| Jacqueline hollers, "In five minutes, CF will play Tex Bonaventure and the Temple of the Water of Life by Truthcraze! See you soon in the Toyshop!" | ||
| djfletch arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | ||
| dddddd arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | * Jacqueline has added dddddd to the channel. | |
| olethros arrives, full of fun and funk. | olethros says, "and what best to do on the way home than cfing" | |
| dddddd says, "Thank you Jacqueline. This is my first time here, so I'll just look how this goes"" | Jacqueline says, "Hello, dddddd. Welcome to the ifMUD and to ClubFloyd." | |
| dddddd says, "Hello" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Hooray." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So, the reason we need to speak on channel during the game is to keep our final transcript clean. Have you seen any of the transcripts?" | ||
| dddddd says, "no, Jacqueline. I'll search for one..." | Jacqueline says (to dddddd), "No worries. I'll post a link." | |
| Jacqueline says, "So, I know it's hard at first, but it's really key to keep it on the channel from here on out, which is easy now that you've set the channel." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Now all you have to do is put a ; before what you want to say." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "The main reason I wanted to know if you've seen a transcript is because you need to know that we're recording our session and that it will be posted online." | ||
| dddddd says, "That's fine. Thanks." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So, keep that in mind as we play. (Though you seem very polite and I will be surprised if you start, say, talking smack about the author.)" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So, let's see." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Have any of you played this? Tex Bonaventure and the Temple of the Water of Life by Truthcraze?" | ||
| Jacqueline has not. | ||
| dddddd says, "Not me." | ||
| djfletch says, "Hello. I haven't played this one yet either." | ||
| maga says, "I have" | ||
| maga says, "but I'm going to be sitting back, as usual" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to maga), "You've played everything ever, I think." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay, so we have at least three, maybe four with olethros. Cool." | ||
| maga says, "recent comp games, sure" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask bonaventure" | ||
Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 0/1 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Somewhere in the deep, dark swamps of the Everglades, far beyond the Floyd | reach of civilized men in their London cut double-breasted suits and Floyd | their bowler hats, strides a man; TEX BONAVENTURE, professional Floyd | treasure hunter, semi-professional card sharp, and a rank amateur at Floyd | judging when to stride and when to row a boat. Floyd | Floyd | There are rumors as to what he's after. Some say diamonds. Some say Floyd | gold. Others, with a knowing twinkle in their eye, beckon the curious Floyd | close and whisper a single word - "youth". Floyd | Floyd | Struggling to slighly higher ground, what you really want at this Floyd | moment is a dry pair of socks, and to go back in time about three days Floyd | and smack yourself about the head for not buying a canoe when you Floyd | could. That is, until you part some vines, and there it stands before Floyd | you, what the natives call Cukovcatv Em Oheskatv Vhesaketv: Floyd | Floyd | The Temple of the Water of Life. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple Floyd | Trying to shake the mud from your boots, but only splattering it Floyd | around a little, you eventually give up and look around. Atop a small Floyd | hillock in the middle of the Everglades sits a foreboding stone Floyd | temple. Its entrance, a wide arch of stone, lies to the east, up the Floyd | hill. To the west lies the swamp from which you came. The swamp also Floyd | lies to the north. And the south. Probably to the east, as well, Floyd | behind the temple, but you can't see that from here. It's a safe bet, Floyd | though. 99% of the Everglades is swamp. And 1% is, apparently, Floyd | hidden temples. Floyd | Floyd | A huge green fierce snake bars the way to the temple. Floyd | Floyd | > | djfletch says, "oh no, a monster already" | |
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "i" | ||

You have Floyd | to admit, you're beginning to feel your years a little bit. What you Floyd | would kindly describe as "grizzled", the less-kindly (such as some of Floyd | those ladies) would describe as... well, they would say "grizzled", Floyd | too but they wouldn't say it with respect. A bit of disdain and Floyd | clenched teeth, perhaps. Floyd | Floyd | Perpetually "one last score" away from retirement. But this might be Floyd | the last, for real. The rumor has it, treasure for the rest of your Floyd | life is in the top of the Temple... and that life can be very long Floyd | indeed. Very very long. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "What I love already is how original this piece is. Battered fedora and an old leather jacket with a whip and a gun? Somebody should make a movie like that." | |

| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "whip snake" | ||
Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 0/6 Floyd | > Floyd | > WHIP SNAKE Floyd | Floyd | You crack your whip at the snake. You whip it good. The snake Floyd | becomes even more agitated. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "snrk again" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "g" | ||
Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 0/7 Floyd | > Floyd | > G Floyd | Floyd | You crack your whip at the snake. You whip it good. The snake Floyd | becomes even more agitated. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "shoot snake" | ||
Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 5/8 Floyd | > Floyd | > SHOOT SNAKE Floyd | Floyd | (with the gun) Floyd | You take steady aim, walking close to the snake. You only have one Floyd | bullet, and you don't want to miss. Unfortunately, the snake also Floyd | takes steady aim, and strikes your calf just as you fire. You end up Floyd | putting a hole in the snake, but it put two into you. Floyd | Floyd | You feel the red hot pain of the venom injected into your calf, and Floyd | the icy grip of death approaching as the poison starts traveling Floyd | through your body. Your only hope is antivenom - which you don't have Floyd | with you. And somehow you don't think you'll survive the three day Floyd | hike to civilization. Floyd | Floyd | So your REAL only hope is that the rumors are true. That at the Floyd | pinnacle of the temple there flows the Water of Life. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Congratulationment!® number 1 - "I hate snakes, Jock!" Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Wait, only one bullet and no canoe? We suck at adventuring." | |
| olethros says, "supermarket!" | ||
| olethros says it takes the safety of donkeys "very seriously" | djfletch says, "hopefully we can find an ammo shop later" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Also, isn't it 'Jacques,' not 'Jock?'" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Gosh, no. It *is* Jock." | ||

Its entrance, a wide arch of stone, lies to the east, Floyd | up the hill. To the west lies the swamp. The swamp also lies to the Floyd | north. And the south. Probably to the east, as well, behind the Floyd | temple, but you can't see that from here. It's a safe bet, though. Floyd | 99% of the Everglades is swamp.

| djfletch says (to Floyd), "get remains" | ||
Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 6/11 Floyd | > Floyd | > GET REMAINS Floyd | Floyd | You gingerly pick up the snake, by the tail. Not that you're scared Floyd | of snakes. Who would be scared of snakes? ...bats, on the other Floyd | hand... ick. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Congratulationment!® number 2 - "Surely this will be useful?" Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by one point.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "So, our score went up, even though we were bit, so I'm guessing we run with that." | |

Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 6/13 Floyd | > Floyd | > X JACKET Floyd | Floyd | The coat has served you well. Perhaps that's why you wear it, even in Floyd | the sweltering jungle heat. It's currently zipped up. Floyd | Floyd | > | djfletch says, "cool" | |

Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 6/14 Floyd | > Floyd | > OPEN JACKET Floyd | Floyd | You open an old leather jacket, revealing a bundle of maps. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 6/15 Floyd | > Floyd | > X MAPS Floyd | Floyd | They got you this far. Unfortunately, all the maps end at the Floyd | entrance of the temple - none describe the inside at all. Floyd | Floyd | > | djfletch asks, "ok, should we go east?" | |
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x swamp" | ||
Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 6/16 Floyd | > Floyd | > X SWAMP Floyd | Floyd | You don't relish the thought of the three day hike out of the swamp. Floyd | But the riches available in the temple will paradoxically lighten your Floyd | load - or at least happy thoughts of spending them will. Plus... if Floyd | the rumors are true... perhaps your arthritis will be a thing of the Floyd | past, soon. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/17 Floyd | 6/12N)## The Entry Hall of the Temple Floyd | The first thing you notice in the Temple is the sound of water, Floyd | dripping and running and burbling. The sound seems to come from all Floyd | around you, all directions. Combined with the relative coolness and Floyd | darkness of the temple (cool and dark compared to the Everglade swamp Floyd | outside), you feel like sleeping. But sleep, with your injuries, Floyd | means death. Green, speckled light spills in from the exit arch of Floyd | the Temple, which lies to the west. There are three passageways in Floyd | the stone walls of the temple, set to the south, east and north. In Floyd | the middle of the entry hall is a large statue, looming over anyone Floyd | that may enter the temple. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Congratulationment!® number 4 - "Late title card!" Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by one point.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x statue" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/18 Floyd | > Floyd | > X STATUE Floyd | Floyd | Looking at the statue, it is absorbed as a gestalt. Aspects are not Floyd | seen in order, but all at once. It is only when you look away, you Floyd | can think logically about it. You remember a man made of pure white Floyd | alabaster at the center, arms flung outward, touching both north and Floyd | south walls with his hands. His head, you recall, was thrown back - Floyd | but whether in agony or ecstasy you can't tell. Around the man water, Floyd | frozen water, raised in a spout. That can't be right. Some stone, Floyd | translucent blue, the likes of which you've never seen in all your Floyd | years of treasure hunting. The statue is twenty feet tall, at the Floyd | minimum, and somehow occupies most of the room, yet is hard to look Floyd | directly at... perhaps you could look at pieces of it at a time, if Floyd | you're careful. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x arms" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/19 Floyd | > Floyd | > X ARMS Floyd | Floyd | The statue's arms touch the north and south walls of the entrance Floyd | hall, and seem poised to either crash together and crush whatever is Floyd | in their path, or perhaps they are pushing against the walls, keeping Floyd | them upright. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x head" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/20 Floyd | > Floyd | > X HEAD Floyd | Floyd | The statue's head is thrown back, and not easily visible from the Floyd | floor of the entrance hall. Which is odd, because in your opinion, Floyd | (and you have many opinions about strange, cultish temples, having Floyd | been in a few), the point of a statue is to convey the desired emotion Floyd | in the viewer. And that is difficult to do, if you can't see the Floyd | face. It makes you uneasy. Very uneasy, the more you look at it. Floyd | Which, you belatedly realize, may be the point. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x water" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/21 Floyd | > Floyd | > X WATER Floyd | Floyd | The sound of water is all around, but there is none in evidence in Floyd | this room. Except for the huge statue, but that's more a Floyd | representation of water, really. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "climb statue" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/22 Floyd | > Floyd | > CLIMB STATUE Floyd | Floyd | There's no real good way to get a grip on the statue. Although, in Floyd | your attempts, you do notice a small hole in the base of the statue. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x hole" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/23 Floyd | > Floyd | > X HOLE Floyd | Floyd | There seems to be a small hole at the base of the statue - about the Floyd | size of your arm, it extends deep into the mesmerizing blue stone - Floyd | you can't see the bottom of it, but there appears to be something Floyd | stuck in it. Perhaps you should reach in and get it out. Nothing bad Floyd | will happen. The more you look at the stone, the deeper you peer into Floyd | the hole, the more you just want to put your arm into it. Perhaps Floyd | now. Certainly now. "Let's PUT MY ARM INTO THE HOLE!" cries a voice Floyd | in your head. Floyd | Floyd | > | djfletch says, "haha" | |

| djfletch says (to Floyd), "put arm in hole" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/23 Floyd | > Floyd | > PUT ARM IN HOLE Floyd | Floyd | You reach into the hole, obeying your mental compulsion. Almost Floyd | immediately, a band of metal blades constricts around your arm, Floyd | severing it from your shoulder. You are able to stagger two steps Floyd | away before you collapse to the ground in shock, and bleed out. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** YOUR CHARM IS LIKE THOSE BLADES - DISARMING *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | In that game you scored 7 out of a possible 142, in 23 turns. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last Floyd | command? Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "So, I a, slow at mapping it would appear, but I'll speed up as we go." | |
| djfletch says, "no problem" | ||

Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/23 Floyd | Floyd | > UNDO Floyd | Floyd | An unearthly blue glow surrounds you, and you feel time slipping Floyd | away... Floyd | [Previous turn undone.] Floyd | Floyd | The Entry Hall of the Temple Floyd | Green, speckled light spills in from the exit arch of the Temple, Floyd | which lies to the west. There are three passageways in the stone Floyd | walls of the temple, set to the south, east and north. In the middle Floyd | of the entry hall is a large statue, looming over anyone that may Floyd | enter the temple. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "look in hole" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/24 Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK IN HOLE Floyd | Floyd | You peer deep into the hole. It looks like the item is... woven, Floyd | somehow. Perhaps it's... a rope necklace? Perhaps you should reach Floyd | in and get it out. Nothing bad will happen. The more you look at the Floyd | stone, the deeper you peer into the hole, the more you just want to Floyd | put your arm into it. Perhaps now. Certainly now. "Let's PUT MY ARM Floyd | INTO THE HOLE!" cries a voice in your head. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "put whip in hole" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/25 Floyd | > Floyd | > PUT WHIP IN HOLE Floyd | Floyd | You decide not to risk losing that down the hole. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "put snake in hole" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/26 Floyd | > Floyd | > PUT SNAKE IN HOLE Floyd | Floyd | You decide not to risk losing that down the hole. Floyd | Floyd | > | djfletch says, "hmm, let's leave this for now" | |
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x statue" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/27 Floyd | > Floyd | > X STATUE Floyd | Floyd | Looking at the statue, it is absorbed as a gestalt. Aspects are not Floyd | seen in order, but all at once. It is only when you look away, you Floyd | can think logically about it. You remember a man made of pure white Floyd | alabaster at the center, arms flung outward, touching both north and Floyd | south walls with his hands.

Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x spout" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/28 Floyd | > Floyd | > X SPOUT Floyd | Floyd | The blue stone that makes up the statue's depiction of water is Floyd | mesmerizing. You've never seen anything like it. If only you could Floyd | cut just a few slabs of it - a few hundred carats of it, enough to Floyd | bring to a jeweler - that would be enough to finance the rest of your Floyd | life, you're sure. Hah. Of course, if you can't find the Water of Floyd | Life, the rest of your life won't be very long, or hard to finance, Floyd | you're sure. The more you stare at the blue sparkling stone, though, Floyd | the more you want to stare at it. There's only one flaw, one tiny Floyd | hole in the stone, at the very base. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x hand" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 7/29 Floyd | > Floyd | > X HAND Floyd | Floyd | The statue's arms touch the north and south walls of the entrance Floyd | hall, and seem poised to either crash together and crush whatever is Floyd | in their path, or perhaps they are pushing against the walls, keeping Floyd | them upright. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| djfletch says, "I don't know what else to try with it until we get better items." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So, let's just explore for now. Pick a direction: n, s, or e." | ||

Floyd ] The Bottomless Pit - Well, *A* Bottomless Pit 7/32 Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Bottomless Pit - Well, *A* Bottomless Pit Floyd | Wind whistles through this room, threatening to knock you off balance, Floyd | and off your precarious perch on a small ledge of stone. And that Floyd | would be bad. Very bad. Because (and here you risk a quick glance Floyd | down) the pit you are skirting appears to be bottomless. And not one Floyd | of those "bottomless" pits where it's all build-up and hyperbole, and Floyd | the bottom is QUITE visible a mere half-mile down, thank you very Floyd | much. No, this is a PROPER bottomless pit. You fancy you can hear Floyd | something, very faint, very soft, in the wind whistling out of the Floyd | pit. To the south is the entrance hall of the temple, and much Floyd | solider ground.
