Section 197 posted:


If you wish to drink a pint of Devil's Brew, turn to Section 172.

If you still insist on apple juice and at the same time would like to tell the barman to mind his manners, turn to Section 71.



Section 172 posted:


You put the mug to your lips and down the foul-tasting drink in one go.

"Ditch water!" you exclaim contemptuously, slamming the mug back down on the bar.

The barman sneers, "The drinks are on me if you can do that a second time."


If you would like to accept the challenge, turn to Section 249.

If you would rather get on with your business, turn to Section 40.

Section 249 posted:


You watch confidently as the barman refills your mug. You put it to your lips and once again gulp down the Devil's Brew without stopping.

As you stand up and turn to walk over to one of the tables, the room suddenly starts to spin before your eyes and you see a double outline of everything in your vision.


Roll two dice.

Roll = 8 ([url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4580077[/url])
If the total is the same as or less than your Skill, turn to Section 61.

If the total is greater than your Skill, turn to Section 157.



Section 61 posted:


You shake your head and just manage to keep your balance as you hear the bellowing laugh of the barman behind you. You slump down in a chair at the table nearest to you, somewhat the worse for drink. Deduct 1 point from your Stamina.


Roll one die.

code:
Roll = 6 ([url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4580080[/url])
If you roll 1-3, you find yourself sitting with a drunken rogue. Turn to Section 378.

If you roll 4-6, you find yourself sitting with three vagabonds. Turn to Section 18.



Section 18 posted:


You sit down at the table with the three vagabonds and they immediately introduce themselves as Enk, Laz and Jip. They ask you what you are doing in Zengis.


If you wish to tell them about your mission, turn to Section 395.

If you would rather tell them that you are in Zengis to visit your cousin, turn to Section 35.

The vagabonds' interest increases when you mention that you are willing to pay for information about Agglax.

"We know where this Agglax is building his army and we can mark the place on a map," says Laz, sensing the smell of gold. "But," he continues with a smug grin on his face, "more importantly, we know how to help you defeat the Shadow Demon. For 10 Gold Pieces, we'll show you where Agglax is. For another 90 Gold Pieces, we'll tell you how to weaken him."


If you want to pay the Vagabonds 10 Gold Pieces, turn to Section 322.

Turns out our gold is the hag. "As you reach into your money bag, you find it mysteriously gone! Some rogue must have taken it! In its place you find the swamp hag shapeshifted into just a head that bites your hand clean off! Deduct three points from your stamina."

I can't help but wonder what he was doing carrying round a scorpion in a pouch all day. Maybe it's like a medieval Tamagotchi.

Not knowing whether you have made the right decision to trust the vagabond, you nevertheless hand over 100 Gold Pieces to them.

Laz takes out a map from under his robes and lays it out open on the table. Zengis is shown in the middle, and to the south is marked the village of Karn. Further south-east are the Starstone Caves. To the east of Zengis there is the Forest of Fiends, which starts where the River Kok splits and runs east, almost to the edge of the map.

Laz takes out a black crayon and marks a large cross on the eastern edge of the map, just where the Forest of Fiends ends. "That's where you'll find him," says Laz. You fold up the map and put it in your tunic pocket.

"And your only hope of defeating Agglax rests on your visiting the Oracle," whispers Jip. "But whether or not the Oracle will talk to you is another matter. It depends on what mood the Oracle is in and what gifts you bring him. The Starstone Caves is where you'll find him."

You thanks the Vagabonds for the information and leave the tavern to explore Zengis further, wondering who the Oracle is.

Section 382 posted:


After passing a row of old wooden houses, you come across a curious shop. There is nothing displayed in the window except straw and an empty birdcage.

Brown paint is flaking off the window-frame and also the door, above which is a sign which reads: "Pets - Normal and Unnatural".

Section 112 posted:


As you open the door, a small brass bell tinkles above your head. A thin, bearded old man is sitting on a stool behind a wooden counter talking to a large crow, perched on his hand.

"Who's an ugly boy, then?" squawks the crow in reply, much to your surprise.

The old man appears unconcerned at your entrance. You look round the shop and see many small animals - cats, birds and small rodents - and also other, strange creatures.

There is one that sits on its two hind legs like a kangaroo, but it is less than two feet tall and is green and lacks fur. Another is a small winged creature with leathery amber skin - it seems quite content to fly from one side of the shop to the other.

Other creatures are equally odd and you are standing looking at them in amazement when the old man suddenly says, "You are fascinated by my pets, are you not? Are you interested in buying one of them? I have both household pets and familiars that can talk. Some are very special indeed and can even create a little magic. You look like an adventurer to me, so I presume it may be a familiar you require."


"Would you like to buy a talking familiar such as my crow here?" If so, turn to Section 47.

"Or would you like a special creature?" If so, turn to Section 369.

Not only does Roob speak, he can also cast an invisibility spell on himself, and on you too, if he happens to be sitting on your shoulder. Just say 'One, one, one," and puff, you are invisible. He also understands the Troll tongue. All I'm asking for Roob is 50 Gold Pieces."
