| Teaspoon says, "Hallo" | ||
| Peregrine asks, "What are we playing?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I don't believe we have a plan yet." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Ooh, lack of plan." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, we could do ZIII." | ||
| Peregrine asks, "Is it kinder than ZII?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I think so, but also darker." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I can live with that." | ||
| Peregrine says, "So can I" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, it's kinder in some ways, not in others. But I love the mood of it and it's possibly my favorite of the three." | ||
| Peregrine takes out pen and paper for mapping. | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Bless you." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "(I would have offered to map, since you did the last one.)" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask zork3" | ||
Floyd ] Endless Stair Score: 0, Turns: 0 Floyd | As in a dream, you see yourself tumbling down a great, dark staircase. Floyd | All about you are shadowy images of struggles against fierce opponents Floyd | and diabolical traps. These give way to another round of images: of Floyd | imposing stone figures, a cool, clear lake, and, now, of an old, yet Floyd | oddly youthful man. He turns toward you slowly, his long, silver hair Floyd | dancing about him in a fresh breeze. "You have reached the final test, Floyd | my friend! You are proved clever and powerful, but this is not yet Floyd | enough! Seek me when you feel yourself worthy!" The dream dissolves Floyd | around you as his last words echo through the void....

Although the land here is barren, you can see Floyd | vegetation to the west. South of here is a mighty wall of stone, Floyd | ancient and crumbling.

The land is bordered to the north by a massive stone Floyd | wall. Ancient and weathered, the wall has crumbled enough at one point Floyd | to permit passage. Floyd | Through the shadows, a cloaked and hooded figure appears before you, Floyd | blocking the southeastern exit from the room and carrying a brightly Floyd | glowing sword. Floyd | From nowhere, the sword from the junction appears in your hand, wildly Floyd | glowing! Floyd | Floyd | > | Peregrine says, "Whoa" | |
| Teaspoon asks, "er, what?" | ||

Floyd ] Land of Shadow Score: 2, Turns: 31 Floyd | > Floyd | > G Floyd | Floyd | A quick stroke catches the hooded figure off guard! Blood trickles Floyd | down the figure's arm!

A faint Floyd | smile comes to the lips and then the face starts to change, very Floyd | slowly, into that of an old, wizened person. The image fades and with Floyd | it the body of your hooded opponent. The cloak remains on the ground. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon exclaims, "!" | |

Few were known to have arrived at this Floyd | spot, and fewer to return. There is a heavy surf and a breeze is Floyd | blowing on-shore. The land rises steeply to the east and quicksand Floyd | prevents movement to the south. A thick mist covers the ocean and Floyd | extends over the hills to the east.

| Peregrine says, "Urgh." | ||
| DavidW says, "Anyway, this is what warning notes and save files are for." | ||
| Peregrine says, "Right." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Back." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Starting over?" | ||
| DavidW says, "And I think we need to risk pushing the block at D4 either east from D3 or south from C4." | ||
| Peregrine says, "That makes more sense, the walls being block" | ||
| Peregrine says, "(soory out of synch)" | ||
| DavidW says, "I think we did the right thing, pushing the block at A2 east first." | ||
| DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "Not yet." | ||
| Peregrine says, "It wasn't obvious the walls were blocks" | ||
| Peregrine says, "But it kinda makes sense" | ||
| Peregrine asks, "Which sandstone blocks had ladders?" | ||
| DavidW says, "One ladder, seen west of D2 is on the D1 block. The other ladder, seen east of B4 is on the B5 block." | ||
| DavidW says, "We have no way to move B5 unless B6 is open. But we can push D1 into C1 or E1." | ||
| DavidW says, "But either way, that's not obviously useful." | ||
| DavidW says, "If we push D1 south into E1, the ladder will be at E2, and stuck there. If we push D1 north into C1, the ladder will be at C2 and still stuck.... unless we move B1 first." | ||
| DavidW says, "Unfortunately, the only obvious way to move B1 is north into A1, blocking the hole we entered from, unless there's an open area at B0." | ||
| DavidW says, "But, I must also point out, we still don't know why we're in the puzzle rooms in the first place. There's gotta be more to it than escaping." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I can never remember the command for turning on or off the pause for next page of text." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "What's the command to let the screen freescroll?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "ILAC, sorry." | ||
| Peregrine says, "This is... puzzling." | ||

| Jacqueline says, "I'll try to get these transcripts cleaned up today. They'll probably need this because I think it may have to be redone." | ||
| DavidW says, "yeah, they might have to everything over anyway." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yep." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "You continue to be amazing at puzzles, fwiw." | ||
| DavidW says, "thanks" | ||
| DavidW says, "So it's first sliding A2 to A3, then E3 to E4." | ||
| DavidW says, "Then push E4 all the way west ." | ||
| DavidW says, "Go to C4 and push D4 south, get the book, push it south again, then get on its west side and push east, so it's near the SE corner." | ||
| DavidW says, "Then I went to D6, pushed D5 west once, circled to C4 and pushed south twice, so that block is out of the way." | ||
| DavidW says, "Move B1 south to C1. Move A5 east to A6." | ||
| DavidW says, "Then it's the long push of the ladder block." | ||
| DavidW says, "Go to B6 and push it west once. Go to its north side at A4 and push it south 3 times. Go to its east side at D5 and push it west twice. Go to its south side at E2 and push it north three times. That puts the ladder on the east wall of A1 and you can then just go up it." | ||
| Jacqueline) Jacqueline says, "You make it sound so easy." | ||
| DavidW says, "This is why I need to make my maps animated." | ||
| DavidW says, "I wonder if it turns out that the book in the slot is how the door opens." | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm assuming a keycard when maybe it's something else." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I really do think it's a red herring." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I mean, you can get through the door." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "But you shouldn't." | ||
| DavidW says, "I should check my old notes." | ||
| DavidW says, "well, if going through the door doesn't help you get the book." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I was thinking that the door is just an alternate way out." | ||
| DavidW says, "hm. My old old notes are very sketchy *except* for the puzzle room, but it mentions a gold card instead of a book. I think that might be the full Zork version, before it was split up into three parts." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Ah. Hm." | ||
| DavidW says, "Which makes me think putting the book into the slot is the other way out, except you'd lose the book, of course." | ||
| Jacqueline nods. | ||
| Allen says, "oh I forgot about CF today" | ||
| DavidW says (to Allen), "We did a bit more of Zork III. The Tech Room, Jewels Room, and Royal Puzzle Room." | ||
| Allen says, "those are the best parts" | ||
| DavidW says, "Teaspoon was absent too, and there's some question about bread that may have been eaten, requiring a reply of most of the game anyway." | ||
