ClubFloyd Transcript:
Adventurers Consumer Guide by Øyvind Thorsby

As played on ifMUD on September 25, 2010

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Adventurers Consumer Guide, written by Øyvind Thorsby. Adventurers Consumer Guide was originally released in 2007. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the ifWiki.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | Adventurer's Consumer Guide
Floyd | You are a product tester for the Adventurer's Consumer Guide, a
Floyd | magazine that reviews all sorts of equipment an adventurer might need
Floyd | for his adventures. Your magazine is highly respected because of the
Floyd | thorough tests you put the equipment through. The tests aren't just
Floyd | done at the magazine's offices. No, the product testers go on actual
Floyd | adventures to test the equipment out in the field. Sometimes you kill
Floyd | an evil overlord; sometimes you rescue a fair maiden. Most of the time,
Floyd | like today, you just go out looking for a treasure in Treasure Cave
Floyd | Mountain, a perfect place for adventures as it contains plenty of
Floyd | caves, treasures, monsters and traps.
Floyd |
Floyd | As you are putting on the soon-to-be-tested magical coat, magical ring
Floyd | and magical helmet, your editor says, "On this mission you'll be having
Floyd | a helper with you."
Floyd | "Really?" you say. You usually work alone.
Floyd | "Yeah, but it's part of a test. See, there's this new agency that is
Floyd | renting out sidekicks. We are going to write a review about it. Oh,
Floyd | here he is now."
Floyd | Into your office walks a goblin: a green humanoid creature with pointy
Floyd | ears, about a meter tall. "Hi, you must be my new boss," he says to
Floyd | you.
Floyd | "I guess I am. What is it you're supposed to do, exactly?"
Floyd | "Well, I'm very brave and helpful, plus I'm a ferocious killing
Floyd | machine. If you see any kind of monster, or anything at all, and you
Floyd | want it killed, just tell me, and it's toast."
Floyd | "Okay... well, I think we should get going."
Floyd |
Floyd | You and your new companion are off to Treasure Cave Mountain. Your
Floyd | mission is to return with one really big treasure. Any really big
Floyd | treasure.
Floyd |
Floyd | If you are unfamiliar with interactive fiction, type HELP.
Floyd | If you care, type CREDITS.
Floyd | In this game you can't examine things. Instead use either "look" to see
Floyd | descriptions of the things in the room you are in, or "inventory" to
Floyd | see descriptions of what you are carrying. You also can't use "look
Floyd | inside", "look under", "look behind", "look <direction>" or "search".
Floyd | But you can use "read".
Floyd | To see your inventory without the long descriptions of all you are
Floyd | carrying, type: "inventory short". Or simply: "i s". Or simply: "is".
Floyd | No time passes when you use "look" or "inventory".
Floyd | You communicate by "talk to [whatever]", or by giving commands in this
Floyd | format: "goblin, give me the cow-o-meter".
Floyd | It is possible to put this game in an unwinnable state, but you should
Floyd | be able to figure out when this has happened.
Floyd | Should you wish to re-read the above information during the game, type
Floyd | ABOUT.

Floyd | On a mountain ledge
Floyd | A narrow mountain ledge leading west (where you came from) and east. To
Floyd | the north is a tall mountain wall and to the south a long drop.
Floyd | Very far to the east, near the end of the ledge, a huge monster is
Floyd | crouching. Its green skin is scaly, its body is bloated like a balloon,
Floyd | its four feet have long terrible claws, its wide mouth has thousands of
Floyd | sharp teeth and on top of its head is a cluster of about fifty bulging
Floyd | eyes as big as your head.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see the goblin sidekick here.
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "goblin, kill me"
Floyd | >Before you have a chance to say anything you get a nasty electric
Floyd | shock from your helmet. You hear a calm pleasant female voice in your
Floyd | head: "It wouldn't be very heroic to ask somebody else to do your
Floyd | fighting for you."
Floyd |
inky exclaims, " ha ha" inky says, "er"
Gerynar Nature, in fact, abhors a lot of things, including vacuums, ships named Marie Celeste, the chuck keys to electric drills, and at this moment, Gerynar being in the lounge.
Gerynar has disconnected. eladnarra asks, "hm. inventory, then?"
DavidW says, "please do"
DavidW says, "(Use: f command )"
DavidW says, "Um, I've already played this. I hope someone will give a command to Floyd."
eladnarra says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd | >The new magical sword from Adventurer's Emporium. According to the
Floyd | commercial it will start to vibrate when you are close to danger.
Floyd | A mail-ordered short metal staff with a clear orb on the end. Its
Floyd | manufacturers say the staff will remove any creature that comes in
Floyd | contact with the orb. Inside the orb you can see a small unmoving
Floyd | cluster of turquoise tentacles.
Floyd | A Remmingheim Supreme crossbow, loaded with an arrow. The Supreme model
Floyd | is supposed to have a special feature. When you shoot it, the arrow
Floyd | will magically return, and the crossbow will be loaded again. The hard,
Floyd | razor-sharp arrow is protruding a good ten centimeters from the front
Floyd | of the crossbow.
Floyd | "The Ultimate Creature Manual" by Arthur Hippoman. According to the
Floyd | back it contains information about every single monster in the world,
Floyd | and how to defend yourself against them. It is suspiciously thin.
Floyd | A small cage. It is closed and locked with a code-lock (You know the
Floyd | code.). A gremlin, a small green humanoid creature with pointy ears, is
Floyd | trapped inside. He is wearing a tiny ring. He is smoking a tiny
Floyd | cigarette. His thin arms are sticking through the bars of the cage, and
Floyd | he is fiddling with the code-lock, trying one combination at a time.
Floyd |
Floyd | You are wearing:
Floyd | A Hustlespleen & Poe Coat of Invisibility, though at the moment it
Floyd | looks like an ordinary, long, brown, coat. It is supposed to turn
Floyd | invisible (or turn visible again) whenever you say the magic word
Floyd | "tango".
Floyd | A Super Champion Helmet fastened with a strap under your chin. It is
Floyd | round and made of thin metal. It is supposed to magically turn you into
Floyd | a hero.
Floyd | On your finger is a Snuffelburg & Co. Type F Magical Ring. It is red
Floyd | and golden. It is supposed to protect you from any magical rays, by
Floyd | moving the effect of the ray away from you and onto the gremlin, which
Floyd | is wearing a smaller, magically connected, ring.
Floyd | A pair of red boxer shorts, decorated with tiny teddy-bears dressed as
Floyd | sailors. They are not something you are supposed to test; they are your
Floyd | own.

Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "shoot crossbow at goblin"
Floyd | >(the goblin sidekick)
Floyd | Before you have a chance to do it, you get a nasty electrical shock
Floyd | from your helmet. You hear a calm pleasant female voice in your head:
Floyd | "It wouldn't be very heroic to go around shooting creatures."
Floyd |
inky says, "this helmet sucks"
inky says (to Floyd), "x helmet"
Floyd | >In this game you can't examine things. Instead use either "look" to

Floyd | But you can use "read".
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "remove helmet"
Floyd | >You try to remove the helmet, but it is stuck. The strap under your
Floyd | chin is too tight.
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "cut strap with arrow"
Floyd | >You cut the strap with the arrow, and pull off the helmet.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by one point.]
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "shoot crossbow at goblin"
Floyd | >(the goblin sidekick)
Floyd | You pull the trigger. The arrow magically returns to the crossbow and
Floyd | the crossbow is loaded again. Huh? That happened fast. The arrow did
Floyd | not even have time to leave the crossbow entirely! In fact, it barely
Floyd | moved!
Floyd |
inky says, "ha ha"
eladnarra says, "oh dear :D"
djfletch says (to Floyd), "read book"
Floyd | >You must say what page to read, like "read page 1" or "read 1"

Floyd | ammunition.

Floyd | The first depicts a large man punching a small man. The second a large
Floyd | man pushing a small man. The third a large man giving a small man a
Floyd | wedgie. There are many more with similar motifs. You have seen runes
Floyd | like this before. They mean that this is an altar of Snurgelfjekk, the
Floyd | cat-headed god of bullies. At the center of the altar is a larger, more
Floyd | detailed rune. It depicts the altar and two people. One of the people
Floyd | is playing a saxophone. The other is putting something on the altar;
Floyd | you can't quite make out what it is supposed to be. Lines are coming
Floyd | out in all directions from the altar, perhaps representing light or
Floyd | heat.

Floyd | Spacious cave
Floyd | This cave has an exit leading outside to the south, or you can go

Floyd | A burly barbarian is leaning against a wall, his arms crossed over his
Floyd | naked chest, a grim expression on his face. A long sabre is in his
Floyd | belt.
Floyd | A tough-looking dwarf, wearing chain mail and a helmet, is sitting on
Floyd | the floor. He is holding an axe almost as big as himself. He is smoking
Floyd | a pipe.
Floyd | A muscular white horse and a mangy donkey stand here.

Floyd | The new magical sword from Adventurer's Emporium is here. According to

Floyd | This cave has an exit southeast to the outside, or you could go further

Floyd | A somewhat larger than life-size statue of his holiness One-Hand Jack
Floyd | stands in the middle of the cave. Jack used to be an infamous pirate,
Floyd | but later formed Hoverism, a peaceful religion. The statue holds its
Floyd | left arm out and up, the hook at the end of it just low enough to be
Floyd | reached.
Floyd | An old Hoverist is hovering about a meter above the floor. He is
Floyd | sitting in the lotus position, his head is turned towards the statue,
Floyd | and his eyes are closed. He is wearing a white loincloth.

Floyd | >"What are you doing?" you ask.
Floyd | The Hoverist opens his eyes and looks at you. "I am trying to reach the
Floyd | forty-seventh stage of Hoverism. I can teach you about Hoverism if you
Floyd | like. The first stage is to be able to hover. You have to figure out
Floyd | how to do that for yourself. Once you know how to hover come talk to me
Floyd | again, and I will teach you the second stage."
Floyd |
djfletch says (to Floyd), "hover"
Floyd | >You don't know how to do that. Maybe there is some way to fake it.

inky says, "I think something with the invisibility cloak"
inky says (to Floyd), "talk to hoverist"

Floyd | "Hey old guy," you say "look at me! I am hovering!"
Floyd | The Hoverist looks at you and says, "Excellent, albeit a very strange
Floyd | and dangling hovering technique. I will now teach you the second stage
Floyd | of Hoverism: Facing pain."
Floyd |
Floyd | The Hoverist spends some time teaching you how to face pain. You will
Floyd | still feel the pain, but you are no longer afraid of it.

Floyd | under the hole, is a pile of hay.
Floyd | A short lever with a handle sticks out from a wall. The handle has a
Floyd | thin, wide gap, large enough for the fingers of one hand to go through.
Floyd | A metallic pyramid, about half a meter high, sticks up from the cave
Floyd | floor. You once tested a hundred different teleporters, and you
Floyd | recognize the pyramid as one of the safest and least complicated
Floyd | models. To use it you just stand on it and shake the lever repeatedly.
Floyd | This particular teleporter seems badly designed though: the lever is
Floyd | far away from it, almost on the other side of the cave.
Floyd |
Floyd | Up from the lever sticks the new magical sword from Adventurer's
Floyd | Emporium. According to the commercial it will start to vibrate when you
Floyd | are close to danger. It is shaking like crazy, but not enough to shake
Floyd | the lever.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a cage (which is closed) (in which is a gremlin) and the
Floyd | goblin sidekick here.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword goes even crazier and starts thrashing like a headless
Floyd | chicken on drugs.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword makes the lever shake. There comes a low humming sound from
Floyd | the teleporter.
Floyd |
Floyd | The gremlin picks up a small rock from the ground. He smashes the
Floyd | code-lock with it and jumps out of the cage. Then he runs giggling
Floyd | through the southwest exit.
Floyd |
djfletch says, "dammit, lost the gremlin again"
eladnarra says, "damn gremlin"
djfletch says, "maybe we should have given him to the goblin"
DavidW says, "The gremlin, alas, can't be kept locked up. It was inevitable. Dropping him or teleporting with him will free him."

Floyd | "I know him," says the gremlin. "He had me trapped in a cage. He is one
Floyd | of them adventurers. He goes around killing monsters."
Floyd | "What?!" shouts the woman.
Floyd | "Yeah," says the gremlin "And he once said he thought genies were a
Floyd | bunch of overrated powerless second-class ghosts."
Floyd | "Did he now?" says the genie.
Floyd | The gremlin turns to the hippoman and says, "He also told me hippomen
Floyd | stink and that you were a tub of lard!"
Floyd | The hippoman snorts angrily. He, the woman and the genie approach you.
Floyd | The hippoman punches you in the stomach saying "You disgusting human!"
Floyd | The woman hits you in the head with her placard shouting, "Go away, you
Floyd | monster molester!" The genie lifts you up by the neck with one icy
Floyd | hand, and throws you down on the floor. The three go away from you
Floyd | muttering angrily. The gremlin giggles as you get up.

inky says, "wow, what the hell"
djfletch says, "complicated room"
Jacqueline exclaims, "Sigh. I think I shall leave. I have mostly been getting this in ginormous text dumps due to excessive lag. I am quite sad to be missing the last Floyd of the pre-Comp season. Have fun, though!"
Jacqueline says, "I shall see you all after the IF Comp. We'll resume... on... the 20th of November, I guess."
inky says, "we could sharpen the dagger in that machine if it didn't kill us to take the dagger"

Floyd | to rob a poor defenseless hippoman are you?" he says.
Floyd |
inky says, "er, right"
djfletch says (to Floyd), "talk to hippoman"
Floyd | >You try to explain, "The gremlin was lying. I have never said anything
Floyd | bad about hippomen."
Floyd | The hippoman snorts angrily. "Why should I believe a hippohater like
Floyd | you?"
Floyd |
djfletch says (to Floyd), "talk to woman"
Floyd | >You ask, "Why are you trying to save the monsters anyway?"
Floyd | "Are you kidding? Don't you know that each year 40 species of monsters
Floyd | go extinct because of adventurers?"

Floyd | swinging his sabre. You jump back. The genie says, "That is my chest!"
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "x chest"
Floyd | >In this game you can't examine things. Instead use either "look" to
Floyd | see descriptions of the things in the room you are in, or "inventory"
Floyd | to see descriptions of what you are carrying. You also can't use "look

Floyd | >You shout as loud as you can.
Floyd |
Floyd | Rocks start falling from the ceiling. A couple of small ones hit you.
Floyd | "My head! My beautiful head!" the hippoman cries as a rock hits him.
Floyd | The goblin runs around in circles in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid
Floyd | the rocks. The genie looks pretty annoyed as a big rock bounces off his
Floyd | head. "Oh, won't somebody protect my beautiful head," the hippoman
Floyd | cries as another rock hits him. The woman holds the placard over her,
Floyd | and some rocks bounce off it. The gremlin dodges a rock by quickly
Floyd | crawling horizontally along the wall.
Floyd |
Floyd | The hippoman sighs. "If only there existed some sort of device that
Floyd | could prevent rocks from falling on my head all the time," he says.
Floyd |
dsimon says (to Floyd), "give helmet to hippoman"
Floyd | >The hippoman takes the helmet and manages to squeeze it down on his
Floyd | big head. "Don't think this means I have forgiven you," he says.

Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "get grail"
Floyd | >As you are about to take it, the hippoman approaches you angrily. He
Floyd | lifts his hand as if to hit you, but suddenly stops and yelps. He looks
Floyd | startled for a moment. Then he tries to tear off the helmet, but it is
Floyd | stuck. You pick up the grail. Suddenly you feel a terrible pain in your
Floyd | hand, and you drop the grail. You hear somebody hissing, and look
Floyd | around. It is the gremlin. He is stabbing his cigarette into his own
Floyd | hand. He is clearly in pain. He removes the cigarette from his hand,
Floyd | and the pain in your hand disappears. He puts the cigarette back in his
Floyd | mouth and laughs at you.
Floyd |
inky says, "ha ha"
inky says (to Floyd), "remove ring"
Floyd | >The ring is stuck on your finger.
Floyd |
inky says, "grr"
dsimon asks, "Wait, wasn't the ring supposed to transfer magical attacks? Is it a magical cigarette burn?"
DavidW says, "It seems to transfer both ways."
djfletch says, "so we could stick our hand in the oven maybe"
djfletch says, "or, the runes on the altar had rays of some sort coming out of it"
DavidW says, "heat or light, it said."
DavidW says, "That was just what you thought the ray-runes meant, though. There wasn't any actual heat or light there."

Floyd | A stone table stands in the middle of the cave. Round it stands a stone

Floyd | stool with a short troll, and a large stone. The trolls look a bit like
Floyd | humans made of stone, though with no necks, bigger jaws, smaller eyes

Floyd | A small round stage stands close to the table. It is apparently made
Floyd | from human faces frozen in terrible screams.
Floyd | A small flamingo-headed man sits behind the table in a

Floyd | is wearing a jester's suit, including a ridiculous hat with bells on.
Floyd | He is staring at the pink cube.
Floyd | An armadillo-headed woman in a white toga sits next to him on a

dsimon says (to Floyd), "take grail"
Floyd | >You try to take the grail, but the flamingo-headed man notices it. He

Floyd | around its tail. The fish is much larger than the man's chest, and
Floyd | almost larger than the man. The man slaps you in the face with the
Floyd | fish. Then, giggling, he puts it back in his chest. "It's my grail," he

Johnny says (to inky), "Good question."
DavidW says, "To take a huge treasure from the cave."
DavidW says, "(This was said at the beginning.)"
djfletch says, "we have seen a couple of grails, and a big diamond that we can't carry"
DavidW says, "The grails are small treasures. A big diamond that we can't carry counts as huge."
djfletch says, "sounds reasonable"

Floyd | There are five gold coins in the chest. You quickly grab them before
Floyd | running towards the ladder. You hear something behind you. With one
Floyd | foot on the ladder you turn your head. It's the hatch; it has opened,
Floyd | revealing a female goblin peeking through. She is holding the Royal
Floyd | crossbow. "If you were going to hide my stuff, you should at least have
Floyd | had the brains to close the garbage can," she says, before shooting you

Floyd | is fat, purple and has two very thick legs. He is wearing your helmet.
Floyd | A young angry-looking woman stands holding a large placard saying "Save

Floyd |
Floyd | Voluminous cave
Floyd | This cave has an exit to the east. In the middle of the floor is a
Floyd | round hole.
Floyd | A huge dead monster lies here, its four feet in the air. It has a
Floyd | stupid-looking face on a round gray hairless body. Its tiny eyes stare
Floyd | at nothing. The upper half of a dead pointy-eared elf is sticking out
Floyd | of its mouth. It looks like the monster choked on the elf. The elf is
Floyd | wearing a backpack.
Floyd |
Floyd | The goblin reluctantly walks in from the east, throwing several glances
Floyd | over his shoulder.
Floyd |
dsimon says (to Floyd), "d"
Floyd | >You jump down the hole. You land in a pile of hay. You hear someone
Floyd | shouting, "Wheeeeeee!" and you look up. The goblin is falling right
Floyd | towards you. You quickly roll to the side, and the goblin lands in the
Floyd | hay. You two get up.
Floyd |
Floyd | Vast cave
Floyd | This cave has an exit leading outside to the southwest. In the middle
Floyd | of the ceiling, high above you, is a round hole. On the floor, directly
Floyd | under the hole, is a pile of hay.
Floyd | A short lever with a handle sticks out from a wall. The handle has a
Floyd | thin, wide gap, large enough for the fingers of one hand to go through.
Floyd | A metallic pyramid, about half a meter high, sticks up from the cave
Floyd | floor. You once tested a hundred different teleporters, and you
Floyd | recognize the pyramid as one of the safest and least complicated
Floyd | models. To use it you just stand on it and shake the lever repeatedly.
Floyd | This particular teleporter seems badly designed though: the lever is
Floyd | far away from it, almost on the other side of the cave.
Floyd |
Floyd | Up from the lever sticks the new magical sword from Adventurer's
Floyd | Emporium. According to the commercial it will start to vibrate when you
Floyd | are close to danger. It is shaking like crazy, but not enough to shake
Floyd | the lever.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see the goblin sidekick and a cage here.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword goes even crazier and starts thrashing like a headless
Floyd | chicken on drugs.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword makes the lever shake. There comes a low humming sound from
Floyd | the teleporter.

Floyd | On a mountain ledge
Floyd | The end of a narrow mountain ledge leading west. The tall mountain wall
Floyd | has three caves: to the northwest, north and northeast.
Floyd |
Floyd | The goblin comes running after you.

Floyd | Spacious cave
Floyd | This cave has an exit leading outside to the south, or you can go
Floyd | further into the mountain to the north.
Floyd | A burly barbarian is leaning against a wall, his arms crossed over his
Floyd | naked chest, a grim expression on his face. A long sabre is in his
Floyd | belt.
Floyd | A tough-looking dwarf, wearing chain mail and a helmet, is sitting on
Floyd | the floor. He is holding an axe almost as big as himself. He is smoking
Floyd | a pipe.
Floyd | A muscular white horse and a mangy donkey stand here.
Floyd |
Floyd | The goblin comes running after you.
Floyd |
dsimon says (to Floyd), "n"
Floyd | >
Floyd | Gigantic cave
Floyd | An extremely bright light comes from an exit to the north. There is
Floyd | also an exit to the south.
Floyd | A red automat, hundred of meters tall, stands in the middle of the
Floyd | cave. Despite the insane magnitude of the machine, its money-slot and
Floyd | buttons are normal-sized and placed at normal height. The
Floyd | merchandise-slot is also close to the floor, but huge enough to hold a
Floyd | horse. You have come across these automats before. Several companies
Floyd | have recently begun placing them in dangerous places, for adventurers
Floyd | who need equipment. They are easy to use; just buy something. Something
Floyd | is written on the automat next to the buttons.
Floyd | A stone altar stands up against a wall. It is low, shadowy,
Floyd | bloodstained and has runes written on it. Next to it is a huge pile of
Floyd | fish bones.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the altar you can see:
Floyd | A sluggish fish. Its eyes are white and have no pupils. It is crawling
Floyd | around.
Floyd |
Floyd | The goblin comes running after you.

Floyd | Huge cave
Floyd | This cave has exits to the north, east, south and west.
Floyd | A stone pedestal as tall as you stands in a corner. A knife is planted

Floyd | tremendous light shines out from it and fills the entire cave.

Floyd | Bumper cave
Floyd | An extremely bright light comes from an exit to the west. There is
Floyd | another exit to the northeast. Someone has chiseled gaps into the cave
Floyd | wall, forming a primitive ladder leading up to a hole in the ceiling.
Floyd | A table made from human skulls stands near the northeast exit. On the
Floyd | table stands a shimmering pink translucent cube and a small, rusty,
Floyd | holy grail.
Floyd | A small round stage stands close to the table. It is apparently made
Floyd | from human faces frozen in terrible screams.
Floyd | A small flamingo-headed man sits behind the table in a
Floyd | comfortable-looking armchair covered in obviously fake giraffe fur. He
Floyd | is wearing a jester's suit, including a ridiculous hat with bells on.
Floyd | He is staring at the pink cube.
Floyd | An armadillo-headed woman in a white toga sits next to him on a
Floyd | barstool made from green shimmering flames. She is reading a thick
Floyd | brown book called "Practical Tests of Existentialism".
Floyd | A cat-headed man sits next to her on a throne draped in black leather,
Floyd | with numerous spikes sticking out of it. He is tall, fat and dressed in
Floyd | a black leather jacket, black jeans and black leather boots.
Floyd |
Floyd | The goblin comes running after you.
Floyd |
Floyd | There is a flickering image inside the cube. The flamingo-headed man
Floyd | giggles and says, "Some guy in Russia just stepped on a beehive."

Floyd | Titanic cave
Floyd | This cave has a hole in the floor. On the south wall is a small round
Floyd | metal hatch. It is closed.
Floyd | In the middle of the room stands a stone pedestal, on which is attached
Floyd | A HUGE IMPORTANT WARNING SIGN! On top of the pedestal stands a metal
Floyd | chest. It is closed.
Floyd |
Floyd | The goblin comes climbing up from the hole.
Floyd |
dsimon says (to Floyd), "open chest"
Floyd | >You open the chest. There comes a terrible ringing sound. An alarm!
Floyd | There are five gold coins in the chest. You quickly grab them before
Floyd | running towards the ladder. You hear something behind you. With one
Floyd | foot on the ladder you turn your head. It's the hatch; it has opened,
Floyd | revealing a female goblin peeking through. She is holding your Supreme
Floyd | crossbow. It is aimed right at you. She fires. Almost instantly, before
Floyd | it has even left the crossbow completely, the arrow returns to the bow.
Floyd | "What?" says the goblin lady. She fires again. The arrow returns again.
Floyd | Startled the lady fires again and again. She begins to swear. You laugh
Floyd | and climb down.

Floyd | stool with a short troll, and a large stone. The trolls look a bit like
Floyd | humans made of stone, though with no necks, bigger jaws, smaller eyes

Floyd | "Ur, there are thirteen cards in the deck," says the tall troll.
Floyd | "Ur, the ace of rocks is the highest," says the short troll.
Floyd | "Ur, that is weird. The ace only have one rock," says the old troll.
Floyd | "Ur, maybe it's a trick to fool stupid players," says the tall troll.
Floyd | "Ur, yeah. The stupid players think they can't win when they get the
Floyd | ace," says the old troll.
Floyd | "Ur, everybody looks at their card," says the short troll.
Floyd | "Ur, if anybody asks you what card you have, it's a trick," says the
Floyd | tall troll.
Floyd | "Ur, so don't tell them," says the old troll.
Floyd | "Ur, then we bet," says the tall troll.
Floyd | "Ur, if I have bet three, you can't bet two," says the short troll.
Floyd | "Ur, you can't bet one either," says the old troll.

Floyd | troll.
Floyd | "Ur, the one that betted the highest," says the old troll.

Floyd | An extremely bright light comes from an exit to the north. There is

Floyd | A red automat, hundred of meters tall, stands in the middle of the
Floyd | cave. Despite the insane magnitude of the machine, its money-slot and
Floyd | buttons are normal-sized and placed at normal height. The
Floyd | merchandise-slot is also close to the floor, but huge enough to hold a

Floyd | have recently begun placing them in dangerous places, for adventurers
Floyd | who need equipment. They are easy to use; just buy something. Something
Floyd | is written on the automat next to the buttons.
Floyd | A stone altar stands up against a wall. It is low, shadowy,
Floyd | bloodstained and has runes written on it. Next to it is a huge pile of

Floyd | A somewhat larger than life-size statue of his holiness One-Hand Jack
Floyd | stands in the middle of the cave. Jack used to be an infamous pirate,
Floyd | but later formed Hoverism, a peaceful religion. The statue holds its
Floyd | left arm out and up, the hook at the end of it just low enough to be

Floyd | An old Hoverist is hovering about a meter above the floor. He is
Floyd | sitting in the lotus position, his head is turned towards the statue,
Floyd | and his eyes are closed. He is wearing a white loincloth.

Floyd | for somebody to crawl down into.
Floyd | A shoal of small fish crawls around on the floor. They look creepy.

Floyd | This is a tight tiny room formed between the safe and the uneven floor.
Floyd | You can barely move. Unfortunately the safe seems to be just as solid

Floyd | The goblin crawls in with you. Your bodies are pushed together. "This

Floyd | The goblin sidekick vanishes.
Floyd |
Floyd | There is a most horrible sound like two carriages filled with drum sets
Floyd | crashing at full speed, whilst a million cows pull a million feet up
Floyd | from a swamp. There is a terrible feeling of being thrown. And there is
Floyd | pain. Lots and lots of pain. You lie still, waiting for the pain to
Floyd | subside. It doesn't.
Floyd |
Floyd | Wearily you open your eyes. Turquoise. That's all you can see. It takes
Floyd | a moment before you realize that something covers your eyes. Slowly you
Floyd | lift your arm (pain, pain, pain) and wipe your face (pain, pain, pain).
Floyd | It is turquoise sludge that covers your face. And your arm. And, you
Floyd | notice, the rest of your body. You are lying in a pool of the stuff.
Floyd | Looking around a bit you notice you have been thrown into another cave.
Floyd | You open your mouth and spit out some sludge. It is very silent. In
Floyd | fact you cannot hear a sound. Wait a moment. You twist your head to the
Floyd | side (pain, pain, pain) and sludge pours out of your ear. You can hear
Floyd | a dripping sound coming from the southeast.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Note to self," you think. "Do not transport a very large monster into
Floyd | a very small space, when simultaneously occupying that space."
Floyd |
Floyd | You start trying to get up (PAIN, PAIN, PAIN). You stop trying to get
Floyd | up. You have noticed a piece of metal sticking out of your shoulder.
Floyd | You carefully pull it out. After a moment it dawns on you; this is a
Floyd | piece of the safe. Looking closer at your body you see quite a lot of
Floyd | other pieces of the safe sticking out from it. Enough to build a new
Floyd | small safe from, you estimate. Carefully you begin to pick out the
Floyd | pieces, one by one, and throw them away.
Floyd |
Floyd | You get up. You clean off the worst of the sludge. You start longing
Floyd | for a long hot bath. And a chiropractor appointment. You look around.
Floyd |
Floyd | Enormous cave
Floyd | The only exit from this cave is to the southeast.
Floyd | Some runes are written on the wall.

Floyd | another exit to the northeast. Someone has chiseled gaps into the cave
Floyd | wall, forming a primitive ladder leading up to a hole in the ceiling.
Floyd | A table made from human skulls stands near the northeast exit. On the
Floyd | table stands a shimmering pink translucent cube and a small, rusty,
Floyd | holy grail.
Floyd | A small round stage stands close to the table. It is apparently made
Floyd | from human faces frozen in terrible screams.
Floyd | A small flamingo-headed man sits behind the table in a
Floyd | comfortable-looking armchair covered in obviously fake giraffe fur. He
Floyd | is wearing a jester's suit, including a ridiculous hat with bells on.
Floyd | He is staring at the pink cube.
Floyd | An armadillo-headed woman in a white toga sits next to him on a
Floyd | barstool made from green shimmering flames. She is reading a slim gray
Floyd | book called "Schrodinger's Goldfish: Confirmation of Negative Time".
Floyd | A cat-headed man sits next to her on a throne draped in black leather,
Floyd | with numerous spikes sticking out of it. He is tall, fat and dressed in
Floyd | a black leather jacket, black jeans and black leather boots.
Floyd |
djfletch asks, "could it bring the elf back to life maybe?"
inky says (to Floyd), "hit flamingo with staff"
Floyd | >(the flamingo-headed man with the staff)
Floyd | You hit the flamingo-headed man with the staff. He giggles and says,
Floyd | "Magic doesn't work on gods."
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "shoot healing gun at flamingo"
Floyd | >(the flamingo-headed man)
Floyd | You pull the trigger. A white ray shoots out of the gun and hits the
Floyd | flamingo-headed man. Noting happens. He giggles and says, "Magic
Floyd | doesn't work on gods."
Floyd |
inky says, "hmm"
djfletch says, "or the monster that ate the elf"

Floyd | Huge cave
Floyd | This cave has exits to the north, east, south and west.
Floyd | A stone pedestal as tall as you stands in a corner. A knife is planted
Floyd | in it, hilt up.
Floyd |
Floyd | A diamond the size of your chest lies in the middle of the cave. A
Floyd | tremendous light shines out from it and fills the entire cave.

Floyd | >
Floyd | Gigantic cave
Floyd | An extremely bright light comes from an exit to the north. There is
Floyd | also an exit to the south.
Floyd | A red automat, hundred of meters tall, stands in the middle of the
Floyd | cave. Despite the insane magnitude of the machine, its money-slot and
Floyd | buttons are normal-sized and placed at normal height. The
Floyd | merchandise-slot is also close to the floor, but huge enough to hold a
Floyd | horse. You have come across these automats before. Several companies
Floyd | have recently begun placing them in dangerous places, for adventurers
Floyd | who need equipment. They are easy to use; just buy something. Something
Floyd | is written on the automat next to the buttons.
Floyd | A stone altar stands up against a wall. It is low, shadowy,
Floyd | bloodstained and has runes written on it. Next to it is a huge pile of
Floyd | fish bones.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the altar you can see:
Floyd | A sluggish fish. Its eyes are white and have no pupils. It is crawling
Floyd | around.
Floyd |
djfletch says (to Floyd), "s"
Floyd | >
Floyd | Spacious cave
Floyd | This cave has an exit leading outside to the south, or you can go
Floyd | further into the mountain to the north.
Floyd | A burly barbarian is leaning against a wall, his arms crossed over his
Floyd | naked chest, a grim expression on his face. A long sabre is in his
Floyd | belt.
Floyd | A tough-looking dwarf, wearing chain mail and a helmet, is sitting on
Floyd | the floor. He is holding an axe almost as big as himself. He is smoking
Floyd | a pipe.
Floyd | A muscular white horse and a mangy donkey stand here.
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "talk to barbarian"
Floyd | >(the barbarian)
Floyd | "What are you doing?" you ask.
Floyd | "Grirgr and the dwarf were sent to look for treasures. But Grirgr not
Floyd | stupid! He thinks, why risk our lives? So we wait here until somebody
Floyd | else finds treasure! Then we buy it!"
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "talk to dwarf"
Floyd | >"So, been here long?" you say. The dwarf nods.
Floyd |
DavidW says, "Also, the manual's barely been used."
djfletch says (to Floyd), "shoot healing gun at donkey"
Floyd | >You pull the trigger. A white ray shoots out of the gun and hits the
Floyd | donkey. It looks surprised. The barbarian says: "Look, the wound on the
Floyd | side of the donkey, the one it got from that giant slug, it is gone."
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "sell healing gun to barbarian"
Floyd | >(the barbarian)
Floyd | "That's not a proper treasure!"
Floyd |
dsimon says (to Floyd), "shoot barbarian with healing gun"
Floyd | >(the barbarian with the healing gun)
Floyd | You pull the trigger. A white ray shoots out of the gun and hits the
Floyd | barbarian. "Huh?" he says. He looks down at himself. "Grirgr's scars!
Floyd | They are gone! Darnit, they made Grirgr look really cool!"
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "sell fish to barbarian"

Floyd | The end of a narrow mountain ledge leading west. The tall mountain wall
Floyd | has three caves: to the northwest, north and northeast.

djfletch says (to Floyd), "ne"
Floyd | >
Floyd | Vast cave
Floyd | This cave has an exit leading outside to the southwest. In the middle
Floyd | of the ceiling, high above you, is a round hole. On the floor, directly
Floyd | under the hole, is a pile of hay.
Floyd | A short lever with a handle sticks out from a wall. The handle has a
Floyd | thin, wide gap, large enough for the fingers of one hand to go through.
Floyd | A metallic pyramid, about half a meter high, sticks up from the cave
Floyd | floor. You once tested a hundred different teleporters, and you
Floyd | recognize the pyramid as one of the safest and least complicated
Floyd | models. To use it you just stand on it and shake the lever repeatedly.
Floyd | This particular teleporter seems badly designed though: the lever is
Floyd | far away from it, almost on the other side of the cave.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can hear a low humming coming from the teleporter.
Floyd |
Floyd | Up from the lever sticks the new magical sword from Adventurer's
Floyd | Emporium. According to the commercial it will start to vibrate when you
Floyd | are close to danger. It is shaking like crazy, but not enough to shake
Floyd | the lever.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a cage here.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword goes even crazier and starts thrashing like a headless
Floyd | chicken on drugs.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword makes the lever shake. The sound from the teleporter gets
Floyd | louder.
Floyd |
djfletch says (to Floyd), "get on teleporter"
Floyd | >You get on the teleporter.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword makes the lever shake. The sound gets even louder. A few
Floyd | electrical sparks shoots up from the teleporter. Your feet tickle.
Floyd |
djfletch says (to Floyd), "z"
Floyd | >Time passes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword makes the lever shake. The teleporter starts shaking and
Floyd | smoking. The cave begins to fade out around you, and another cave fades
Floyd | in.
Floyd |
Floyd | Voluminous cave
Floyd | This cave has an exit to the east. In the middle of the floor is a
Floyd | round hole.
Floyd | A huge dead monster lies here, its four feet in the air. It has a
Floyd | stupid-looking face on a round gray hairless body. Its tiny eyes stare
Floyd | at nothing. The upper half of a dead pointy-eared elf is sticking out
Floyd | of its mouth. It looks like the monster choked on the elf. The elf is
Floyd | wearing a backpack.
Floyd |
Floyd | You look down at yourself. You seem unsubstantial, like a ghost. Slowly
Floyd | you begin to take on a more solid form. Now you look normal.

Floyd | of ice. He is bald, but has a beard of icicles. He has no legs; his
Floyd | stomach rises from a small cloud of icy steam. He holds an ice sabre.
Floyd | A hippoman, half man, half hippo, stands knitting something yellow. He
Floyd | is fat, purple and has two very thick legs. He is wearing your helmet.
Floyd | A young angry-looking woman stands holding a large placard saying "Save
Floyd | the monsters!" She is clearly one of those monster rights activists
Floyd | that have been making your job so much harder lately.
Floyd | The gremlin has climbed quite high up on the wall. He is a small green
Floyd | humanoid creature with pointy ears. He is wearing a tiny ring and is
Floyd | smoking a tiny cigarette.
Floyd | A large metal chest stands up against a wall. It is closed.
Floyd | A large machine is at the back of the cave. Its mechanisms looks very
Floyd | complex. Actually it is very easy to use. You know this because on a

Floyd | and spend four hours trying to figure out how it worked. The machine is

Floyd | Tremendous Cave
Floyd | An extremely bright light comes from this cave's only exit to the
Floyd | south.
Floyd | Some runes are written on the wall.
Floyd | A hippoman, half man, half hippo, stands knitting something yellow. He
Floyd | is fat, purple and has two very thick legs. He is wearing your helmet.
Floyd | A young angry-looking woman stands holding a large placard saying "Save
Floyd | the braineating parasite worm!" She is clearly one of those monster
Floyd | rights activists that have been making your job so much harder lately.
Floyd | The gremlin has climbed quite high up on the wall. He is a small green
Floyd | humanoid creature with pointy ears. He is wearing a tiny ring and is
Floyd | smoking a tiny cigarette.
Floyd | A carrot with tiny wings flies around. Its arms and legs look like
Floyd | those of a human, only much smaller. It has no head or face. A steady
Floyd | shower of shimmering sparks falls from all over its body; each spark
Floyd | disappears before hitting the ground.
Floyd | A large metal chest stands up against a wall. It is open and empty.
Floyd | A large machine is at the back of the cave. Its mechanisms looks very
Floyd | complex. Actually it is very easy to use. You know this because on a
Floyd | previous product-testing mission you came across a machine just like it
Floyd | and spend four hours trying to figure out how it worked. The machine is
Floyd | for sharpening tools and weapons. Just put what you want sharpened into
Floyd | it and wait.
Floyd |
Floyd | There is quite a lot of blood here.
Floyd |
Floyd | A severed finger lies here. On it is a Snuffelburg & Co. Type F Magical
Floyd | Ring. The ring is red and golden. It was supposed to protect you from
Floyd | any magical rays, by moving the effect of the ray away from you and

Floyd | A table made from human skulls stands near the northeast exit. On the
Floyd | table stands a shimmering pink translucent cube and a small, rusty,
Floyd | holy grail.
Floyd | A small round stage stands close to the table. It is apparently made
Floyd | from human faces frozen in terrible screams.
Floyd | A small flamingo-headed man sits behind the table in a
Floyd | comfortable-looking armchair covered in obviously fake giraffe fur. He
Floyd | is wearing a jester's suit, including a ridiculous hat with bells on.
Floyd | He is staring at the pink cube.
Floyd | An armadillo-headed woman in a white toga sits next to him on a
Floyd | barstool made from green shimmering flames. She is reading a huge black
Floyd | book called "Quantum Physics in Infinitely Dimensional Realities".
Floyd | A cat-headed man sits next to her on a throne draped in black leather,
Floyd | with numerous spikes sticking out of it. He is tall, fat and dressed in
Floyd | a black leather jacket, black jeans and black leather boots.
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "get grail"

Floyd | You already have that.
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "get rusty grail"
Floyd | >You try to take the grail, but the flamingo-headed man notices it. He
Floyd | sticks his hands inside his chest and pulls out a huge fish, holding it
Floyd | around its tail. The fish is much larger than the man's chest, and
Floyd | almost larger than the man. The man slaps you in the face with the
Floyd | fish. Then, giggling, he puts it back in his chest. "It's my grail," he
Floyd | says.

Floyd | A red automat, hundred of meters tall, stands in the middle of the
Floyd | cave. Despite the insane magnitude of the machine, its money-slot and
Floyd | buttons are normal-sized and placed at normal height. The
Floyd | merchandise-slot is also close to the floor, but huge enough to hold a

Floyd | have recently begun placing them in dangerous places, for adventurers
Floyd | who need equipment. They are easy to use; just buy something. Something
Floyd | is written on the automat next to the buttons.
Floyd | A stone altar stands up against a wall. It is low, shadowy,
Floyd | bloodstained and has runes written on it. Next to it is a huge pile of
Floyd | fish bones.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the altar you can see:
Floyd | A sluggish fish. Its eyes are white and have no pupils. It is crawling

Floyd | This cave has an exit leading outside to the south, or you can go

Floyd | A burly barbarian is leaning against a wall, playing with a yo-yo, a
Floyd | grim expression on his face. A long sabre is in his belt.
Floyd | A tough-looking dwarf, wearing chain mail and a helmet, is sitting on
Floyd | the floor. With one hand he is holding an axe almost as big as himself.
Floyd | In the other he is holding a wooden paddle with a small ball attached
Floyd | with a rubber string. He keeps hitting the ball with the paddle.

Floyd | stone ledges to stand on. Both ledges go from the south end to the
Floyd | north end of the cave. One ledge comes out from the west wall, the
Floyd | other from the east wall.
Floyd | An exit, reachable from the west ledge, leads southwest. Another exit,
Floyd | reachable from the east ledge, goes northeast.
Floyd | A large button sticks up from the middle of the east ledge.
Floyd | A narrow stone bridge goes from the east side of the room to the west,
Floyd | just below the ledges.
Floyd |
Floyd | The goblin comes running after you.
Floyd |
Floyd | Gargantuan cave
Floyd | This cave has exits to the southwest and northeast.
Floyd | A large wooden crank sticks out from a wall.
Floyd | A lizard as long as your arm is clutched to the wall, high above the
Floyd | crank, its head facing downwards. It has huge bulging eyes. It is red,
Floyd | orange, yellow, blue, purple, pink, brown, gray and black.

Floyd | Bumper cave
Floyd | An extremely bright light comes from an exit to the west. There is
Floyd | another exit to the northeast. Someone has chiseled gaps into the cave
Floyd | wall, forming a primitive ladder leading up to a hole in the ceiling.
Floyd | A table made from human skulls stands near the northeast exit. On the
Floyd | table stands a shimmering pink translucent cube and a small, rusty,
Floyd | holy grail.
Floyd | A small round stage stands close to the table. It is apparently made
Floyd | from human faces frozen in terrible screams.
Floyd | A small flamingo-headed man sits behind the table in a
Floyd | comfortable-looking armchair covered in obviously fake giraffe fur. He
Floyd | is wearing a Santa Claus suit. He is staring at the pink cube.
Floyd | A beautifully decorated Christmas tree stands in a corner.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see the goblin sidekick here.
Floyd |
inky says, "yeah"
DavidW says, "yes"
inky says (to Floyd), "talk to man"
Floyd | >"What is the weird stage for?" you ask.
Floyd | "It's mine. It's my altar. Where my followers stand when they worship
Floyd | me."
Floyd |
schep asks, "did we mess up the hamster part?"
djfletch says (to Floyd), "goblin, get on stage"
Floyd | >The goblin gets on the stage.
Floyd |
Floyd | The flamingo-headed man turns around and looks at the stage.
Floyd |
Floyd | Suddenly a small cactus appears on the stage. The goblin walks up to
Floyd | it. Then he turns so that his back faces the cactus. He sits down on
Floyd | the cactus. He jumps up again howling with pain. The flamingo-headed
Floyd | man giggles. The cactus vanishes.
Floyd |
inky asks, "is there anything good upstairs?"
inky says (to Floyd), "get grail"
Floyd | >You quickly steal the grail while the flamingo-headed man is not
Floyd | looking.
Floyd |
Floyd | Suddenly a large gorilla appears on the stage. The gorilla knocks the
Floyd | goblin over, then proceeds to jump up and down on the goblin's back.
Floyd | The flamingo-headed man giggles. The gorilla vanishes. The goblin gets
Floyd | up.
Floyd |
Floyd | There is a flickering image inside the cube.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by three points.]
Floyd |
DavidW says, "no, the hamster was done right."
inky says (to Floyd), "goblin, get down"
Floyd | >"I can't reach that from the stage."
Floyd |
Floyd | Suddenly a rake appears, lying on the stage. The goblin walks towards
Floyd | it. He steps on it, so that the handle flies up and smashes him in the
Floyd | face. The flamingo-headed man giggles. The rake vanishes.
Floyd |
schep says, "huh."
inky says (to Floyd), "goblin, out"

Floyd | Spacious cave
Floyd | This cave has an exit leading outside to the south, or you can go

Floyd | A small fire is burning here.
Floyd | A tough-looking dwarf, wearing chain mail and a helmet, is sitting on
Floyd | the floor near the fire. He is holding an axe almost as big as himself.
Floyd | He is chewing on a short bone.
Floyd | The skeleton of a donkey is lying here.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see the goblin sidekick here.
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "give grail to dwarf"

Floyd | A red automat, hundred of meters tall, stands in the middle of the
Floyd | cave. Despite the insane magnitude of the machine, its money-slot and
Floyd | buttons are normal-sized and placed at normal height. The
Floyd | merchandise-slot is also close to the floor, but huge enough to hold a
Floyd | horse. You have come across these automats before. Several companies
Floyd | have recently begun placing them in dangerous places, for adventurers
Floyd | who need equipment. They are easy to use; just buy something. Something
Floyd | is written on the automat next to the buttons.
Floyd | A huge pile of fish bones lies near a wall.

Floyd | The goblin comes running after you.
Floyd |
inky says (to Floyd), "buy wheelbarrow"

Floyd | Prodigious and very hot cave
Floyd | An extremely bright light comes from this cave's only exit to the east.
Floyd | It is terribly hot here. The intolerable temperature is almost
Floyd | certainly caused by the red-hot stone oven standing in a corner.
Floyd | A stone table stands in the middle of the cave. Round it stands a stone
Floyd | throne with an old troll, a stone chair with a tall troll, a stone
Floyd | stool with a short troll, and a large stone. The trolls look a bit like
Floyd | humans made of stone, though with no necks, bigger jaws, smaller eyes
Floyd | and huge arms and hands. They are drinking lava from large stone mugs
Floyd | and playing some kind of card game.
Floyd |
Floyd | The goblin comes running after you.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Hey, what happened to the golem? you ask.
Floyd | "Ur, remember when there was that terrible scream?" says a troll.
Floyd | "Right afterwards the golem just crumbled to dust."
Floyd |
inky says, "I don't really get why we had to go through that whole sequence with norway etc"
DavidW says, "If you'd sold the first grail to the dwarf, the barbarian would've eaten his horse while you're in Norway."
DavidW says, "To get the goblin back."
inky says, "hmm"
inky asks, "couldn't we have distracted the comedy god with the goblin first, then later gotten the book and given it to the wisdom god, leaving the goblin stranded?"
DavidW says, "You needed the bat to open the door to get the goblin to get the grail to sell for the gp to buy the wheelbarrow to put the diamond in."
schep says, "then athena would have still been there"
DavidW says, "no, because the wisdom god would've snitched."
inky says, "I guess I don't know what getting rid of the wisdom god did"

Floyd | Tremendous Cave
Floyd | An extremely bright light comes from this cave's only exit to the
Floyd | south.
Floyd | Some runes are written on the wall.
Floyd | A hippoman, half man, half hippo, stands knitting something yellow. He
Floyd | is fat, purple and has two very thick legs. He is wearing your helmet
Floyd | and a yellow wool suit.
Floyd | A young angry-looking woman wearing a yellow wool jacket and yellow
Floyd | wool gloves, stands holding a large placard saying "Save the carrot
Floyd | fairy!" She is clearly one of those monster rights activists that have
Floyd | been making your job so much harder lately.
Floyd | The gremlin has climbed quite high up on the wall. He is a small green
Floyd | humanoid creature with pointy ears. He is wearing a tiny ring and a
Floyd | yellow woolen cap and is smoking a tiny cigarette.
Floyd | A carrot with tiny wings flies around. Its arms and legs look like
Floyd | those of a human, only much smaller. It has no head or face. It is
Floyd | wearing a yellow woolen scarf. A steady shower of shimmering sparks
Floyd | falls from all over its body; each spark disappears before hitting the
Floyd | ground.
Floyd | A large metal chest stands up against a wall. It is open and empty.
Floyd | A large machine is at the back of the cave. Its mechanisms looks very
Floyd | complex. Actually it is very easy to use. You know this because on a
Floyd | previous product-testing mission you came across a machine just like it
Floyd | and spend four hours trying to figure out how it worked. The machine is
Floyd | for sharpening tools and weapons. Just put what you want sharpened into
Floyd | it and wait.

Floyd | Vast cave
Floyd | This cave has an exit leading outside to the southwest. In the middle
Floyd | of the ceiling, high above you, is a round hole. On the floor, directly
Floyd | under the hole, is a pile of hay.
Floyd | A short lever with a handle sticks out from a wall. The handle has a
Floyd | thin, wide gap, large enough for the fingers of one hand to go through.
Floyd | A metallic pyramid, about half a meter high, sticks up from the cave
Floyd | floor. You once tested a hundred different teleporters, and you
Floyd | recognize the pyramid as one of the safest and least complicated
Floyd | models. To use it you just stand on it and shake the lever repeatedly.
Floyd | This particular teleporter seems badly designed though: the lever is
Floyd | far away from it, almost on the other side of the cave.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can hear a low humming coming from the teleporter.
Floyd |
Floyd | Up from the lever sticks the new magical sword from Adventurer's
Floyd | Emporium. According to the commercial it will start to vibrate when you
Floyd | are close to danger. It is shaking like crazy, but not enough to shake
Floyd | the lever.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a cage here.
Floyd |
Floyd | The goblin comes running after you.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword goes even crazier and starts thrashing like a headless
Floyd | chicken on drugs.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sword makes the lever shake. The sound from the teleporter gets
Floyd | louder.

inky says (to Floyd), "goblin, stand on teleporter"

Floyd | Capacious cave
Floyd | This cave has exits to the west and northwest.
Floyd | A goblin woman is standing here. She is wearing a medallion, winter
Floyd | boots, a long fur coat and a round fur hat. She is carrying a purse.
Floyd | You are not quite sure, but with her long ears, sharp yellow teeth, and
Floyd | big feet you think she is pretty cute by goblin standards. She is

Floyd | A somewhat larger than life-size statue of his holiness One-Hand Jack
Floyd | stands in the middle of the cave. Jack used to be an infamous pirate,
Floyd | but later formed Hoverism, a peaceful religion. The statue holds its
Floyd | left arm out and up, the hook at the end of it just low enough to be
Floyd | reached. The statue's head is gone.
Floyd | An old Hoverist is hovering about a meter above the floor. He is
Floyd | sitting in the lotus position, his head is turned towards the statue,
Floyd | and his eyes are closed. He is wearing a white loincloth. Somebody has
Floyd | hung some Christmas ornaments on him.
Floyd | Several fragments from the safe are lying here.

Floyd | >Adventurer's Consumer Guide
Floyd | You are a product tester for the Adventurer's Consumer Guide, a
Floyd | magazine that reviews all sorts of equipment an adventurer might need
Floyd | for his adventures. Your magazine is highly respected because of the
Floyd | thorough tests you put the equipment through. The tests aren't just
Floyd | done at the magazine's offices. No, the product testers go on actual
Floyd | adventures to test the equipment out in the field. Sometimes you kill
Floyd | an evil overlord; sometimes you rescue a fair maiden. Most of the time,
Floyd | like today, you just go out looking for a treasure in Treasure Cave
Floyd | Mountain, a perfect place for adventures as it contains plenty of
Floyd | caves, treasures, monsters and traps.
Floyd |
Floyd | As you are putting on the soon-to-be-tested magical coat, magical ring
Floyd | and magical helmet, your editor says, "On this mission you'll be having
Floyd | a helper with you."
Floyd | "Really?" you say. You usually work alone.
Floyd | "Yeah, but it's part of a test. See, there's this new agency that is
Floyd | renting out sidekicks. We are going to write a review about it. Oh,
Floyd | here he is now."
Floyd | Into your office walks a goblin: a green humanoid creature with pointy
Floyd | ears, about a meter tall. "Hi, you must be my new boss," he says to
Floyd | you.
Floyd | "I guess I am. What is it you're supposed to do, exactly?"
Floyd | "Well, I'm very brave and helpful, plus I'm a ferocious killing
Floyd | machine. If you see any kind of monster, or anything at all, and you
Floyd | want it killed, just tell me, and it's toast."
Floyd | "Okay... well, I think we should get going."
Floyd |
Floyd | You and your new companion are off to Treasure Cave Mountain. Your
Floyd | mission is to return with one really big treasure. Any really big
Floyd | treasure.

Floyd | If you are unfamiliar with interactive fiction, type HELP.
Floyd | If you care, type CREDITS.
Floyd | In this game you can't examine things. Instead use either "look" to see
Floyd | descriptions of the things in the room you are in, or "inventory" to
Floyd | see descriptions of what you are carrying. You also can't use "look
Floyd | inside", "look under", "look behind", "look <direction>" or "search".
Floyd | But you can use "read".
Floyd | To see your inventory without the long descriptions of all you are
Floyd | carrying, type: "inventory short". Or simply: "i s". Or simply: "is".
Floyd | No time passes when you use "look" or "inventory".
Floyd | You communicate by "talk to [whatever]", or by giving commands in this
Floyd | format: "goblin, give me the cow-o-meter".
Floyd | It is possible to put this game in an unwinnable state, but you should
Floyd | be able to figure out when this has happened.
