  
 
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 John's Fire Witch, written by John T. Baker II. John's Fire Witch was originally released in 1995. It was released prior to the first IF Competition, in a time when the concept of shorter games was still novel. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting Baf's Guide. WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, 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. |

| DavidW says, "I needed to close up various folders and stuff." | inky asks, "uh, I forget, did we decide if the game was on floyd?" | |||

| PerrySimm says, "Back then, all codenames were limited to 8 characters or less, y'know." | ||||
| inky says, "CODENAME: FIRWITCH, the new action thriller starring Matt Damon" | ||||
| PerrySimm says, "If you used 9 characters, smoke would pour out of Floyd and he'd explode or go 'Danger, Will Robinson' or something equally unseemly." | ||||
| WeirdBeard arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | inky says, "ok, it's kind of freaking me out to see PerrySimm talking" | |||
| PerrySimm says, "oops." | ||||

Floyd | Maintained by Stephen Granade <sgranade@phy.duke.edu> Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | It's a cold weekend in December of 1990, and it's been far too long Floyd | since you have seen your friend John Baker! But you've finally managed Floyd | to take some time out of your schedule to drive to Columbus and spend Floyd | some "quality time" together. Quality time, of course, means that you Floyd | and he are going to sample every bar that Ohio State University's High Floyd | Street has to offer. Floyd | Floyd | John was to meet you at a favorite pizza and beer spot to start off the Floyd | evening, but he hasn't showed up. John's always been rather Floyd | spontaneous (read that as 'erratic'), so you think he'll show up Floyd | eventually. But as the night wears on and you tire of downing beers by Floyd | yourself, you decide to drive to his place and see if he's left a note Floyd | or something for you there. Floyd | Floyd | You find his front door unlocked and John nowhere to be found. Pretty Floyd | tired from your earlier drive, and also buzzing a bit from the beer you Floyd | drank, you quickly doze off in the living room. Floyd | Floyd | It is now morning. A terrible snow storm is raging outside, the worst Floyd | you've ever seen. You can't believe how much snow has piled up over Floyd | the night. You still haven't heard from John, and you seem to now be Floyd | trapped in his apartment.

Floyd | Time passes... Floyd | Floyd | It is so cold that you are beginning to feel sleepy. You remember Floyd | reading somewhere that this is a really bad sign.

Floyd | Dining Area Floyd | This is the Dining Area, inaptly named here since it is never used Floyd | for that purpose.

Floyd | Dear Pig: Floyd | Floyd | There is no way that I am going to pay any more rent than I already do Floyd | for this hole you call an apartment. The rent you're already charging Floyd | is paramount to extortion for a struggling student like myself. You Floyd | don't do a thing I ask, you don't answer maintenance calls, and you Floyd | have refused to fix the hole that has opened up in the basement. So Floyd | bugger off.

Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x table" | ||||
Floyd | It's your everyday dinner table. You notice numerous nicks and Floyd | scratches in the surface, as though someone had repeatedly bounced a Floyd | coin off of it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "look under table" | ||||
Floyd | There's nothing under the dinner table. Floyd | Floyd | > | * WeirdBeard has joined the channel. | |||
| DavidW asks (of Taleslinger), "Did you see that?" | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Kitchen Floyd | The kitchen is in better shape than you would expect after seeing Floyd | the rest of the apartment. This puzzles you for a moment, until you Floyd | figure out that John probably eats out all the time. A door leads Floyd | outside to the north, and the dining area is to the west. Floyd | You see a stove and a refrigerator here. Sitting on the stove is a Floyd | big pan. Sitting on the refrigerator is a typed letter. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says, "Ah yes, gee, sorry. Could that be edited out? :-)" | |||
| inky says, "hee hee" | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "get typed letter" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x it" | ||||
Floyd | It appears to be a letter to John from his landlord telling him that Floyd | his rent is going up. The landlord sounds really greedy. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "read it" | ||||
Floyd | Dear Tenant: Floyd | Floyd | As some of you may know, I have recently purchased a third sports car. Floyd | This one was exceptionally expensive, and in order to maintain my Floyd | extravagant lifestyle, I am going to have to increase your rent again. Floyd | I can't exactly remember what I charge you now (my accountant handles Floyd | all that stuff), but whatever it is, add $50 a month from now on. Floyd | Floyd | Thanks Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x stove" | ||||
Floyd | There is a thin layer of dust on the stove; further evidence that this Floyd | room is not used much. Continued inspection shows that the stove does Floyd | not even work. You wonder if John is aware of this or if he even Floyd | cares. On the stove you see a big pan. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x pan" | ||||
Floyd | This big pan appears to have been filled with lasagna at one time, but Floyd | it is now empty. John told you yesterday on the phone that he was Floyd | making it for the both of you. He has got to be one of the biggest Floyd | gluttons you know. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "get pan" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "fridge" | ||||
Floyd | There's no verb in that sentence! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "open fridge" | ||||
Floyd | You open the refrigerator, and find it completely empty. John never Floyd | ceases to amaze you. You close it back up, shaking your head. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "open stove" | ||||
Floyd | The oven door seems to be stuck. It does open just a little bit, and Floyd | you catch the pleasant odor of cooked fish, possibly herring. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger asks, "John is the author, right?" | |||
| inky says, "yeah" | ||||
| inky says, "and also the guy in the game whose apartment we are looking around in" | ||||
| DavidW says, "John, like many IF characters, seems to live in a pigsty and eat nothing but snow." | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Patio Floyd | You are outside the apartment, on a patio enclosed by fencing. The Floyd | storm wails around you, driving snow into your face. It is bitterly Floyd | cold. A fence door leads north out into the apartment complex parking Floyd | lot, but there is so much snow piled against it that you doubt you Floyd | could open it. The door back into the apartment is to the south. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x snow" | ||||
Floyd | The snow is drifted against the door so that you can't open it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Bathroom Floyd | The bathroom is typical for an apartment like this. The floor is Floyd | tiled and bare. The shower curtain is a striking blend of wild colors. Floyd | It is just beginning to show the first signs of mold. The landing lies Floyd | to the west. Floyd | Sitting on the sink is a flashlight. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "ah, light source" | |||
| inky says (to Floyd), "get flashlight" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | John's Bedroom Floyd | This is John's bedroom. You are immediately surprised by the sheer Floyd | volume of dirty clothes that cover the floor. The room itself is Floyd | furnished with rather spartan furniture. You can exit back to the Floyd | landing to the south. Floyd | You see a bed here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x clothes" | ||||
Floyd | There is a terrific volume of dirty clothes here, completely covering Floyd | the floor to a depth of about three inches. Who knows what all could Floyd | be mixed in among them? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| inky says (to Floyd), "x picture" | ||||
Floyd | This is a picture of a rather lusty-looking girl. She must be very Floyd | important to John, for him to have left the picture all mixed in with Floyd | his important clothes like that. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "ha ha wtf" | |||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x crystal card" | ||||
Floyd | This card is about the size of a playing card. It is made out of some Floyd | type of gleaming crystal, and is grey in color. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Nothing happens. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x bed" | ||||
Floyd | It looks like an ordinary bed. You would have been disappointed in Floyd | John if it had been made, but it's not. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "look under bed" | ||||
Floyd | You find a battery and a book! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Done. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x book" | ||||
Floyd | The book appears to be a diary, probably John's. You're not going to Floyd | read it are you? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "read book" | ||||
Floyd | The diary goes on about mundane personal matters, as diaries are wont Floyd | to do, for quite some time. A recurring theme seems to be how envious Floyd | John is of people who are out "living life". This puzzles you a bit, Floyd | since John has done more crazy shit than any 10 people you know, with Floyd | the possible exception of some of his psycho friends. Floyd | Floyd | The last couple of pages are really strange. Apparently a few days Floyd | ago, a hole opened in John's basement due to some water damage. John Floyd | has been having dreams about a "Fire Witch" and an "Ice Wizard" that Floyd | live down this hole. Here's the part that's really weird: he thinks Floyd | the dreams are real. The ice wizard has imprisoned the fire witch, and Floyd | John seems almost obsessed with freeing her. He also talks about a Floyd | "magic crystal card" that the fire witch gave him in a dream. By Floyd | rubbing it and saying the "magic word" necken-sway, John thinks that he Floyd | can find the fire witch. He talks about the card as if he actually has Floyd | it in his possession. Floyd | Floyd | Obviously, years of heavy drinking have finally destroyed his mind. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "oh ho ho" | |||

Floyd | Nothing happens. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "hmm" | |||

Floyd | John's Bedroom Floyd | This is John's bedroom. You are immediately surprised by the sheer Floyd | volume of dirty clothes that cover the floor. The room itself is Floyd | furnished with rather spartan furniture. You can exit back to the Floyd | landing to the south. Floyd | You see a bed, a crystal card, a picture, a modem, and a book here.

Floyd | Basement Floyd | This is the basement of the apartment. It is unfinished, and there Floyd | is no furniture here. There is a large hole in the west wall, probably Floyd | large enough for you to fit through, and a set of stairs lead up. Floyd | You see a board here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Long Tunnel (1) Floyd | This is a long tunnel leading north and south. It has definitely Floyd | been purposefully made, being tiled with crafted stone.

Floyd | The ice completely fills the northern cell. It feels cold and slick to Floyd | the touch, but does not appear to be melting.

Floyd | Long Tunnel (1) Floyd | This is a long tunnel leading north and south. It has definitely Floyd | been purposefully made, being tiled with crafted stone.

Floyd | Red Crystal Grotto Floyd | You have entered a grotto made entirely of some type of gleaming Floyd | red-tinted crystal.

The light from your flashlight is reflected back to you both Floyd | from the direction you are pointing it and from other parts of the Floyd | room, as gleams of red light seem to travel through the crystal to Floyd | emerge elsewhere.

Floyd | You jump up and manage to get yourself at least partly into the hole. Floyd | Pulling yourself into it, you start your long climb upwards.

Floyd | Floyd | Hollow Space Floyd | You are in a hollow space in between the walls of John's basement Floyd | and the basement of one of his neighbors. You are pretty cramped; you Floyd | can barely fit in here. It is also kind of dark, making you strain to Floyd | see.

Floyd | Snuggling up in John's bed, you drift pleasantly off to sleep. During Floyd | your comfortable sleep, you have a dream. You are wandering through a Floyd | vast desert at night. The wind whips sand into you, and it is cold Floyd | enough to make you shiver. You know that you are looking for Floyd | something. Floyd | Floyd | Finally, you come upon a cage just sitting out in the middle of the Floyd | lonely expanse. Inside is a beautiful woman in crimson robes, who Floyd | turns to face you as you approach. Floyd | Floyd | She seems troubled. "You are not the one who usually comes," she says, Floyd | and then drops her head. "I do not have the strength to continue very Floyd | much longer. You must get this to the one who calls himself 'John'." Floyd | Floyd | With what seems like a great amount of effort, she hands you a small Floyd | slip of paper through the bars of the cage.

Floyd | Floyd | To the west, hanging by a chain from the ceiling, is a large wooden Floyd | disk. The chain is attached to the center of the disk, which looks to Floyd | be about 5 feet wide.

You begin a mad Floyd | scramble towards the chain as gravity tries to slide you off the edge. Floyd | Many frightening seconds later, your hands grasp the chain and you pull Floyd | yourself to the center of the disk. Whew! Floyd | Floyd | Disk Floyd | You are precariously standing on a wooden disk, hanging suspended Floyd | from the cavern ceiling by a chain. You cannot see the floor of the Floyd | cavern. To both the east and west, you can see ledges in the middle of Floyd | the cavern walls. The problem is, although it was easy to jump *to* Floyd | the disk, you don't have enough room for a running start to jump *off* Floyd | the disk.

The chain is attached to the center of the disk, which looks to Floyd | be about 5 feet wide. The disk is a little farther away from here than Floyd | it was from the east ledge; although you could jump to it from here, Floyd | you don't know if you could stay on it when you got there or not.

Floyd | Goblin Room Floyd | A small rather non-descript grey-stone cavern, this location does Floyd | have one thing that makes it distinct: an ornate archway leading Floyd | south.

Floyd | The goblin is a little smaller than you are, but it appears very Floyd | fierce. Small tusks protrude from its pig-like face, and razor-sharp Floyd | talons spring from its hands.

Floyd | Holding the board like a baseball bat, you crack the goblin upside the Floyd | head. A lead key (previously unseen) flies from a chain around the Floyd | goblin's neck.

Floyd | Long Tunnel (1) Floyd | This is a long tunnel leading north and south. It has definitely Floyd | been purposefully made, being tiled with crafted stone. It looks like Floyd | something that would have been created centuries ago. You can see the Floyd | Red Crystal Grotto to the north, and a side corridor leads off to the Floyd | east.

Floyd | The diary goes on about mundane personal matters, as diaries are wont Floyd | to do, for quite some time. A recurring theme seems to be how envious Floyd | John is of people who are out "living life". This puzzles you a bit, Floyd | since John has done more crazy shit than any 10 people you know, with Floyd | the possible exception of some of his psycho friends. Floyd | Floyd | The last couple of pages are really strange. Apparently a few days Floyd | ago, a hole opened in John's basement due to some water damage. John Floyd | has been having dreams about a "Fire Witch" and an "Ice Wizard" that Floyd | live down this hole. Here's the part that's really weird: he thinks Floyd | the dreams are real. The ice wizard has imprisoned the fire witch, and Floyd | John seems almost obsessed with freeing her. He also talks about a Floyd | "magic crystal card" that the fire witch gave him in a dream. By Floyd | rubbing it and saying the "magic word" necken-sway, John thinks that he Floyd | can find the fire witch. He talks about the card as if he actually has Floyd | it in his possession. Floyd | Floyd | Obviously, years of heavy drinking have finally destroyed his mind.

Floyd | This small leather bag smells faintly of sulphur. You can sense power Floyd | emanating from it.

Floyd | Goblin Room Floyd | A small rather non-descript grey-stone cavern, this location does Floyd | have one thing that makes it distinct: an ornate archway leading Floyd | south. You can see the green crystal grotto to the north. Floyd | There is a small, fierce guardian creature blocking your way to the Floyd | south. For some reason, the name 'goblin' pops into your head. Floyd | Floyd | Rushing at your feet, the goblin springs up and plants its shoulder Floyd | into your stomach. You painfully exhale all the air in your lungs. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says (to Bert), "the word is tar-molay, and makes the rod into a magnet" | |||

Floyd | This small slip of paper holds some cryptic numbers. Floyd | Floyd | Rushing at your feet, the goblin springs up and plants its shoulder Floyd | into your stomach.

Floyd | (with the board) Floyd | Holding the board like a baseball bat, you crack the goblin upside the Floyd | head. A lead key (previously unseen) flies from a chain around the Floyd | goblin's neck. While the goblin staggers back dazed, you take Floyd | advantage of the situation and crack it in the head again.

Floyd | Floyd | John was to meet you at a favorite pizza and beer spot to start off the Floyd | evening, but he hasn't showed up. John's always been rather Floyd | spontaneous (read that as 'erratic'), so you think he'll show up Floyd | eventually. But as the night wears on and you tire of downing beers by Floyd | yourself, you decide to drive to his place and see if he's left a note Floyd | or something for you there. Floyd | Floyd | You find his front door unlocked and John nowhere to be found. Pretty Floyd | tired from your earlier drive, and also buzzing a bit from the beer you Floyd | drank, you quickly doze off in the living room. Floyd | Floyd | It is now morning. A terrible snow storm is raging outside, the worst Floyd | you've ever seen. You can't believe how much snow has piled up over Floyd | the night.

Floyd | Which card do you mean, the crystal card, or the tarot card? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "crystal" | ||||
Floyd | This card is about the size of a playing card. It is made out of some Floyd | type of gleaming crystal, and is purple in color. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard mumbles something about foolish mortals under his Floyd | breath, making some sort of gesture with his hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x obelisk" | ||||
Floyd | The large obelisk is made out of some type of purple crystal. There Floyd | seems to be something inside the obelisk, the unmoving form of a Floyd | beautiful woman in crimson robes. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard mumbles something about foolish mortals under his Floyd | breath, making some sort of gesture with his hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Fyrion says (to DavidW=I), "hope you're not doing this just for me." | Taleslinger asks, "should we try and contact him with a transcript?" | |||

| DavidW asks, "hm. Have we confused the wizard code?" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x wizard" | ||||
Floyd | The Ice Wizard is a grey old man with a sinister look about him. A Floyd | sense of power radiates from him, and he frightens you. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard snaps his fingers, and the ring appears in his hands. Floyd | He rolls it in his fingers and places it within the folds of his robes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| WeirdBeard says (to floyd), "z" | ||||
Floyd | Time passes... Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard snaps his fingers, and the crystal card appears in his Floyd | hands. "Damned Witch," he mumbles. "How did she get that to the Floyd | mortal?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | [Your score just went up by 2 points.] Floyd | The wizard's eyes open wide as you say the magic word. There is a Floyd | brief flash of light, and where the wizard once stood is a lovely woman Floyd | in crimson robes. Glancing at the purple crystal obelisk, you see the Floyd | wizard's form trapped within. Floyd | Floyd | "You have done well," the Fire Witch purrs. With a snap of her Floyd | fingers, you both appear in John's living room. With a flourish of her Floyd | robes and some mumbled words, John appears as well. He appears dazed Floyd | and confused, and he gawks at the sight of the Fire Witch. With raised Floyd | eyebrows and a beautiful smile, the Fire Witch purrs "I hope you're Floyd | ready for some unseasonably hot weather," and promptly disappears. Floyd | Floyd | *** You Have Won! *** Floyd | Floyd | In a total of 485 turns, you have achieved a score of 10 points out of Floyd | a possible 10. Floyd | It looks like you may have to play the sequel in order to restore the Floyd | balance of power though. :) Floyd | Floyd | I hope that you did not find the game too easy or too hard, and that Floyd | you had a good time with it. Please email me at Floyd | <baker-j@ix.netcom.com> with comments (both good and 'constructive'), Floyd | and with any suggestions for anything you'd like to see done Floyd | differently in my next game. Be gentle though; this was my first time. Floyd | :) Thanks for playing. Keep Text Adventures Alive! | ||||

Floyd | Maintained by Stephen Granade <sgranade@phy.duke.edu> Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | It's a cold weekend in December of 1990, and it's been far too long Floyd | since you have seen your friend John Baker! But you've finally managed Floyd | to take some time out of your schedule to drive to Columbus and spend Floyd | some "quality time" together. Quality time, of course, means that you Floyd | and he are going to sample every bar that Ohio State University's High Floyd | Street has to offer. Floyd | Floyd | John was to meet you at a favorite pizza and beer spot to start off the Floyd | evening, but he hasn't showed up. John's always been rather Floyd | spontaneous (read that as 'erratic'), so you think he'll show up Floyd | eventually. But as the night wears on and you tire of downing beers by Floyd | yourself, you decide to drive to his place and see if he's left a note Floyd | or something for you there. Floyd | Floyd | You find his front door unlocked and John nowhere to be found. Pretty Floyd | tired from your earlier drive, and also buzzing a bit from the beer you Floyd | drank, you quickly doze off in the living room. Floyd | Floyd | It is now morning. A terrible snow storm is raging outside, the worst Floyd | you've ever seen. You can't believe how much snow has piled up over Floyd | the night. You still haven't heard from John, and you seem to now be Floyd | trapped in his apartment.

It is in its usual state of disarray, Floyd | littered with junk (old copies of alternative newspapers, empty beer Floyd | cans and bottles, dirty plates and glasses, and so on). What a Floyd | complete sloth! To the north is the dining area. There is a door Floyd | leading outside to the south. One set of stairs leads down to the Floyd | basement, while another set leads upstairs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Trophy Room Floyd | This room looks like it belongs in a modern home instead of some Floyd | underground cavern complex. It is neatly square, about 20 feet wide by Floyd | 25 feet long, and the walls are paneled with cedar wood. It looks Floyd | unusual only due to its contents, and that the west wall is a wall of Floyd | roaring flames. The room is of a comfortable temperature though. Floyd | An altar is on the northern wall, a desk lies against the eastern Floyd | wall, a table sits against the southern wall, and in the middle of the Floyd | room sits a large crystal obelisk. Floyd | Sitting on the altar is a large black book. Sitting on the wooden Floyd | table is a black rod. Sitting on the wooden desk is a tarot card and a Floyd | small bowl. Floyd | A grey old man in dark blue robes is here. The Ice Wizard stops Floyd | admiring his trophies and turns to face you as you enter. "This used Floyd | to be the Fire Witch's trophy room," he mumbles. "Now she's a part of Floyd | it." Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard mumbles something about foolish mortals under his Floyd | breath, making some sort of gesture with his hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x tarot card" | ||||
Floyd | This particular card is the Grim Reaper. A beautifully realistic Floyd | picture. Hood, scythe, skeleton, implacable grin: yes, it's the Floyd | Reaper all right. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard mumbles something about foolish mortals under his Floyd | breath, making some sort of gesture with his hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x bowl" | ||||
Floyd | In the small bowl you see a smooth stone. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard mumbles something about foolish mortals under his Floyd | breath, making some sort of gesture with his hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x smooth stone" | ||||
Floyd | It's a smooth, shiny piece of what might be obsidian. Scratched on it Floyd | is a symbol. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard snaps his fingers, and the thin rod appears in his Floyd | hands. He fingers it lightly and places it within the folds of his Floyd | robes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x symbol" | ||||
Floyd | The symbol, on close examination, appears to have been carved into the Floyd | smooth stone, perhaps with a claw. The symbol is like nothing you've Floyd | ever seen, and yet somehow you know it has meaning. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard mumbles something about foolish mortals under his Floyd | breath, making some sort of gesture with his hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x black rod" | ||||
Floyd | It's a three foot black rod with a rusty star on an end. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard snaps his fingers, and the ring appears in his hands. Floyd | He rolls it in his fingers and places it within the folds of his robes. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "I think some of these are curses refs" | |||
| inky says, "this is obviously CC" | ||||

| inky says (to Floyd), "x altar" | ||||
Floyd | On the altar you see a large black book. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard mumbles something about foolish mortals under his Floyd | breath, making some sort of gesture with his hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "x black book" | ||||
Floyd | The large black book is open to page 569. Floyd | Floyd | The Ice Wizard snaps his fingers, and the crystal card appears in his Floyd | hands. "Damned Witch," he mumbles. "How did she get that to the Floyd | mortal?" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Commandment #12592 Floyd | Floyd | Oh ye who go about saying unto each: "Hello sailor": Floyd | Dost thou know the magnitude of thy sin before the gods? Floyd | Yea, verily, thou shalt be ground between two stones. Floyd | Shall the angry gods cast thy body into the whirlpool? Floyd | Surely, thy eye shall be put out with a sharp stick! Floyd | Even unto the ends of the earth shalt thou wander and Floyd | Unto the land of the dead shalt thou be sent at last. Floyd | Surely thou shalt repent of thy cunning. Floyd | Floyd | "Didn't want you leaving me," the Ice Wizard mumbles as he rubs the Floyd | crystal card and places it within the folds of his robes. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
