ClubFloyd Transcript:
The Scroll Thief by Daniel M. Stelzer
As played on ifMUD on July 24, 2014

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 The Scroll Thief written by Daniel M. Stelzer. It was entered in the 2014 IntroComp, and took second place. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the 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 | orange: "The tedium of Magic Theory 101 is at an end! I think I can
Floyd | summarize everything we learned in that class in one paragraph: There

Floyd | Unusual Effect are obvious, but there is also the
Floyd | Presence which fuels the magic. The Presence (which must
Floyd | always be pronounced dramatically for some reason) is imbued into the
Floyd | vellum of a scroll, which is why the scroll is consumed as the spell
Floyd | is cast, and also why we can't just copy powerful spells onto every
Floyd | sheet of parchment we see. How did that explanation merit a full

Floyd |
Floyd | green: "This lecture seems to be worth a note. When you see an
Floyd | Enchanter going around with a spell book, they aren't actually just
Floyd | storing their spell scrolls in a clever way: the pages of a spell book
Floyd | are made with an enormous amount of Presence, such that the
Floyd | spells can actually be cast repeatedly without destroying the book!
Floyd | The downside is that casting a spell from a spell book is a lengthier
Floyd | process. The Enchanter first needs to go through a Primary
Floyd | Incantation, or "memorization", which calls the Presence
Floyd | from the book and stores the almost-completed spell in the caster's
Floyd | mind. The spell can then be cast later with the Secondary
Floyd | Incantation, often a single word, which finishes the
Floyd | Incantation and causes the Unusual Effect. Apparently
Floyd | this was discovered by a scrollwriter named Berzio a long time ago,
Floyd | who also invented the gnusto spell to transfer a scroll into a spell
Floyd | book."

Floyd | Spell Research Room
Floyd | This is the area where advanced students can work out variations on

Floyd | enchantments from scratch.
Floyd |
Floyd | A long workbench lines one of the walls. Judging from the amount of
Floyd | strange machinery around it, the alarm recording wasn't lying about

Floyd | complicated in case of unlikely eventualities. It might not be a good

Floyd |
Floyd | A heavy purple tome, titled the "Tome of Psychological Incantations".
Floyd | The first third of the book is a long treatise on the theory behind

Floyd | Library Antechamber
Floyd | You've visited the library many times, and this room has never failed
Floyd | to impress you. Sunlight shone in through the circular window in the
Floyd | great domed ceiling, reflecting off the mosaic floor and filling the

Floyd | and students made it feel alive.
Floyd |
Floyd | Now, however, it is dark and silent. A few shafts of moonlight give
Floyd | everything an ethereal silvery glow.

Floyd | the traps—magic-users have a tendency to make things overly

Floyd |
Floyd | "I found a yonk scroll in the Clean Room," you explain, "and
Floyd | made a copy of it."
Floyd |
Floyd | "Sensible of you," Frobar remarks, "those scrolls are hard to come
Floyd | by." He seems to have forgotten that you stole it.
Floyd |
Floyd | "But I wanted the spell in my spell book, so I could cast it over and
Floyd | over," you stammer. How are you going to explain your being in the
Floyd | Clean Room at all? But they don't seem to have noticed. "And I
Floyd | thought, you know, if I can't gnusto it because the gnusto spell isn't
Floyd | powerful enough, well then, what if I augmented its power?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "That doesn't make sense." Helistar interrupts. "You can't use
Floyd | metamagic on gnusto, it's fixed in your memory before your third year
Floyd | of study...oh. Of course. You would probably be the first person to
Floyd | encounter a metamagic scroll before learning your first spell by
Floyd | heart."
Floyd |
Floyd | ** End of Act I
Floyd |
Floyd | This is officially the end of the IntroComp version of the game. Some
Floyd | parts of the second act are implemented (e.g. getting into the Storage
Floyd | Room, opening the aquarium, getting the kulcad spell) if you
Floyd | want to continue, but they have not been rigorously tested and will
Floyd | certainly have bugs.
Floyd |
Floyd | At this point Frobar and Helistar debate for a while, but decide to
Floyd | trust you for the moment—the yonk spell in your spell book
Floyd | is
Floyd | of more immediate importance than your attempted burglary. They
Floyd | explain how magic is starting to fail, and how the Guildmaster has
Floyd | disappeared (along with every Enchanter who attended the meeting in
Floyd | Borphee). Frobar gives you a copy of the blorple spell, which
Floyd | had suddenly appeared in various spell books that night. Your task is
Floyd | now the same as it was in Spellbreaker: figure out what's
Floyd | happening, and if there is any way to stop it.
Floyd |
Floyd | Thank you for playing!

Floyd | "If you didn't break in, what are you doing here?"
Floyd | At this, one of the others notices your spell book. "Look, Frobar. He
Floyd | has a student spell book. I bet he was trying to steal some spells
Floyd | from the Library." You do your best to look shocked at the very idea,
Floyd | but the Enchanters don't seem convinced.
Floyd |
Floyd | The one who took your spell book starts to flip through it. "Yes, I
Floyd | knew it. Rezrov, gnusto, frotz—a
Floyd | second-year student wouldn't have any of these in a spell book ye—"
Floyd | She stops suddenly and her face goes white. Frobar runs over.
Floyd | "Helistar, what is—wait—that's not possible—"
Floyd |
Floyd | They look at you in shock. "How can he have yonk in his spell
Floyd | book? It's too powerful for gnusto to copy..."
Floyd |
Floyd | Helistar sets her own spell book down. "Perhaps it's a simpler spell
Floyd | that one of the Spellwriting students misnamed. Let's see." She
Floyd | concentrates on your book for a minute, then waves her hand. There is
Floyd | a faint hum, then a flash of brilliant light that leaves all of you
Floyd | momentarily blinded. "No...that frotz responded just as it
Floyd | should..."
Floyd |
Floyd | Frobar turns to you. "Will you explain how you ended up with a
Floyd | yonk spell inscribed in a student spell book?"
Floyd |
Floyd | The tiles in the mosaic create a new message: "This mosaic was
Floyd | enchanted by H. Ondricek and M. T. Winter of the Class of 925.
Floyd | "
Floyd | You have nothing specific in mind to discuss with Frobar just now.

Floyd | ** End of Act I
Floyd |
Floyd | This is officially the end of the IntroComp version of the game. Some
Floyd | parts of the second act are implemented (e.g. getting into the Storage
Floyd | Room, opening the aquarium, getting the kulcad spell) if you
Floyd | want to continue, but they have not been rigorously tested and will
Floyd | certainly have bugs.
Floyd |
Floyd | At this point Frobar and Helistar debate for a while, but decide to
Floyd | trust you for the moment—the yonk spell in your spell book
Floyd | is
Floyd | of more immediate importance than your attempted burglary. They
Floyd | explain how magic is starting to fail, and how the Guildmaster has
Floyd | disappeared (along with every Enchanter who attended the meeting in
Floyd | Borphee). Frobar gives you a copy of the blorple spell, which
Floyd | had suddenly appeared in various spell books that night. Your task is
Floyd | now the same as it was in Spellbreaker: figure out what's
Floyd | happening, and if there is any way to stop it.
Floyd |
Floyd | Thank you for playing!

Floyd | Library Antechamber
Floyd | You've visited the library many times, and this room has never failed
Floyd | to impress you. Sunlight shone in through the circular window in the
Floyd | great domed ceiling, reflecting off the mosaic floor and filling the
Floyd | area with patterns of red and gold. The din of innumerable Enchanters
Floyd | and students made it feel alive.
Floyd |
Floyd | Now, however, it is dark and silent. A few shafts of moonlight give
Floyd | everything an ethereal silvery glow.
Floyd |
Floyd | Standing in the middle of the floor is a glass display case, showing
Floyd | off an illuminated scroll.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can also see Helistar and Frobar here.
Floyd |
Floyd | The mosaic shifts again: "Welcome, Olly!
