lose 12 ENDURANCE points.

Endurance: 25/37.

Your body has shielded Paido from the blast, and he has escaped serious injury. He tends your raw, blistered face and bandages your hands with strips of cloth torn from his undershirt. Your injuries are severe: they reduce your COMBAT SKILL by 5 points for the duration of this adventure and permanently reduce your score by 3 points in future adventures.

Combat Skill: 29 (16).
Healing: +1 EP (26/37).

Do we continue to the south or head west?

Did someone say something about this book being unusually punishing? Although honestly I think we all knew that was a bad idea. Our effective combat skill will increase by two points to 31 at the end of this book, but our base combat skill without any of our bonuses or penalties will remain at 16 until we do something else to change it (such as completing another lore circle).

There is also a part in the beginning of the book where the special item bow can be destroyed.

What do you think's more likely, a reward for perseverance or just more punishment?

The Jungle of Horrors posted:

The causeway comes to an abrupt halt, its jagged edge overhanging a sprawling tangle of reeds, marsh thistles, and black moss. The pools of dark water are few, but the hazards are much greater than before.

�Those patches,� says Paido, pointing across the wild landscape, �are quicksands.� You stare at myriad tan-coloured patches where the weeds do not grow.

Healing: +1 EP (27/37).

Do we cross the quicksand or turn back and go west?

Avoid quicksand. Pity we didn't kill ourselves with that Fireseed.

I do think it's a good thing that if you're really loving stupid, you can pay a permanent change to your character sheet that will stick with you until your life and quest, ends..

Determined to see this path through, no matter how much the book hints to go another way.

The Jungle of Horrors posted:

Painfully slowly you inch your way across the bog, covering less than a mile in three hours. As the sun sets, you find yourselves in the middle of a thickening fog and decide to halt for the night and continue at dawn. Unfortunately, the Danarg quicksands shift and settle like the ebb and flow of the tide, and during the night, you are drawn into its depths to remain forever a prisoner of the bog.

Your life and your quest end here.

Death Count: 10

Tiggum: Oct 24, 2007; Your life and your quest end here.

Or we could go west.

The Jungle of Horrors posted:

Gradually the causeway descends into the stinking mire, delivering you back to the ankle-deep ooze. A chilling howl drifts across the swamp from the north, and for a few fleeting seconds, all the scuttling, slithering, and other small noises cannot be heard.

~~You are hungry and must now eat a Meal or lose 3 ENDURANCE points.~~

Healing: +1 EP (28/37).

You arrive at a mound where a tree bearing blood-red fruit overhangs a pool of crystal-clear water. You stop to rest and to dislodge the tiny leeches that are feasting on your legs.

Paido climbs the tree to scan the horizon. He carries with him a starguider, a homing device invented by the Elder Magi to enable their flying ships to navigate in the dark. It is sensitive to the vibrations given off by korlinium crystals. The spire of the Temple of Ohrido is solid korlinium, and the Elder Magi have set Paido�s starguider to home in on the vibrations emitted by the spire. By following the direction of the signals, it is hoped that you will be able to find the lost temple.

Whilst Paido is busy adjusting the starguider, you decide to investigate your surroundings.

Healing: +1 EP (29/37).

Shall we examine the red fruit or the pool of water, or just sit quietly and wait for Paido?
