Deathtrap Dungeon - no spoilers please!
I've been playing through my first gamebook, Deathtrap Dungeon. I've died in about 4 or 5 hilarious ways so far. I have a couple of questions if they can be answered without story spoilers? 1) Regarding the potion that you start the game with - is the intention that you choose this before you start playing, and both 'doses' are from the same potion? 2) It says near the back of the book that with the correct path it's easy to win even with poor starting stats; is this a hint that I should be trying to avoid combat? 3) It also mentions that you start with 10 meals (provisions) which restore stamina, but these can only be eaten when instructed in the book. I've not come across this yet in several attempts - are these opportunities then just further into the story? 4) I'm generally not the biggest fan of rolling dice for combat in games, but many modern board games have some kind of dice manipulation so that you're not relying entirely on luck. Apart from general stat increases (I've come across a couple of these) are there any weapons or other items that let you positively affect the dice rolls during combat? 5) I'm brand new to gamebooks! Do you have any spoiler-free tips for when I'm spending my time in Deathtrap Dungeon?
