The high road;The low road;
The land rises. You can take the high road or the low road here.;
This is working out well.;
The road comes to a sudden end. Unable to stop in time, you plummet to an untimely end.;
choices:The fast lane;The right lane;
A wide highway parallels your course. A shiny red Lamborghini convertible is parked on the shoulder. Impulsively, you hop in, lay rubber, and swerve into:;
This is truly a dream car, but its gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired. All too soon the ride is over and you're back on the road - on foot.;
The back end begins to drift a little and as you skillfully correct, things rapidly spin out of control. Very rapidly. Too rapidly.;
choices:Left;Right;
The path you are on splits into two. One branch goes left and the other right. Decision time. Which branch do you take?;
Nothing dreadful happens. You seem to have made the correct choice.;
The path narrows and then disappears. As you turn to retrace your steps, you clumsily fall and fatally strike your head on the only rock for miles around.;
choices:Rock;Hard place;
You are hemmed in by a very large rock to one side and what appears to be a rather hard place opposite. You're going to have to cross one or the other.;
Nimbly you skip across and leave that odd peril behind.;
You lose your footing and the resulting impact does quite a bit of damage to your body. No more traveling for you.;
choices:North;South;
You stumble across a set of old overgrown railway tracks and decide to follow them for a while. You hop up on one rail and head:;
The tracks end at an abandoned station and you head down the road that leads away.;
Uh, oh, maybe these tracks are still in use. That's definitely a train bearing down on you! In your haste to jump off the tracks you stumble and fall - oops.;
choices:Bridge;Tunnel;
You come to a wide river. A rickety old bridge crosses over it. A modern tunnel system leads under.;
That seems to have been a smart choice. You make it to the other side of the river in one piece.;
Due to a minor engineering malfunction you fail to get to the other side of the river safely.;
choices:Umbrella;No umbrella;
You hear distant thunder. It begins to sprinkle. Then the rain begins in earnest. You're getting soaked. You wonder if you should put up your umbrella.;
Good move. The rain stops, the sun comes out, and things are looking good for your quest.;
The rain pours down. What you really need is an ark. Glub, glub, glub....;
choices:Pet him.;Ignore him.;
A big black dog starts to trot along beside you. His large teeth make you a little uneasy.;
After a nice run the dog slows and stops and you lose sight of him.;
Not liking your attitude, the dog sinks those large teeth into you, seriously reducing your ability to pursue your quest.;
choices:Flap your arms.;Pray.;
A wide deep chasm blocks your way. You back up, get a running start and launch yourself across the void. Uh, oh. Looks like you're going to be just a wee bit short.;
Good move. You lift just a bit in the air and land safely on the other side.;
Nope, didn't work.;
choices:Run to escape it.;Wait for it to clear.;
A thick, unnatural-looking ground fog settles in around you. You can barely see. Breathing isn't that easy either.;
Gradually the air clears. Things are looking good.;
The weird fog fills your lungs, substantially reducing your lung capacity and your chances of getting anywhere fast.;
choices:Turn left.;Turn right.;
You come to a crossroads.;
This way looks clear.;
Things look good until a mad stampede of muskoxen pours over the road, flattening you in the process.;
choices:Breast stroke;Australian crawl;
A small lake as smooth and clear as glass stretches out in front of you. You wade in and start swimming.;
Nice. You reach the far shore in record time.;
Your stroke leaves a lot to be desired. In fact, you sink like a stone.;
choices:Rest;Don't rest;
For no particular reason you feel a bit tired. You could stop and rest. Or not.;
That seems to have worked out well.;
Waves of profound fatigue overwhelm you. You're not going to make any further progress in this condition.;
choices:Go with the flow;Buck the trend;
You come to a busy thoroughfare. Everybody seems to be headed in the same direction. Hmmm...which way to go?;
You seem to have chosen well.;
A large transport swerves out of control, taking out everybody in its path. Unfortunately this includes you.;
choices:The less traveled;The other one;
You come to a woods. Two roads diverge. Which to take, which to take....;
That appears to have been the best choice.;
The path meanders to a meaningless end.;
choices:Old road;New loop;
It looks like you can take the old road through town or the new loop that skirts it.;
That seems to be a good route.;
Everybody else apparently made the same choice. After making virtually no progress for several hours you give up in frustration.;
choices:Go left;Go straight;
A small sideroad leads off to the left. You have a hunch that this could be a shortcut.;
Everything seems copacetic.;
Almost immediately you sense that you are hopelessly lost.;
choices:Put on sunscreen;Fan yourself;
The sun peeks out from behind a cloud and shines down on all below. Especially you. It's getting warm.;
Very effective.;
That doesn't seem to have done the job. You collapse in a sunstricken heap.;
choices:Ride the horse;Hop on the skateboard;
A sleek thoroughbred and a battered skateboard are right there in front of you.;
Good going. After an exciting ride, you hop off, not wishing to push your luck.;
You nurse what feels to be a broken ankle while reassessing your situation.;
choices:Left;Right;
The road forks.;
Looks like this is the way to go.;
Hordes of zombies, werewolves, and telemarketers descend upon you - obviously not the way to go.;
choices:The easy way;The hard way;
There are two ways you can go from here.;
Well chosen. You're making good progress.;
At first only little things go wrong. But the big things quickly follow. That was just not the right choice.;
choices:The rabbi;The guru;
A rabbi and a guru approach. Each volunteers to help you find your way. You really don't know which one to follow.;
A wise choice. You seem to be approaching nirvana.;
I sense that you weren't truly committed to that choice. You seem to have lost your way.;
choices:The tall one;The not so tall;
Two leprachauns cross your path.
"One of us will help you on your way. The other, not so much," says the taller of the two.;
Excellent choice. The leprachaun leads you to the end of a rainbow, picks up the pot of gold there, and walks away.;
Unfortunate choice. The leprachaun produces a solid-looking shillelagh and knocks you senseless.;
choices:Your money;Your life;
A masked highwayman leaps out of the bushes and confronts you.
"Your money or your life!" he demands.;
Pleased by your cooperative attitude, the highwayman relents and lets you pass.;
Actually the highwayman lied - he takes your money AND your life.;
choices:This way;That way;
You see two lassies go by. One goes this way and the other that way.
Perplexed, you ponder which way to go.;
Way to go! Your journey is progressing well.;
Wrong way, I'm afraid you followed the wrong lassie. Whipping out her pepper spray, she spritzes the heck out of you!;
choices:The birchbark;The kayak;
You come to a turbid brown creek. On the bank are a birchbark canoe and a high tech kayak. Both look new but something worrisome nags at the back of your mind.;
You float smooothly down the creek and alight on the bank, having made excellent progress.;
As the current gets stronger, you realize what's missing - you're up the creek without a paddle! Helplessly you watch as you are swept over a roaring waterfall.;
