Floyd ] Fork Score: 0, Turns: 0 Floyd | It must be the warlock Krill. The odd disappearances, the mysterious Floyd | dissolution of regions sacred to the Circle, the lessening of the Floyd | Powers -- these could only be his handiwork. The Circle gathers and Floyd | its leader, the esteemed Belboz, reveals to them an ancient document Floyd | which portends evil days much like our own. Floyd | Floyd | "Krill's evil must be unmade," he begins, "but to send a powerful Floyd | Enchanter is ill-omened. It would be ruinous to reveal oversoon our Floyd | full powers." A ripple of concern spreads over the face of each Floyd | Enchanter. Belboz pauses, and collects his resolve. "Have hope! This Floyd | has been written by a hand far wiser than mine!" Floyd | Floyd | He recites a short spell and you appear. Belboz approaches, Floyd | transfixing you with his gaze, and hands you the document. The other Floyd | Enchanters await his decree. "These words, written ages ago, can have Floyd | only one meaning. You, a novice Enchanter with but a few simple spells Floyd | in your Book, must seek out Krill, explore the Castle he has Floyd | overthrown, and learn his secrets. Only then may his vast evil be Floyd | lessened or, with good fortune, destroyed." Floyd | Floyd | The Circle rises and intones a richly woven spell, whose many textures Floyd | imbue the small, darkened chamber with warmth and hope. There is a Floyd | surge of power; you are Sent.

| Doug says, "I doubt we could find a comp game that none of us has played, at this point" | |||

| Jacqueline asks, "Or maybe DW could map, since he's played it?" | |||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "If you're planning to stick around." | |||
| DavidW says, "If I remember this game's geography, we generally want to head east. There's a mountain in the way, though. And other things around." | |||

Floyd | Floyd | > | Peregrine gets Hobbit vibe. | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Honestly, if the map isn't too spoilery, I'm sure it's probably online and we could all just reference it. DW, what's your recommendation? Look at it, or avoid?" | |||
| DavidW says, "I seem to have misplaced my Zork binder." | |||

| Doug has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | Jacqueline asks, "Could you please take a look and let us know if it's cool for those of us who haven't played to reference it?" | ||
| DavidW says, "The map, if I remember, is mostly a mountain in the west half and a castle in the east half." | |||
| DavidW says, "You will want to explore around the mountain and its summit, and you don't really need much of a map for that." | |||
| Jacqueline asks (of Peregrine), "Which way would you like to go? Fade into the West, or go east?" | |||
| Jacqueline asks, "Hm. Let's go west first, actually. That okay?" | |||

Floyd ] Library Score: 80, Turns: 194 Floyd | > Floyd | > READ UNSEEN TERROR Floyd | Floyd | This legend, written in an ancient tongue, goes something like this: Floyd | At one time a shapeless and formless manifestation of evil was Floyd | disturbed from millenia of sleep. It was so powerful that it required Floyd | the combined wisdom of the leading enchanters of that age to conquer Floyd | it. The legend tells how the enchanters lured the Terror "to a recess Floyd | deep within the earth" by placing there a powerful spell scroll. When Floyd | it had reached the scroll, the enchanters trapped it there with a Floyd | spell that encased it in the living rock. The Terror was so horrible Floyd | that none would dare speak of it. A comment at the end of the Floyd | narration indicates that the story is considered to be quite fanciful; Floyd | no other chronicles of the age mention the Terror in any form.

A more absurd account can hardly be imagined. The universe, Floyd | it seems, was created by "Implementers" who directed the running of Floyd | great engines. These engines produced this world and others, strange Floyd | and wondrous, as a test or puzzle for others of their kind. It goes on Floyd | to state that these beings stand ready to aid those entrapped within Floyd | their creation.

Floyd | Fork
Floyd | You stand at a point of decision on a road which makes a wide fork to
Floyd | the northeast and southeast, circling the base of the Lonely Mountain,
Floyd | which looms high overhead to the east. A very long and winding road

Floyd |
Floyd | Trail
Floyd | The trail turns a corner here, bending out of sight to the southeast
Floyd | and southwest. The ground is higher here than to the south, allowing
Floyd | you to make out the top of the Lonely Mountain, shrouded in clouds. No
Floyd | path from here leads up the mountain, however.
Floyd |
Floyd | Trail Head
Floyd | You are on the northeast side of the Lonely Mountain, walking a narrow
Floyd | path through rolling hills. On one side of the path is a sign and
Floyd | behind that, to the northeast, a winding path through the thick
Floyd | undergrowth. The trail continues to the southeast.
Floyd |
Floyd | Shady Brook
Floyd | The trail ends here. A ruined stone foundation marks the site of the
Floyd | Old Lingolf House, which presumably was a monument of some sort. The
Floyd | trail head is off to the southwest, and a small brook flows slowly by.

Floyd | Village Outskirts
Floyd | You are on a road which enters a small village to the southwest and
Floyd | comes to a fork to the northeast. The Lonely Mountain looms above but
Floyd | there is no path from here which ascends the mountain.

Floyd | Deserted Village
Floyd | This is the castle's village. Formerly, peasants lived here, going to
Floyd | their farm plots each day. Merchants and artisans made it a center of
Floyd | cultural activity. But now it's deserted. Or almost: there is smoke
Floyd | rising from a particularly decrepit hovel to the south. A path travels
Floyd | through the village from southwest to northeast, heading towards the
Floyd | castle, and a less-used trail heads north up the mountain.
Floyd |

| |||
| Allen says (to Floyd), "in" | |||
Floyd | It is dark and smoky in here, but this is a place of great disorder,
Floyd | and its odor is indescribable. A pile of rags sits near a small pot
Floyd | which is bubbling and steaming over a tiny fire. The pile of rags
Floyd | sports a gnarled hand which busies itself with the noisome stew. A
Floyd | closer look reveals a withered crone at the other end of the hand.
Floyd |
Floyd | The creature looks you over keenly and speaks: "I should have thought
Floyd | they would send someone more ... more ..." She laughs in an unsettling
Floyd | way. "They've all left! A great storm is brewing in the east, my
Floyd | friend, and all have fled before it!" She starts to chuckle. "Take this
Floyd | and begone!" With a wave of her hand, you find yourself reeling out of
Floyd | the door of the hovel, holding some sort of scroll in your hand.

Floyd | the door, ignoring all harm to his person in the form of knives,
Floyd | tentacles, and molten lead. As three buckets of the latter pour over

Floyd | skewer him.

Floyd | human-sized rats which feed on his incinerated torso.

Floyd | Map Room
Floyd | This room in the high tower appears to be a map room, with hundreds of
Floyd | ancient maps covering the walls. A huge globe, made of gold, sits on a
Floyd | pedestal in the center of the room. Through the tower windows can be
Floyd | seen a vast forest stretching out to the northeast and the sea, covered
Floyd | in fog, to the east and south. Stairs to the south lead to the bottom
Floyd | of the tower.
Floyd | Lying on the floor is a purple scroll.

Floyd | Banquet Hall
Floyd | This desolate hall is nearly empty, save for a few long benches which
Floyd | are scattered throughout the room. The walls seem to be scorched, and
Floyd | everywhere are signs of decay. A sickening odor pervades the room, and
Floyd | wisps of acrid black smoke can be seen to the north. A wide passage
Floyd | leads south, and a small one opens to the east.
Floyd | To the north you can hear the sound of a group of low, guttural voices.
Floyd | There is a bedraggled and weary adventurer standing here. He is
Floyd | carrying a dusty book, a beautiful, ornamented egg, a worn silver
Floyd | spoon, a sword, and a brass lantern.
Floyd | The low, guttural voices seem to be coming in your direction.
Floyd | The adventurer attempts to eat his sword. I don't think it would agree
Floyd | with him.

Floyd | The adventurer turns into a fairly large newt, which scuttles off and
Floyd | is lost to sight.
Floyd | A group of four hunched and hairy shapes walks into your presence. They
Floyd | seem surprised to see you. After whispering a few guttural words to
Floyd | each other, they start to move toward you purposefully.

Floyd | You can't go that way.
Floyd | The group of hunched and hairy shapes takes you in their arms and
Floyd | escorts you into a huge temple.
Floyd |
Floyd | A low noise begins behind you, and you turn to see hundreds of hunched
Floyd | and hairy shapes. A guttural chant issues from their throats. Near you
Floyd | stands a figure draped in a robe of deepest black, brandishing a
Floyd | vicious dagger. The chant grows louder as the robed figure approaches
Floyd | the altar. As the shapes grab you, the figure in black speaks: "Take
Floyd | the victim to the tower. I shall prepare for the sacrifice!" The
Floyd | figures, whose form you can barely guess, take you from here through
Floyd | the northern door and into a prison cell. They take your possessions
Floyd | from you and close the door with a crash!
Floyd |
Floyd | Cell
Floyd | Everything you see is grey and lifeless, as though covered with a veil
Floyd | of ash. Sound is muted and there is a faint acrid odor.
Floyd | This is a small prison cell in the north tower of the temple. Hideous
Floyd | shapes can be seen through the iron-barred window in the prison door.
Floyd | From the temple, a bloodcurdling chant can be heard.

Floyd | This is a meadow near the sea. There is a smell of salt in the air.

Floyd | Beach
Floyd | This is a rocky beach along a grey and lifeless sea. There is dead
Floyd | seaweed covering many rocks, and listless waves barely stir the flotsam
Floyd | and jetsam here. There are many shells, but all are broken. A narrow

Floyd | combined wisdom of the leading enchanters of that age to conquer it.
Floyd | The legend tells how the enchanters lured the Terror "to a recess deep
Floyd | within the earth" by placing there a powerful spell scroll. When it had
Floyd | reached the scroll, the enchanters trapped it there with a spell that
Floyd | encased it in the living rock. The Terror was so horrible that none
Floyd | would dare speak of it. A comment at the end of the narration indicates
Floyd | that the story is considered to be quite fanciful; no other chronicles
Floyd | of the age mention the Terror in any form.
