Floyd ] Rocky Mountains 0/1 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The faces of the council members look grim. Gilgern continues to Floyd | speak. Floyd | "Of course, something must be done soon," he says in that gruff, Floyd | hearty voice you have come to dislike so much. "Must restore public Floyd | confidence and encourage the return of people to the land. Can't just Floyd | leave the place to the likes of dragons and trolls. We must all make Floyd | money again. Isn't as though it's just arrived, dragon's been there Floyd | for years. Just that people found out about it, that's all." Floyd | Marzipam looks round nervously at the others in the so-called Council Floyd | of the Wise. Floyd | "Of course, we can't afford to pay you much. We are just poor men Floyd | ourselves. Think of this more as a civic duty..." he wheezes. Floyd | Around you the other travellers and adventurers shift nervously. Floyd | Gilgern hurriedly adjusts his glasses and glances down at the scroll Floyd | in front of him. "Says here that the Great Worm can be beaten," he Floyd | goes on. "Sword of Erondil is the only weapon which can penetrate a Floyd | dragon's scaly hide. Enchanted weapon, you see. Last seen many years Floyd | ago in the Castle of Abercorn. Big, ugly place. Near the sea, I think, Floyd | if memory serves me right. Dragon must be getting a bit careless and Floyd | lazy by now. Been there all that time. Stands to reason. Might get in Floyd | a lucky hit or something." Floyd | Marzipam breaks in. "Or there's the spell, I suppose. The dragon is Floyd | supposed to be held in place under an old enchantment, though that's Floyd | perhaps just an old tale. Break the spell and the dragon will leave, Floyd | the story goes..." Floyd | "Well, which of you is interested?" Gilgern looks across at you and Floyd | the other adventurers. You begin to wish you had never set foot in the Floyd | town - it just happened to be on your journey, that's all. You've no Floyd | wish to tangle with dangerous dragons or anything else. Floyd | As Gilgern looks down, you suddenly find that the other adventurers Floyd | have all quietly taken a couple of steps back, leaving you out in the Floyd | front. Floyd | "Splendid", chortles Gilgern before you can say anything, "We've one Floyd | brave soul willing to risk their all for our little cause. Welcome, Floyd | stranger..." Floyd | Before you know it, you have been whisked away from the town square in Floyd | a donkey and cart and deposited beside a track. Floyd | "Good luck - you'll need it!" calls the driver over his shoulder, as Floyd | he hurries away. Floyd | Floyd | Welcome to Dragon Adventure. You start your quest on a mountain path Floyd | in the North-East... Floyd | (Type INFO at any time for more playing information.) Floyd | Floyd | Dragon Adventure Floyd | A simple text adventure for players aged 9 and over, by William Stott Floyd | Release 2 / Serial number 040211 / Inform v6.21 Library 6/10 Floyd | Floyd | Rocky Mountains Floyd | It is a clear, bright morning and all seems peaceful. A tiny Floyd | sparrowhawk wheels and soars lazily in the cool empty air above. There Floyd | is a steep pathway to the south leading down into dense woodland, and Floyd | you can make out an old building by the path. In the distance you can Floyd | just glimpse the steel-grey of the sea, far away to the west. Floyd | Floyd | You can go north, south, east or west. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "there we go" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "That's better." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Rocky Mountains 0/2 Floyd | Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying nothing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Rocky Mountains 0/3 Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You are wearing the traditional clothing of an adventurer... Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Classic. Going up against a dragon and we got NOTHING in inventory." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "And no bandit attack to explain it." | ||
| DavidW asks, "Dense woodland and old building south. Let's see if there's a witch there?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So, like, how did this game from years ago come up?" | ||
| wordsmith says, "'How are you going to kill the dragon, with your BARE HANDS?'" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Yes, and yes." | ||
| DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "I was merely searching on IFDB for possible games." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "ah" | ||
| DavidW says, "Like, if it's gonna be a game I haven't played yet, chances are it's gonna be obscure." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Fair" | ||
| wordsmith says, "IFDB thinks if we like it, we might also enjoy 'De Baron.' An odd suggestion, given that this one is reportedly kid-friendly." | ||
| DavidW says, "I vote south." | ||

Floyd ] Abandoned Inn 0/4 Floyd | Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Abandoned Inn Floyd | An old, thatched building stands near the path. It seems to be an Floyd | abandoned inn or tavern, as a faded sign reads 'Troll's Arms'. The Floyd | walls are a dirty white and the paintwork is starting to peel and Floyd | blister. The windows are covered in cobwebs and there is the faint Floyd | odour of mildew and decay. Weeds grow between the flagstones of the Floyd | path leading up to the door, which leans open. No-one seems to have Floyd | lived here for years. A path leads north into the mountains and there Floyd | seems to be some swampy ground to the west. Floyd | Floyd | You can go north (to the mountains), west (towards a swamp) or east Floyd | (into the inn). Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "In to Inn?" | |
| Jacqueline asks, "How's come inns in the real world never have cool ass names like that?" | ||
| wordsmith says, "Absolutely."" | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm hoping for supplies. Maybe there's a bag we can use as a carry-all." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Inside the Inn 0/5 Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Inside the Inn Floyd | There are a few patches of mould on the walls and the floorboards Floyd | creak slightly, but the building seems safe enough. As you move you Floyd | disturb a thin layer of dust. There are some stone steps leading down, Floyd | and an open doorway to the outside to the west. You see some tables Floyd | and chairs. There is a dark, intricately-carved wooden chair in the Floyd | corner behind you. Floyd | Floyd | You can go west (back outside) or down some steps. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a magnificently carved chair here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu asks (of Jacq), "Because they were named by people with experience in marketing?" | |

Floyd ] Inside the Inn 0/9 Floyd | Floyd | > X DRAGON Floyd | Floyd | You see nothing more of interest in the carvings. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I need to hurry up and retire so I can open these places." | |

Floyd ] Inn Cellar 0/15 Floyd | Floyd | > D Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Inn Cellar Floyd | The cellar seems to have been formed from a natural cavern in the rock Floyd | under the inn, which has been smoothed and extended to form a storage Floyd | area for the sorts of things inns need to keep - casks and bottles and Floyd | the like, which will remain cool in the slightly chill air. There are Floyd | the remains of some old barrels, but almost everything else seems to Floyd | have been removed from here long ago. Dim daylight filters down the Floyd | open stairwell from the inn above, where there is a flight of steep Floyd | stone steps. By the far west wall stand thick stalagmites which rise Floyd | out of the floor like dragon's teeth, behind which is a dark opening. Floyd | It might be your imagination, but you think you can just catch an Floyd | occasional dry, rustling sound coming from deep inside the darkness. Floyd | The uneven floor is covered in dust, and at first glance you see no Floyd | signs of life apart from your own boot-prints.

To the west there Floyd | seems to be a little country road. Floyd | Floyd | You can go south (along a forest path), east (towards an inn) or west Floyd | (towards a road).

Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Or maybe we *try* to kill the dragon, but fail, and try to escape using the glider, and the dragon flies after us in pursuit and burmps some fire and we die dramatically." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "That seems like a very kid-friendly ending." | ||
| DavidW says, "We don't want to die. We want to open an inn and have all the free tacos we can eat." | ||

The path leads south deeper into the trees, and continues Floyd | north. Floyd | Floyd | You can go north (along a path), south (deeper into the trees) or east Floyd | (into the cottage).

Floyd | Between them is an opening that leads towards the south, and there are Floyd | passages leading east and west. Floyd | Floyd | Tunnels lead east, west and south.

Floyd ] Inn Cellar 13/166 Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Troll is chasing after you! Floyd | Floyd | Inn Cellar Floyd | The cellar seems to have been formed from a natural cavern in the rock Floyd | under the inn, which has been smoothed and extended to form a storage Floyd | area for the sorts of things inns need to keep - casks and bottles and Floyd | the like, which will remain cool in the slightly chill air. There are Floyd | the remains of some old barrels, but almost everything else seems to Floyd | have been removed from here long ago. Dim daylight filters down the Floyd | open stairwell from the inn above, where there is a flight of steep Floyd | stone steps. By the far west wall stand thick stalagmites which rise Floyd | out of the floor like dragon's teeth, behind which is a dark opening. Floyd | It might be your imagination, but you think you can just catch an Floyd | occasional dry, rustling sound coming from deep inside the darkness. Floyd | The uneven floor is covered in dust, and at first glance you see no Floyd | signs of life apart from your own boot-prints. Floyd | Floyd | You can go up (to the inn) or west (into the dark tunnel). Floyd | Floyd | You can see a huge Troll with a club and some barrels (which are Floyd | empty) here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Damp Tunnel 13/168 Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Troll is chasing after you! Floyd | Floyd | Damp Tunnel Floyd | The cave floor is moist from condensation, and your flickering candle Floyd | casts pools of pallid light which sway and dance through the shadows. Floyd | Here and there on the walls you notice strange, ugly designs and runes Floyd | crudely drawn in red and brown ochre. Two pillars of rock seem to Floyd | cascade from the roof, one streaming down like lumpy, white icing and Floyd | the other formed from many tight needles of pinkish-brown stalactites.

Floyd ] Rock Chamber 13/169 Floyd | Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Troll is chasing after you! Floyd | Floyd | Rock Chamber Floyd | The emptiness of a natural cathedral of living rock rises high into Floyd | darkness above you, far beyond the reach of your candlelight. The Floyd | sound of your footsteps echoes strangely. There are many stalactites Floyd | and stalagmites, some of which have joined to form delicate pillars, Floyd | others just hang like creamy icicles in the still, crisp air. Frozen Floyd | rivers of snow-white rock spill down from the ceiling beside a dark Floyd | fissure that spits the southern wall. Occasionally you see fireflies Floyd | dancing and darting between the columns of pale stone. You are aware Floyd | of the immense mass of the ancient mountains above. Floyd | Floyd | Openings lead north and south. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a huge Troll with a club here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Dragon's Lair 13/170 Floyd | Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The Troll is chasing after you! Floyd | Floyd | Dragon's Lair Floyd | This place, deep in the mountain heart, seems dreamlike and somehow Floyd | magical. Distorted formations of twisted rock rise from the cave Floyd | floor, while gossamer traceries of stone seems to float in the air to Floyd | create delicate screens and alcoves. Everywhere hang pale stalactites. Floyd | The floor of the chamber is covered in red dust and pieces of broken Floyd | white bone. Floyd | Floyd | The great creature itself is lying coiled in the corner, its Floyd | slate-coloured flanks slowly heaving and falling as it breathes. Its Floyd | immense wings are tightly folded on its back and look as if they have Floyd | been carved from polished copper. One of the beast's horny claws is Floyd | resting on a pile of ivory-coloured bones. The air is sickly-sweet and Floyd | dank. Floyd | The beast seems to be emerging from a deep, long sleep. Floyd | Floyd | Tunnels lead north and west. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a huge Troll with a club, an old delivery bicycle, a huge Floyd | (no longer enchanted) dragon and a pile of bones here.
