You wake up, trying to remember what happened.
You were just having dinner with your parents, the king and queen, when servants began running in, yelling about a dragon or something. Your parents were worried, but you didn’t worry too much. Dragons were in all the fairy tales and stuff, but they wouldn’t actually attack the capital...right? They’d never make it past the guards.
This one did. Your memory is hazy, but you remember being high in the air, seeing a lot of fire.

The dragon must have kidnapped you.

You look around, examining the room you are in. It has stone walls, a bed, and a chamber pot. There is a wooden door in one of the bare walls. Opening it, you see an empty corridor, stretching a couple dozen feet before branching left and right.
You begin planning for what comes next...

Start posting stuff.

Run down the corridor and head left.
[4]
If you head left, turn to page 10.
You decide to head down the corridor and go left. That's how you get out of mazes, right?
Usually, this is a pretty good idea, but after a few twists and turns you end up facing an angry-looking minotaur with a pretty big axe.
The minotaur glares at you and flares its nostrils. What will you do?

Or, wait for someone to come.
[7]
If you decide to wait where you are, turn to page 2.
You decide to wait here. Normally, there's supposed to be some kind of noble warrior to come and save you, right?
...
Now is evidently not normal.
Turn to the previous page.

Alright, not a bad start.

I'd prefer one at a time. Especially given the probability that Playergamer would do the "Turn Right" thing.

Page 10:
Reason with the Minotaur
[20!]
If you talk with the minotaur, turn to page 78.
You try talking with the minotaur, reasoning with him. Basically, using words to get the bull-beast not to kill you.
It works.
“I’m glad to have met you, little one. I was attacked by a dragon, and the next thing I know I’m here, covered in little goblins. Do you know how to get out?”
“No, I’m sorry,” you reply.
“We’ll just have to find a way out, I guess...any ideas?”

Page 1:

Turn Right
[17]
To go right, turn to page 16.
You go down the corridor and to the right, discovering on the way a strange corpse. It’s about as big as you, and humanoid in shape, but when you shift the robe’s hood aside to get a good look at it you realize just how inhuman it is. Green-orange flesh, no nose, irisless eyes, oversized ears...it’s a goblin.
You could take its robe and weapons and such, but that could slow you down...and it probably smells.

That went well for everyone.

Page 78:
Go back to the intersection and head straight.
(Right when coming from the room.
Also, sometimes going the same way at different times has different outcomes, so this might.
Hopefully.)

Straight as in "It was left originally"?

And are you going to grab anything from the goblin or no?

Indeed.

Hey, SB, you paying attention?

Straight as in when you're coming to the intersection from the room with the bed and whatnot in it, it is to your right side.

There is no such path.
