There are 2 ways to get to Surlgrad - the high West way where you met the troll and get the crown from the dying King or the low Eastern way where the goblins are.
On reaching Surlgrad though Thrunvir asks which road you took - if you answer the Western road the mage says the goblins are there, if you say you took the Eastern road the mage says that's the one where the king is.
It looks like these dialog options are the wrong way round, the response to taking the Western road should be the one involving the caravan and the King and the response to taking the Eastern road should be the one involving the goblins.
Other than that it's a pretty good adventure and one I enjoyed.
Cheers

So. Back in the day 'Eddora' and I used to lie in her bed in college and at that time there was still the practise of sending child prodigies to university when they were not adult or even barely adolescent - and of course our university was a prime target because of the publicity. The alleged dark elf and I spoke of one 13 year old who had ended up running away, and we agreed how it was a total mistake to put kids in that position. The clue is in the context - most students go to college to find love partners if they even bother doing any studying. Hence the gamebook I based on this relationship was never intended for children as minors shouldn't be exposed to those experiences. Pre adolescent a would have no interest in a love story in any case.

I know kung fu... though in the cold light of day I am an overweight 40 year old with chronic spine and other damage, as well as being bound by the principles of the Shaolin Temple. Back to the ol' black magick I suppose.

I always say to my students at my (free) martial arts classes 'let's make sure we all get our money's worth' as I forget the sequence of the form I've supposedly known since 2003 or ramble about something totally irrelevant. The irrelevant rambling is probably the most important bit, they probably know more about the Cold War or military aviation than tai chi by this point.

Yeah who needs editors anyways. My gamebooks prove they seriously need a handful but who cares.

Having long since hidden my red light sabre weaponry and defected to the Mando'ade It's more that I'm too tight fisted to pay an editor.

Damned good show Tamsterer. I hated every moment of writing Electra, hated all the characters and most especially hated the male lead. I just couldn't wait to stick it on lulu and forget about it. Subsequently it was six months till I could bear to look at it and it needed editing even more than my other stuff. I hated the lead character even more also. Still, after watching Megadeth for the eighth time I had a moment of clarity and thought maybe he deserved his own happy ending....

I must admit that i really really hated Blacksky (Grekgun II). I hated test playing it and I despised the gameplay. Blacksky was my least favourite compared to Grekgun and the third gamebook. Blacksky is up on Lulu beside its sister. It can sink like Titanic. I dont care.

Phil, he always talks in codes. Can't understand him half the time. The main thing to do is decipher decipher decipher. Then it all makes sense. Reading Gavin is like trying to understand a complicated tarot card layout.

In my world?
I'm still working on Grekgun III. I can't promise it will be on Lulu.com any time soon because i have no clue when it'll be completed. Let's just say I'm near the final stages where the end boss lurks. Thank the goddess for that.

Er .... Yeah? Witches and magicians get used to dealing with multiple layers of meaning and levels of reality in the same place at the same time.

Skull - non-optimum ending reached

Nice writing felt very Jackson. I'll come back and try again.
Also I'd like to see the unknown assailants stats on the fight screen. How close was I to winning? I'll never know. Coz I'm dead.

Oh and the dice are rigged. at draws are, I lose on a draw ... hmmph

Well I guess there are two possible endings for Tom from Electra.

A) he gets squashed by a truck next day on site.
B) he joins Megadeth's crew and goes on stage dressed as VIC RATTLEHEAD.

I know which one I prefer, now I know what he looks like....
