A fishing boat that just happens to be around when there are no other survivors around you? Especially when the guy who's trying to kill us got away in a boat on the previous update?

My Ackbar senses are tingling. Let's swim for shore.

Assuming we're near Ragadorn, Hammerdal is due east, so head that way.

We need to get to Port Bax, and we still have money to spend if these guys demand a toll. Cross the bridge.

Yeah, there aren't many reminders that this was a gamebook series published in the mid-80s, but when they do, eesh.

This is tame compared to later books.

Investigate the interesting thing.

Chat them up. I'm sure they haven't heard yet about us murdering their tribesman and taking one of their children hostage.

Climbing just seems like it's inviting an instadeath for me. Look for another way.

I may be reading more racism into this than was intended. The options as presented in the book are not actually so provocative.

The previous thread took the racism gag and ran with it, culminating in such highlights as:

quote:

There once was a guy from the North
To rescue his mate he went forth
Leftward he headed
Got thoroughly deaded
By a trap in a fortress of swarth.

quote:

It's not the swarthy on the outside that matters, it's the swarthy on the inside.

Why do the British covers never show his face?

Because it is YOU! YOU ARE LONE WOLF!

Your mind is blown!

what if the reader was swarthy
Well then you can't see Lone Wolf's face because he is hiding his secret shame.

In deference to the teachings of Kai, always be looting.

Meandering journey-type books like Kingdoms of Terror and Book 18 later on are best served by either having an urgent purpose to the journey or having the journey itself having multiple memorable moments.

Book 18 has the former for sure. Kingdoms of Terror has one or two good scenes, but I think overall lacked enough memorable events.
