Honestly, my favourite bit of the whole exchange so far has beenArmies of Death posted:You regret your decision to give the apples to your men, and resolve not to be distracted from your main objective in future. Like, were they concerned that if they hadn't included that sentence we'd feel our hero stood by his decision and was continuing to eagerly seek out more poisoned fruit to feed the army?

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. Announce to the sinister cloaked individuals that we possess over 100 gold pieces, surely no ill can come of this.

Does this game give you provisions like other Fighting Fantasy gamebooks? If so, would we normally have been able to heal ourselves from the pie-eating damage by eating a meal immediately afterwards?

If I know mercenaries, the one thing they look for in a leader is the ability to eat fish and custard pie. Let's do this thing.

Look, man, you may think that pitfighting or drug running is a dangerous life, but you don't know true danger until you've plunged wrist-deep into the nest of vipers that is competitive eating. You just happened to get in the way: Big Belly Man made some powerful enemies and he needed to be rubbed out. Ain't nobody fucks with the Human Garbage disposal. Ain't nobody.

Not only is it a gauntlet of bullshit checks to see whether you've done everything else in the book, but it's a gauntlet of unsignposted bullshit checks that we could only have found the answers to by opening every pot, checking under every rug and eating every barrel of apples on the offchance that rather than killing us, the thing we found would instead prove vital to our survival. How did anyone get paid for writing this, again?

Kill the troll. Goblins are chickenfeed, any warrior can't take a few of them down isn't worthy of our rapidly-dwindling army.

It's weird - I remember Creature having a whole ton of instadeath, but it felt less like the bullshit blind choice instadeath that we encountered here: it was more 'You didn't pay attention to a clue, so, welp, dead now!' Could just be rose-tinted spectacles, though. What were the palate-cleansers you were considering?
