I noticed in the Fighting Fantasy books that the correct route generally takes longer than the incorrect route, and this is very noticeable here. Okay, in situations like this you generally have teams working on the products, however the employee does not get the glory, the company and the executive does.Īnyway, back to the book. Who invented the Iphone? Was it Steve Jobs or was it the Apple employees. However, the employer will see all of the profits and reap all of the glory for this work of this individual. Take for instance the employed researcher who invents a revolutionary product will not necessarily see any reward beyond her (or his) weekly pay.

This actually happens all the time, even in our days.

In a way this first part highlights the brutality of the medieval world, a world were life is cheap and powerful men claim the glory off of the hard labour of his slaves. The first part of the book involves you surviving the slave pits on the Island of Blood, and if you manage to do so you are rewarded with a chance to attempt to explore Deathtrap Dungeon. Fortunately he gets it in then neck at the end. Obviously this guy is some sort of wet sock simply because he does not seem to be willing to risk his life to venture into the dungeon, but is more than happy to take the glory off of his chosen champion. You do not begin as some free adventurer trying his (or her) luck in the underground labyrinth but rather you are a slave who has been thrown in there against his will so that your owner might receive the prestige and the glory of the victory. Thus the Baron of Fang (I am not going to attempt to spell his name, and I am too lazy to look it up) has to go to all of the trouble of creating a new dungeon with new traps, tricks, and monsters. I guess the idea is that nobody is supposed to know how to get through Deathtrap Dungeon so when somebody manages to do it then suddenly all of the thrill of the dungeon (as well as all of the monsters having been killed) has worn off. Here we return to Deathtrap Dungeon, which has been completely overhauled after some lucky (or skilful) adventurer managed to complete it a couple of years previously.
