A dice roll of 7 or higher is required to safely traverse the tunnel ahead.

25 - Oliver Octopoda (LordCephy) rolls 5 + 1 = 6
You choose to wade through the murky water rather than risk the path. Scuttering noises cause you to look up and your three hearts stop at the sight of the many eyes looking back at you as several giant spiders descend.
You blast two with your revolver and throw everything you have at the remaining arachnid before turning and fleeing through the jungle back to the ocean where you belong.
Your quest has failed.

26 - Vstalpozde Neprisel (truhlik) rolls 5 + 3 = 8
You grab one of the poles from the side and use it to test the pavestones as you go. As you approach a giant web, you lean to the right to get past it, brushing the wall as you edge past.
One of the vines starts to entwine itself around your leg but you blast upwards with your gun and a many toothed creature shudders, dies and rains body parts down upon you.
You reach the cavern ahead and see...

27 - Indiana Neko (LaLaLee) rolls 2 + 3 = 5
Your cat Mr Meows jumps out of your satchel and races out of sight down the pathway. After checking your surroundings you go after him, finding the cat batting around a balled up spider, surrounded by snake body parts.
You stop to admire the little fella when a crocodile lunges from the water, grabs you by the waist and pulls you under.
Mr Meows wanders through an opening in the tunnel wall on the left and is adopted by a family of Yetis.
Your quest has failed.

28 - California Reeves (Ruvika) rolls 1 + 2 = 3
You walk into the tunnel and stop to check your surroundings. A loud chittering from behind causes you to turn and see a hungry Guinea Pig flying towards, blood around its mouth.
The rodent hits you in the chest and burrows through to feast on your heart.
Your quest has failed.

29 - Bruce Strine (Mortius1) rolls 4 + 3 = 7
Carefully you edge your way down the path. You whip the nearest pole and yank it into your hands before attaching your torch to it.
You ease yourself into the water and swim towards the cavern, the torch above your head sending spiders scurrying away. As you near your destination you notice two young Yetis playing with a kitten.
You reach the cavern ahead and see...

30 - Albrrt MacGuffin (Orkhepaj) rolls 4 + 4 = 8
You take a deep breath and inhale the smell of adventure. A stinky, foul smelling adventure sure, but adventure all the same.
You take two steps forward and slip, going arse-over-tits before face-planting into the path. You rub your sore knee while trying to ignore the yellow stains down the front of your shorts.
You grip the walking stick that you bought from an elderly Chinese gentleman on the way here and try to use it to test the path for traps. The problem being that the moment you put any real pressure on the stick, it snaps and you windup facedown on the pathway again.
Grumbling, you hobble down the path burning the webs as you go.
You reach the cavern ahead and see...

Thanks for the vivid description!

I hope the yeti family will be friendly.

RIP California Reeves, your more successuful and more real brother will remember you while he's fillming John Wick 4.

Bruce Strine faces a significant dilemma. Does he continue forward in search of the Elixir of Youth? Or should he approach the yetis and ask to play with the kitten.

Bruce resolves to move forward in the search for the Elixir of Youth. Once the Elixir is acquired, he can always return to the yetis and use the elixir to reward the cat with everlasting kittenhood.

ah survivide thank god
well lost the stick made from chinesium at least didnt cost my life

A dice roll of 7 or higher is required to safely traverse the tunnel ahead.

31 - Nameless Adventurer (Crevurre) rolls 4 + 1 = 5
After surveying the tunnel you decide to take your chances with the area outside instead. Happening upon a local tribe, you offer them money for any gold and silver trinkets that they may have.
After chewing up and spitting out the money you gave them they tie you to a giant spit and roast you alive for their supper.
Your quest has failed.

32 - Mortimer Wormfeedersehen (Wirvington) rolls 4 + 5 = 9
You walk along the left side of the path and use your whip to test the sturdiness of the poles there. They seem to be secure and you grow in confidence as you use them to yank yourself along towards your goal.
One of the poles shifts towards you as you whip it and you duck just in time as a sawblade arches out of the wall beside you, skimming the top of your head and taking what is left of your hair with it.
You fight back the tears and continue towards the cavern.
You reach the cavern ahead and see...

33 - Lucky (PMPMGamer) rolls 5 + 2 = 7
You inch along the pathway, alert for potential enemies as you go. You drop to your belly as a group of Yetis and a kitten cross your path. A brightly coloured snake slithers across your hands as you lay there, not daring to breath.
You reach the cavern ahead and see...

34 - Diego Bartolomeu (nevarRed) rolls 4 + 3 = 7
Nursing the mother-of-all hangovers you stagger forward, waving your torch to burn any spider webs in your way. A large spider drops to your face level but the alcohol on your breath is so potent that its legs curl inwards and it drops to the path, dead.
You reach the cavern ahead and see...

35 - Delaware Thompson (DiffuseReflection) rolls 6 + 5 = 11
Considering the pathway too dangerous you decide to use the poles instead. Swinging you whip in a wide arc it wraps around the nearest pole high up. To your surprise the poles do not reach all the way to the ceiling.
You decide to set them alight as you go to keep the skittering hordes of spiders at bay.
A toothy maw reaches towards you with a vine almost causing you to lose balance. You grab your gun and blast it before swinging to the next pole.
You reach the cavern ahead and see...

36 - Peter Parkour (Alexim) rolls 4 + 2 = 6
Confident in your legendary agility you take your first tentative step along the path. A loud screeching sounds from behind as a psychotic and always hungry Guinea Pig barrels into you, knocking you into the murky water.
Bubbles rise to the surface of the water, bubbles and blood.
Your quest has failed.

Oh wow! How did I miss another one of Doc's epic adventure giveaways? I'm not in for the game but would still love to participate in the story if I'm not too late.

Name: Bendy Kyes

Bendy has traversed many dungeons in his time such as the Temple of Loom and the Temple of the Waning Moon but none have proved more mysterious than his current journey in search of the Elixir of Youth. Looking around it appears a hideous creature lurks in the shadows. Bendy's instincts tell him that if he proceeds forwards, this creature will surely consume him. But what of these wooden poles? An idea presents itself to Bendy. A crazy idea but an idea nonetheless. Bendy suspects the wooden poles hold up this tunnel and by destroying them would not only collapse the tunnel but also kill whatever crawls in the shadows. But Bendy will have to be quick to make for the cavern or else be entombed with the beasties.

Bendy pulls out his revolver and shoots the wooden pole, weakening it, then latches onto it with his trusty lasso. He then breaks into a sprint for the faint light emitting from the cavern while still holding onto his lasso attached to the wooden pole. As he passes the pole, it should break the beam collapsing the ceiling and killing the creatures all the while avoiding certain death from either circumstance. Hopefully that is. There is a lot of luck involved with this plan but Bendy has been known to have fairly good luck during his many adventures.

Whoaa, the Nameless Adventurer achieved some horrific death. Remember me to not roll a 5...

The dice gods are kind.

I was however expecting another grisly write-up.

Onwards!

next time pick a name , looks like no name is bad omen

It´s not my character :)

A very bad omen. I checked the fight club giveaway rankings .

<character entry 5> and (no name provided, BOO HISS) both lost in their round one fights, putting them at 0/4.

Cats don't do much better. Probably explains why they like yetis so much.

Life in the GOG adventure world is hard in general for anthropomorphic animals.

Unless perhaps for snakes and spiders, in this case... do we have any anthropomorphic snakes or spiders in the house?
(hopefully not, most people would probably feel somewhat uncomfortable in having a person-sized spider in the house)

I'm more curious how the food-chain looks like in this ecosystem. Who is at the top: the yetis, the snakes, the giant spiders, or the vine monster? My bet is on the acrobatic man-eating hamster!

Which still leaves the question... which of these was devious (and knowledgeable) enough to put the dynamite on the poles? That was a good trap indeed. More questions lie ahead, and perhaps some answers to these mysteries as well.

Plot Twist: what if the Elixir of Youth had the undocumented side-effect of also being a Potion of Polymorph and all these animals and creatures are actually the cursed (yet now youthful) mercenaries and adventurers that actually reached it... don't miss the next episode!

Glad cats are out, nothing is more unoriginal meh than those.

A dice roll of 7 or higher is required to safely traverse the tunnel ahead.

37 - Americo Cortez (KetobaK) rolls 6 + 4 = 10
As you enter the tunnel, a ravenous Guinea Pig launches itself at you from the side. You smash it back out into the jungle with a roundhouse kick while sneering "Not today, fuzzy cheeks!".
With a grim determination you pick your way carefully along the path towards the cavern ahead. When you arrive you have no bullets left, your torch has burnt down to a nub and you are feeling woozy from a spider bite.
You reach the cavern ahead and see...

38 - Jack Hammerfast (arsalan12) rolls 4 + 3 = 7
Hefting your whip in your right hand and wafting your torch from side to side with the left, you carefully make your way down the tunnel. As you go an axe swings out from the left wall, shearing the top of your torch clean off just millimetres in front of your nose.
You gulp and continue on your journey.
You reach the cavern ahead and see...

39 - Dusty Maguire (cardangrille) rolls 4 + 1 = 5
Your mind momentarily wandering from your fixation with baseball, you curse the elderly Chinese gentleman that you met who sent you on this wild goose chase with promises of the ultimate bat.
Looking around, you spot the poles rising from the water on either side of the path and decide to turn one into a bat for smacking any baseballs that may inexplicably be lying around up in the cavern ahead.
Two of the poles are unusually close together so you decide to whip one of them over. As your whip wraps around the pole, the other one next to it suddenly springs to life revealing itself to be a venomous snake. It launches itself at you and bites you several times in the face.
You drop to the ground and as your vision fades to black, you see yourself in the clouds playing baseball with all the greats who have themselves passed from the world.
Your quest has failed.

40 - Frederick Guiller (Zezione) rolls 1 + 2 = 3
You edge your way along the path, whip at the ready. Several darts fly out of the wall, one grazing you even as you throw yourself flat to the ground.
You stand up and carry on towards your goal. Movement out of the corner of your eye has you spinning towards it and blasting the huge snake twice with your revolver.
Onwards you go though your vision is now very blurry. You shake your head wondering what is wrong with you then remember the dart that grazed your arm. Looking down at the scratch you see yellow poison seeping out of it and curse loudly.
You near the end of the path but your legs will carry you no further. You fall to your knees struggling to breathe before collapsing to the ground, dead.
Your quest has failed.

41 - Gabriel Gorgeous (zlaywal) 2 + 4 = 6
Being a cave mapping expert you excitedly enter the tunnel. You lost your original equipment crossing a river on the way here but luckily bumped into an elderly Chinese gentleman who sold you replacements for your gear.
You check your compass to get your bearings only to notice that it is missing its arrow. Cursing, you get out your measuring tape to see what the diameter of the tunnel is but upon closer inspection, the writing on the tape is all in Chinese characters.
Your eye starts twitching as you get angrier and angrier.
You take out your waterproof ink and book only for the paper to disintegrate in your hands and the ink to form into globules in the water.
With a furious rage you race out of the tunnel to find the man who sold you all this rubbish only to run straight into a tribe of locals who lick their lips as they look at you.
Your quest has failed.

42 - Bendy Kyes (BenKii) rolls 3 + 2 = 5
You enter the tunnel with a plan, shoot the poles that you surmise are holding the place up and then run like hell for the cavern ahead.
Revolver in hand, you blast the nearest pole only for your bullet to pass straight through the wood towards a Guinea Pig behind it. The rodent knocks an adventurers steel helmet into the path of the bullet which then ricochets back in your direction before striking you in the chest.
You look down at the bullet hole and mouth "What the hell...?" before collapsing dead.
Your quest has failed.

I think that is everyone, please let me know if I missed anyone out.
