Floyd | You are in a strange location, but you cannot remember how you got
Floyd | here. Everything is hazy, as though viewed through a gauze...
Floyd |
Floyd | Twisted Forest
Floyd | You are on a path through a blighted forest. The trees are sickly, and
Floyd | there is no undergrowth at all. One tree here looks climbable. The
Floyd | path, which ends here, continues to the northeast.
Floyd |
Floyd | A hellhound is racing straight toward you, its open jaws displaying
Floyd | rows of razor-sharp teeth.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| DavidW says, "oh! I forgot it starts this way." | |
| Taleslinger arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Jacqueline asks, "So, um, climb the tree to escape the hellhound?" | |
| BrianK says, "Seems like the logical solution" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "u" | ||
Floyd ] Tree Branch Score: 0, Turns: 1 Floyd | > Floyd | > U Floyd | Floyd | Tree Branch Floyd | You are on a large gnarled branch of an old and twisted tree. Floyd | Floyd | A giant boa constrictor is slithering along the branch toward you! Floyd | The hellhound leaps madly about the base of the tree, gnashing its Floyd | jaws. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| zarf arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | DavidW says, "I should find my infotater, when that part becomes relevant." | |
| Jacqueline says, "UM" | ||
| BrianK says, "Uh" | ||
| BrianK asks, "Do we have any free turns?" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "I bet the snake is friendly" | ||
| zarf says, "I remember that it starts this way :)" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "To quote Dr Jones the senior, 'Our situation has not improved.'" | ||
| Roger says, "This is the sort of game you get when your meeting rooms don't have any whiteboards" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "heh" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "feed boa constrictor to hellhound" | ||
Floyd ] Tree Branch Score: 0, Turns: 1 Floyd | > Floyd | > FEED BOA CONSTRICTOR TO HELLHOUND Floyd | Floyd | You're not holding the boa constrictor! Floyd | Floyd | > | BrianK asks, "If we're allowed to check our inventory without dying, then >i?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "I was thinking the same." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Your Quarters Score: 5, Turns: 2 Floyd | > Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are empty-handed. Floyd | Floyd | The snake begins wrapping itself around your torso, squeezing the life Floyd | out of you... Floyd | Floyd | ...and a moment later you wake up in a cold sweat and realize you've Floyd | been dreaming.

Floyd | The pulver spell (cause liquids to become dry). Floyd | The izyuk spell (fly like a bird). Floyd | The yomin spell (mind probe).

| kpaquette arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Jacqueline says, "sigh. right." | |
| Jacqueline says, "So how did we read the book, then? Nevermind." | ||
| BrianK says, "I assume we've already learned the frotz spell and can cast it" | ||
| Roger says, "The inventory of prepared spells is 'spells' I think" | ||
| kpaquette says, "I'm here." | ||
| zarf says, "Let me reassure you that frotzing the spell book will not make this game unwinnable. I'm almost positive." | ||
| DavidW says, "hm, I seem to not know where I put my Sorcerer box." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to kpaquette), "Hi, Katie. We're playing Sorcerer." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "spells" | ||
Floyd ] Your Quarters Score: 5, Turns: 7 Floyd | > Floyd | > SPELLS Floyd | Floyd | The gnusto, rezrov, and frotz spells are yours forever. Other than Floyd | that, you have no spells memorized. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Ah, ours forever." | |

Floyd ] Your Quarters Score: 5, Turns: 8 Floyd | > Floyd | > FROTZ BOOK Floyd | Floyd | There is an almost blinding flash of light as the spell book begins to Floyd | glow! It slowly fades to a less painful level, but the spell book is Floyd | now quite usable as a light source. Floyd | Floyd | Your Quarters, in the bed Floyd | This is your chamber in the Hall of the Guild of Enchanters, with a Floyd | doorway to the west. A private chamber is a great privilege, Floyd | especially for an Enchanter as young as yourself, but how many Floyd | Enchanters can say they defeated the infamous Krill? Floyd | Floyd | > | BrianK says, "That sounds almost romantic" | |
| Jacqueline says, "hee" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, very few can say that they've defeated Krill, including all of us." | ||
| kpaquette asks, "Can I please have sorcerer in a .z5 format?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I mean... well, you know what I mean." | ||
| zarf harrumphs | ||
| Jacqueline says (to kpaquette), "Sorry, I don't think this one is available online." | ||
| Taleslinger asks, "Is this Krill thing a reference to something?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of zarf), "Why for the harrumphing?" | ||
| Roger says, "The Enchanter bad-guy" | ||
| BrianK says, "Krill was the big bad in Enchanter" | ||
| zarf says (to j), "I defeated Krill." | ||
| zarf says, "*when I was twelve*" | ||
| Roger says, "I also defeated Krull" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to zarf), "Oh. Of course you did." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Roger), "Oh. I did not realize." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay, just me and Brian are the slackers then." | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims, "ANYWAY!" | ||
| BrianK says, "Hehe" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "And me! I'm also useless! HellO!" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Tale), "YAY" | ||
| DavidW says, "I can't find where I stored by infotater, but I found this file online: [LINK]" | ||
| BrianK says, "Well, we can go west or we can mess around with our magic spells" | ||
| kpaquette says, "Oh man. You mean I've got to sit here and wait for Jeff Harvey to get done with church and have nothing to do." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "f learn izyuk" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "learn izyuk" | ||
Floyd ] Your Quarters Score: 5, Turns: 9 Floyd | > Floyd | > LEARN IZYUK Floyd | Floyd | Using your best study habits, you learn the izyuk spell. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Legend has it that there's an improved flying spell called izwow." | |
| Jacqueline says, "haha" | ||
| BrianK says, "(you are flying)" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "I wonder if we can mind-probne ourselves" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Brian), "I know, but I wanted to be explicit about it. I feel like I'm really just floating, not flying." | ||
| DavidW says (to Taleslinger), "yes, but it gives you a headache." | ||

Floyd | I tried rousing you, but you seemed deep asleep. By the way, have you Floyd | seen Belboz anywhere? It's not like him to leave without telling Floyd | someone -- but then, he's been acting pretty odd of late. Floyd | Floyd | -- Frobar" Floyd | Floyd | You settle gently to the ground. Floyd | Floyd | > | BrianK says, "No, I just wanted to restate the location description going (you are flying)" | |
| BrianK says, "which is amusing to me for some reason" | ||
| Roger says, "We are wandering lonely as a cloud" | ||
| kpaquette says, "I'd better go." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Sorry, I stepped away because maga just returned from the Chinatown market with various goodies. He wanted to tell me of his treasures." | ||
| kpaquette goes home. | Jacqueline says, "I am back." | |

Floyd ] Chamber of the Circle Score: 5, Turns: 15 Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Chamber of the Circle Floyd | The meeting place of the Circle of Enchanters is a large, round room Floyd | with a high domed ceiling. A table occupies the center of the room. Floyd | Engraved on the wall is a list of tenets, the Guild's code of honor. Floyd | The only door, at the southernmost point of the perimeter, is open. Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "I think maybe the Scott Adams games had X" | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Read the stuff?" | ||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "read tenets" | ||
Floyd ] Chamber of the Circle Score: 5, Turns: 16 Floyd | > Floyd | > READ TENETS Floyd | Floyd | The first tenet states that Enchanters may never use their talents to Floyd | aid evil. The second points out that an Enchanter's duty is to the Floyd | Guild and to the Kingdom, not to the individual. Lesser tenets include Floyd | rules for conducting votes at meetings, guidelines for passing dishes Floyd | at Guild banquets, and penalties for revealing the Guild's secret Floyd | handshake. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "examine table" | ||
Floyd ] Chamber of the Circle Score: 5, Turns: 17 Floyd | > Floyd | > EXAMINE TABLE Floyd | Floyd | You see nothing special about the table. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I'm sad that the Guild's secret handshake thing is probably just a joke and we'll never hear about it again." | |
| Taleslinger says, "Man, terrible lack of implementation. Doesn't bode well for the game." | ||
| BrianK says, "and here I was thinking the handshake would be a puzzle" | ||
| DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "There's always room for fanfic." | ||

| Jacqueline exclaims, "To the south!" | ||

Ideal for leaving with Floyd | your loved ones if you go on Floyd | a long and hazardous journey.

Floyd ] Belboz's Quarters Score: 5, Turns: 25 Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK AT INFOTATER Floyd | Floyd | Like most infotaters, this one has several windows and a rotating data Floyd | wheel. It is leather-bound and beautifully illustrated. (NOTE: This is Floyd | the infotater included in your game package.) Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "[LINK]" | |
| Roger says, "The infotater is a pretty amazing artifact" | ||
| Roger says, "I should craft one up for... something..." | ||
| BrianK asks, "Is the infotater a pun on something?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I was really hoping that the infotater would have fewer windows and rotating data wheels. I was kind of hoping it could be mashed with butter and milk and slathered in gravy." | ||
| Roger says, "information rotater? I dunno." | ||
| BrianK says, "That seems reasonable" | ||
| DavidW says, "Yeah, it's just 'information' + 'rotater' mashed together." | ||
| BrianK says, "Anyway I don't suppose we need to take it with us in the game, then" | ||
| BrianK says, "assuming inventory limits are still a thing in this game, too" | ||
| DavidW says, "I don't think we need it in-game. Just the info on it." | ||

Floyd ] Belboz's Quarters Score: 5, Turns: 27 Floyd | > Floyd | > REZROV JOURNAL Floyd | Floyd | The journal seems to bear a spell protecting it against the simple Floyd | rezrov spell. Floyd | Floyd | The Guild Hall doorbell chimes. Floyd | Floyd | > | BrianK says, "Oh, someone's here" | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Should we... answer the door?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I think we're the only one home." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Then again, not sure we're done in here." | ||
| DavidW says, "It's possible that you may want to restart anyway, once you're more acclimated with the Guild." | ||

The hanging is affixed to Floyd | the wall at its upper corners. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Belboz's Quarters Score: 20, Turns: 41 Floyd | > Floyd | > READ JOURNAL Floyd | Floyd | You skim through the pages of the journal, a combination diary and Floyd | notebook. Most of the notations, written in Belboz's familiar flowing Floyd | script, deal with meetings of the Circle and business of the Guild. Floyd | Floyd | There is one interesting entry toward the end of the book. Belboz Floyd | refers to an ancient and evil force known simply as Jeearr, a demon Floyd | whose powers could endanger the Circle and possibly the entire Floyd | kingdom. He has decided to conduct some dangerous exploratory Floyd | experiments, operating alone to shield the Circle from the perils Floyd | involved. Floyd | Floyd | The last three entries are strange and frightening -- written in a Floyd | hand quite different from that of Belboz, and in a language totally Floyd | unfamiliar to you. Floyd | Floyd | On the inside cover is an inscription, written in a light script, Floyd | which reads "Current code: dorn". Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "Magic is hard" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Clearly." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So there's a new Big Bad. Great." | ||
| BrianK says, "It doesn't look like we'll need to take the journal with us either, as long as we remember the code "dorn"" | ||
| DavidW says, "Seems reasonable." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Fortunately, we have a mudder descended from the house of Dorn, so that's easy to remember." | ||
| DavidW says, "I wonder if there's a rucksack or similar in this Guild or not. I don't remember that part." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh, and a Dorn is evidently a thing that can paralyze you, according to this infotater." | ||
| DavidW says, "A dornbeast shows up in another game." | ||

Floyd | Floyd | **** You have died **** Floyd | Floyd | Your guardian angel, draped in white, appears floating in the Floyd | nothingness before you.

| Jacqueline asks, "That's it? Kaboom?" | ||
| DavidW says, "oh. A bit quick there." | ||
| Allen says, "yeah. It can be kinda fun to catalog all the different ways to die" | ||
| DavidW says, "I thought it'd be more epic." | ||
| Roger says, "The age of memory constraints" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "You all heard that needle scratch on the record, then the music stopping? That was because the ending was so abrupt." | ||
| DavidW says, "hm. I don't think I thought of searching out all the hidden corners of this game. Back when I first played, I was just trying to win." | ||
| Allen says, "I compiled all the things I could think to search for in the encyclopedia" | ||
| Allen says, "and wrote them down on notepads" | ||
| DavidW says, "I didn't consider various what-ifs like being a bat in the Haunted House, or animating King Duncky's statue." | ||
| DavidW says, "oh right, there's that huge book in the Guild." | ||
| BrianK says, "Ha, I didn't consider being a bat in the haunted house either" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Nor I. Now I want to." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Is that an actual thing, or just a guess?" | ||
| Allen asks, "anyone want to see a decompiled pseudo-inform version of this?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm guessing." | ||
| DavidW says, "My notes have very little on the encyclopaedia. A few topics noted, but obviously I didn't try to be exhaustive in any way." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Allen), "That is a neat offer, but I think I'm good." | ||
| DavidW says, "I looked up Dimwit, Duncanthrax, Egreth Castle, Quendor, Antharia, Kovalli, Fort Griffspotter, Infotater, and Borphee." | ||
| Allen says, "if you're interested: [LINK]" | ||
| DavidW says, "thanks" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Are you okay with that link staying in the transcript, or is it temporary?" | ||
| Allen says, "good enough. I may eventually clean it out to save space on plover but it'll be years" | ||
| Allen says, "since more space was added, it'll be a while" | ||
| DavidW says, "I hope there's space on plover for a while. That's where all my walkthroughs are." | ||
| inky says, "I don't understand the code in ReadAboutSub" | ||
| inky asks, "is this some weirdness of the decompilation?" | ||
| Allen says, "possibly." | ||
| inky says, "oh, hmm, maybe it's a memory-saving thing" | ||
| inky says, "the rooms legitimately have those vocab" | ||
| Allen says, "ah! Yeah, and of course, you'd never need to refer to a room with a verb" | ||
| Allen says, "also: | "According to the article, Duncanthrax built the Glass Maze on a whim, to amuse his friends and torture his enemies. A labyrinth of 27 cubicles, it was full of devilish pitfalls and was located near his castle, Egreth.";" | ||
| Allen says, "see, I didn't give a spoiler!" | ||
| Allen says, "you just didn't read about it first" | ||
| inky asks, "is that a "this way to the egress" joke?" | ||
