Hi Tom.
Well that was intended purely as a puzle question really.
i actually tried the riddle on a friend of mine, and he got it second go, so
I thought it was okay.
While there are several answers that look right (afterall your character
isn't supposed to be too stupid), the bit about holes and devices should've
given it away, sinse those bits don't apply to time or any of the others.
Also, as you might guess, it's a parady of gollum's last riddle in the
hobbit as well ;D.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
Oh, I seem o recall a dcouple of other places where whatever you chose
to do could and would likely kill you. Remember the spelling door with
the goblins?
I couldn't figure out the riddle, and so ended up just going down
through the options one by one until I found the right one. That's
cheating i know, but it seemed to me there were several right answers
to that riddle, and death, time, fate, etc only ended up resulting in
my immediate execution. So it seemed to me any random choice logical
or not got me killed. The right answer was totally unexpected as far
as I am concerned and was actually my last choice. Grrrr.....

I really dislike gamebooks where it's a case of "right or left door,
right
your dead!" and there's no clue involved, you just die, house of horror
on
the fighting fantasy project site, and the novel it was based on house of
hell are very bad for that.
The fire exit though I thought was a bit of a no brainer, and just stuck
it
in for kicks, sinse I also tried to always make deaths as amusing as
possible.
Beware the grue!
