| Jacqueline says (to KO), "It is, yeah." | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Of all the forms of alchemy practised throughout the ages, the best | ||
| CF | known is the quest to turn base metals into gold. Of course, everyone | ||
| CF | knows this is impossible. Even so, there's a rumour that an alchemist | ||
| CF | in the forest has figured out how to do the impossible and has been | ||
| CF | building up quite a stash of the shiny yellow metal. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | After picking up a lead in the local tavern, you think you've worked | ||
| CF | out the location of the alchemist's house. It's time to pay him a | ||
| CF | visit and make a little, er, withdrawal. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | After trudging through the forest for a day, you stop to get your | ||
| CF | bearings and have a rest. You feel like you're getting close. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | [Warning: During this game, you will find a map that is drawn | ||
| CF | using ASCII letters and symbols. This may sound weird if you are using | ||
| CF | a screen reader. The map is on by default. You can turn it off using | ||
| CF | MAP OFF and the map will be replaced by a verbose description. You can | ||
| CF | turn it back on again using MAP ON.] | ||

| CF | > | Knight_Otu asks, "So, once we reach that map mentioned above, do we want both versions?" | |
| Jacqueline says (to KO), "I think if the map looks okay then we can roll with that, but if it comes up all garbled we switch? I think we have to pick and can't have both unless we do map on, map off, map on, map off (and now I am channeling Mr. Miyagi)." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I do not want to drive today, but..." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to ClubFloyd), "x me" | ||

| CF | As you look down at your clothing, you see that your clean clothes are | ||
| CF | now dirty and torn from trudging through the forest. It doesn't | ||
| CF | matter. When you return home with the alchemist's gold, you'll be able | ||
| CF | to buy clothing of the finest linen and silks and dress like a | ||
| CF | nobleman. | ||

| DavidW says, "Maybe we need to chase it for several locations until it leads us somewhere interesting." | ||

| CF | was previously shaded by a large tree, but that tree has now been | ||
| CF | felled and removed, leaving only a tree stump. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "Game, I was checking if the stump was hollow." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "I think it's you who is bloodthirsty, game." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "A friend and I were playing one of those hidden object casual games together recently and we had this small tomahawk that we just kept using for all kinds of stuff. The game removes things from your inventory after you use them, but the tomahawk seemed eternal... it just stayed there, and we kept figuring out how violence WAS the answer to so many things. Then near the end the game took it from us and my friend is still talking about the betrayal." | ||
| DavidW asks, "I guess, try south from the original forest location now?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I guess we're done here." | ||

| CF | continue chopping until the axe breaks, then throw it away. Just as | ||
| CF | you do, the weakened trunk splinters and comes crashing down onto the | ||
| CF | fence. Oops. This also flattens the gate, so you can now get through | ||

| CF | Path through Forest | ||
| CF | You're on a path through the forest. It appears to stop at an | ||
| CF | abandoned cart. The only obvious way out of here is back to the west, | ||
| CF | although the map indicates a path east of the cart. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can see an abandoned cart (which contains some dirt, plants and | ||
| CF | weeds) here. | ||

| CF | Pasture | ||
| CF | This is a well-grazed pasture in the middle of the forest. The | ||
| CF | shepherd is gone. He must have gone home to make his squirrel stew. | ||
| CF | You can leave the pasture via the gate to the south, but there's also | ||
| CF | a path to the east. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can see an oak tree, a rock and some sheep here. | ||

| CF | The trail ends at a gate to the north. The felled tree has flattened | ||
