Hmmm...this is getting interesting. I am not 100% sure about following the monkey, who knows he may just want to show you his friends at the jungle or even some bananas! BUT I trust that he may have something interesting to show, maybe a secret passage or some sort of treasure.
I say: Follow the monkey.
Follow the monkey. Not so sure a monkey has the reasoning ability to know that the hero is a friend or foe (kind of doubt that). But IF this monkey has this reasoning ability, then perhaps it might be useful.
Rather off topic, but...
And we surely will all die (or at least one of us). Wondering why you entertained such a foolhardy lot. |
I cannot help but believe we were to save the monkey in the beginning. However, I think that that was a test to determine if we were basically good or bad and will lead us in that direction. We shall see...
Plus, if we get stuck in the jungle, the monkey is dinner!

UPDATE 3
I wonder if monkey tastes good... Ahem, anyway, let's follow the monkey.

Something is clearly amiss for the monkey to become so excited. You heft the rock he was sitting on and hurl it through the undergrowth in the direction you had originally intended to go. It lands with a dull plop and soon sinks from view. If you had not heeded the monkey's warning you would have blundered straight into a patch of deadly quicksand! As you continue on your way, he runs alongside you and shows you the path of firm ground that takes you safely past the treacherous quicksand. With your new companion, whom you decide to call Minki, you head onwards through the jungle. After a little while you come to a trail of sorts, presumably beaten through the thick tropical undergrowth by the savage natives of the region. Although you hope to avoid any encounter with them, your hand never strays far from your sword hilt. The trail soon brings you to a lichen-stained boulder sculpted to resemble a squatting figure with features that are both fierce and less-than-human. This weathered statue is clearly not the work of the natives. It has stood here for thousands of years and is a relic of the Ancient Empire of the Katak theocracy. Your knowledge of archaeology is limited, but if you read certain glyphs and baroque flourishes correctly then this statue marks the grave of an Anku nobleman. Possibly the treasure that would have been interred with him still remains undisturbed to this day. Will you try to push the statue aside and open the grave (turn to 140), or will you press on towards the lost temple (turn to 31)? |
Straight to the temple. We can always come back and search the grave marker. But if it's booby trapped, we stop before we even get to our main goal.
Probably best not to disturb the grave site....might upset someone! Off to the temple.
Rather off topic, but... OH...by the way...monkey brains are a delicacy in some countries. Not that I have tried them! |
