*FACEPALM*
Page 27: Answer the Minotaur.
"Not really.. hey, did you wake up here in that room" -you gesture toward the hall- "with the bed and such, by any chance?"

Page 89: Ignore the Minotaur and Go the Other Way ((Toward the Goblin Corpse))
You do so.
I'm forced to ignore these actions because I can't figure out where they fit into the story. Please double-check the current version of the book and let me know if I've screwed up somewhere.

Page 11
Turn... right. I'll let Player gamer take the sulfur road.
[8]
If you go right, turn to page 73.
You head right. The scent of fresh air, flowers, and whatnot gets stronger, and the patches of mold and such on the walls get smaller. You can almost taste freedom! You can't wait to get back to the palace.
Unfortunately, you come across something in your way: A pair of weird, smelly, noseless creatures, with green-orange flesh and giant ears. One wears chainmail, the other a robe.
"Look!" says one. "It's the prisoner!"

Quote
Also, I remember there being at least one book of this type that had a secret page in it that no other page lead to, so you would only find it if you didn't follow the book's structure, and I think it actually gave the best ending.
Would this book likely have something hidden in it like that?
Probably not. Kinda cheap if you can't choose the adventure, neh?

Page... Whatever: Turn to Page 42
...

Page 78:

With your prodigious strength and great axe we could smash through these walls
[16]
If you suggest that the minotaur try smashing through the walls with his axe, go to page 62.
“Maybe you could smash the walls?” you suggest. “You have a big axe, and you’re big and strong…”
“Huh,” replies the minotaur. “That’s not a bad idea.”
So he begins smashing through the walls of the labyrinth, creating a straight path in a random direction. Before you know it, your nostrils are filled with the scent of fresh air and flowers...and something more rotten.
“Goblins,” grumbles the minotaur. “Shoulda known they’d be guarding the entrance.”
You see a few creatures, with big ears and orange-green skin. Most are wearing chainmail, but one is in robes.
One of the armored ones points to you and shouts “The prisoner! And the minotaur! They’re escaping!”
“I can tell, you idiot,” replies the robed one.
You can hear footsteps behind you. You’re so close to freedom, but there are goblins in your way!

Page 34: Attack the foul beast!
But really, what a mighty dragon indeed. To have such minions, it should be quite the hot-shot. Pun more or less not intended. Either way, freedom calls us!
[7-5]
If you fight the minotaur, go to page 24.
This must be a mighty dragon indeed, to have such minions. It must be quite the hot-shot. Freedom calls, and this beast stands in your way.
“For freedom!” you cry as you charge at the massive beast. It looks at you with irritation, and mild surprise when your blade penetrates its tunic and hide before halting against some bone. Unfortunately, it responds to this by embedding its much larger weapon in your much smaller torso.
“Stupid gremlin,” you hear it mutter as it walks past.
You bleed over the floor, trying to get away, get revenge, get out, whatever. Even you’re not quite sure. Darkness slowly covers your vision.

The End


You would not believe how many times I generated a random page number and got 34.

Page 12: Go right, while getting a feel for your new weapon
Nah, wait, wait wait. This doesn't feel right. Happening upon the minotaur while clothed in the robes might spell a dead end, but we need to have at least two choices for this matter. So; In-Character-Time; Go!

Page 34: Try to slip past the ferocious minion
Being clothed like one of his fellow servitors, hailing it should do the trick. As it is stronger than a goblin, showing a servile attitude towards it should do nicely for our cause.

[18]
If you try to trick the minotaur, go to page 21.
You’re clothed like one of the dragon’s lesser servitors, hailing it should do the trick. Right? After all, it
is a lot bigger and stronger than a goblin (as well as you), so showing a servile attitude should do nicely for our cause.
You head into the corridor, saluting and hailing the beast.
“The gate’s the other way, brown-nose.”
With the minotaur’s aid, you easily find your way to the front entrance. You just need to get your way past and--
“Oy, Trojab! Glad to see you! How’s it been? Mind if I ask what the dragon’s sending you out to do?”
Oh dear. Another one of the robed goblins is coming to greet you. What now?

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

RUN LIKE THERE'S NO TOMMOROW BECAUSE THERE LIKELY ISN'T ONE
[1]
To run away at top speed, turn to the next page.

You turn away from the creatures, hoping that you’ll be able to escape. You notice a side passage that seems to lead into a natural cave, and enter it. No way they’d expect you to go in--!
“Hello there, little human.”
Oh. The dragon.

The End

[8]
To claim you're getting fruit for the prisoner, go to page 18.

“The prisoner wishes for fruits. Fresh fruits.”
“You idiot, what makes you think we’re obeying every little request of the prisoner? Last time you did that, the prisoner improvised some kind of alchemal thing and killed half a dozen guards before escaping! Three days in the brig for you.”
Well. Your disguise isn’t quite blown, but you kinda wish it was.

Page 62:

Hang back, letting the minotaur deal with the goblins
[16]
To let the minotaur deal with the goblins, turn to page 33.

You stand behind your new friend, who charges forward, decapitating a couple goblins in one blow. It advances, driving the armored ones back. A burst of greenish energy from the robed one strikes it in the shoulder, but the minotaur lifts this one up and throws him at a wall. The goblin hits the wall and slides down, unmoving.
You head out into the wilderness, making your way home at last with your new friend in tow.

The End



Two endings, one good one...bad.
