The Gaming Den

Start lucking damage when she's on 3 HP. Not sure we can do anything about her Attack Strength.

Is there any real advantage to having a big list of weapons that are going to get seldom if ever used? If the fighters are most likely going use longswords, do you really need to have an option for someone who wants to have a glaive-guisarme and won't take a glaive or guisarme or guisarme-glaive? I...

I feel like the unfailable tests would have been less unfailable if we hadn't been minmaxed to shit from the get-go; but also, it's 2022, we don't need bullshit deaths to pad out the experience. Was there any consequence besides missing out on Hero Points for losing the riddle contest, the flashback...

The fact that we're being given an out almost certainly means it's the right decision by gamebook logic. Kill the fascist extra for cowardice.

Named shivs are better shivs. Not sure why the other sword becomes unusable during the fight but oh well.

Wiglaf has given his informed consent and he's old enough to know the stakes of an obvious suicide mission. Though I feel like whether he already has an adult in line to succeed him should inform our decision... but since we just aren't told, I go with accepting his help.

Choose communism over fascism.

Let us not pray to the monotheistic god.

What is our last glorious kill guarding the hoard does indeed seem the most important query.

48 Making your way back through the network of caves you come to the chamber that has become the warrior’s ill-deserved tomb. At once, the same glow that greeted you before fills the narrow cave and the warrior’s spirit-form appears before you. As you present the axe and the brooch, laying them on ...

We have a plan and should stick to it.

We didn't just dig all these trenches to NOT use them. Continue to wait.

Gonna assume Odin is wiser than some dwarf. Dig.

(I like the implication that Beowulf is impacted by how well Sigurd performed.)

One eyed beardies with eyepatches should be assumed to be Odin until proven otherwise.

Seconding Ninja Honesty.

If we can still follow the passageway after looting the room then I'll switch to a half vote to break the tie.

Leave it be. And hope we can still look at the body from 97.

Is there any indication that we're somehow on a deadline?

Look at the cooking pot.

Drummer, obviously.

Follow the passageway.

Brandy is our best option.

I vote for reconnaissance over going in blind. (So examine the rocky island.)

(Also, following through with a sneak attack is the less Dudes Rock option.)

I agree with Journeymann00bs translation of the riddle, and the solution of "Dragon" (59).

(...totally didn't miss that the Futhark was meant to be describing a riddle instead of just literally being the letters that had to be added together to make 414...)

Choose communism (go left).

Press button.

Wield Hrunting and neck an energy drink meal.

Another approach, although I'm curious what options it'll provide and worried that we've hit a death sequence because we found some actual god damn content.
