If we keep the barrel instead of equipping a rib cage doesn't it slowly fill up with wine the more we drink till we can eventually sell it as a cask? I never owned this game and only played it through once with a buddy of mine and seem to remember him saying something about it.

I think if we fill it up and pull the spigot to 'piss' wine the right village we get worshipped as a god, but I might be thinking of a different book.

I really hope this is the reverse centaur encounter. They're a recurring race if you play your cards page choices right. Make fun of their tiny man/horsehood and they'll back down. Probably.

At some point we need to hide in a dungeon or basement or something and drag an adventurer into the barrel while they're searching for treasure.

Wait for an opportune moment while the Elves and Hippandros are busy and Unleash our enslaved brethren!

Since we're just bones the bear doesn't see us as food, but he'll attack everything else.

I can't remember if he becomes our buddy or trundles off after the fight though, I read a reprint that read a little weird with non-matching page numbers so I guess it was one of Two Fisted Steve's attempts at 'editing' the original.

After the fight we should get the option of 'upgrading' our appendages, or at least taking a spare or two.

From a certain point of view, our "enslaved brethren" are actually the skeletons of the men and elves trapped within living flesh. We have an obligation to free all of them.

That is an extremely valid point. Happily, by releasing the bear we achieve the same result with more mayhem and hopefully less danger to our own flesh-less skeleton.

Loot both hippandros, but then loot only one of the guards. Also, replace our original body parts. Resurrect the last guard as a skeleton.

The bonus from having a pair of hippandro legs is pretty good, and having actual armor is nice as well.

This looks like the way to go.

Keep the Sword, ditch the shears and keep our ratbro.

Obviously this robed skeleton has been twisted by the skinsuit it wears. If we can free it the bonds it has on the rest of our fellow skeletons will be broken and they can join us in glorious revolution against our oppressors, while paying all union dues of course.

Creep closer and look for a way to ambush the robed guy without alerting our charmed brethren.

So we screw on the necromancer head, despite whatever other powers it has the enslaved skeletons will now vote for us as a competent foreman who's looking after their interests, we enlist them in the union and use their collective voting power to take over the bilgetown segment.

I'm pretty sure the necromancer head either made raising the dead easier or allowed you to command other undead as followers.

Pretty sure you can get a pass on the limb limit if you can corrupt the union and then bribe the right official. It's a round about way of doing things but it does mean you can roll around the city as a skelepide with union heavies backing you up.

I saw half a copy of a similar looking cyoa dated from back in the 70s, I suspect it was one of the 'first adventures' he spoke about writing when he was in school. That would make sense because it was full of the most badly written wretchedly sexualized horror I've ever seen, like a CYOA fatal. God knows why he wanted to publish it, misplaced pride I guess.

I'm not sure Herman Skull ever actually liked gamebooks or understood how they worked but he saw people buying Fighting Fantasy and Way of the Tiger and thought he could get rich doing that. He was already pretty old in the 70s. If you have a copy from that era I know a couple of people who'd fight you for it.

That was years ago, literally half of the book in a charity thrift shop bargain bin. No way was I paying even 50c for something back then.
