I found 3 gold coins in a machine, fought a minotaur and took its horn, used the horn to summon a skeleton boatman, paid the boatman a gold coin to ferry me across the lake, found iron spikes and a mallet, followed a spiral pattern leading to a pearl but then got burned twice when attempting to escape, ran away from cave trolls, used the mallet and spikes to bar the door and lock them on the other side, climbed through a vent, and then got poisoned to death by spiders. Good stuff! I will try this again to see if I can get a better ending :)

Really good. The writing was better than most and while you did need to do a number of things to actually win, there's more logic than the usual "check everything or die" nonsense too many of these books fall into.

I also like there are numerous fail endings where the protagnist gets away unharmed instead of all but one road leading to death.

Lot of anti vaxxers in the UK these days. Yoga teachers are not the exception.

I am replaying the hell outta this one as I can't seem to get it right. And the simple fact that its a ton of fun! Thanks.
Advice, what's the best skill to learn in my new princess's body? I keep choosing royal family history as I feel I need that to impress a group of robe wearing crazies. Ok I'm being harsh, but I hope, vague? :P
Any general hints would be appreciated and would save me a ton of clicks.

Seems as if choosing Etiquette would save me a bunch of rage points. That about right?
Although my luck kind of plummets after a while too.

I always wind up dying at the church of ST Paul and ST Peter.
Question, how do I set up a spoiler so it doesn't show? Thanks.
Btw, I love this gamebook!

Man what's the correct steps to make the substance? I found where they each load, but by the time I gather them all, while leaving the camp totally undefended, I'm dead.

Does anyone know why I start out with a minus 2 attack strength in the first fight against the cultist on the beach?
I chose detective.

Question is there a way to make off with the final prize? If so, Vladimir has to be killable somehow...

I'm just wondering: do you think it would be a good idea to have a 'Gamebook Solutions' section? Perhaps one that covers all known FF gamebooks, published and fan-written? I do know that there used to be some listed in the old FF.com website, these gave the correct entry numbers/choices.

Ugh killed by Darm's lightning bolt. Man that's a long way to go to not finish.
What could I have done different. Was there something that gave me a better attack strength than minus 2? sheesh! lol

Pretty cool game. Just wish Luck was useable in combat.

@Tammy I was planning on just finishing it myself, but if there is any interest, I would love to complete it as I started it as a group effort. I want to finish Rulers of the NOW first and then I will work on that.

Moxie Fri Sep 3 02:32:33 2021 Bodies In The Docks	Really good game! The atmosphere and exploration of the time period are excellent, perhaps more appealing than the horror itself. I've played it a few times and I just wish there were maybe checkpoints or something, so you could complete the story without having to restart from scratch after every death.
