Knights of DoomSkill=11 Stamina=14 Luck=9 I allocated the dice. Otherwise my initial stats would have been Skill=7, Stamina=20, Luck=7. One attempt. Didn't use a guide. Fights Won (15) Spectral Knight Assassin's Dagger (I won two consecutive attack rounds in order to escape) Hooded Attacker Great Boar Thornbeast Cleric First Murderer Seconded Murderer (fended him off while fighting the other two, then caught and instantly killed him) Third Murderer Mummers' Dragon Knight (two rounds) Witch (two rounds) Horsehead (two rounds) Pickpocket (two rounds) Oddfellow (two rounds) Clues I heard two verses of the Ballad of Sir Rhyaddan. I seem to make the same mistake every few years. For some reason, I never remember that you can't use the Cleric's Talisman against the Darkthorn. I was killed again by the Darkthorn when I attempted to use it.

Lords of Stone Skill 9 Stamina 17 Luck 8
Items: Potion of Fortune, Griffon Shield, Potion of Skill, Salve of Healing, Ring of Stamina, Rope, Green Jewel, Silver Arrow x2, Bow, Silver Key, Iron Key x2, Hooded Cloak, Snattacat Boots, Charm of Learning
Kills: Cave Snake, Giant Spider, 1st Dark Elf, 2nd Dark Elf, 3rd Dark Elf, 1st Fire Sprite, 2nd Fire Sprite, 3rd Fire Sprite, 1st Giant Rat, 2nd Giant Rat, 3rd Giant Rat, 4th Giant Rat, King Rat, Fog Elemental, Cave Manticore, Boulder Beast, Mor Orthor Elemental Supreme
Doesn't count: 3 Ghouls, Mor Orthor, *Cave Manticore (again), **Rock Demon
*Either there is a mistake in the links somewhere, or I read the wrong paragraph as I ended up going through the cold corridor twice and fighting the Cave Manticore twice - and found 2 Iron Keys but they were at different locations.
No dice allocation, 1 attempt, used a guide when I found myself repeating sections but couldn't work out from it if or where I had gone wrong so just continued. This is why I discounted the Rock Demon as rereading that paragraph after checking the guide showed I had missed using the Iron Key but I didn't restore my Stamina and continued as if I had no more Runestones. I did try to play Knights of Doom for this round, but I guess am only a third of the way through it, so had to abandon the attempt as I'll never be finished in time.

To the best of my knowledge, the only mistake in the links is that sections 86 and 198 are the wrong way round, and that wouldn't have caused the repetition you mention.
I'm not sure where you went wrong, but AFAICT it's not possible to encounter the Giant Rats and the Giant Spider in the course of the same adventure.
ETA: After checking more thoroughly, I am now certain that you must have read a wrong paragraph. The Giant Spider and trio of Dark Elves are on one path, the Cave Snake, Giant Rats and King Rat are on a separate path, and there is no way of crossing from one to the other before they eventually converge at the cold corridor.

I think the only difference to my attempt the mistake caused was an extra 4 or 6 kills but the fairest thing to do would be not count my attempt for this round.

At the very least you deserve to get the attribute bonus, and as all indications are that your mistake didn't make it easier for you to win, I see no problem with awarding the victory bonus, either. You're out of the running for the 'most fights won' bonus, though.

Please state if you use a guide, if you allocate dice at character creation rather than taking them as they fall, or if you make more than one attempt at a book. Only combats which you win should be included in the list of enemies defeated.

Revenge of the Vampire Skill: 10 Stamina: 19 Luck: 12 Starting Faith: 9
Assigned stats: No Guide: Yes Attempts: 1
items: 10 provisions, 42 gold, magic sword, rope, ghoulbane, Harquar's notes (15), 2 flask of oil, skeleton key (13), magic gauntlets, unknown potion (11), red crystal heart (90), blackfire (130), magical chainmail (can lose AS boost to gain 10 stamina), Imperator
kills: Endrell, horned vampire bat, Sandar (3 rounds), 2 zombies, death imp, 2 giant ravens, 2 wolves, vampiric jelly, huge basilisk, goblin, Shevala, Carollar, zombie coach, 2 vampyres, bear trophy, glassblower, proto-zombie, ghoul pack, 2 imps, Doctor Verruckte, grand revenant, 2 ghouls, ghoul pack, zombie pack, corpse golem, cave wisp, ghoul pack, megaghoul, Katarina Heydrich, Reiner Heydrich
info: Ghoulcrypts. 5 knights of the thorn
An exhausting slog but I made it with a mere 5 stamina left to my name. It was heartbreaking to lose the round that I tried to cash Imperator's 8 damage on. Just for clarification, I did not use the blackfire on the megaghoul and fought it normally.

Phantoms of Fear One attempt, no guide, stats rolled in order. Killed by an Arctolyce. Stats, kills etc: Skill: 8/8 Stamina: 0/17 Luck: 6/9 Power: 16/15
Items: Starting stuff Stamina potion 3 provisions
Kills: WILD BOAR
Info: Wind, Water and Fire from left to right form the eye of the storm? Writeup: Well, those aren't some very good rolls. Here's hopping there's not much fighting to do in this one. This is another one I've not played before. Skimming the rules shows some important things: Power is used to cast spells and Do Things in dreams, Power can exceed the initial value, I should never try to cast spells in a dream, and I don't seem to start with any provisions. I also have a named sword, though whether it has any special properties or my character just named their sword is currently a mystery. Finally I have the standard choice of stat-restoring potion, of which I think I have to pick Stamina with my stats.
So my character wakes up, having dreamt a dream of prophecy, and sensing the enormity of the task immediately goes back to sleep. Sounds about right. I imagine anyone reading this is familiar with the book, but just in case, in this one you play as a wood elf with mystical dream powers, so going back to sleep is less 'ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away' than it might seem.
This new dream has some weird imagery. I'm not yet sure how much of this I'm supposed to be poring over for clues, how much is irrelevant 'weird dreams be weird, yo' text and how much might be things that only make sense in retrospect. In any case I'm given the choice of two paths and elect to pursue the more ominous one. The book seems to present this as a bad idea and I'm given the option to wake up, but power's my only good stat so if I can't even succeed at things in my dreams I'm probably not getting far in this one.
Oh hey, it's literally a 'do you have x amount of Power' check, and one that I pass! This doesn't seem to lead to much - what I assume is the big bad taunts me and then I'm presented with a 'did you read the rules properly' check when I'm asked if I want to cast a spell in the dream.
I shortly wake up, start setting out, and okay yeah I don't have any provisions because my character is an idiot. And then I get a blind choice of three directions. I sure hope I can't miss something critical by choosing wrong here! Anyway I choose west, as moving away from "Lake Nekros" seems like a good idea. I avoid some people, am told I'm heading in the right direction (so probably the wrong direction to go first), and my character finally realises that they're an idiot for not bringing food.
At this point I've seen several section numbers with a * after them, and one with a #. I'm curious what those will prove to be about, if I get that far. Anyway, the book basically has me have a random encounter. I roll No Encounter, and am able to scavenge a whole 3 provisions! From a 2d6 roll. Yeah I'm screwed.
Further on I kill a boar and steal its tusks, but apparently elves are vegetarian so that's all I can take. Next I'm presented with the most inane choice possible, which I'm really hoping has the right option hinted in a section I missed, because otherwise what the hell, Robin Waterfield?
I pick an option and promptly fall into a pit. The dice decide this barely hurts and - did I just see a crossword or something when flipping to the next sections? I suppose this *is* the weird book. Anyway, I sleep in a tree and dream of a tree devil trying to blind me. I choose to not struggle, reasoning that this is a dream, I can willpower myself to ignore it, and if I struggle and generally react as if it is real I might actually get blinded or something. It seems this was the right call. I walk a featureless plain for a while until a storm closes in on me, and once again stand my ground. I'm treated to some more weird imagery, something that might be a clue for later, and I gain 2 power points.
After waking up I'm given the option to go back to sleep or set out. While I strongly feel setting out is probably the correct choice, I don't want to pass up a chance to play to what seems to be my only strength, and go back to sleep. This just affords me a vision of the modern-day real world. Huh.
I'm given a choice of directions where I pick wrong and lose 1 luck for the trouble. This doesn't seem to be the same section number as if I'd chosen the other direction though, so maybe there's more to it than just that. Anyway, I'm attacked by a creature with better stats than me. I spend a power point to reduce it to 'basically still better stats than me but I've got a chance'. Nope, I land a single hit on it before mauling commences.
It was an interesting book, and one I definitely feel I need to have another go at soon. It felt like I ran afoul of blind choices again, but I'd have to withhold judgement until I've played it enough to know if some of those have hints in sections I missed (maybe the people I avoided set the pit trap and could have warned me about it, for example), and also if things like choosing the other directions from the start even matter. A shame I didn't get to see what the symbols after section numbers was about, though.

Armies of Death One attempt, stats rolled in order, no guide. Died before really getting anywhere. Stats etc: Died by accepting the hag's ring.
Skill 10/10 Stamina 23/23 Luck 8/9
710gp
Full starting complement of soldiers. Really rather short writeup: Hey, those are some pretty good stats! Shame it's an Ian Livingstone book and I'll probably run afoul of some instant death due to not knowing the right path, but hey. So the plot of this one is the evil Agglax, who is either a Zombie-Lord (first page inside cover preamble) or a Shadow Demon (actual introduction) is raising an army of undead, with its ranks swelling from the villages its pillaging. Though that part also comes from the first page preamble and the picture on the next page shows generic orcs-or-whatever, so who knows.
Anyway, as well as the standard stats I also start with a small army split into Warriors, Dwarves, Elves and Knights with varying numbers of each. There're rules for army combat which look like they're ever so slightly skewed in my favour, but that depends on how often one side or the other is outnumbered. If my army is wiped out, I die. I also start with 700 gold which I'm sure to lose immediately, no doubt.
Anyway, onto section 1. As I'm marching my army out of Fang, a particularly shabby man dressed as a sea captain offers to sail me & my troops down the river for 50 gold. I'm genuinely torn on this decision; I've a feeling taking the boat will cost me some soldiers, and potentially just skipping some encounters could make me auto-lose an Ian Livingstone book, but I still feel I should be taking it for some reason. Ehh, I can't just follow vague feelings especially when I'm fairly sure I'd lose soldiers on the boat. Marching on foot it is. I find some gold in a field and circumvent a marsh, before finding an instant death inside a hut. A bit sooner than I'd hoped but yeah that's about what I expected from an Ian Livingstone book.
I've started giving a bit of a summary of my thoughts after the books at the end of my writeups, but I really just don't have anything to say this time. I didn't actually own this one when it came up so I bought a copy online in time for this, so I guess that was worthwhile.

24 hours to get in results for week 9.
Not everybody who posted results for week 8 did so before the deadline. Checking the thread, I see that someone also missed the deadline in week 6, and got away with it. From week 10 I will be checking this more carefully, and penalising tardy entries by docking points.
Week 10 Talisman of Death (4 dice) Midnight Rogue (4 dice)
Please state if you use a guide, if you allocate dice at character creation rather than taking them as they fall, or if you make more than one attempt at a book. Only combats which you win should be included in the list of enemies defeated.

Midnight Rogue Skill: 11 Stamina: 20 Luck: 10 Skills: Spot Hidden, Sneak, Pick Pocket.
Assigned stats: No Guide: Yes Attempts: 1
items: 6 provisions, 31 gold, rope and grapnel, lock picks, L key, black hooded cloak, brandy (3 drinks, restore 2 stamina each), magic sword, bronze helmet, stone axe, throwing knife, obsidian disc kills: Bats, 2 skeletons, skeleton lord, animated corpse, possessor spirit, giant spider, crystal warrior, different crystal warrior info: 289 (Noose), 90 (Guild), 335 (House)
Even though the bronze helmet was totally useless, my slight skill advantage over the possessor spirit and crystal warriors saw me through to the end. The potion of fortune was 100% the right choice as the possessor spirit had me down to 5 luck before I killed it.

I totally missed the change in method for producing stats in Ascent of Darkness. I think I got it right last year but missed it this year.
I didn't think evilwizard was in the running for the closest to victory bonus for week 7 in addition to the victory bonus achieved for winning Lords of Stone. Does this mean we can earn a victory bonus for each adventure if we play both?
