NightFloyd Transcript:
Heist by Andy Phillips
As played on ifMUD over 5 sessions between April 18 and May 23, 2012

Like ClubFloyd, the idea behind NightFloyd is that a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Unlike ClubFloyd, NightFloyd often (but not always) takes on significantly larger works of interactive fiction, knowing going in that each one will take multiple sessions. NightFloyd is also a bit more informal than ClubFloyd in that it's only announced on the ifMUD #clubfloyd bulletin board, and the time shifts around to meet player's schedules far more than ClubFloyd does. NightFloyd is organized by genericgeekgirl, aka Adri.

Below is a transcript of Heist written by Andy Phillips. Heist was released in 1997. It was a Xyzzy Awards finalist for Best Puzzles and Best Individual Puzzle (for setting the digital clock). 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 | CHAPTER ONE: HAPPY FAMILY
Floyd |
Floyd | Wet, tired and incredibly bored.
Floyd |
Floyd | That just about sums up your present frame of mind. Standing in an
Floyd | almost empty churchyard in a ghostly nondescript town, all the while
Floyd | being soaked by constant rainfall, would be bad enough at the best of
Floyd | times.
Floyd |
Floyd | What makes it even worse is the very fact you're here. An all too often
Floyd | forgotten niece at her uncle's funeral. You're starting to wish you
Floyd | hadn't made the long journey up north after all. It's not like Uncle
Floyd | Henry actually cared about anything except his money and his ego, and
Floyd | you just wish the priest would get on with this tiresome ceremony.
Floyd |
Floyd | After it's finished you could go home, emptying any lingering thoughts
Floyd | of the selfish, arrogant man from your mind.

Floyd | Just standing here is enough to give you a shudder. The many
Floyd | gravestones and the ivy covered spire of the church to the north blend
Floyd | in perfectly with the sinister atmosphere. Even the gates to the south,
Floyd | with the promise of relatively safe territory beyond, can't begin to
Floyd | neutralise their gloomy surroundings.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your uncle's final resting place is marked by a hole in the ground.
Floyd |
Floyd | A group of mourners are gathered around the latest addition to the
Floyd | cemetery. The parish priest stands nearby, reading the last rites at a

Floyd |
Floyd | Almost as if in reaction to the priest's condemnation it starts to rain
Floyd | slightly heavier. The crowd of people seems to be growing tired of the
Floyd | sermon and seeing the rapidly declining interest of those present, the
Floyd | priest seeks to bring the proceedings to a swift conclusion.

Floyd |
Floyd | A colour photograph, quite small. It seems to be of a student

Floyd | > X HOLE
Floyd |
Floyd | Your uncle's final resting place is a simple hole in the ground. No
Floyd | decorations, no glossing over. Just a sloppily dug pit. You doubt he
Floyd | would have appreciated the ordinariness of it all. Uncle Henry was
Floyd | definitely a man in favour of the grand occasion.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can sense a feeling of pity in the priest's eyes as he looks
Floyd | straight at you, as if he is fully aware of the pain you have suffered
Floyd | over the past few years.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Earth to earth."

Floyd |
Floyd | Entering the grave at this moment in time could hardly be recommended
Floyd | as a wise course of action.
Floyd |
Floyd | The priest takes one last look at the grave, making the sign of the
Floyd | cross on his chest.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Amen."
Floyd |
Floyd | The crowd of mourners begin to leave the graveyard one by one. It is
Floyd | only after they have all left that you become aware of a man loitering
Floyd | behind you. As the priest follows the crowd through the gates the man
Floyd | moves over to you, thrusting a curious envelope into your hands. In
Floyd | response to your bewilderment he can offer only a cryptic explanation.
Floyd |
Floyd | "It is only after their deaths that we can truly begin to appreciate
Floyd | their achievements."

Floyd |
Floyd | A plain white envelope which to anyone else would seem so ordinary.
Floyd | But there is something about the way your name has been perfectly
Floyd | written on the front that manages to make you both fearful and curious
Floyd | about the contents.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "open envelope"

Floyd |
Floyd | > OPEN ENVELOPE
Floyd |
Floyd | You carefully open the envelope, and with equal caution remove the
Floyd | folded letter from inside. The envelope blows away in a sudden gust of
Floyd | wind. Your hands tremble slightly as you unfold the letter. The
Floyd | signature at the bottom almost makes you tear up the letter in an
Floyd | outburst of rage, but your curiosity gets the better of you.
Floyd |
Floyd | The words are almost perfectly written and the flowing blue ink
Floyd | contrasts brilliantly with the bright yellow background. You begin to
Floyd | read,
Floyd |
Floyd | "My dear Elaine,
Floyd |
Floyd | It is with some regret that I look out of the back window of my flat
Floyd | across the street. The dirty run-down buildings beyond the pavement
Floyd | opposite seem almost fitting. I have become lost in the labyrinth, too
Floyd | late I have realised I had a family out there which needed more from
Floyd | me than what I gave them.
Floyd |
Floyd | You were always the brightest my dear. If anyone deserves my
Floyd | inheritance it is you. You have what it takes: the determination, the
Floyd | intelligence, and most importantly the finesse. But time grows short.
Floyd | I am unable to explain in detail what would undoubtedly be the coup of
Floyd | the century.
Floyd |
Floyd | I beg you Elaine: take up the challenge and finish my dream for me.
Floyd | You will surely appreciate the danger, the sense of adventure. Maybe
Floyd | you will even find the final secret. If you decide to follow the same
Floyd | path as me, I wish you good luck. But I must warn you, it will not be
Floyd | easy. Even the first steps will require a certain degree of
Floyd | intelligence to overcome. I know in my heart that you will succeed.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your dear Uncle,
Floyd |
Floyd | (Signed) Henry Lambert.
Floyd |
Floyd | PS: Remember the rhyme: One, Two,......"
Floyd |
Floyd | It takes a few moments to sink in. Defiance grips you, there is no way
Floyd | whatsoever you will become like him. The very idea of it is laughable.
Floyd | You, a thief? You wouldn't even know where to start. Then something
Floyd | happens. Perhaps in ten years time you will look back on this as the
Floyd | moment it all changed. Something within you makes you want to accept
Floyd | this challenge, to prove yourself. The raining seems to subside
Floyd | slightly. It looks as if the sun is about to come out from behind the
Floyd | clouds. Everything seems to be happening more slowly. The calmly
Floyd | delivered statement from the man disturbs your train of thought.
Floyd |
Floyd | "It's time to make the choice."
Floyd |
Floyd | The man tightens his long grey coat.

Floyd |
Floyd | (to the strange man)
Floyd | The man's smile gives away his reaction to your reply. He removes a
Floyd | plain wooden box from inside his coat and hands it to you.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Your uncle said you would accept the challenge. He was a very
Floyd | intelligent man, you will need his brains if you are to follow in his
Floyd | footsteps. The box you hold contains his legacy. It will open only
Floyd | when surrounded by the essence of life."
Floyd |
Floyd | The man casually walks away from the meeting as if it were
Floyd | commonplace. The sun comes out from behind the clouds and the last of
Floyd | the raindrops strikes the well worn gravestones. It is a peculiar
Floyd | feeling, the three of you being alone. You, your uncle and this
Floyd | mysterious challenge you now face.

Floyd | After the funeral the gravediggers were more concerned about escaping

Floyd | a perfect reflection of the man inside. Even the polished brass handle

Floyd | someone has tied a black ribbon to the handle of the coffin.

Floyd | Town Centre
Floyd | The central part of town is fairly quiet. Only the occasional
Floyd | pedestrian trudges wearily along the heavily littered pavement. While
Floyd | the main street runs from east to west, a somewhat more minor road
Floyd | heads off to the north in the direction of a set of residential
Floyd | buildings.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the south side of the street is a store. From the steel shutters
Floyd | and armoured glass windows evidently it's a jewellers, and the shop is
Floyd | open for business.
Floyd |
Floyd | A solitary car moves along the main road, disappearing out of sight to
Floyd | the west.
Floyd |
Floyd | You must have been the last customer, for just after you leave the
Floyd | jeweller comes out of the front door and seems to spend an age locking
Floyd | it. Obviously he prides himself on his security. Satisfied that he has
Floyd | properly checked whatever devices he has in place to prevent people
Floyd | borrowing items from his store without permission, he walks off to the

Floyd | disappears from sight.

Floyd | interior of the flat where he spent his final days feels warm and
Floyd | cosy. Now that all his belongings have been taken away, the room has
Floyd | an aura of emptiness about it. All that remain are a comfy armchair
Floyd | and a cuckoo clock on one of the walls. The front door is to the west,

Floyd | The west side of the balcony is somewhat bare. There aren't any

Floyd | Memorabilia Room
Floyd | This must be the room where your uncle would sit gloating over his

Floyd | previous successes. These however, pale into insignificance next to the
Floyd | centrepiece of the room: a beautiful scale model of a city and its
Floyd | coastline, one of the most remarkable works of art you have ever set
Floyd | your eyes upon.
Floyd |
Floyd | The once immortalised replica of the Mona Lisa lies face upwards on the

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "put boy in frame"
Floyd | As you slide the boy's photo into the picture frame, you swear you see

Floyd | form on the surface. The silver picture frame shines with an unnatural
Floyd | light. The room around you starts to blur. The scale model of the city
Floyd | seems to burst into life. The distinct sound of waves crashing against
Floyd | a ship's hull fills your ears. The noise is almost unbearable. The room
Floyd | seems to spin. The sheer force of what is happening becomes so strong
Floyd | you close your eyes. When you open them again, you see your

Floyd | Decorations such as the pleasant trees can only add to the brilliance

Floyd | is provided by pale turquoise lights under the surface. You could stay
Floyd | here forever, if it weren't for more important issues dominating your
Floyd | thoughts.
Floyd |
Floyd | A rubber dinghy floats on top of the water, nearby a couple of people
Floyd | playing in the pool, making quite a bit of noise.
Floyd |
Floyd | The man in the pool must be a waiter. He has abandoned his uniform in
Floyd | order to pursue his love interests.
Floyd |
Floyd | The female part of the couple produces a ridiculously high pitched
Floyd | laugh.

Lionheart says (to Floyd), "x pool"
Floyd | The swimming pool provides quite a spectacular view, but it is somewhat
Floyd | spoilt by the disruptive splashing caused by its two current
Floyd | inhabitants. They appear to be a young couple in their early twenties,
Floyd | and from what you can gather, if they weren't out in the open they'd be
Floyd | doing the most indiscreet of things.
Floyd |
Floyd | The couple stop their noise production. For a small amount of time a

Floyd | of this barely seaworthy craft, you realise you've made a dangerous,
Floyd | perhaps fatal, mistake. Half of the nails that are supposed to hold it
Floyd | together have gone missing, and the rope that provides a lifeline to
Floyd | the cruise ship looks barely able to take your combined weights.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sheet of black cloth is in the lifeboat's interior. It must have once
Floyd | covered up something important, but now it lies forgotten.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your added momentum seems to have set the lifeboat on its final
Floyd | journey. The supporting rope becomes taut. It can only be a matter of
Floyd | seconds now before it breaks apart.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by one point.]

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take cloth"
Floyd | Taken.
Floyd |
Floyd | The lifeboat seems to steady itself, but quickly returns to its state
Floyd | of dangerous disorder.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "up"
Floyd | You hurriedly grasp the rope and start to climb. There is creaking as
Floyd | the lifeboat rocks in the breeze. You have almost reached the safety of
Floyd | the deck above, when to your horror the rope snaps in two. For what
Floyd | seems a very long time, you fall with rapidly increasing velocity. As
Floyd | you splash into the water, your head collides with what remains of the
Floyd | rescue craft. Your view fades as you sink forever beneath the waves.

Floyd | In that game you scored 87 out of a possible 200, in 1065 turns. This

Lionheart says (to Floyd), "jump"
Floyd | The cold water looks so lethal. You put your ideas of committing
Floyd | suicide back from whichever dark region of your mind they came from.
Floyd |
Floyd | The wooden panels creak under your weight, and you wonder how much more
Floyd | of this the lifeboat can take.

Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x hull"
Floyd | Quite an extraordinary feat of engineering. Huge sheets of metal held
Floyd | firmly in place with rivets, but they're not what's grabbing your
Floyd | attention. At first you think it can only be a trick of the light, but
Floyd | then you realise the ladder leading up the side of the ship really is
Floyd | there.
Floyd |
Floyd | You are almost thrown off your feet as the lifeboat lurches violently
Floyd | to one side.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "climb ladder"
Floyd | Your relief becomes tainted with frustration. The ladder is just out of
Floyd | reach. Thoughts race rapidly through your mind. There must be some way
Floyd | to reach it.
Floyd |
Floyd | The wooden panels creak under your weight, and you wonder how much more
Floyd | of this the lifeboat can take.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "jump to ladder"
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to jump.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "swing boat"
Floyd | You give the rope holding the lifeboat in its precarious position a
Floyd | huge shove. It feels exactly like one of those fairground rides, except
Floyd | you are sure that this boat doesn't have safety features built into its
Floyd | interior.
Floyd |
Floyd | The lifeboat seems to steady itself, but quickly returns to its state
Floyd | of dangerous disorder.
Floyd |
Floyd | The boat swings from side to side, coming perilously close to the metal
Floyd | hull of the cruise liner.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "climb ladder"
Floyd | Desperately, you grab hold of the metal ladder and begin to climb. As
Floyd | you reach the surface of the deck, the lifeboat falls apart, and the
Floyd | many pieces of wood fall into the ocean below before quickly vanishing
Floyd | from view.
Floyd |
Floyd | Port Deck
Floyd | You're on perhaps the only part of the ship that feels insecure. The
Floyd | shadows cast by the surrounding vessel make you feel cold and unsafe,
Floyd | and the reassuring presence of the lifebelts is shattered by the poorly
Floyd | maintained railings, supposedly designed to prevent innocent
Floyd | sleepwalkers plunging to a watery grave.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a wooden pole here.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sound of laughter from a couple of wandering passengers momentarily
Floyd | breaks the silence.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by two points.]
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl exclaims, "Yay!"
genericgeekgirl asks, "Was that pole there earlier?"
Lionheart says, "Its the railing we broke"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x pole"
Floyd | A wooden pole that used to be part of the cruise liner. Hardened white
Floyd | paint covers its entire length, and a bit of metal is sticking out at
Floyd | one end.
Floyd |
Floyd | A particular large wave crashes against the ship's hull.

genericgeekgirl says, "Ooh, good idea."

Floyd | The smoking lounge is dominated by privileges for the higher classes.
Floyd | Coffee tables of the finest glass are matched by chairs crafted of

Floyd | provide a stunning view of the surrounding ocean.
Floyd |
Floyd | One of the tables stands out from the rest. You suspect it may be
Floyd | because it is being used by the only other occupant of the room, a
Floyd | white haired man wearing the smartest of dinner jackets.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the coffee table is a bottle of champagne.
Floyd |
Floyd | The man stops shuffling a deck of cards he is playing with, and extends
Floyd | out a friendly hand to the empty hardwood chair opposite where he is
Floyd | sitting.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Please, young lady. Have a seat, I would much enjoy having some
Floyd | company for a change."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x man"
Floyd | Quite an old man, you would guess. His white hair and matching

Floyd | is wearing is smart would be an understatement.
Floyd |
Floyd | The white haired man shuffles the deck of cards.
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x champagne"

Floyd | You seem to have reached the termination point of the corridor.
Floyd | Compared with the rest of the cruise ship it seems rather bare, though
Floyd | you must admit the rather impressive door to the south gives sufficient
Floyd | compensation for the lack of scenery. Some distinctly superior items of
Floyd | decoration are on show to the west.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Heh."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x door"
Floyd | The door is quite impressive. The texture of the wood fits perfectly in
Floyd | with the surroundings, while the golden handles and knocker add a touch
Floyd | of regality. You're surprised the name plate isn't made out of gold.
Floyd | The engineers opted for the more usual and practical brass. Even the

Floyd | You reach up to the knocker and give it a big pull. It falls back into
Floyd | place producing a loud banging sound you are sure will wake up half of
Floyd | the previously happily sleeping passengers.
Floyd |
Floyd | The speed with which the door is thrown open does more than surprise
Floyd | you. A blonde haired woman carrying a cigarette holder stands in the
Floyd | doorway looking expectantly at you.
Floyd |
Floyd | "How dare you! You, a mere passenger, have interrupted the Countess
Floyd | Venina. I have much more important matters to attend to."
Floyd |

Floyd | End Of Corridor
Floyd | The end of the corridor has a feeling of the ultimate tribute about it.
Floyd | The walls have been plastered with paintings of famous historical sea
Floyd | captains, and the Union Jack has been patriotically hung above a
Floyd | massive bronze plaque. The entire area appears to be memorial to past
Floyd | sailors, but to you it seems somewhat pitiful that it should be on
Floyd | board a boat designed for pleasure.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Just this."
Lionheart says (to Floyd), "read plaque"
Floyd | Even despite that you have no interest in sailing, the memorial brings
Floyd | a few tears to your eyes. The Union Jack seems to give you a distant
Floyd | connection to the lost souls this part of the ship pays tribute to. The
Floyd | bronze plaque is full of names too innumberable to count, their dates
Floyd | of death ranging back to the twelfth century. At the base of the plaque
Floyd | a simple bronze urn has been laid as a final momento.
Floyd |

DavidW asks, "Perhaps you can make an awkward bomb with those ingredients?"

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x flare"

Floyd |
Floyd | A rubber dinghy floats on top of the water, nearby a couple of people
Floyd | playing in the pool, making quite a bit of noise.
Floyd |
Floyd | The man in the pool must be a waiter. He has abandoned his uniform in
Floyd | order to pursue his love interests.
Floyd |

Floyd | You tiptoe over to the side of the pool. The couple seem quite
Floyd | engrossed in what they are doing. However since you are plainly visible
Floyd | even in the dim turquoise light coming from the bottom of the swimming
Floyd | pool, you are soon spotted by the male half of the couple.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Hey, what do you think you're doing? Get away from there!"
Floyd |
Floyd | You mumble your apologies and back away.
Floyd |
Floyd | The female part of the couple produces a ridiculously high pitched
Floyd | laugh.
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says, "Hmpf"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take uniform with pole"
Floyd | You get as far back as you can from the swimming pool and keeping a

Lionheart says (to Floyd), "l in tray"
Floyd | The silver tray's reflection provides you with the view of the lounge
Floyd | as seen through the mirrored surface of the coffee table. The
Floyd | overturned card appears to be the four of spades.
Floyd |

Lionheart says (to Floyd), "say spades"

Floyd | Upon hearing your answer, the man turns over the card on the table.
Floyd | It's the four of spades.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Seems you are in luck my dear."
Floyd |
Floyd | The man seems slightly disappointed as he gathers up the card.
Floyd |

Lionheart says (to Floyd), "stand up"
Floyd | You get out of the hardwood chair.
Floyd |
Floyd | Lounge
Floyd | The smoking lounge is dominated by privileges for the higher classes.
Floyd | Coffee tables of the finest glass are matched by chairs crafted of
Floyd | rich, dark wood. Portholes at evenly spaced points around the room
Floyd | provide a stunning view of the surrounding ocean.
Floyd |
Floyd | One of the tables stands out from the rest. You suspect it may be
Floyd | because it is being used by the only other occupant of the room, a
Floyd | white haired man wearing the smartest of dinner jackets.

Floyd |
Floyd | Below Decks
Floyd | With its expensive red carpenting and exotic plantlife in precious
Floyd | chamber pots, this area of the cruise ship is almost reminiscent of a
Floyd | palace. The source of some rather pleasant music appears to be the bar
Floyd | area to the east, and on the west side is a doorway leading to the
Floyd | lounge. A hatchway above leads up to the main deck, whilst a staircase
Floyd | continues downwards to the cabins below.

Floyd | Plush Corridor
Floyd | As with the rest of the cruise liner, the outfitters have only chosen
Floyd | the most luxurious of fittings, even for the areas which only serve as
Floyd | a connection. The entire south wall is made of toughened glass. Many
Floyd | types of fish swim in harmony in the artificial ecosystem beyond. This
Floyd | particular corridor runs from east to west, passing even more
Floyd | delightful, if not exactly necessary, additions to this magnificent
Floyd | watercraft.

Floyd | You seem to have reached the termination point of the corridor.
Floyd | Compared with the rest of the cruise ship it seems rather bare, though
Floyd | you must admit the rather impressive door to the south gives sufficient
Floyd | compensation for the lack of scenery. Some distinctly superior items of
Floyd | decoration are on show to the west.

jenrexrode asks, "do we have the champagne?"
Lionheart says (to Floyd), "put bottle on tray"
Floyd | It's rather difficult to balance things on the tray while you're
Floyd | carrying it.

Lionheart says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd | You are carrying:
Floyd |   a silver tray
Floyd |   a bottle of champagne
Floyd |   a waiter's uniform (being worn)

Floyd |     an emergency distress flare
Floyd |   a can of oil
Floyd |   a piece of rusty wire
Floyd |   a pair of surgical gloves (being worn)
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Lionheart says (to Floyd), "knock on door"
Floyd | You reach up to the knocker and give it a big pull. It falls back into
Floyd | place producing a loud banging sound you are sure will wake up half of
Floyd | the previously happily sleeping passengers.
Floyd |
Floyd | The speed with which the door is thrown open does more than surprise
Floyd | you. A blonde haired woman carrying a cigarette holder stands in the
Floyd | doorway looking expectantly at you.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hold out the bottle of champagne to her. For some reason she seems
Floyd | furious, her fingers trembling with rage as she points at the bottle.
Floyd |
Floyd | "What is this? You come here and wave this thing in my face! And you
Floyd | expect me to tolerate your ignorance! How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!!
Floyd | Champagne is a delicacy, and must be properly served. See to it!"
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd | The speed with which the door is thrown open does more than surprise

Floyd |
Floyd | "About time, you may enter. Well, don't just stand there, get a move
Floyd | on. That is why you are here. I must be attended to in the correct
Floyd | manner."
Floyd |
Floyd | Fearful of the consequences if you weren't to respond to her wishes,
Floyd | you walk straight into the cabin.
Floyd |
Floyd | First Class Cabin
Floyd | You can tell right away that this cabin belongs to the fussy Countess.
Floyd | The four poster bed covered in gold inlaid sheets suggests the
Floyd | nobility, the rope used to call servants the arrogance of such a woman.
Floyd | On the east side is the bathroom. The door to the cabin is to the
Floyd | north.
Floyd |
Floyd | The cabin's wardrobe is just near the bed, a further luxury the
Floyd | Countess probably barely notices exists for her wellbeing.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Countess walks swiftly in, considering it beneath her dignity to
Floyd | even look at you as she walks straight into the bathroom. Her
Floyd | irritating voice carries the tone of someone used to getting her way.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Leave the champagne on the table, then go. And don't forget to close

Floyd | You decide to conceal yourself under the Countess' sleeping place.
Floyd | Shortly afterwards the woman in question ceases her bathroom
Floyd | activities, and you you see her feet moving in the direction of the
Floyd | bed. There is a big bump from above as the Countess climbs onto her
Floyd | bed. You wait for quite a while, before considering it safe to emerge
Floyd | from hiding. As you slide out from underneath the bed, you are greeted
Floyd | by the smiling face of one of the ship's officers. Desperately you try
Floyd | to think of a means of escape more original than kneeing him in the

Floyd | heard anyone do so before. Frantically, she clambers around the bed
Floyd | until she finds the bell rope and pulls on it repeatedly. Almost

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "break drink"
Floyd | Trying your best to make it look like an accident, you walk up and

Floyd | spills over her silver frock, she weeps like a four year old child.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Look at it. Look at it! You've ruined my silver frock. Now I shall
Floyd | never be the same again. Look at it!"

Floyd | With its expensive red carpenting and exotic plantlife in precious

Floyd | The captain smiles as you greet him. He takes you in his arms and his
Floyd | dancing is quite spectacular. The way he moves across the dance floor
Floyd | is both sweet and captivating. At the end of the dance he makes you an
Floyd | offer you can't refuse. You decide to go with him, and he leads you
Floyd | down what seems an endless amount of corridors before entering a
Floyd | splendid cabin. He locks the door, then turns to you.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Don't worry, sweetheart. We won't be disturbed."
Floyd |
Floyd | Captain's Cabin
Floyd | The captain of the ship has a small, cosy cabin. Murals of sea
Floyd | creatures on the ceiling provide a beautiful distraction from the more
Floyd | standard fittings. The bed looks fairly mediocre with its boring plain
Floyd | sheets, and the light blue shading of the lights is quite strange.
Floyd | Besides the cabin's main entrance to the north, there are other
Floyd | sections of the cabin to the southeast and southwest.
Floyd |

Floyd | Captain's Cabin
Floyd | The captain of the ship has a small, cosy cabin. Murals of sea
Floyd | creatures on the ceiling provide a beautiful distraction from the more
Floyd | standard fittings. The bed looks fairly mediocre with its boring plain
Floyd | sheets, and the light blue shading of the lights is quite strange.
Floyd | Besides the cabin's main entrance to the north, there are other
Floyd | sections of the cabin to the southeast and southwest.
Floyd |
Floyd | The ship's captain has collapsed on the floor of the cabin. The glass
Floyd | of wine used to knock him out rolls around nearby.

Floyd | nobility, the rope used to call servants the arrogance of such a woman.
Floyd | On the east side is the bathroom. The door to the cabin is to the

Floyd | Shortly afterwards the woman in question ceases her bathroom
Floyd | activities, and you you see her feet moving in the direction of the
Floyd | bed. When the screaming starts you think that a mass murder has taken
Floyd | place somewhere on the cruise liner, but you later discover it's the
Floyd | Countess grumbling about her precious champagne. You are soon
Floyd | discovered and placed in custody by one of the ship's officers, very

Floyd | bed. You hold your breath, hoping the Countess doesn't realise you are
Floyd | violating her privacy. After a while you hear a strange noise, you are

jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "look under desk"
Floyd | You find nothing of interest.
Floyd |

jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "x desk"
Floyd | The captain's desk is extremely well polished, without even the
Floyd | slightest scratch on its wooden surface.

Floyd | You're full of such kind feelings.
Floyd |

jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "x portrait"
Floyd | The naval commander depicted on the portrait has a firm expression and
Floyd | is dressed smartly, almost certainly a relation of the captain of this
Floyd | ship.
Floyd |

jenrexrode says, "hmph"
jenrexrode says, "push button on pen real hard"
genericgeekgirl says, "Heh"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "turn pen"
Floyd | The cap twists slightly in one direction, but nothing seems to have
Floyd | happened.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "press button"
Floyd | You press the button extending from the lid, as you do so you notice
Floyd | the portrait of the naval commander moving to one side, revealing a
Floyd | solidly built steel safe. Now you're finally getting somewhere. You
Floyd | wonder what luxuries the captain has hidden away.

jenrexrode exclaims, "oh, wrong room!"
genericgeekgirl says, "Oh. Hahaha."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "l"
Floyd |
Floyd | Study
Floyd | The room where the captain performs his more mundane tasks is a lot
Floyd | more ordinary looking than the rest of the cabin. A portrait of a naval
Floyd | commander adds an official touch, the desk underneath it a feeling of
Floyd | authority. The porthole on the east wall provides a view of the rest of
Floyd | the cruise liner, making you feel like the queen of the castle.
Floyd |
Floyd | The portrait has moved slightly to one side, exposing a solidly built
Floyd | steel safe that was behind it.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "I thought I'd tried it in the study, but yeah. Hmpf."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x safe"
Floyd | The door on the safe must be inches thick, and the only means of
Floyd | opening the safe appears to be a large keyhole on the front.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Mrrr."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x keyhole"
Floyd | A large circular keyhole on the front of the safe. Looking inside you
Floyd | can see a series of gears that make up the locking mechanism.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "pick lock with wire"
Floyd | The piece of wire doesn't seem to be firm enough to push the gears
Floyd | with.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "put flare in keyhole"
Floyd | You push the distress flare deep into the keyhole. After quite a
Floyd | momentous effort it seems to be firmly in place.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Yay"
jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "pull cord"
Floyd | You pull the black cord. There is a huge bang from inside the keyhole
Floyd | followed by a fierce red glow. You shield your eyes from the intense
Floyd | glare, and after a minute or two it subsides.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x gears"
Floyd | A large circular keyhole on the front of the safe. Recently provided
Floyd | brute force seems to have loosened some of the gears inside.

Floyd |   a can of oil
Floyd |   a piece of rusty wire
Floyd |   a pair of surgical gloves (being worn)
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "pick lock with syringe"
Floyd | After a bit of poking around with the syringe, the gears eventually
Floyd | start to turn and the door to the safe swings open. You were expected a
Floyd | vast horde of jewellery or maybe just plain old cash, but all the safe
Floyd | contains is a hollow metallic square.
Floyd |

jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "kiss square"
Floyd | You hold the hollow metallic square to your lips and give it a long
Floyd | kiss. You feel as though you have just passed a major stage in your
Floyd | career.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your surroundings seem to become blurred once more. There is sudden
Floyd | glare of light which forces you to shut your eyes. When you open them
Floyd | again, you see you have returned to your uncle's memorabilia room. The
Floyd | whole episode seems like a dream, except you are still carrying a
Floyd | certain incriminating metal shape. As you watch, the boy's photo sets
Floyd | on fire and burns to ashes in a matter of seconds, leaving the silver
Floyd | picture frame empty.
Floyd |
Floyd | Memorabilia Room
Floyd | This must be the room where your uncle would sit gloating over his
Floyd | triumphs. Many glass cases contain what you can only presume are his
Floyd | previous successes. These however, pale into insignificance next to the
Floyd | centrepiece of the room: a beautiful scale model of a city and its
Floyd | coastline, one of the most remarkable works of art you have ever set
Floyd | your eyes upon.
Floyd |
Floyd | The once immortalised replica of the Mona Lisa lies face upwards on the
Floyd | floor. A silver picture frame hangs in its place.

genericgeekgirl asks, "What if there's a heptagon?"
jenrexrode says, "oh no, or a unigon"
jenrexrode says, "or a duangle"
jenrexrode asks, "is there more to do with that crane?"
jenrexrode says, "or it that just a place to get a rod"
genericgeekgirl says, "I think that's probably it."
jenrexrode says, "it's hard to remember a week ago where we mightn't have searched"
genericgeekgirl says, "Yeah, I don't know."
genericgeekgirl says, "Hopefully it'll let us know, and give us a chance to go explore."

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "put student in frame"
Floyd | As you slide the student's photo into the picture frame, you swear you
Floyd | see the image change. It now seems to be of a cat burglar receiving a
Floyd | bar of gold from an all too familiar man. Your face is completely
Floyd | obscured by a balaclava mask. Turning around, you see that once more
Floyd | the scale model is illuminated by a beam of light. This time the
Floyd | structure highlighted is a tall glass skyscraper.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "kiss student"
Floyd | With a high degree of self confidence, you bend forward and kiss the
Floyd | photo in the silver picture frame. Once more, you see ripples begin to
Floyd | form on the surface. The silver picture frame shines with an unnatural
Floyd | light. The noise fades quickly, and the ripples cease, leaving the room
Floyd | exactly as it was before. You feel that the greatest challenge must be
Floyd | left until last, that others must first be completed.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Ok, cool. If we're missing one, we'll know."
jenrexrode says, "yay"
jenrexrode asks, "well do we want to peek at the other?"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take student"
Floyd | The student's photo comes slides easily out of the picture frame. The
Floyd | beam of light falling on the scale model disappears.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "put musician in frame"
Floyd | As you slide the musician's photo into the picture frame, you swear you
Floyd | see the image change. It now seems to be of a threatening gangster
Floyd | carrying a machine gun and sporting a sinister pair of sunglasses.
Floyd | Turning around, you see that once more the scale model is illuminated
Floyd | by a beam of light. This time the structure highlighted is a mansion in
Floyd | the rolling countryside, a long way out from the city centre.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Go ahead."
jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "kiss musician"
Floyd | With a high degree of self confidence, you bend forward and kiss the
Floyd | photo in the silver picture frame. Once more, you see ripples begin to
Floyd | form on the surface. The silver picture frame shines with an unnatural
Floyd | light. The room around you starts to blur. The scale model of the city
Floyd | seems to burst into life. The distinct sound of a lovely excerpt of
Floyd | classical music fills your ears. The noise is almost unbearable. The
Floyd | room seems to spin. The sheer force of what is happening becomes so
Floyd | strong you close your eyes. When you open them again, you see your
Floyd | surroundings have changed.

Floyd | CHAPTER FIVE: RENDEZVOUS
Floyd |
Floyd | Country Estate
Floyd | An estate in the rolling countryside, whose walls are made of the
Floyd | finest white stone, and where the natural sounds of forest creatures
Floyd | can be heard in true solitude. Whoever lives in such a place must have
Floyd | a fair bit of cash to spend. A paved stone path leads into a forested
Floyd | area to the west and there is a quiet glade to the north of you.
Floyd |
Floyd | The entrance to the estate is obstructed by a wooden gate in the wall.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, ""press space bar""
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x gate"
Floyd | The gate is made of thick wooden planks bound together by steel rivets.
Floyd | The brass handle and keyhole have been artistically fashioned from
Floyd | bronze.

jenrexrode says, "oh it's so nice here, no chance of dying"
genericgeekgirl says, "Hehe"
jenrexrode says, "well except behing that gate you're messing with"
jenrexrode says, "needs a key anyway, i suppose or a syringe. that was a weird thing to use a syringe on, gears"
genericgeekgirl says, "Yeah."

Floyd | The wooden gate is impossible to climb.

jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "x keyhole"
Floyd | The keyhole on the gate is a perfect match for the handle. The lock

jenrexrode says, "w"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "w"
Floyd |
Floyd | Forest
Floyd | In the early months of autumn, the leaves on the trees have started to
Floyd | turn brown, though some evergreens with notably large leaves stand out
Floyd | from the rest. The late evening sunset, clearly visible in the
Floyd | cloudless sky, is simply beautiful. The forest becomes impossible to
Floyd | traverse in every direction except northeast, and a paved path heads
Floyd | back to the country estate.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x leaves"
Floyd | The evergreen leaves have a large surface area, equal in size to a
Floyd | small notepad. Some of them look loose enough to be pulled away.
Floyd |
Floyd | The trees rustle slightly in an almost undetectable breeze.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take leaves"

Floyd |

jenrexrode says, "wow"
jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "x leaf"
Floyd | You didn't know it was possible for a leaf to be so large. This one is
Floyd | circular in shape and has a stem running down the middle.
Floyd |

jenrexrode says, "i dunno, I can imagine a pretty large leaf"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "eat leaf"
Floyd | You never cared much for untreated vegetables.
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "ne"
Floyd |
Floyd | Quiet Glade
Floyd | The silence in this part of the forest is similar to that used for
Floyd | oriental meditation ceremonies, both calm and relaxing. A pile of brown
Floyd | leaves has gathered in the centre of the glade, and acorns have fallen
Floyd | onto the ground from the trees above.
Floyd |
Floyd | A cute grey squirrel dashes about the leaves on the floor, looking
Floyd | occasionally in your direction.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Awwww"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take squirrel"
Floyd | The squirrel is a nifty little beast, it easily evades your clutches.

Floyd | The squirrel backs away, not really sure of your intentions.
Floyd |
Floyd | The cute grey squirrel dances about playfully.

jenrexrode says, "hehe"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "search leaves"
Floyd | Underneath the pile of leaves you find a tungsten tent peg. Some

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "throw peg at squirrel"
Floyd | You lack the nerve when it comes to the crucial moment.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "x squirrel"
Floyd | A lovely animal with grey hairs and tiny paws. Its eyes betray a loving
Floyd | innocence for the surrounding world. Such naive instincts usually lead
Floyd | creatures like this to their downfall.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
jenrexrode says, "yessss"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "pet squirrel"
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise.

Floyd | To wilfully harm such an animal isn't on your agenda.
Floyd |

jenrexrode says, "our"
genericgeekgirl exclaims, "Oh no!"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x peg"

Floyd | Rear Garden
Floyd | More often than not back gardens are an untidy mess of long grass and
Floyd | weeds, but this one is definitely an exception to that rule. Well
Floyd | trimmed hedges are in abundance, some have even been formed into
Floyd | realistic animal shapes. An impressive fountain lies eastwards from
Floyd | here, and the side of the house is to the south.
Floyd |
Floyd | The moment you enter the garden a fierce guard dog comes rushing
Floyd | towards you, growling with unpleasant undertones.

Floyd | Lamp Tower
Floyd | The view from the top of the lighthouse is unmatchable. The large
Floyd | proportion of grasslands to the north and the mountains in the
Floyd | distance are clearly visible. In the opposite direction are the
Floyd | swirling seas and perilous clifftops. Most of the glass that once
Floyd | protected the beacon has failed the test of time. A cool sea breeze
Floyd | passing through the broken panes gently brushes your face.
Floyd |
Floyd | You have to avert your gaze from the centre of the room. The massive
Floyd | electric lamp has been switched on and is producing a blinding yellow
Floyd | beam of light, which illuminates a patch of grassland to the north.

Floyd | The interior of this warning beacon is barely an improvement on the

Floyd | You are at the top of a short expanse of white cliffs. A narrow path

Floyd | The extra weight in the pan pulls the rope downwards. There is a

Floyd |
Floyd | You suddenly become aware of a trail of fire which has just started,
Floyd | and before you can react, it reaches the kegs of gunpowder. The

Floyd | A small leather pouch held together by a couple of tough looking

Floyd | Merciless Maria's Tomb
Floyd | Souls of butchered victims seem to hang in the air of this place. The
Floyd | female skeleton perched on the throne in the centre of the room
Floyd | probably looks more dangerous now than she did three centuries ago.
Floyd | Instruments that she used to spread her doom, from rapiers to kegs of
Floyd | gunpowder, are stacked behind her throne.
Floyd |
Floyd | A tin pan hangs in front of Maria's corpse. You are suspicious it could
Floyd | be one of her murderous devices she left behind for unwary trespassers.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can also see a curved piece of glass, a torn scrap of parchment and
Floyd | a pirate's cutlass here.

Floyd | career.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your surroundings seem to become blurred once more. There is sudden
Floyd | glare of light which forces you to shut your eyes. When you open them
Floyd | again, you see you have returned to your uncle's memorabilia room. The
Floyd | whole episode seems like a dream, except you are still carrying a
Floyd | certain incriminating metal shape. As you watch, the girl's photo sets
Floyd | on fire and burns to ashes in a matter of seconds, leaving the silver
Floyd | picture frame empty.
Floyd |
Floyd | Memorabilia Room
Floyd | This must be the room where your uncle would sit gloating over his
Floyd | triumphs. Many glass cases contain what you can only presume are his
Floyd | previous successes. These however, pale into insignificance next to the
Floyd | centrepiece of the room: a beautiful scale model of a city and its
Floyd | coastline, one of the most remarkable works of art you have ever set
Floyd | your eyes upon.
Floyd |
Floyd | The once immortalised replica of the Mona Lisa lies face upwards on the
Floyd | floor. A silver picture frame hangs in its place.

Floyd | see the image change. It now seems to be of a cat burglar receiving a
Floyd | bar of gold from an all too familiar man. Your face is completely
Floyd | obscured by a balaclava mask. Turning around, you see that once more

The chest contained a note with a clue for a door mechanism, a gemstone and gunpowder. We used the gunpowder and the glass to move the rock to dam up the waterfall, which allowed us access into a secret area with some dead bodies and boobie traps.

Floyd |
Floyd | The secretary nods briefly, and the tension disappears to be replaced
Floyd | by excitement. The elevator doors open and you step inside. You curse
Floyd | your misfortune as a depository management type gets in with you. Just
Floyd | before the doors close you see an element of suspicion in the
Floyd | secretary's actions. She starts to initiate a further check on you.

Floyd |
Floyd | Elevator
Floyd | You're in the elevator which leads from the ground level of the
Floyd | depository to the vault floor. The walls are shiny and you can see

Floyd | movements must all be decided externally.
Floyd |
Floyd | The other passenger in the lift, the depository manager, has taken it
Floyd | upon himself to bore you to death.

Floyd | You lift the aerosol, and spray the manager with sleeping gas. He seems
Floyd | slightly puzzled as he collapses. A tiny gold key falls out of his grey

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take jewels"
Floyd | Before doing anything with the crown jewels, you admire the beauty of
Floyd | them.
Floyd |
Floyd | Taking a closer look at the crown jewels, you see that they consist of
Floyd | a silver arrow, a jewel studded mace and a golden crown with a diamond
Floyd | mounted on the top. Quite easily the most magnificent collection of
Floyd | valuable items you have ever laid eyes upon. They have an ability to
Floyd | glisten as only the world's great treasures can.

genericgeekgirl says, "And now.. we get the hell out."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd | You are carrying:
Floyd |   a jewel studded mace
Floyd |   an interface terminal (connected to the circular socket)
Floyd |   an identity card
mwmiller says (to floyd), "take all"
Floyd |   a black canvas bag (which is open)
Floyd |     an aerosol spray

Floyd |
Floyd | Inner Vault
Floyd | You would expect more than this, especially from what is supposed to be
Floyd | one of the most secure banks in the world. The presence of only one
Floyd | platform is something of an anticlimax. There are no safety deposit
Floyd | boxes or other means of storage. A maintenance hatch is plainly visible
Floyd | on the smooth floor of the vault.
Floyd |
Floyd | An escape tunnel has opened up in the east wall.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the central platform are a golden crown and a silver arrow.
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x platform"
Floyd | A rather dull platform is in the centre of the vault, you can't see
Floyd | anything unusual about it.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "search platform"
Floyd | There is nothing on the central platform.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "touch platform"
Floyd | You feel a narrow groove running around the edges of the platform.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Of course there is."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x groove"
Floyd | A rather dull platform is in the centre of the vault, you can't see
Floyd | anything unusual about it.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
mwmiller says (to floyd), "lift platform with arrow"
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "pry platform with arrow"
Floyd | You insert the silver arrow into the narrow groove and heave. Soon
Floyd | afterwards the platform gives way to reveal a secret compartment.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by two points.]

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "look in compartment"
Floyd | In the central platform is a black opaque crystal.

Floyd | Taken.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Mine."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x arrow"
Floyd | A splendid silver arrow that gleams in the light. The tip of it looks
Floyd | very sharp indeed.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x mace"
Floyd | A rod of the purest gold, with emeralds and rubies covering the
Floyd | surface. It will make a fine addition to your mantelpiece when you get
Floyd | back.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x crown"
Floyd | The crown is made of solid gold. There are ancient inscriptions written
Floyd | on the outside surface. In the centre of the crown is a large,
Floyd | perfectly shaped diamond.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x diamond"
Floyd | The diamond is the centrepiece of the crown jewels, perfectly shaped
Floyd | and worth millions alone.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take diamond"
Floyd | You haven't really got time to do that now, you have to get out of
Floyd | here!

Floyd |
Floyd | Escape Tunnel
Floyd | The steel tunnel continues to the east, where you see the light of
Floyd | freedom and success. A sense of great triumph has descended on you.
Floyd | This first great step of your life is nearly at an end.
Floyd |
Floyd | The tunnel to the vault closes behind you.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by one point.]
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take diamond"
Floyd | You remove the perfectly shaped diamond from the crown's mount.

Floyd | Enter saved game to store: Ok.

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "e"
Floyd | As you walk down the tunnel, the crown jewels of Denario glisten in the
Floyd | light. Two hours later you're on a plane out of the country, with the
Floyd | jewels safely tucked away in a hiding place. For you it is the
Floyd | beginning of a life of plunder and adventure. Yet when you are staring
Floyd | out of a window near death just as your uncle was so long ago, you
Floyd | can't help feeling there was something you missed. The priest reading
Floyd | your last rites is just as condemning as that one was in that gloomy
Floyd | churchyard where it all started.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |     *** You missed the final piece ***
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | In that game you scored 198 out of a possible 200, in 2623 turns. This
Floyd | makes you a criminal mastermind.

Floyd | for that game or QUIT?

Floyd | You are carrying:
Floyd |   a perfectly shaped diamond
Floyd |   a black opaque crystal
Floyd |   a silver arrow
Floyd |   a golden crown

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "wear crown"
Floyd | You can't wear that!

genericgeekgirl asks, "Why not?"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x crystal"
Floyd | The black opaque crystal is exactly the same shape as the sparkling
Floyd | diamond.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "put crystal in crown"
Floyd | You insert the black opaque crystal into the crown's mount.

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "pry emerald with arrow"
Floyd | That won't improve your situation.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take emerald"
Floyd | The emerald isn't loose enough to be pulled off the mace, though you
Floyd | should be able to push it.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "push emerald"
Floyd | The black crystal starts to glow with an inner light. The atmosphere
Floyd | becomes darker and more sincere than before. A noise coming from the
Floyd | crown startles you. It is very much a voice from beyond the grave.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Congratulations, Elaine. You are a most worthy successor to my throne.
Floyd | Perhaps now you will have the knowledge to commit many crimes, but
Floyd | before you embark on your adventures, give some thought to why. When I
Floyd | came to the end of my days, I looked back with regret on what I had
Floyd | done. I saw that there was much need for my abilities, that there were
Floyd | other ways to use my talents instead of for personal profit. Hopefully
Floyd | you will not fall into the same trap. It is a glorious gift you have.
Floyd | Use it well. Good luck, and farewell Elaine. For ever."
Floyd |
Floyd | Your uncle's words of wisdom hit you hard. The crown jewels don't seem
Floyd | to glisten quite so much as they did before.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by two points.]
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Wow."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "e"
Floyd | Filled with a new vigour, you walk down the tunnel, and soon afterwards
Floyd | dump the crown jewels in a nearby lake. You begin to plan the rest of
Floyd | your career. The horrors of the severed fingers in the country mansion
Floyd | are still vivid in your memory. Crimes and people like that should not
Floyd | go unpunished. You embark on your crusade of making amends and
Floyd | correcting the many wrongs of modern society. The adventure is as
Floyd | present as it ever was, as is the excitement and the danger, but now it
Floyd | has direction it never had before.
Floyd |
Floyd | When your life finally ends and you are laid to rest in the churchyard
Floyd | next to your uncle, the priest reading the last rites this time has
Floyd | words of praise instead of condemnation.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |     *** You have won ***
