[Fighting Fantasy] Caverns of the Snow Witch

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I can't count on getting as lucky as I did with the lone mountain elf with a whole cadre of the witch's servants, and duck down the tunnel to the left.

I've only gone about 10 meters when the ice floor cracks under my weight and I fall into a pit trap.

((Roll 1d6 and take that much Stamina damage.))

((I take 2 Stamina damage.))

((Stamina 6/15, Skill 9/9, Luck 10/12, Potion of Fortune and 8 provisions in my backpack. I also have leather armor and my sword.))

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I climb painfully to my feet and look up to see how far I have to climb to get back out.

And I see a pair of ugly faces staring down at me. The goblins throw a rope down.

"Throw your sword up first," one commands.

I don't know how many other options I have at this point.

((Climb up, turn to 276))

((Pull on the rope and yank one of the goblins down with me, turn to 314))

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I've gotten this far in my life through luck, not brawn. Pulling a goblin down into the pit with me seems as likely to raise additional alarm as it does to help me, which would make me even worse off. If I'm up top, maybe there's a way to talk my way out of this.

With a sigh, I climb the rope.

I get to the top and I see that the goblins wear glowing metal collars beneath their furs. They draw their daggers and urge me to walk on ahead of them, down the tunnel I just ran down.

Whatever they're marching me toward can't be good.

((Fight them with your bare hands, turn to 39))

((Try and run away, turn to 102))

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Better to be lucky than dead. I make a run for it.

The goblins call for me to stop and throw their daggers at my retreating back.

((Roll 1d6.))

((If you roll a 1 or 2, turn to 140))

((If you roll a 3 or 4, turn to 330))

((If you roll a 5 or 6, turn to 245))

((I roll a 2))

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Both of their daggers hit me, one in the shoulder, one in the thigh. Blinded by the pain, I pull them out and throw them back at the goblins, only realizing my mistake a second too late as I run away.

((Lose 4 Stamina and 1 Skill))

((Stamina 2/15, Skill 8/9, Luck 10/12, Potion of Fortune and 8 provisions in my backpack. I also have leather armor.))

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I arrive back at the tunnel fork.

((I'm going to take advantage of one of the gamist peculiarities of Fighting Fantasy and, since I'm not in combat right now, I'm going to eat 3 provisions.))

((Stamina 14/15, Skill 8/9, Luck 10/12, Potion of Fortune and 8 provisions in my backpack. I also have leather armor.))

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I walk down the tunnel and see a gap in the left-hand wall. I peek into it. Inside, a bestial hill man is stripping the skin off a moose while an impatient gnome cook waits to put it into a simmering stew pot.

((Enter the kitchen, turn to 95))
((Creep past, turn to 267))

This snow witch certainly does run a very multicultural workplace.

This snow witch certainly does run a very multicultural workplace.

It's a woman-run organization uniting a diverse team to fight against global warming. We should have asked for an interview... Since they are apparently very rich, they might be paying better than Big Jim Sun (who owe use 50 gp since we actually killed the beast. What's our chance on collecting on them?)

We have a sprained ankle, two open dagger wounds but no worry, we took 3 bentos in a row so we're 100% operational.
