You win.As the grand leader of your barbarian tribe, you've been forced to deal with countless catastrophes- plagues, famine, wars, Shyfters- but NOTHING could ever compare with the dastardly act that was committed this morning.<br>
[[Continue|deask]]Grinder and Tinder, the wicked Troll Kings, have stolen all of your tribe's pizza! This cannot be tolerated. As the leader of your tribe, it is your duty to seek out their smelly troll cave and get the pizza back... no matter what.<br>
[[Continue|gettheidi]]Your adventure begins here, at the edge of the Enchanted Forest, knee-high in a stinky bog. The huge trees ahead are so tall the tops are lost in fog. You have arrived at a fork in the road. There are footprints leading off in both directions.<br>
[[Continue|leadingdjkf]]You can hear the sound of sloshing water down the path to the left. The right-hand path leads to a thick tangle of dark trees. Which way will you go?<br>
[[Go towards the water|2]]
[[Pass through the dark trees|3]]You head down the path and arrive at the edge of a murky swamp. Dozens of logs float in the brackish water. Suddenly one of the logs begins to move, and you realize that they aren't logs at all- they're alligators! The fearsome beasts slither out of the water and attack!<br>
[[Fight them with your sword|4]]
[[Cast a spell on them|spell]]
[[Run across their backs to reach the far side of the swamp|5]]You make your way into the darkest section of the woods and realize you've entered the Grove of the Ancient Fairies. Their city lies high above, hidden somewhere in the trees. You can see the Great Tree of the Fairies in the center of the grove.<br>

[[Continue|lskfjgddk]]You are standing in a cobblestone dungeon. There are four iron levers on the wall. Words have been scribbled across the floor in chalk.<br>
[[Read the words]]
[[Examine the levers]]
[[Pull a lever]]"To the left lies endless slumber,
To the right a nasty flood.
If you hope to survive
The fits of laughter
Head towards the water."<br>
[[Examine the levers]]
[[Pull a lever]]The levers all look identical. They are made of iron. Someone polished them recently.<br>

[[Pull a lever]]Which lever will you pull?<br>

[[Continue|youar]]You yank the second lever to the left. The room instantly fills with laughing gas! You laugh until you cry. Then you keep laughing. Your cheeks hurt from laughing so much. You can't breathe. You keep laughing. You can't tell who's laughing anymore. It's probably the trolls. You die of laughter.<br>
[[Continue|youar]]You yank the second lever to the right. The doorway behind you slides open. The laughter of trolls turns into grumbling and muttered curses. You flee the room.<br>
[[Continue|mainhall]]You yank the lever on the right. The room begins to fill with water! You desperately search for an escape, but there is none to be found. The last thing you hear before drowning is the laughter of trolls...<br>
