After we explain that we need powerful magic to combat whatever Rufyl senses up ahead, she becomes exasperated and says she’s not waiting for us to mess around. We convince her to take Rufyl with her for protection. Dalris heads deeper into the swamp with “a look of contempt” on her face.(167) If we have a manticore’s tail quill, we may use Enchant an Item.(136) We could instead use Contact Other Plane.(150) Or we could use Polymorph Other on the unseen monster…(120) … or on one of our companions.---Commentary:You’re not entirely sure of the effects of the four [sic] spells in your traveling spellbook.The mistaken word ‘four’ here has haunted me for as many decades. What was the fourth spell in the traveling spellbook supposed to be???… we could use Polymorph Other on the unseen monster…The book will allow us to use Polymorph Other in its save-or-die capacity HERE, but not when we confront Arno. Damn that villain plot armor!If we have a manticore’s tail quill, we may use Enchant an Item.At last we get to fire the Chekhov’s Gun that was loaded at the very beginning of the gamebook.</blockquote>
