  6. You failed the test. Now you must pay the price. [fail copy-protection quiz w/Ms. Peepers]
  7. Grues eat well tonight. [stick around in a dark place—e.g., hotel with lights off, going blind in forest, troll caverns]
  8. Proper operating procedures should be followed. [operate the incinerator controls incorrectly]
  9. That much hay makes too much fire. [burn large hay inside the barn]

  15. You are a mallard. [let Canuk turn you into a duck]
  16. You're minced meat. [get eaten by shark in model ship]

  30. USED?

  32.  
  33. FLOPPY ONLY?
  34. Raging white water rapids drown your sorrows. [per @jeffzebert4982 on youtube: "There IS one death that's missing from the CD-ROM version of "Return to Zork" because, unlike the floppy disk version of "Return to Zork", the CD-ROM version will play a video cutscene of your river raft journey, which automatically ends with your character clambering up to the half-bridge in West Shanbar. In the floppy disk version, you have the option of staying on the river past said half-bridge. If you do, then you'll be treated to a white-water rapids-related death."]
  35.  
  36. POSSIBLY UNUSED:
  37. You're no threat and he turns you to stone.
  38. Your decaying body will nourish Nature.
  39. You sure put those rapids on the map.
