CF \| Sage Sanctum Scramble
CF \| A game by Arthur DiBianca
CF \| Release 1 / Serial number 200922 / Inform 7 build 6L38 (I6/v6.33 lib
CF \| 6/12N)
CF \|
CF \| Special thanks to Linus ��kesson, Andy Fleming, Lorne Harris, Luke
CF \| Pebler, Brian Rushton, Andrew Schultz, and Mike Spivey for testing,
CF \| and to Nadia Bellazola for cover art.

CF \|
CF \|
CF \|
CF \| "Hello!" says the sage standing before you. "My name is Quorbus, and
CF \| I'll be your guide. Thank you for coming! We need your help pretty
CF \| badly. I don't want to say too much yet��I don't want to scare you.
CF \| But
CF \| you need to start collecting keywords into that book you're
CF \| holding. There are many of them, and each one is guarded by a
CF \| different puzzle.
CF \|
CF \| "Every keyword is a reasonably common English word, four to nine
CF \| letters long, and uncapitalized. Why don't you begin by guessing my
CF \| keyword? Just type your guess!"

CF \|
CF \| Sage Sanctum Scramble is, for the most part, a bunch of word
CF \| puzzles. Most of what you type will be word guesses rather than
CF \| commands. Guesses can be single words of any length. Anything counts
CF \| as a word, even BLZRTQ.
CF \|
CF \| A little scratch paper may come in handy.
CF \|
CF \| You're trying to collect keywords. All keywords are
CF \| uncapitalized, reasonably common English words, from four to nine
CF \| letters long.
CF \|
CF \| Type LOOK or L for a reminder of what's going on in your current
CF \| puzzle.
CF \|
CF \| For now, just try to guess Quorbus's keyword!

CF \| "You got it! I guess that wasn't much of a puzzle."
CF \|
CF \| There is a flash, and the word CLOUD appears in your book. You hear

CF \|
CF \| Quorbus says, "You can type BOOK at any time to see the keywords
CF \| you've collected. Those clicks were more puzzles opening up. Type
CF \| PUZZLES to see them."

CF \|
CF \| A huge monster materializes at the other side of the chamber. It has

CF \| When it sees you, it produces a horrifying sound similar to a laugh.
CF \|
CF \| You hear Quorbus's voice in your mind. "Get ready!" he says.

CF \| zarblot! Now we can return to our work.
CF \|
CF \| "I wish we could have fought the zarblot ourselves, but we aren't
