| Teaspoon asks, "how many people are here right now?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Three" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Which is technically enough to not make it feel different than playing on one's own." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I am fine with starting, particularly if no one has heard about his plan. He's just the one pretty regular regular." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I'm ready to play but will defer" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Doug are you actually here?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay, let me correct, Teaspoon, and say that two of us are here." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Ghogg), "Belatedly, I'd skimmed backscroll rather than looking at how long DW's been idle - 3.5 hours does not bode well." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So I guess it'd just be you and me, Teaspoon, though perhaps Ghogg is going to watch and Doug is planning to show up at some point." | ||
| Ghogg says, "I've beaten this before, but I can watch. I am busy arranging imaginarygames entries" | ||
| Ghogg arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Jacqueline says, "I'm actually okay with two people if you're planning to be here at least a couple of hours." | |
| Teaspoon says, "glad I showed up then! Because yes, I'll definitely be around that long" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay, fine. Let's do this." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask darkiss" | ||

Floyd ] Crypt Score: 0 Moves: 0 Floyd | Floyd | > CREDITS Floyd | Floyd | My name is Marco Vallarino, I was born in 1977 in Imperia, where I Floyd | live. I work as a journalist at the newspaper "Il Secolo XIX". I've Floyd | written novels and short stories and I've published many books, but my Floyd | real passion has always been interactive fiction. Since I was a kid, Floyd | I've played tons of text adventures, in Italian and in English, and Floyd | I've also tried writing some games, using first Qbasic and later on Floyd | Inform 6. Floyd | Floyd | My personal website is at www.marcovallarino.it and I also have a page Floyd | at IF Wiki: ifwiki.org/index.php/Marco_Vallarino. Floyd | Floyd | "Darkiss 1" is my second attempt at translating a game from Italian to Floyd | English, with the help of the editors and playtesters Emilio Floyd | Audissino, Jacob Gunness, Marco Innocenti (who also designed the Floyd | cover), Paolo Lucchesi, Ottavia Pesenti, who I truly thank for their Floyd | fantastic support. Floyd | Floyd | My other game available in English is the comedy "Save the Cheshire Floyd | Cat!", which you can find at Floyd | [LINK] Floyd | Floyd | I'll be glad if you let me know what you think about the style and the Floyd | design of the game, writing to marco.vallarino@gmail.com. Floyd | Floyd | For now, thanks for all the time you spend playing "Darkiss 1". Have Floyd | fun! Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "So, the instructions, on a quick skim, seem standard, with nothing special and unique to this game, right?" | |
| Teaspoon says, "except for being able to SUMMON and BITE" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Crypt Score: 0 Moves: 1 Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You're the nightmare from which people can't wake. Floyd | Floyd | Dead twice. One by the hand of your maker, the second by the fiend who Floyd | drove a stake through your heart while you were sleeping defenceless Floyd | in your coffin. Floyd | Floyd | Alive thrice, it seems, although this last one shouldn't be possible. Floyd | Something happened.

Floyd ] Crypt Score: 0 Moves: 6 Floyd | Floyd | > X COFFIN Floyd | Floyd | The coffin in which you are lying is cold and dark enough to satisfy a Floyd | prince of darkness like you. It's almost a pity to leave it, but you Floyd | have to get out to recover your energy and exact your revenge. Floyd | Floyd | The coffin is open. Floyd | Floyd | > | Ghogg says, "this is not the sparkly kind" | |
| Teaspoon says, "nooo, don't think so" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I was thinking more of the vampire with a soul." | ||

Floyd | Floyd | Crypt Floyd | Hidden in the bowels of the mountain, this chamber has hosted your Floyd | immortal body for centuries, while your enemies spent their miserable Floyd | days hunting you down at your castle. The coffin is on a stone Floyd | pedestal at the centre of the room. On the ceiling is a fresco of the Floyd | red sun of Valmar.

There is also the ancient motto: Floyd | "Nemo me impune lacessit". An expression that you reread with Floyd | particular pleasure, waiting to transform it into a lethal reality. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Roger arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | Teaspoon says, "Oh, we're a *Scottish* vampire" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Sounds like it." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "But not really." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I would like to know how the sun lights up the nights, but presumably that's worldbuilding down the line" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm guessing it's just coincidence that our motto is also that of the Royal Stuart Dynasty of Scotland." | ||
| olethros arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | olethros asks, "do scottish vampires wear tartan capes?" | |
| olethros says it takes the safety of donkeys "very seriously" | Teaspoon says, "I wonder whether this has always been our motto, or if we picked it after becoming a vampire. Because we like getting revenge on things." | |
| Teaspoon asks, "Shall we head east?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Hm. And Voigt appears to be a German/Danish last name." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "But this was written in Italian." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And I have no idea." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Teaspoon), "That latter idea seems plausible." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Let's roll with that." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "east" | ||
Floyd ] Tunnel Score: 0 Moves: 11 Floyd | Floyd | > EAST Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Tunnel Floyd | You're walking through the east-west tunnel which connects the crypt Floyd | with the other rooms of the hideout. It is a narrow passage of Floyd | irregular stone that nobody had dared to walk through before the Floyd | arrival of the fools who (temporarily) put an end to your life. Floyd | Floyd | How much time has passed since then? Who cares! What are days, weeks, Floyd | months, even years against the recovered eternity that will allow you Floyd | to destroy your puny enemies and drink to their death in the next Floyd | millennium? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| Teaspoon asks, "east again?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Sure" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "east" | ||
Floyd ] Bats room Score: 0 Moves: 13 Floyd | Floyd | > EAST Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Bats room Floyd | You've reached the wide, octagonal chamber that is at the centre of Floyd | the hideout. The walls and the ceiling are covered with menacing black Floyd | bats, painted on the background of a gloomy cave, with stalactites and Floyd | stalagmites scattered everywhere. Floyd | Floyd | While you look around trying to remember something more about Floyd | yourself, hundreds of little yellow eyes seem to stare malevolently at Floyd | you, without recognising you as the ancient master of this creepy Floyd | dungeon. But when you regain your strength, a billion sinister wing Floyd | beats will clap for the return of the prince of darkness. Floyd | Floyd | To the west you may return to the crypt; to the north, east and south Floyd | three dark passages lead to the other rooms of the hideout. Floyd | Floyd | At the centre of the chamber, on a low pedestal of grey stone, you can Floyd | see a white wooden coffin, decorated with the images of red roses and Floyd | the letters S. C. Floyd | Floyd | The coffin is closed. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to Doug), "Okay." | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x bats" | ||
Floyd ] Bats room Score: 0 Moves: 14 Floyd | Floyd | > X BATS Floyd | Floyd | Probably the bats were drawn by yourself. You have always had a Floyd | passion for painting that over the centuries you have been able to Floyd | cultivate with great effort, achieving - as in this case - remarkable Floyd | results. At the moment you don't remember for which reason you decided Floyd | to cover the walls with bats, however there are a lot, although you Floyd | can't say exactly how many. By the way, you can try to count them, if Floyd | you want. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "A touch slower, please." | |
| Teaspoon says, "sorry" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "np" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So, question." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "If it's our dungeon..." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And we're a vampire..." | ||
| DavidW arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | Jacqueline asks, "Would we really think our dungeon was creepy?" | |
| Jacqueline exclaims (at DW), "!" | ||
| DavidW says, "ack, sorry, wasn't watching the clock." | ||
| DavidW says, "I've been working on a walkthrough for Threnody." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "DW, we are not far yet. You could just @recap (or I can send you what we've done so far) (or is it in backscroll?)" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "we may in much the same way that a goth teenager thinks he's creepy." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Hallo" | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of Teaspoon), "Kind of like, 'I am pleased with the gothiness of my bedroom. It is suitably creepy for creeping out my mom.'?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "Do you need the transcript? Otherwise I'm going to go make an egg while you read." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "That's how I'm reading this, unless the game gives me reason to think otherwise." | ||
| DavidW says, "uh, I either need the transcript or I'll just wing it." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah, I was just poking fun. I think that's what the game means." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "Okay, one sec." | ||
| DavidW asks, "I see it's the Darkiss game, eh?" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Yup. We're a very evil vampire who hasn't actually done anything evil yet." | ||
| Doug says, "@recap #toyshop #clubfloyd 400" | ||
| DavidW asks, "oh, we're not one of those nice sparkly vampire that goes shirtless and stares moodily?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "You don't get the chat in line that way." | ||
| Jacqueline | [LINK] | ||
| Doug says, "yes you do" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh, I misread." | ||
| Doug says, "if you recap both channels in the same command line." | ||
| DavidW says, "thanks" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I ... didn't know you could do it that way. I have an entire frickin' script to recover transcripts to work around that. Wow." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Anyway, I'm making an egg. Back in a sec." | ||
| Doug says, "I think it doesn't work past 1000 lines though." | ||
| DavidW says, "'red sun of Valmar'? That's a new one." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Doug), "Ah, perhaps that's why I have that weird workaround, then." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "It's the weekend. I'm going to have a second cup of guava juice." | ||
| DavidW says, "I think we should definitely count the bats. Hopefully there's 69,105 of them." | ||
| DavidW says, "Also, I'm gonna guess that's Jason Todd in the white coffin." | ||
| Roger says, "Counting things is a traditional vampiric compulsion" | ||
| DavidW says, "ha. ha. ha." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "yay" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Also, I'm back with my egg." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Proooooceed." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "count bats" | ||
Floyd ] Bats room Score: 0 Moves: 15 Floyd | Floyd | > COUNT BATS Floyd | Floyd | Led by a sudden curiosity, you start to count the bats drawn on the Floyd | walls to know exactly how many they are. However, after a while, you Floyd | lose count and have to start over again. Your excellent sight in the Floyd | dark is still too weak and you can't focus for more than a few Floyd | seconds. At the end, there seem to be 103 bats. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "That's a lot less than my guess." | |
| Jacqueline says, "Sorry, David! But yay that the author anticipated that." | ||
| DavidW says, "The author *suggested* the action." | ||
| Ghogg asks, "do y'all mind if I give a hint here?" | ||
| Roger says, "yes" | ||
| Doug says, "seems early for hints" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh, I'd somehow missed that. I got all excited in my egg making." | ||
| DavidW says, "We're only on room three." | ||
| Ghogg says, "ok, I will go back to the corner then" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Ghogg), "No hints, yeah." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x coffin" | ||
Floyd ] Bats room Score: 0 Moves: 16 Floyd | Floyd | > X COFFIN Floyd | Floyd | A deeper examination of the coffin reveals that it is the place in Floyd | which your latest lover rested. A graceful girl named Sabrina, with Floyd | whom you spent exquisitely pleasant moments, slowly sucking her veins Floyd | dry while she waited for the dark gift that would make her eternally Floyd | young and beautiful. Floyd | Floyd | But you enjoyed drinking her sweet blood too much to decide to turn Floyd | her into a vampire. Every day you ordered your minions to take care of Floyd | her, making her recover the energy lost during the past night with Floyd | banquets and transfusions, so that you could drink again at the Floyd | delicious spring of her jugular, when the sun set. In order to make Floyd | her available at all times, you had even brought her to your hideout, Floyd | hosting her in this wooden coffin that you decorated yourself so Floyd | beautifully. Floyd | Floyd | Who knows if she managed to escape the fury of your persecutors. Floyd | However, the fact that the coffin lid, usually open, has been closed Floyd | and firmly nailed down doesn't bode well. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Let's open it." | |

| olethros says, "I am just hear to find out if scottish vampires wear tartan capes and nothing else" | ||
| Roger says, "Giving someone transfusions to eat them later seems inefficient" | ||
| olethros says, "*here" | ||
| DavidW says, "right. I expected that response. Need a crowbar or a hammer, I guess." | ||
| Roger says, "We've got all these bats" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Though I guess we're hungry." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Roger), "Inefficient but possibly erotic, if you're a vampire." | ||
| DavidW says, "so, N, E, or S? Unless there's more to do here in the batcave." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Don't care, though possibly someone should map." | ||
| DavidW says, "oh, I started a map" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I don't know why, but I hate keeping the map, even though I probably need it more than anyone." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "Hooray" | ||

Floyd ] Spiders room Score: 0 Moves: 18 Floyd | Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Spiders room Floyd | The unpleasant sensation of not being alone is the first thing you Floyd | felt when you entered this room. Painted on the walls, the floor and Floyd | the ceiling, the giant spiders that surround you make for a rather Floyd | disquieting company, even for you. Although perfectly still and little Floyd | more than stylised drawings, they appear to be extraordinarily alive Floyd | with shiny yellow eyes and wide open mandibles, ready to tangle you up Floyd | in the huge web that envelops the room to devour you like a bug. Floyd | Floyd | To the south you may return to the bats room, to the east and to the Floyd | west you can explore other rooms of the hideout, to the north you see Floyd | a solid iron door.

Then you remember you have always been a Floyd | voracious reader: over the centuries these books have been your best Floyd | friends, helping you with their engaging stories to cope with the Floyd | loneliness in which every vampire is forced to spend most of his life. Floyd | Floyd | At the centre of the room is a desk still covered with papers; behind Floyd | it you can see a priceless human-skin armchair. To the east you return Floyd | to the spiders room.

Floyd ] Library room Score: 0 Moves: 26 Floyd | Floyd | > X BOOKS Floyd | Floyd | Actually the amount of books that you see here is only a small part of Floyd | that, certainly bigger, collection that you amassed over the centuries Floyd | in the library room of your castle. However, between the most recent Floyd | volumes, there are all the most famous vampire tales written by Bram Floyd | Stoker, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, John William Polidori, Charles Floyd | Nodier, Marcel Schwob, Stanislaus Eric Stenbock, Julian Osgood Field, Floyd | Anne Rice, Richard R. McCammon and Fred Saberhagen. Floyd | Floyd | There are also the frightful stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Floyd | Bierce, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Stephen King, Clive Barker and the Floyd | delirious works of Franz Kafka, Tommaso Landolfi and Dino Buzzati. Floyd | Floyd | However there is no trace of the Necronomicon, the black magic book Floyd | that you used to celebrate profane rites and bloody tributes to Valmar Floyd | and the other mighty gods of the night. You seem to recall that you Floyd | left it in the library room of your castle. Then you realise with Floyd | horror that it might have been stolen by your killers. Eventually, you Floyd | convince yourself that you must have hidden it somewhere else, Floyd | although you don't remember where. Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "That sentence is weird" | |

Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, Martin!" exclaims the sepulchral apparition. "Have you seen what Floyd | those bastards did to me? It was professor Anderson and his gang, Floyd | those who already came to look for you at my village. They eventually Floyd | found our hideout. They arrived to the camp in the morning.

Floyd | Floyd | "I was spared only to suffer a worse fate" continues the spectre. Floyd | "They knew who I was and said that I would have a special treatment. Floyd | They ripped my clothes off and shaved my hair off, before whipping me Floyd | and beating me up to allow me to 'expiate my sins'. Then they branded Floyd | me with the vampire symbol.

Floyd | "I shouted and shouted with all my breath, while we walked through the Floyd | tunnel leading to your crypt. But you were sleeping, you couldn't wake Floyd | up, so they killed you merciless. Now, seeing you alive again is a Floyd | great joy for me because I'm sure that my death will be revenged Floyd | together with yours and who did us wrong will die in horrible pain. Floyd | Maybe, one day, you'll find the way to get me out of this damned Floyd | place, where there's no escape from suffering and everything burns, Floyd | burns, buuurns!" Floyd | Floyd | Suddenly Sabrina's corpse and the coffin catch fire in front of you, Floyd | as if they have been reached by the same hell flames that tortured the Floyd | girl's soul.

Often, many hours would pass Floyd | before you got up, without anything happening. Floyd | Floyd | Rather unusually, this time, as you've just started to repeat your Floyd | supplications the picture of the vampire comes to life and starts Floyd | speaking, emanating a diabolical halo of red light: "Martin Voigt, how Floyd | much time has passed since the last time we met? Your death grieved me Floyd | and I'm glad to have you in my sight again." Floyd | Floyd | You smile, but Lilith frowns at you and says: "I know you're happy to Floyd | see me again, but this is no time for love. If you think I'm the one Floyd | who performed the magic that brought you to life, you're right. If you Floyd | think I did it to allow you to accomplish your goal of revenge, you're Floyd | wrong.

Floyd | Floyd | The charming vampire points her finger at you and instills in you a Floyd | new, wicked energy.

He proposed that the stars were just distant suns surrounded by their own exoplanets and raised the possibility that these planets could even foster life of their own (a philosophical position known as cosmic pluralism). He also insisted that the universe is in fact infinite and could have no celestial body at its "center". | |

Floyd | Floyd | You smile, but Lilith frowns at you and says: "I know you're happy to Floyd | see me again, but this is no time for love.

Floyd | Floyd | The charming vampire points her finger at you and instills in you a Floyd | new, wicked energy.

"When you come out, forget your Floyd | foolish plan of revenge and come to me at the Yoshiwara Club.

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "pour liquor on torch" | ||
Floyd ] Bats room Score: 16 Moves: 213 Floyd | Floyd | > POUR LIQUOR ON TORCH Floyd | Floyd | You pour some liquor on the torch. Now, to light it up, you just need Floyd | some fire. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "light torch" | ||
Floyd ] Bats room Score: 21 Moves: 214 Floyd | Floyd | > LIGHT TORCH Floyd | Floyd | You put the torch, drenched with alcohol, on the flaming coffin: it Floyd | lights up and starts to burn slowly. Floyd | Floyd | Praseidimio sniggers thinking of the next soul that he'll send to burn Floyd | to hell. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Bats room Score: 21 Moves: 215 Floyd | Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a torch Floyd | an axe Floyd | a violin bow Floyd | a violin Floyd | a bottle of liquor Floyd | Floyd | You are wearing: Floyd | a medallion Floyd | a black cloak Floyd | a black leather mask Floyd | your suit Floyd | an iron key Floyd | your boots Floyd | Floyd | You also have: Floyd | a curse Floyd | a magic formula Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x curse" | ||
Floyd ] Bats room Score: 21 Moves: 216 Floyd | Floyd | > X CURSE Floyd | Floyd | This curse should give you the energy you need to overcome the symbols Floyd | of Good. Floyd | Floyd | Praseidimio fluctuates around you, eager to give his contribution to Floyd | the triumph of evil over good. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Corridor Score: 21 Moves: 217 Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Protected by the curse received from Lilith, you easily overcome the Floyd | white cross painted on the floor and proceed to east, followed by Floyd | Praseidimio. Floyd | Floyd | Corridor Floyd | Beyond the cross drawn on the floor to impede your passage, there is a Floyd | narrow corridor that goes from west to east. It connects the bats room Floyd | with the stone steps that should lead out of your hideout, towards the Floyd | dark maze of caves that hides its entry. On the floor, the ceiling and Floyd | the walls, you can see many other magic symbols. They have been drawn Floyd | to avoid your escape, but their effect on you is nullified by Lilith's Floyd | curse. Floyd | Floyd | Praseidimio is at your side, ready to give his contribution to the Floyd | triumph of evil over good. Floyd | Floyd | The impossibility of seeing your image reflected in a mirror is one of Floyd | the things that you hate most about your vampire condition. So the Floyd | gigantic mirror that is in your way towards your freedom, to the east, Floyd | is a horrible view to you. Your persecutors thought of everything to Floyd | keep you imprisoned in your own hideout. The mirror is too large to be Floyd | covered, bypassed or climbed upon, so you have to find a way to Floyd | destroy it, if you want to leave the hideout. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Corridor Score: 21 Moves: 217 Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | The mirror blocks your way. Floyd | Floyd | Do you want to ask Praseidimio to help you to break the mirror? (y/n) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "y" | ||
Floyd ] Corridor Score: 28 Moves: 218 Floyd | Floyd | > Y Floyd | Floyd | Praseidimio stares at the mirror uncertain. Being near him you see Floyd | that his image too isn't reflected but he doesn't seem to care about Floyd | it. Probably a small gesture would be enough for him to break the Floyd | mirror, as it was for you when you were at the top of your strength. Floyd | Floyd | At last, acknowledging that it's a problem too difficult to solve for Floyd | a vampire in such a bad condition, the demon agrees to grant your Floyd | wish. He points one of his shapeless excrescences to the mirror and Floyd | breaks it, scattering its small fragments on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | "You've been satisfied" says Praseidimio, before disappearing in a Floyd | cloud of red smoke. "Now go on with your revenge. And may the red sun Floyd | of Valmar shine on your dark nights of vampire!" Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by seven points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Cave Score: 28 Moves: 219 Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Cave Floyd | Through a twisty maze of tunnels, you've reached the cave that leads Floyd | out of mountain bowels, to the east. Just another effort and you'll be Floyd | free to go to Lilith at the Yoshiwara Club and accomplish your Floyd | revenge. However, to the west you can return to the dark gallery that Floyd | takes to your hideout. Floyd | Floyd | A big black wolf stands between you and the exit. Floyd | Floyd | The wolf howls and looks at you with hateful eyes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "talk to wolf" | ||
Floyd ] Cave Score: 28 Moves: 220 Floyd | Floyd | > TALK TO WOLF Floyd | Floyd | If you want to talk to someone, you have to write: >ask [or tell] Floyd | someone about something. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask wolf about wolf" | ||
Floyd ] Cave Score: 28 Moves: 221 Floyd | Floyd | > ASK WOLF ABOUT WOLF Floyd | Floyd | Who do you think you are, Saint Francis of Assisi? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "play violin" | ||
Floyd ] Cave Score: 36 Moves: 222 Floyd | Floyd | > PLAY VIOLIN Floyd | Floyd | You play some very sweet music that calms the wolf and makes it fall Floyd | asleep. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by eight points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Mountain slope Score: 36 Moves: 223 Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Mountain slope Floyd | Outside the cave, every sense of yours is assaulted by the garlic Floyd | flowers planted all around the entrance. A new attempt to block your Floyd | escape from the mountain bowels, to keep you from making the world Floyd | your kingdom of terror again. Floyd | Floyd | Luckily the mask you are wearing has such a strong smell of blood that Floyd | it attenuates the stench of garlic, allowing you to stay outside the Floyd | cave, near the flowers. However, to continue your escape you must find Floyd | the way to destroy the field which surrounds you. Floyd | Floyd | The smell of the garlic field is terrible. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "burn garlic" | ||
Floyd ] Mountain slope Score: 45 Moves: 224 Floyd | Floyd | > BURN GARLIC Floyd | Floyd | With your rudimentary torch, you set fire to the garlic field. The Floyd | sight of the flowers burning is wonderful and soon the stink that Floyd | prevented you from leaving the cave fades away, covered by the acrid Floyd | smell of the fire and by the scent of your victory which gets closer. Floyd | Floyd | Delimited by the scree slope of the mountain, the fire quickly dies Floyd | after destroying the field. The road to the freedom seems to be clear, Floyd | but in such a bad condition you can't go far. You're still too weak to Floyd | turn into a bat and fly away. Moreover, outside your hideout you won't Floyd | have any protection, because you no longer know anyone that could help Floyd | you. Floyd | Floyd | While you think how to recover your energy, you see a girl arriving Floyd | from the botton of the slope. She has blonde hair, wears a violet Floyd | dress and she seems to come towards you, probably drawn by the smoke Floyd | of the fire. She quickly reaches the charred field, then she notices Floyd | your presence and stops, uncertain. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by nine points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "remove mask" | ||
Floyd ] Mountain slope Score: 45 Moves: 224 Floyd | Floyd | > REMOVE MASK Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The girl smiles when you remove the mask and show her your face. Maybe Floyd | she was waiting for that to cross the charred field and reach you near Floyd | the cave entrance. "Sir, it's so strange meeting you here in the dead Floyd | of night" she exclaims, visibly excited. "I'd like to ask you what you Floyd | are doing here, all alone, and if it was you who set the field on Floyd | fire, but maybe first all of all you should tell me your name." Floyd | Floyd | Do you want to reveal your identity to the girl? (y/n) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Mountain slope Score: 45 Moves: 225 Floyd | Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | The girl looks away, embarrassed, and says: "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't Floyd | want to be indiscreet. I've heard that one time here there was the Floyd | hideout of Martin Voigt, the legendary lord and master of all these Floyd | lands and the people who live on them. For a moment, I thought it Floyd | might be you. Before returning to my camp, I'll still stay here a Floyd | while: I'd be glad if you changed your mind and showed me a proof of Floyd | your identity.
