Hi Dark, Lol...I'm loving it. There is an issue though. The seven-headed Cerberus can be defeated with the bogstoppers whether youhave or have not opened the chest, I believe. So you might want to look into taking that choice out.

Hi Dark, Lol! Great job. I just downloaded this gamebook, played a few games, and its great. Thanks for writing this funny adventure. Reminds me of the old Choose Your Own Adventure stories from the 1980's. Does anyone remember those? In the Choose Your Own Adventure gamebooks you were given a story, and you were given options at the bottom of each page. Depending on the options you selected the book would end differently. I use to love reading them, because there were so many variations of the same story depending on choices it took several readings to find out what all the paths were. Some ended pretty quickly like explore the darkened room, and you stepped into a hole and fell to your death. Where if you ignored the darkened room you would move on in the story and be given two more choices until you got to one of the endings. It was great fun. Cheers!
