Here's an interesting one:
True, you're not supposed to keep going, but has anyone done so anyway?

I find it interesting that you brought up this entry. To my recollection, this is the only time in the Lone Wolf series where you can fail and still survive. I got to this entry once, and started the book again, keeping whatever I had found in my previous trip. I thought of it as a "Springtime safari to Kalte" taken after the pack-ice melted a few months later. Funny how the guides the second time around had the same names, and even looked like the former guides! I thought for sure they'd perished. . . Does anyone else know of other places in the books where you can fail but survive?

Well, there is the one where the Kazim Stone only drives you insane, but that's probably not what you meant. Oh, there are two places I know of where your corpse is preserved perfectly; maybe future Magnamund wizards or scientists (I know Dever and the guy who wrote the Legends series disagreed on whether Magnamund would have a technological future; my thought is that they would not, because necessity is the mother of invention and magic already does everything) could revive you. There's the one I posted above, where you're frozen in Kalte, and there's the time in LW6 where that (SPOILER?) taxidermist drugs you and tests his new preservative on your body.

etc. Yes! I remember that one too. I had a feeling that was the one you meant. That one definitely left me with a very icky feeling in the pit of my stomach afterward, kind of like the way you feel after getting your first whiff of Baknar oil. . . Yeah, like you said, not really what I meant. Surviving to "fight another day," so to speak, was what I was wondering about.

But you get to wander the countryside as a lunatic, wielding a useless Staff and still seeking the Moonstone! How cool is that?
But yeah, I don't know why but I got a weird feeling from the LW6 ending too.
