Superfluous, unlinked sections in 15tdc:
Currently, the PA edition of TDC lists two sections--72 and 194--as
being unreachable and superfluous. Clearly, Joe Dever and the Mongoose
team didn't think this was acceptable, so they have completely rewritten
both these sections and placed them elsewhere in the game! I don't think
we should follow suit on this one, but for the sake of completeness,
here are the adjustments made:
==================================
Section 86:
If your total is now 4 or less, turn to 29.
If it is 5 or higher, turn to 287.
Becomes:
If your total is now 2 or lower, turn to 29.
If it is 3-5, turn to 72.
If it is 6 or higher, turn to 287.
==================================
Section 72:
As the beast keels over backwards and splashes into the mire, you roll
Prarg on to his back then watch as the remaining Ciquali, now
leaderless, turn away and disappear as quickly as they had come,
slipping back to the cold, dark safety of their hiding places beneath
the surface. Silence returns, and for a long moment you stay alert,
suspecting trickery, then slowly you relax; they have gone.
Aided by your healing skills, Prarg makes a speedy recovery from the
battering he sustained in combat with the Ciquali chieftain. The boat,
too, has survived the attack and you are able to continue without
further delay. As soon as you pass the obstruction, you hoist the sail
and catch the prevailing wind which propels you northwards along the
channel beyond.
You are hungry after your encounter. Unless you possess Grand
Huntmastery, you must now eat a Meal or lose 3 ENDURANCE points.
To continue, turn to 322.
Becomes:
Unfortunately, you do not cast the spell fast enough to entirely block
the Drakkar's arrow. You deflect it but its sharp point gouges your
shoulder and knocks you flat on your back: lose 3 ENDURANCE points.
Using your innate healing skills, quickly you are able to staunch the
bleeding. For nearly an hour you lie in the bottom of the boat staring
at the grey sky, allowing the river to carry you downstream, and when
eventually you pull yourself upright, you find that the Drakkarim
renegades are no longer in sight.
Your voyage continues without further incident until, later in the
afternoon, you catch sight of a town on the horizon. You check your map
and discover it to be a fortified Drakkarim stronghold. As the river
carries you closer, you magnify your vision and see that it is built
upon the left bank of the Shug. A huge stone bridge spans the river, and
beneath this you see that the waterway is blocked by a barrier of
chained logs.
If you wish to allow your boat to drift towards this barrier, turn to 314.
If you decide to avoid the barrier, you can put ashore and continue on
foot by turning to 231.
==================================
Section 345:
If your total is now 4 or less, turn to 269.
If it is 5 or more, turn to 77.
Becomes:
If your total is now 3 or lower, turn to 269.
If it is 4-6, turn to 194.
If it is 7 or more, turn to 77.
==================================
Section 194:
As the deadly shafts scream towards you and Prarg, you open your hand
and thrust your palm into his back, pushing him aside. This swift action
saves him from the first bolt, but it robs you of time in which to react
to the second. It strikes and red-hot pain flares up your leg as the
iron-tipped bolt gouges a deep furrow of flesh from the back of your
calf: lose 4 ENDURANCE points.
Turn to 60.
Becomes:
Unfortunately, you are not swift enough to avoid being struck by the
Drakkar's arrow. It hits you in the right shoulder and knocks you flat
on your back: lose 3 ENDURANCE points.
Despite the pain, bravely you take hold of the arrow and wrench it from
your flesh. Using your innate healing skills, quickly you staunch the
bleeding and cleanse the wound. You are left shivering with shock and,
for nearly an hour, you lie in the bottom of the boat staring at the
grey sky. You allow the river to carry you downstream and, when
eventually you pull yourself upright, you are relieved to discover that
the Drakkarim renegades are no longer in sight.
Your voyage continues without further incident until, later in the
afternoon, you catch sight of a town on the horizon. You check your map
and identify it to be Konozod, a fortified Drakkarim stronghold. As the
river carries you closer, you magnify your vision and see that it is
built upon the left bank of the Shug. A huge stone bridge spans the
river, and beneath this you see that the waterway is blocked by a
barrier of chained logs.
If you wish to allow your boat to drift towards this barrier, turn to 314.
If you decide to avoid the barrier, you can put ashore and continue on
foot by turning to 231.
