Fighting Fantasy Monday (Except on Saturday): Seas of Blood (XIII)

Thankfully, none of you had to be ashamed of yourselves for refusing to help the sea sprites. Let's see what happens.

'A predatory Krell, which inhabits a cave under this vessel, has stolen the Skull of Salt,' explains the Sprite. 'This is our most precious relic, given to us by Father Sea, which, by its magic, keeps the sea and fresh waters of the world separate. We must have it back.' The Sprites give you a magic potion which enables you to stay underwater without needing to breathe, and then show you to the Krell's cave beneath the wreck. The entrance tunnel descends vertically into the sea-bed. Swimming down, you notice that the walls are heavily pocked with wide, deep holes. Will you continue swimming down into the cave (turn to 105), or stop for a moment to look in one of the holes (turn to 89)?

I love how matter-of-fact that is. Oh yeah, just a potion to let me breathe underwater. Ta for that. Cheerio then!

  3. In the holes!

    (nevermind how matter of fact the potion is: "here's a Skull Of Salt, that doesn't get dissolved in water over time, and magically keeps the salt and fresh waters of THE ENTIRE WORLD separate!" What does the Krell want with the Skull? My bet is that even if we get the Skull back the Sprites are up to no good...)

    Word Verification is "esessic" which sounds mystical!

  6. In order to ramp the Freudian context of this phase of the adventure to 11. I vote that we poke about with the holes.
