Floyd |
Floyd | Too late. The drawbridge crashes shut against the tower wall. You turn
Floyd | to face your enemy, and find yourself staring into the open maw of
Floyd | Thermofax.
Floyd |
Floyd | Only your Magick sword can save you now. You swing it high, speak the
Floyd | Word and stand unhurt as the blade absorbs the searing dragon-breath.
Floyd |
Floyd | The reptile bellows with rage and flaps its wings to fan the fire in
Floyd | its belly. You are advancing, sword poised to strike, when a familiar
Floyd | voice shatters the daydream and stays your mighty hand...

Floyd | Hilltop
Floyd | You're on a hilltop overlooking the seaside village of Festeron.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands the Festeron Post Office. It's a little brick
Floyd | building with a neatly-trimmed lawn. The Post Office door stands
Floyd | invitingly open.
Floyd |
Floyd | Roads run down the hill to the east and west. There's a signpost
Floyd | nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | Somebody inside the Post Office is calling you.
Floyd |
Floyd | Okay, what do you want to do now?

Floyd | Post Office
Floyd | This is the lobby of the Festeron Post Office. The walls are lined with
Floyd | small, private mailboxes and wanted posters. A service counter runs
Floyd | along the entire length of the room.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your boss, Mr. Crisp, is behind the service counter reading other
Floyd | people's postcards.
Floyd |
Floyd | Mr. Crisp hides the postcards away as you enter. "Where have you been?"
Floyd | he barks angrily. "Daydreaming again, eh? I've been looking everywhere
Floyd | for you!"

| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine boss" | ||
Floyd | He's wearing a regulation Post Office uniform, which does little to
Floyd | hide his ugly face.
Floyd |
Floyd | Mr. Crisp reaches under the service counter and pulls out a mysterious
Floyd | envelope. "We just got this Special Delivery," he snarls, tossing it
Floyd | onto the service counter. "I want you to drop it off right away. That
Floyd | means NOW!"
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?

Floyd | Spooky Copse
Floyd | A copse of willow trees makes this part of the cemetery look really
Floyd | spooky. Narrow lanes wander south and west.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's an open grave nearby, freshly dug, with a tombstone erected
Floyd | next to it.
Floyd |
Floyd | An old gravedigger is resting under a willow tree.
Floyd |
Floyd | The gravedigger nods a greeting as you approach.
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine grave" | ||
Floyd | It's six feet deep and freshly dug. You can see an old bone inside.
Floyd |
Floyd | The gravedigger notices the mysterious envelope you're holding. "That's
Floyd | a mighty mysterious-lookin' envelope you got there," he says. "Let's
Floyd | have a look at it."
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "show envelope to gravedigger" | ||
Floyd | The gravedigger peers at the address on the mysterious envelope. "Hmm,"
Floyd | he mutters, handing it back to you. "Could've sworn I buried that old
Floyd | woman years ago."
Floyd |
Floyd | (You are again holding the mysterious envelope.)
Floyd |
Floyd | "Couldn't ask for a nicer day for diggin' graves."
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "enter grave" | ||
Floyd | The gravedigger reaches into the open grave and pulls you out. "Don't
Floyd | go in there!" he cries. "You might get buried alive!"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Got to go," says the gravedigger, picking up his shovel. "See you
Floyd | soon."
Floyd |
Floyd | The old man ambles away to the west.
Floyd |
Floyd | (You won't see the "What next?" prompt any more.)

Floyd | Twilight Glen
Floyd | The trees here are so thick, it's almost too dark to see! You can make
Floyd | out an open iron gate to the north, and a narrow lane between the
Floyd | tombstones winds off to the east.
Floyd |
Floyd | There must have been a burial here recently. Somebody left their
Floyd | umbrella leaning up against a tombstone.
Floyd |
Floyd | The gravedigger is locking the iron gate from the outside as you
Floyd | approach. "Keep out of the cemetery after Dark," he tells you with a
Floyd | sly wink.
Floyd |

Floyd | Outside Cottage
Floyd | You're outside the cottage of Miss Voss, the town librarian. The road
Floyd | turns north toward the village, and bends upward to the summit of Post
Floyd | Office Hill.
Floyd |
Floyd | As you approach the cottage you are greeted by the tiniest poodle
Floyd | you've ever seen in your entire life. It charges across the street,
Floyd | yapping angrily and showing its sharp little teeth.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can smell the poodle's hot breath as it yaps.

Floyd | Rotary South
Floyd | This is the south side of the Festeron Rotary. A road branches south,
Floyd | towards Post Office Hill.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Festeron Public Library, famous for its museum of local historic
Floyd | artifacts, stands proudly on the nearby corner.
Floyd |
Floyd | Miss Voss, the town librarian, is locking the library door as you
Floyd | approach. "Just the person I was looking for!" she exclaims, smiling
Floyd | brightly.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine miss voss" | ||
Floyd | She's holding a purse and an armful of books.
Floyd |
Floyd | Miss Voss retrieves a violet slip of paper from the depths of her
Floyd | purse. "Be a sweetie and give this note to your dear boss, Mr. Crisp,"
Floyd | she coos, holding the note out to you. "I'd be ever so much obliged."

Floyd | Park
Floyd | You're standing in a circular park, surrounded by the Festeron Rotary.
Floyd | Walks converge from four directions on a shallow marble fountain,
Floyd | filled with sparkling water.
Floyd |
Floyd | A statue stands in the middle of the fountain.
Floyd |

Floyd | Rotary North
Floyd | This is the northern side of the Festeron Rotary. A road leads north,
Floyd | towards the river.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the corner stands a quaint village church. Its little white steeple
Floyd | is straight out of a country postcard. The church door stands
Floyd | invitingly open.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Floyd | Cliff Bottom
Floyd | You're at the bottom of a cliff that rises up from the north bank of
Floyd | the river. A steep trail winds upward.
Floyd |
Floyd | A gnarled tree trunk stands nearby, a lone branch its only adornment.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "get branch" | ||
Floyd | Crack! The dead branch snaps off the gnarled tree trunk and falls to
Floyd | the ground with a thud.

Floyd |
Floyd | Cliff Edge
Floyd | You're standing high on a rocky cliff, at the top of a steep trail
Floyd | leading downward. Looking southwest, you can see the shadow of Post
Floyd | Office Hill creeping across the village as the sun sinks into a bank of
Floyd | clouds.
Floyd |
Floyd | The peaceful scenery is disturbed by a tiny figure emerging from the
Floyd | distant Post Office. It stares in your direction for a few moments,
Floyd | checks its wrist and shakes a threatening little fist at you.
Floyd |
Floyd | A little old-fashioned store stands nearby. Its brightly painted
Floyd | shutters and thatched roof remind you of something out of a fairy tale.
Floyd | A curiously painted sign over the front door reads, "Ye Olde Magick
Floyd | Shoppe."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "enter shop" | ||
Floyd | The Magick Shoppe door is closed.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open door" | ||
Floyd | A concealed bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | Okay, the Magick Shoppe door is now open.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "enter shop" | ||
Floyd | Magick Shoppe
Floyd | You're in the front showroom of the Magick Shoppe.
Floyd |
Floyd | Every inch of wall space is crowded with magic tricks, puzzles and
Floyd | mystical paraphernalia. A glass case offers a selection of obscene
Floyd | jokes and naughty birthday cards.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the corner stands an ancient grandfather clock, its dial ornamented
Floyd | with a frowning crescent moon and other celestial symbols.
Floyd |
Floyd | The front door of the Magick Shoppe is wide open. At the west end of
Floyd | the room, you can see another exit concealed by a curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sudden gust of wind slams the Magick Shoppe door closed. A concealed
Floyd | bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Just a moment!" cries a voice behind the curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine clock" | ||
Floyd | The grinning grandfather clock says it's 3:45 pm.
Floyd |
Floyd | The noisy tick of the grandfather clock is making you uneasy.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd | Time passes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The curtain opens so quickly it makes you jump.
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman standing before you is older than your oldest aunt. Her thin,
Floyd | pale face and bony hands make her look fragile, like a fading signature
Floyd | in an antique book. But her eyes remember everything they have ever
Floyd | seen.
Floyd |
Floyd | You appraise one another for a long moment before she breaks the ice.
Floyd | "Welcome in, welcome!" she chortles. "Don't get many visitors this late
Floyd | in the day."
Floyd |
Floyd | The room seems oddly quiet all of a sudden.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "give envelope to woman" | ||
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 5 points! Your total score is 20 out of
Floyd | 100.)
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman turns pale as she takes the mysterious envelope from you.
Floyd | "It's been a long, long time since I last saw this handwriting," she
Floyd | murmurs, turning it over in her hands. "Hoped I never would again."
Floyd |
Floyd | She starts to open the mysterious envelope, thinks better of it and
Floyd | hands it back to you. "Will you open it up and read it to me?" she
Floyd | pleads. "I'll never find my glasses in this mess."
Floyd |
Floyd | (You are again holding the mysterious envelope.)
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open envelope" | ||
Floyd | (You should now open the mysterious envelope in your Wishbringer
Floyd | package.)
Floyd |
Floyd | Opening the mysterious envelope reveals a letter.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Go ahead, dear. Read the letter to me. I'm waiting."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "read letter" | ||
Floyd | (to the old woman)
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 1 point! Your total score is 21 out of
Floyd | 100.)
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman is motionless as you read. Glancing up, you see tears of
Floyd | anger forming; but she turns away as your eyes meet.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Kidnapped," she whispers after a long silence. She paces aimlessly
Floyd | around the room, deep in thought.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Many seek to gain the Stone of Dreams," she mutters, mostly to
Floyd | herself. "Yet few can imagine the price. For years I have fought to
Floyd | conceal it from the Evil One and others like her. My youth, my home and
Floyd | family, all were forfeited for its protection. And now," her voice
Floyd | breaking with emotion, "now it claims my only companion."
Floyd |
Floyd | Impulsively, the woman snatches away the letter and envelope and
Floyd | crumples them in her trembling hands. "No one is strong enough to guard
Floyd | Wishbringer alone."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "ask woman about wishbringer" | ||
Floyd | "Ahhh," sighs the old woman wistfully.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman makes an effort to compose herself.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Thank you for coming all this way for me," she says, reaching up to a
Floyd | shelf full of cheap gags. "I know I'm not supposed to tip you, but take
Floyd | this little trinket anyway."
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman holds out a small metal can for you to take.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take can" | ||
Floyd | Taken.
Floyd |
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 3 points! Your total score is 24 out of
Floyd | 100.)
Floyd |
Floyd | "It's getting Dark outside," the old woman remarks, and you can almost
Floyd | hear the capital D. "Maybe you should be getting back to town."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open door" | ||
Floyd | Strange. Despite your best efforts, the front door refuses to budge.
Floyd |
Floyd | "That door always sticks this time of year," notes the old woman drily.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman hobbles over to the Magick Shoppe door and opens it. A
Floyd | concealed bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Keep a sharp eye out for my cat, won't you?" She speaks the words
Floyd | slowly and distinctly. "Bring her to me if you find her. She's black as
Floyd | night from head to tail, except for one little white spot... right
Floyd | HERE."
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman touches the middle of your forehead with her finger. The
Floyd | light outside dims suddenly, like a cloud passing over the sun.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "exit shop" | ||
Floyd | Your body seems unwilling to respond.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman takes away her finger. Your forehead is tingling.
Floyd |
Floyd | "The Stone of Dreams can help you in your search. I cannot reveal the
Floyd | place where I have hidden it, for the Evil One would see your thoughts
Floyd | and take the treasure for herself. You must discover it alone, and rely
Floyd | on legends to instruct you in its mysteries."
Floyd |
Floyd | As she speaks, the old woman gently leads you through the door of the
Floyd | Magick Shoppe. She pauses before closing the door.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Return the cat to me, and Wishbringer shall be yours.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Her name is Chaos."
Floyd |
Floyd | A concealed bell tinkles merrily.

Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | Cliff Edge
Floyd | You're standing high on a rocky cliff, at the top of a steep trail
Floyd | leading downward.
Floyd |
Floyd | The surrounding landscape has disappeared under a thick blanket of
Floyd | evening fog. All the familiar buildings and landmarks are completely
Floyd | hidden; only the summit of Post Office Hill is high enough to pierce
Floyd | the cloud, rising like a lonely island in a sea of mist...
Floyd |
Floyd | ... an island with a tower on it.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's a TOWER where the Post Office used to be! The massive outline
Floyd | is hard to make out against the twilight sky. But the longer you stare,
Floyd | the clearer and more frightening it becomes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Magick Shoppe stands nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Floyd |
Floyd | Cliff Bottom
Floyd | You're at the bottom of a cliff that rises up from the north bank of
Floyd | the river.
Floyd |
Floyd | A dead branch is lying on the ground.
Floyd |
Floyd | A gnarled tree trunk, stripped of all its branches, stands nearby. A
Floyd | vulture perched on top is watching every move you make.

Floyd |
Floyd | North of Bridge
Floyd | This is the north side of the Witchville Bridge. Sheer cliff walls rise
Floyd | abruptly to the north and west. A path wanders east along the shore of
Floyd | the river.
Floyd |
Floyd | A rickety toll gate has been thrown up across the entrance to the
Floyd | covered bridge. A handpainted sign is nailed to the middle of the
Floyd | closed gate.
Floyd |
Floyd | Standing near the toll gate is an ugly, gnomelike creature. A less
Floyd | original story would probably refer to it as a troll.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "read sign" | ||
Floyd | The childlike scrawl is hard to decipher. With a little imagination,
Floyd | you can make out the phrase "Toll Bridge, One Gold Coin."
Floyd |
Floyd | The vulture hovers in the sky high overhead.
Floyd |
Floyd | The can rattles in your hand.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "give coin to troll" | ||
Floyd | The troll snatches away your gold coin with a grunt and squints at it
Floyd | suspiciously. "Ugh!" he cries, holding it up to the moonlight. "This is
Floyd | a fake!" He points accusingly at the familiar profile of one of
Floyd | Festeron's founding fathers, throws your coin to the ground and pulls
Floyd | out another. "This is what an OFFICIAL gold coin looks like!"
Floyd |
Floyd | The troll proudly exhibits his coin. It shows the profile of an
Floyd | evil-looking old woman.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "give umbrella to troll" | ||
Floyd | The troll studies the umbrella closely to see if it resembles a gold
Floyd | coin, and pitches it to the ground when he decides that it doesn't.

Floyd |
Floyd | Only your Magick sword can save you now. You swing it high, speak the

Floyd | Hilltop
Floyd | You're on a hilltop overlooking the seaside village of Festeron.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands the Festeron Post Office. It's a little brick
Floyd | building with a neatly-trimmed lawn. The Post Office door stands
Floyd | invitingly open.
Floyd |
Floyd | Roads run down the hill to the east and west. There's a signpost
Floyd | nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | Somebody inside the Post Office is calling you.
Floyd |
Floyd | Okay, what do you want to do now?
Floyd | >

| Guenni clears the save counter. | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd | Post Office
Floyd | This is the lobby of the Festeron Post Office. The walls are lined with
Floyd | small, private mailboxes and wanted posters. A service counter runs
Floyd | along the entire length of the room.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your boss, Mr. Crisp, is behind the service counter reading other
Floyd | people's postcards.
Floyd |
Floyd | Mr. Crisp hides the postcards away as you enter. "Where have you been?"
Floyd | he barks angrily. "Daydreaming again, eh? I've been looking everywhere
Floyd | for you!"

Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd | Time passes.
Floyd |
Floyd | Mr. Crisp reaches under the service counter and pulls out a mysterious
Floyd | envelope. "We just got this Special Delivery," he snarls, tossing it
Floyd | onto the service counter. "I want you to drop it off right away. That
Floyd | means NOW!"
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take envelope" | ||
Floyd | Taken.
Floyd |
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 5 points! Your total score is 6 out of

Floyd |
Floyd | Mr. Crisp drums his fingers on the service counter impatiently. "Get
Floyd | moving! The Magick Shoppe closes at five o'clock!"
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?

| Guenni says (to floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd | As you leave the Post Office, somebody slams and locks the door behind
Floyd | you.

Floyd | Outside Cemetery
Floyd | You're standing next to an open iron gate that leads west into the
Floyd | Festeron Cemetery. A road runs east to the top of Post Office Hill.
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd | The cemetery is a spooky place. Are you sure you want to go in there? Floyd | Floyd | (Please type YES or NO.) > | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "y" | ||
Floyd |
Floyd | You have been warned.
Floyd |
Floyd | Creepy Corner
Floyd | You're in a creepy corner of the Festeron Cemetery, surrounded by
Floyd | silent tombstones. An iron gate opens to the east, and a narrow lane
Floyd | wanders north.
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd | Spooky Copse
Floyd | A copse of willow trees makes this part of the cemetery look really
Floyd | spooky. Narrow lanes wander south and west.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's an open grave nearby, freshly dug, with a tombstone erected
Floyd | next to it.
Floyd |
Floyd | An old gravedigger is resting under a willow tree.
Floyd |
Floyd | The gravedigger nods a greeting as you approach.
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "x grave" | ||
Floyd | (There aren't any verbs in that sentence!)
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine grave" | ||
Floyd | It's six feet deep and freshly dug. You can see an old bone inside.
Floyd |
Floyd | The gravedigger notices the mysterious envelope you're holding. "That's
Floyd | a mighty mysterious-lookin' envelope you got there," he says. "Let's
Floyd | have a look at it."
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "show envelope to gravedigger" | ||
Floyd | The gravedigger peers at the address on the mysterious envelope. "Hmm,"
Floyd | he mutters, handing it back to you. "Could've sworn I buried that old
Floyd | woman years ago."
Floyd |
Floyd | (You are again holding the mysterious envelope.)
Floyd |
Floyd | "Couldn't ask for a nicer day for diggin' graves."
Floyd |
Floyd | What next?
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine bone" | ||
Floyd | You see nothing extraordinary about the old bone.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Got to go," says the gravedigger, picking up his shovel. "See you
Floyd | soon."
Floyd |
Floyd | The old man ambles away to the west.
Floyd |
Floyd | (You won't see the "What next?" prompt any more.)
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "enter grave" | ||
Floyd | Open Grave
Floyd | You're at the bottom of an open grave, surrounded by six-foot walls of
Floyd | dirt.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's an old bone here.
Floyd |

Floyd | Taken.

Floyd | Twilight Glen
Floyd | The trees here are so thick, it's almost too dark to see! You can make
Floyd | out an open iron gate to the north, and a narrow lane between the
Floyd | tombstones winds off to the east.
Floyd |
Floyd | There must have been a burial here recently. Somebody left their
Floyd | umbrella leaning up against a tombstone.
Floyd |
Floyd | The gravedigger is locking the iron gate from the outside as you
Floyd | approach. "Keep out of the cemetery after Dark," he tells you with a
Floyd | sly wink.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can hear him chuckling as he disappears to the north.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take umbrella" | ||

Floyd | Outside Cottage
Floyd | You're outside the cottage of Miss Voss, the town librarian. The road
Floyd | turns north toward the village, and bends upward to the summit of Post
Floyd | Office Hill.
Floyd |
Floyd | As you approach the cottage you are greeted by the tiniest poodle
Floyd | you've ever seen in your entire life. It charges across the street,
Floyd | yapping angrily and showing its sharp little teeth.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can smell the poodle's hot breath as it yaps.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyddrop), "bone" | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "drop bone" | ||
Floyd | The poodle tests the old bone with its tongue, lies down and begins to
Floyd | gnaw on it, keeping a red eye on you.

Floyd | (Your score just went up by 3 points! Your total score is 10 out of
Floyd | 100.)
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd | The poodle yaps a threat as you back away.
Floyd |
Floyd | Rotary South
Floyd | This is the south side of the Festeron Rotary. A road branches south,
Floyd | towards Post Office Hill.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Festeron Public Library, famous for its museum of local historic
Floyd | artifacts, stands proudly on the nearby corner.
Floyd |
Floyd | Miss Voss, the town librarian, is locking the library door as you
Floyd | approach. "Just the person I was looking for!" she exclaims, smiling
Floyd | brightly.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine miss voss" | ||
Floyd | She's holding a purse and an armful of books.
Floyd |
Floyd | Miss Voss retrieves a violet slip of paper from the depths of her
Floyd | purse. "Be a sweetie and give this note to your dear boss, Mr. Crisp,"
Floyd | she coos, holding the note out to you. "I'd be ever so much obliged."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take note" | ||
Floyd | Taken.
Floyd |
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 3 points! Your total score is 13 out of
Floyd | 100.)
Floyd |
Floyd | Miss Voss hurries away down the street. "Thanks! Toody-loo!"

Floyd | Park
Floyd | You're standing in a circular park, surrounded by the Festeron Rotary.
Floyd | Walks converge from four directions on a shallow marble fountain,
Floyd | filled with sparkling water.
Floyd |
Floyd | A statue stands in the middle of the fountain.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine fountain" | ||
Floyd | You can see a gold coin and a goldfish in the fountain.

Floyd | Rotary East
Floyd | You're on the eastern side of the Festeron Rotary. A street branches
Floyd | off to the east, towards the bay.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the corner nearby stands a charming little movie theater. Showtimes
Floyd | and admission prices are listed on a schedule near the closed entrance,
Floyd | and a marquee announces the current feature.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd | Pleasure Wharf
Floyd | You're standing near the entrance to the Pleasure Wharf, the town's
Floyd | most popular tourist attraction. The Wharf extends eastward into
Floyd | Festeron Bay, and a tidal beach curves north along the shore.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands a ramshackle old building. Colorful lights, curious
Floyd | electronic sounds and a neon sign beckon you through the open entrance.
Floyd |
Floyd | A big mailbox is nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd | Video Arcade
Floyd | This old building is the home of a sleazy arcade, lined with coin-op
Floyd | video games. The machines are all deserted and quiet, except for one in
Floyd | the corner that emits a feeble "wokka-wokka" sound.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sign on the wall says, "All Games One Token."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine machine" | ||
Floyd | The game machine is equipped with a video screen, a joystick, a big red
Floyd | button and a narrow slot for tokens. A lurid logo ("LEATHER GODDESSES
Floyd | OF PHOBOS!") is painted on the side.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "press button" | ||
Floyd | Are you sure you want to push the big red button? Floyd | Floyd | (Please type YES or NO.) > | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "y" | ||
Floyd | Floyd | You don't know what this game machine might do! You don't really want Floyd | to press that big red button, do you? Floyd | Floyd | (Please type YES or NO.) > | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "y" | ||
Floyd |
Floyd | (Okay, just testing you.)
Floyd |
Floyd | Nothing exciting happens.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "put coin in slot" | ||
Floyd | The slot is too narrow.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine joystick" | ||
Floyd | The joystick can be moved north, south, east or west.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "move joystick n" | ||

Floyd |
Floyd | A big mailbox is nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd | Tidal Pool
Floyd | You're on a damp stretch of sand that extends north towards Festeron
Floyd | Point, and south to the Pleasure Wharf.
Floyd |
Floyd | A large conch shell is lying in the sand at your feet.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take shell" | ||
Floyd | Taken.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine it" | ||
Floyd | The conch shell is smooth and shiny. It'll look great on your TV set
Floyd | back home.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd | Lighthouse
Floyd | This is where the river empties into Festeron Bay. A beach follows the
Floyd | shore of the bay to the south, and a path leads west along the
Floyd | riverbank.
Floyd |
Floyd | A miniature lighthouse, barely ten feet high, stands blinking on the
Floyd | shore nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | Perched on top of the lighthouse is a pelican, watching you through
Floyd | half-closed eyelids.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "u" | ||
Floyd | You can't go that way.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "enter lighthouse" | ||
Floyd | There aren't any entrances or openings.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd | Rocky Path
Floyd | You're on a rocky path that runs east and west along the banks of the
Floyd | Festeron River. A dense, impenetrable forest borders the south edge of
Floyd | the path.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd | South of Bridge
Floyd | This is the south side of a covered bridge that spans the Festeron
Floyd | River. Paths lead off to the east and west, and a road leads south to
Floyd | the village.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "n" | ||

Floyd | You're on a covered bridge that spans the Festeron River. A sign hangs
Floyd | on an arch overhead.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd | North of Bridge
Floyd | This is the north side of the Festeron Bridge. Sheer cliff walls rise
Floyd | abruptly to the north and west. A path wanders east along the shore of
Floyd | the river.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd | Cliff Bottom
Floyd | You're at the bottom of a cliff that rises up from the north bank of
Floyd | the river. A steep trail winds upward.
Floyd |
Floyd | A gnarled tree trunk stands nearby, a lone branch its only adornment.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "u" | ||
Floyd | (The trail you're climbing is narrow and twisty. It's a good idea to
Floyd | draw a map as you go up.)

Floyd |
Floyd | Cliff Edge
Floyd | You're standing high on a rocky cliff, at the top of a steep trail
Floyd | leading downward. Looking southwest, you can see the shadow of Post
Floyd | Office Hill creeping across the village as the sun sinks into a bank of
Floyd | clouds.
Floyd |
Floyd | The peaceful scenery is disturbed by a tiny figure emerging from the
Floyd | distant Post Office. It stares in your direction for a few moments,
Floyd | checks its wrist and shakes a threatening little fist at you.
Floyd |
Floyd | A little old-fashioned store stands nearby. Its brightly painted
Floyd | shutters and thatched roof remind you of something out of a fairy tale.
Floyd | A curiously painted sign over the front door reads, "Ye Olde Magick
Floyd | Shoppe."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open door" | ||
Floyd | A concealed bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | Okay, the Magick Shoppe door is now open.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "enter shop" | ||
Floyd | Magick Shoppe
Floyd | You're in the front showroom of the Magick Shoppe.
Floyd |
Floyd | Every inch of wall space is crowded with magic tricks, puzzles and
Floyd | mystical paraphernalia. A glass case offers a selection of obscene
Floyd | jokes and naughty birthday cards.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the corner stands an ancient grandfather clock, its dial ornamented
Floyd | with a staring crescent moon and other celestial symbols.
Floyd |
Floyd | The front door of the Magick Shoppe is wide open. At the west end of
Floyd | the room, you can see another exit concealed by a curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sudden gust of wind slams the Magick Shoppe door closed. A concealed
Floyd | bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Just a moment!" cries a voice behind the curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd | Time passes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The noisy tick of the grandfather clock is making you uneasy.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine clock" | ||
Floyd | The frowning grandfather clock says it's 3:59 pm.
Floyd |
Floyd | The curtain opens so quickly it makes you jump.
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman standing before you is older than your oldest aunt. Her thin,
Floyd | pale face and bony hands make her look fragile, like a fading signature
Floyd | in an antique book. But her eyes remember everything they have ever
Floyd | seen.
Floyd |
Floyd | You appraise one another for a long moment before she breaks the ice.
Floyd | "Welcome in, welcome!" she chortles. "Don't get many visitors this late
Floyd | in the day."
Floyd |
Floyd | The room seems oddly quiet all of a sudden.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "give envelope to woman" | ||
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 5 points! Your total score is 20 out of
Floyd | 100.)
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman turns pale as she takes the mysterious envelope from you.
Floyd | "It's been a long, long time since I last saw this handwriting," she
Floyd | murmurs, turning it over in her hands. "Hoped I never would again."
Floyd |
Floyd | She starts to open the mysterious envelope, thinks better of it and
Floyd | hands it back to you. "Will you open it up and read it to me?" she
Floyd | pleads. "I'll never find my glasses in this mess."
Floyd |
Floyd | (You are again holding the mysterious envelope.)
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open envelope" | ||
Floyd | (You should now open the mysterious envelope in your Wishbringer
Floyd | package.)
Floyd |
Floyd | Opening the mysterious envelope reveals a letter.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Go ahead, dear. Don't be bashful. Read the letter to me, please."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "read letter" | ||
Floyd | (to the old woman)
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 1 point! Your total score is 21 out of
Floyd | 100.)
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman is motionless as you read. Glancing up, you see tears of
Floyd | anger forming; but she turns away as your eyes meet.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Kidnapped," she whispers after a long silence. She paces aimlessly
Floyd | around the room, deep in thought.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Many seek to gain the Stone of Dreams," she mutters, mostly to
Floyd | herself. "Yet few can imagine the price. For years I have fought to
Floyd | conceal it from the Evil One and others like her. My youth, my home and
Floyd | family, all were forfeited for its protection. And now," her voice
Floyd | breaking with emotion, "now it claims my only companion."
Floyd |
Floyd | Impulsively, the woman snatches away the letter and envelope and
Floyd | crumples them in her trembling hands. "No one is strong enough to guard
Floyd | Wishbringer alone."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open door" | ||
Floyd | That's odd. Despite your best efforts, the front door refuses to budge.
Floyd |
Floyd | "That door always sticks this time of year," notes the old woman drily.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman makes an effort to compose herself.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Thank you for coming all this way for me," she says, reaching up to a
Floyd | shelf full of cheap gags. "I know I'm not supposed to tip you, but take
Floyd | this little trinket anyway."
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman holds out a small metal can for you to take.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floydtake), "can" | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take can" | ||
Floyd | Taken.
Floyd |
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 3 points! Your total score is 24 out of
Floyd | 100.)
Floyd |
Floyd | "It's getting Dark outside," the old woman remarks, and you can almost
Floyd | hear the capital D. "Maybe you should be getting back to town."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "exit shop" | ||
Floyd | The Magick Shoppe door is closed.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman hobbles over to the Magick Shoppe door and opens it. A
Floyd | concealed bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Keep a sharp eye out for my cat, won't you?" She speaks the words
Floyd | slowly and distinctly. "Bring her to me if you find her. She's black as
Floyd | night from head to tail, except for one little white spot... right
Floyd | HERE."
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman touches the middle of your forehead with her finger. The
Floyd | light outside dims suddenly, like a cloud passing over the sun.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "d" | ||
Floyd | Your body seems unwilling to respond.
Floyd |
Floyd | Something rattles in the can.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman takes away her finger. Your forehead is tingling.
Floyd |
Floyd | "The Stone of Dreams can help you in your search. I cannot reveal the
Floyd | place where I have hidden it, for the Evil One would see your thoughts
Floyd | and take the treasure for herself. You must discover it alone, and rely
Floyd | on legends to instruct you in its mysteries."
Floyd |
Floyd | As she speaks, the old woman gently leads you through the door of the
Floyd | Magick Shoppe. She pauses before closing the door.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Return the cat to me, and Wishbringer shall be yours.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Her name is Chaos."
Floyd |
Floyd | A concealed bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | Cliff Edge
Floyd | You're standing high on a rocky cliff, at the top of a steep trail
Floyd | leading downward.
Floyd |
Floyd | The surrounding landscape has disappeared under a thick blanket of
Floyd | evening fog. All the familiar buildings and landmarks are completely
Floyd | hidden; only the summit of Post Office Hill is high enough to pierce
Floyd | the cloud, rising like a lonely island in a sea of mist...
Floyd |
Floyd | ... an island with a tower on it.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's a TOWER where the Post Office used to be! The massive outline
Floyd | is hard to make out against the twilight sky. But the longer you stare,
Floyd | the clearer and more frightening it becomes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Magick Shoppe stands nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "d" | ||
Floyd | As you descend the trail you are immediately engulfed in...
Floyd |

Floyd | A sudden gust of wind dissolves the fog and clears your vision.
Floyd |
Floyd | Cliff Bottom
Floyd | You're at the bottom of a cliff that rises up from the north bank of
Floyd | the river.
Floyd |
Floyd | A gnarled tree trunk stands nearby, a lone branch its only adornment. A
Floyd | vulture perched on top is watching every move you make.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open can" | ||
Floyd | Yow! When you open the can a real, live rattlesnake leaps out! It
Floyd | squirms about angrily for a few moments, turns to hiss at you and
Floyd | slithers out of sight.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine can" | ||
Floyd | It's a round metal can with an open lid, illustrated with a
Floyd | tasty-looking assortment of mixed nuts.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd | The vulture spreads its wings and soars away over your head.
Floyd |
Floyd | North of Bridge
Floyd | This is the north side of the Witchville Bridge. Sheer cliff walls rise
Floyd | abruptly to the north and west. A path wanders east along the shore of
Floyd | the river.
Floyd |
Floyd | A rickety toll gate has been thrown up across the entrance to the
Floyd | covered bridge. A handpainted sign is nailed to the middle of the

Floyd |
Floyd | Standing near the toll gate is an ugly, gnomelike creature. A less

Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "give coin to troll" | ||
Floyd | The troll snatches away your gold coin with a grunt and squints at it
Floyd | suspiciously. "Ugh!" he cries, holding it up to the moonlight. "This is
Floyd | a fake!" He points accusingly at the familiar profile of one of
Floyd | Festeron's founding fathers, throws your coin to the ground and pulls
Floyd | out another. "This is what an OFFICIAL gold coin looks like!"
Floyd |
Floyd | The troll proudly exhibits his coin. It shows the profile of an
Floyd | evil-looking old woman.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

| Guenni says (to floyd), "ask troll for coin" | ||
Floyd | "No time for questions," growls the idle troll.

Floyd | and an umbrella.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "give shell to troll" | ||
Floyd | The troll studies the conch shell closely to see if it resembles a gold
Floyd | coin, and pitches it to the ground when he decides that it doesn't.
Floyd |
Floyd | The can rattles in your hand.

Floyd | It's already open.

Floyd | The metal can: Taken.
Floyd | The conch shell: Taken.
Floyd |

| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "search can" | ||
Floyd | The metal can appears to have a false bottom. You could probably get it
Floyd | out by squeezing the can.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "squeeze can" | ||
Floyd | The false bottom is wedged tightly into the metal can. You might be
Floyd | able to loosen it by squeezing harder... harder!...
Floyd |
Floyd | Pop! A small stone drops out of the squashed can and lands at your
Floyd | feet.

Floyd | The small stone glows with an eerie violet-white radiance.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "show stone to troll" | ||
Floyd | The troll studies the small stone closely to see if it resembles a gold

Floyd | You're on a hilltop overlooking the seaside village of Festeron.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands the Festeron Post Office. It's a little brick
Floyd | building with a neatly-trimmed lawn. The Post Office door stands
Floyd | invitingly open.
Floyd |

Floyd | Pleasure Wharf
Floyd | You're standing near the entrance to the Pleasure Wharf, the town's
Floyd | most popular tourist attraction. The Wharf extends eastward into
Floyd | Festeron Bay, and a tidal beach curves north along the shore.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands a ramshackle old building. Colorful lights, curious
Floyd | electronic sounds and a neon sign beckon you through the open entrance.

Floyd | Wharf's End
Floyd | The sea-worn planks of the Festeron Pleasure Wharf end abruptly a few
Floyd | feet to the east. You're surrounded by the blue, sparkling waters of
Floyd | Festeron Bay.
Floyd |
Floyd | Apparently a careless fisherman has just left the wharf, for lying on
Floyd | the planks is a little seahorse, its gills moving in and out with its
Floyd | dying gasps.
Floyd |
Floyd | The seahorse looks at you with moist, frightened eyes.

Floyd | Lighthouse
Floyd | This is where the river empties into Festeron Bay. A beach follows the

Floyd | riverbank.
Floyd |
Floyd | A miniature lighthouse, barely ten feet high, stands blinking on the

Floyd | River Outlet
Floyd | This is where the lake empties into the Festeron River. A road leads

Floyd | bank. A narrow trail leads upward to the top of Lookout Hill.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "u" | ||
Floyd | Lookout Hill
Floyd | You're standing at the summit of a high, barren hill. Looking east, you
Floyd | can see Festeron Village nestled among the trees. A narrow trail winds
Floyd | down the north side of the hill, towards the river.
Floyd |
Floyd | Crowning the hill is the stump of what must have been a very large and
Floyd | majestic oak tree.
Floyd |
Floyd | A horseshoe is lying in the grass near the stump.

Floyd | You're standing high on a rocky cliff, at the top of a steep trail
Floyd | leading downward. Looking southwest, you can see the shadow of Post
Floyd | Office Hill creeping across the village as the sun sinks into a bank of
Floyd | clouds.
Floyd |
Floyd | The peaceful scenery is disturbed by a tiny figure emerging from the
Floyd | distant Post Office. It stares in your direction for a few moments,
Floyd | checks its wrist and shakes a threatening little fist at you.
Floyd |
Floyd | A little old-fashioned store stands nearby. Its brightly painted
Floyd | shutters and thatched roof remind you of something out of a fairy tale.
Floyd | A curiously painted sign over the front door reads, "Ye Olde Magick
Floyd | Shoppe."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open door" | ||
Floyd | A concealed bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | Okay, the Magick Shoppe door is now open.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "in" | ||
Floyd | Magick Shoppe
Floyd | You're in the front showroom of the Magick Shoppe.
Floyd |
Floyd | Every inch of wall space is crowded with magic tricks, puzzles and
Floyd | mystical paraphernalia. A glass case offers a selection of obscene
Floyd | jokes and naughty birthday cards.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the corner stands an ancient grandfather clock, its dial ornamented
Floyd | with a grinning crescent moon and other celestial symbols.
Floyd |
Floyd | The front door of the Magick Shoppe is wide open. At the west end of
Floyd | the room, you can see another exit concealed by a curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sudden gust of wind slams the Magick Shoppe door closed. A concealed
Floyd | bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Just a moment!" cries a voice behind the curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine case" | ||
Floyd | The naughty glass case is closed and locked.
Floyd |
Floyd | The noisy tick of the grandfather clock is making you uneasy.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "search it" | ||
Floyd | You can see nothing special inside the grandfather clock.
Floyd |
Floyd | The curtain opens so quickly it makes you jump.
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman standing before you is older than your oldest aunt. Her thin,
Floyd | pale face and bony hands make her look fragile, like a fading signature
Floyd | in an antique book. But her eyes remember everything they have ever
Floyd | seen.
Floyd |
Floyd | You appraise one another for a long moment before she breaks the ice.
Floyd | "Welcome in, welcome!" she chortles. "Don't get many visitors this late
Floyd | in the day."
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman turns pale as she takes the mysterious envelope from you.
Floyd | "It's been a long, long time since I last saw this handwriting," she
Floyd | murmurs, turning it over in her hands. "Hoped I never would again."
Floyd |
Floyd | She starts to open the mysterious envelope, thinks better of it and
Floyd | hands it back to you. "Will you open it up and read it to me?" she
Floyd | pleads. "I'll never find my glasses in this mess."
Floyd |
Floyd | (You are again holding the mysterious envelope.)
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open it" | ||
Floyd | (You should now open the mysterious envelope in your Wishbringer
Floyd | package.)
Floyd |
Floyd | Opening the mysterious envelope reveals a letter.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Read the letter to me, please. I'm waiting."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "read letter" | ||
Floyd | (to the old woman)
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 1 point! Your total score is 21 out of
Floyd | 100.)
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman is motionless as you read. Glancing up, you see tears of
Floyd | anger forming; but she turns away as your eyes meet.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Kidnapped," she whispers after a long silence. She paces aimlessly
Floyd | around the room, deep in thought.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Many seek to gain the Stone of Dreams," she mutters, mostly to
Floyd | herself. "Yet few can imagine the price. For years I have fought to
Floyd | conceal it from the Evil One and others like her. My youth, my home and
Floyd | family, all were forfeited for its protection. And now," her voice
Floyd | breaking with emotion, "now it claims my only companion."
Floyd |
Floyd | Impulsively, the woman snatches away the letter and envelope and
Floyd | crumples them in her trembling hands. "No one is strong enough to guard
Floyd | Wishbringer alone."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "ask woman about bridge" | ||
Floyd | "Not now," sighs the old woman wistfully. "You're better off not
Floyd | knowing too much about it."
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman makes an effort to compose herself.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Thank you for coming all this way for me," she says, reaching up to a
Floyd | shelf full of cheap gags. "I know I'm not supposed to tip you, but take
Floyd | this little trinket anyway."
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman holds out a small metal can for you to take.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take can" | ||
Floyd | Taken.
Floyd |
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 3 points! Your total score is 24 out of

Floyd |
Floyd | "It's getting Dark outside," the old woman remarks, and you can almost
Floyd | hear the capital D. "Maybe you should be getting back to town."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open door" | ||
Floyd | That's odd. Despite your best efforts, the front door refuses to budge.
Floyd |
Floyd | "That door always sticks this time of year," notes the old woman drily.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman hobbles over to the Magick Shoppe door and opens it. A
Floyd | concealed bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Keep a sharp eye out for my cat, won't you?" She speaks the words
Floyd | slowly and distinctly. "Bring her to me if you find her. She's black as
Floyd | night from head to tail, except for one little white spot... right
Floyd | HERE."
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman touches the middle of your forehead with her finger. The
Floyd | light outside dims suddenly, like a cloud passing over the sun.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "out" | ||
Floyd | Your body seems unwilling to respond.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman takes away her finger. Your forehead is tingling.
Floyd |
Floyd | "The Stone of Dreams can help you in your search. I cannot reveal the
Floyd | place where I have hidden it, for the Evil One would see your thoughts
Floyd | and take the treasure for herself. You must discover it alone, and rely
Floyd | on legends to instruct you in its mysteries."
Floyd |
Floyd | As she speaks, the old woman gently leads you through the door of the
Floyd | Magick Shoppe. She pauses before closing the door.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Return the cat to me, and Wishbringer shall be yours.

Floyd | Cliff Edge
Floyd | You're standing high on a rocky cliff, at the top of a steep trail
Floyd | leading downward.
Floyd |
Floyd | The surrounding landscape has disappeared under a thick blanket of
Floyd | evening fog. All the familiar buildings and landmarks are completely
Floyd | hidden; only the summit of Post Office Hill is high enough to pierce
Floyd | the cloud, rising like a lonely island in a sea of mist...
Floyd |
Floyd | ... an island with a tower on it.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's a TOWER where the Post Office used to be! The massive outline
Floyd | is hard to make out against the twilight sky. But the longer you stare,
Floyd | the clearer and more frightening it becomes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Magick Shoppe stands nearby.

Floyd | Yow! When you open the can a real, live rattlesnake leaps out! It

Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands the Festeron Post Office. It's a little brick

Floyd | Pleasure Wharf
Floyd | You're standing near the entrance to the Pleasure Wharf, the town's
Floyd | most popular tourist attraction. The Wharf extends eastward into
Floyd | Festeron Bay, and a tidal beach curves north along the shore.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands a ramshackle old building. Colorful lights, curious

Floyd | Wharf's End
Floyd | The sea-worn planks of the Festeron Pleasure Wharf end abruptly a few
Floyd | feet to the east. You're surrounded by the blue, sparkling waters of
Floyd | Festeron Bay.
Floyd |
Floyd | Apparently a careless fisherman has just left the wharf, for lying on
Floyd | the planks is a little seahorse, its gills moving in and out with its
Floyd | dying gasps.
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd | Cliff Edge
Floyd | You're standing high on a rocky cliff, at the top of a steep trail
Floyd | leading downward. Looking southwest, you can see the shadow of Post
Floyd | Office Hill creeping across the village as the sun sinks into a bank of
Floyd | clouds.
Floyd |
Floyd | The peaceful scenery is disturbed by a tiny figure emerging from the
Floyd | distant Post Office. It stares in your direction for a few moments,
Floyd | checks its wrist and shakes a threatening little fist at you.
Floyd |
Floyd | A little old-fashioned store stands nearby. Its brightly painted
Floyd | shutters and thatched roof remind you of something out of a fairy tale.
Floyd | A curiously painted sign over the front door reads, "Ye Olde Magick
Floyd | Shoppe."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open door" | ||
Floyd | A concealed bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |

Floyd | Magick Shoppe
Floyd | You're in the front showroom of the Magick Shoppe.
Floyd |
Floyd | Every inch of wall space is crowded with magic tricks, puzzles and
Floyd | mystical paraphernalia. A glass case offers a selection of obscene
Floyd | jokes and naughty birthday cards.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the corner stands an ancient grandfather clock, its dial ornamented
Floyd | with a grinning crescent moon and other celestial symbols.
Floyd |
Floyd | The front door of the Magick Shoppe is wide open. At the west end of
Floyd | the room, you can see another exit concealed by a curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sudden gust of wind slams the Magick Shoppe door closed. A concealed
Floyd | bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Just a moment!" cries a voice behind the curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "examine clock" | ||
Floyd | The frowning grandfather clock says it's 3:57 pm.

Floyd | The noisy tick of the grandfather clock is making you uneasy.

| Guenni says (to floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd | Time passes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The curtain opens so quickly it makes you jump.
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman standing before you is older than your oldest aunt. Her thin,
Floyd | pale face and bony hands make her look fragile, like a fading signature
Floyd | in an antique book. But her eyes remember everything they have ever
Floyd | seen.
Floyd |
Floyd | You appraise one another for a long moment before she breaks the ice.
Floyd | "Welcome in, welcome!" she chortles. "Don't get many visitors this late
Floyd | in the day."
Floyd |
Floyd | The room seems oddly quiet all of a sudden.

Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman turns pale as she takes the mysterious envelope from you.
Floyd | "It's been a long, long time since I last saw this handwriting," she
Floyd | murmurs, turning it over in her hands. "Hoped I never would again."
Floyd |
Floyd | She starts to open the mysterious envelope, thinks better of it and
Floyd | hands it back to you. "Will you open it up and read it to me?" she
Floyd | pleads. "I'll never find my glasses in this mess."
Floyd |
Floyd | (You are again holding the mysterious envelope.)
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open envelope" | ||
Floyd | (You should now open the mysterious envelope in your Wishbringer
Floyd | package.)
Floyd |
Floyd | Opening the mysterious envelope reveals a letter.

Floyd | (to the old woman)
Floyd | (Your score just went up by 1 point! Your total score is 21 out of

Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman is motionless as you read. Glancing up, you see tears of
Floyd | anger forming; but she turns away as your eyes meet.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Kidnapped," she whispers after a long silence. She paces aimlessly
Floyd | around the room, deep in thought.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Many seek to gain the Stone of Dreams," she mutters, mostly to
Floyd | herself. "Yet few can imagine the price. For years I have fought to
Floyd | conceal it from the Evil One and others like her. My youth, my home and
Floyd | family, all were forfeited for its protection. And now," her voice
Floyd | breaking with emotion, "now it claims my only companion."
Floyd |
Floyd | Impulsively, the woman snatches away the letter and envelope and
Floyd | crumples them in her trembling hands. "No one is strong enough to guard
Floyd | Wishbringer alone."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "out" | ||
Floyd | The Magick Shoppe door is closed.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman makes an effort to compose herself.

Floyd | shelf full of cheap gags. "I know I'm not supposed to tip you, but take
Floyd | this little trinket anyway."

Floyd | hear the capital D. "Maybe you should be getting back to town."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open door" | ||
Floyd | That's odd. Despite your best efforts, the front door refuses to budge.
Floyd |
Floyd | "That door always sticks this time of year," notes the old woman drily.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman hobbles over to the Magick Shoppe door and opens it. A
Floyd | concealed bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Keep a sharp eye out for my cat, won't you?" She speaks the words
Floyd | slowly and distinctly. "Bring her to me if you find her. She's black as
Floyd | night from head to tail, except for one little white spot... right
Floyd | HERE."
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman touches the middle of your forehead with her finger. The
Floyd | light outside dims suddenly, like a cloud passing over the sun.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "out" | ||
Floyd | Your body seems unwilling to respond.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman takes away her finger. Your forehead is tingling.
Floyd |
Floyd | "The Stone of Dreams can help you in your search. I cannot reveal the
Floyd | place where I have hidden it, for the Evil One would see your thoughts
Floyd | and take the treasure for herself. You must discover it alone, and rely
Floyd | on legends to instruct you in its mysteries."
Floyd |
Floyd | As she speaks, the old woman gently leads you through the door of the
Floyd | Magick Shoppe. She pauses before closing the door.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Return the cat to me, and Wishbringer shall be yours.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Her name is Chaos."

Floyd | Cliff Edge

Floyd |
Floyd | The surrounding landscape has disappeared under a thick blanket of
Floyd | evening fog. All the familiar buildings and landmarks are completely
Floyd | hidden; only the summit of Post Office Hill is high enough to pierce
Floyd | the cloud, rising like a lonely island in a sea of mist...
Floyd |
Floyd | ... an island with a tower on it.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's a TOWER where the Post Office used to be! The massive outline

Floyd |

Floyd | It seems to be a junk-mail ad for a primitive computer game. The

Floyd | With a gentle pop, the little mailbox pulls itself out of the ground
Floyd | and cavorts about the grass like a happy rabbit!

Floyd | The front door is securely closed.

Floyd | and rubs lovingly against your sleeve.
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd | The night is filled with rhythmic thunder, and a platoon of gigantic
Floyd | leather army boots marches into view. It's the Boot Patrol!
Floyd |
Floyd | You're immediately surrounded, tied, gagged and dragged before an
Floyd | especially tall Boot. "What have we here?" he hisses. "Out after
Floyd | curfew? Tsk, tsk, tsk. I wonder what Sgt. MacGuffin will say about
Floyd | this."
Floyd |
Floyd | You're thrown into an especially smelly Boot and carried, kicking and
Floyd | screaming, to the lobby of the Police Station.
Floyd |
Floyd | Sgt. MacGuffin glares at you as the boots dump you on the floor.
Floyd | "What's this?" he demands impatiently.
Floyd |
Floyd | "A nightcrawler," hisses the Tall Boot, giving you a vicious little
Floyd | kick. "Outside after curfew. Shall I feed it to the sharks?"

Floyd | It's the strangest little mailbox you've ever seen.
Floyd |
Floyd | The little mailbox is engulfed in a sparkling aurora! Tremors of

Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "see leaflet" | ||
Floyd | You'd have to be holding the leaflet to do that.
Floyd |
Floyd | With a gentle pop, the little mailbox pulls itself out of the ground
Floyd | and cavorts about the grass like a happy rabbit!
Floyd |

| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "pet mailbox" | ||
Floyd | The little mailbox coos with pleasure at your touch.
Floyd |
Floyd | The little mailbox notices you and snaps its tiny lid with joy. It
Floyd | makes a silly "clump-clump, clump-clump" sound as it hops to your side
Floyd | and rubs lovingly against your sleeve.

Floyd | extends eastward into Witchville Bay.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands a ramshackle old building. Colorful lights, curious
Floyd | electronic sounds and a neon sign beckon you through the open entrance.
Floyd |
Floyd | A big mailbox is nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | A voice behind you growls, "I'm hungry!" You turn to face the sound,

Floyd | The big mailbox seems ordinary enough. Or does it?
Floyd |
Floyd | You watch with astonishment as the lid of the big mailbox slowly opens
Floyd | by itself, then snaps shut with a clang.
Floyd |
Floyd | The little mailbox "clump-clumps" to your side with a joyful snap.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take leaflet" | ||
Floyd | You're holding too many things already!
Floyd |
Floyd | The lid of the big mailbox opens again. "Feed me!"
Floyd |
Floyd | The two mailboxes freeze at the sight of one another.
Floyd |
Floyd | The little mailbox snarls and stands protectively by your side. The big
Floyd | mailbox emits a frightful growl and throws its lid wide open,
Floyd | displaying rows of sharp little teeth. A crowd of postal meters and
Floyd | stamp dispensers gathers as the metal warriors circle each other with
Floyd | tense, snapping lids.
Floyd |
Floyd | With a sudden rush, the little mailbox throws itself at the big mailbox
Floyd | and clamps onto its forefoot. The big mailbox roars with anger, bites
Floyd | the little mailbox viciously and tries in vain to shake it off. You
Floyd | stare in wonder as the fighting boxes swell to twice their normal size,
Floyd | then four times larger, eight times!
Floyd |
Floyd | The big mailbox frees itself with a savage twist and bends to finish
Floyd | its foe. The little mailbox dodges, grips the descending lid and holds
Floyd | on for dear life. Locked in mortal combat, the giant boxes roll over
Floyd | and over, shaking the earth with the thunder of battle.
Floyd |
Floyd | The scene disappears under a cloud of dust. You hear a terrible scream
Floyd | of agony, then an even more terrible silence. When the air clears, the
Floyd | boxes and spectators are gone.

Floyd |
Floyd | A sudden power drain makes all the other games in the arcade go dim.

Floyd | to face your enemy, and find yourself staring into the open maw of
Floyd | Thermofax.
Floyd |
Floyd | Only your Magick sword can save you now. You swing it high, speak the
Floyd | Word and stand unhurt as the blade absorbs the searing dragon-breath.
Floyd |
Floyd | The reptile bellows with rage and flaps its wings to fan the fire in
Floyd | its belly. You are advancing, sword poised to strike, when a familiar
Floyd | voice shatters the daydream and stays your mighty hand...

Floyd | Hilltop
Floyd | You're on a hilltop overlooking the seaside village of Festeron.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands the Festeron Post Office. It's a little brick
Floyd | building with a neatly-trimmed lawn. The Post Office door stands
Floyd | invitingly open.
Floyd |
Floyd | Roads run down the hill to the east and west. There's a signpost
Floyd | nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | Somebody inside the Post Office is calling you.

Floyd | Lake Edge
Floyd | You're on the sandy shore of the lake. A road heads east towards the
Floyd | village, and another runs north along the edge of the lake. Looking
Floyd | south, you can see an open iron gate leading into the Witchville
Floyd | Cemetery.
Floyd |
Floyd | Misty Island, its outline shrouded in fog, is visible far across the
Floyd | water.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a narrow pit near the edge of the lake.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's a squashed can here.

Floyd | A clear, sweet note stills the night with its beauty.
Floyd |
Floyd | The silver whistle's music echoes over the lake, rippling the water

Floyd | Misty Island
Floyd | You're standing on a fog-shrouded beach. Sheer cliff walls rise to the
Floyd | north and south, and the dark waters of the lake stretch eastward.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the west stands a magnificent castle, its parapets rising high into
Floyd | the mist. Golden light streams invitingly through the open entrance.

Floyd | Throne Room
Floyd | You're standing in a long, high-ceilinged chamber. Hundreds of
Floyd | platypuses are milling about with teacups in their paws, their faces
Floyd | illuminated by a roaring fireplace.
Floyd |
Floyd | At the far end of the chamber stands a mighty throne. It's occupied by
Floyd | a snow-white platypus with a gold crown on its head and a jeweled
Floyd | scepter in its paw. On the floor near the throne is another crowned
Floyd | platypus... the same one you rescued from the pit.
Floyd |
Floyd | The crowd falls silent as you enter.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Welcome, brave Adventurer," says the white platypus, rising from its
Floyd | throne to greet you. "I am Anatinus, King of Misty Island. My court
Floyd | thanks you most humbly for rescuing the life of my daughter, Princess
Floyd | Tasmania. Great would our sorrow have been if not for your cunning."
Floyd |
Floyd | The crowd applauds politely, and Princess Tasmania blushes.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "see throne" | ||
Floyd | You can see nothing unusual about it.
Floyd |
Floyd | "My messengers have told me of your quest," continues King Anatinus.
Floyd | "Allow me to repay your kindness with words of advice."
Floyd |
Floyd | The old platypus motions you to his side. "The Tower of the Evil One is
Floyd | formidable," he begins in a low, serious voice. "You will never get
Floyd | inside unaided. Legends speak of a Magick Word that can open the gates
Floyd | of the Tower. But what Word it is, none can say."
Floyd |
Floyd | The king reaches beneath his throne and takes out a small wizard's hat.
Floyd | "Take this," he says, holding it out to you.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take hat" | ||
Floyd | You're holding too many things already!
Floyd |
Floyd | "I offer you this Hat," says King Anatinus, holding it out to you.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "wear hat" | ||
Floyd | But the wizard's hat is much too small!
Floyd |
Floyd | "This Hat is for you. Take it," says King Anatinus, holding it out to
Floyd | you.
Floyd |

Floyd | (Your score just went up by 1 point! Your total score is 50 out of

Floyd |
Floyd | "Take it to the sea," King Anatinus whispers as you turn the hat in
Floyd | your hands. "There you will find a creature learned in the lore of
Floyd | Magick. Heed him well! In his wisdom lies your only hope."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "see hat" | ||
Floyd | The wizard's hat is decorated with foil stars and cheap glitter.
Floyd |
Floyd | A fanfare of trumpets breaks the silence, and the crowd falls to its
Floyd | knees.
Floyd |
Floyd | The silver whistle magically reappears in your hand.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Good luck to you, brave Adventurer!" cries King Anatinus, bowing
Floyd | deeply. "Now blow into the silver whistle one more time, and deliver us
Floyd | from the horror of the Evil One."
Floyd |
Floyd | The platypuses look at you expectantly.

Floyd |
Floyd | All at once the lighthouse blazes to life! Its shining beacon whirls
Floyd | like a gyroscope, and a pencil-thin beam of light pierces the sky and
Floyd | traces a word on a passing cloud: FRATTO.

Floyd |
Floyd | Cliff Edge
Floyd | You're standing high on a rocky cliff, at the top of a steep trail
Floyd | leading downward. Looking southwest, you can see the shadow of Post
Floyd | Office Hill creeping across the village as the sun sinks into a bank of
Floyd | clouds.
Floyd |
Floyd | The peaceful scenery is disturbed by a tiny figure emerging from the
Floyd | distant Post Office. It stares in your direction for a few moments,
Floyd | checks its wrist and shakes a threatening little fist at you.
Floyd |
Floyd | A little old-fashioned store stands nearby. Its brightly painted
Floyd | shutters and thatched roof remind you of something out of a fairy tale.
Floyd | A curiously painted sign over the front door reads, "Ye Olde Magick
Floyd | Shoppe."
Floyd |

Floyd | Magick Shoppe
Floyd | You're in the front showroom of the Magick Shoppe.
Floyd |
Floyd | Every inch of wall space is crowded with magic tricks, puzzles and
Floyd | mystical paraphernalia. A glass case offers a selection of obscene
Floyd | jokes and naughty birthday cards.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the corner stands an ancient grandfather clock, its dial ornamented
Floyd | with a sneering crescent moon and other celestial symbols.
Floyd |
Floyd | The front door of the Magick Shoppe is wide open. At the west end of
Floyd | the room, you can see another exit concealed by a curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sudden gust of wind slams the Magick Shoppe door closed. A concealed
Floyd | bell tinkles merrily.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Just a moment!" cries a voice behind the curtain.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "see clock." | ||
Floyd | The smiling grandfather clock says it's 3:52 pm.

Floyd | You can see nothing interesting inside the grandfather clock.
Floyd |
Floyd | The curtain opens so quickly it makes you jump.
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman standing before you is older than your oldest aunt. Her thin,
Floyd | pale face and bony hands make her look fragile, like a fading signature
Floyd | in an antique book. But her eyes remember everything they have ever
Floyd | seen.
Floyd |
Floyd | You appraise one another for a long moment before she breaks the ice.
Floyd | "Welcome in, welcome!" she chortles. "Don't get many visitors this late
Floyd | in the day."

Floyd | "It's been a long, long time since I last saw this handwriting," she
Floyd | murmurs, turning it over in her hands. "Hoped I never would again."
Floyd |
Floyd | She starts to open the mysterious envelope, thinks better of it and
Floyd | hands it back to you. "Will you open it up and read it to me?" she
Floyd | pleads. "I'll never find my glasses in this mess."

Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman is motionless as you read. Glancing up, you see tears of
Floyd | anger forming; but she turns away as your eyes meet.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Kidnapped," she whispers after a long silence. She paces aimlessly
Floyd | around the room, deep in thought.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Many seek to gain the Stone of Dreams," she mutters, mostly to
Floyd | herself. "Yet few can imagine the price. For years I have fought to
Floyd | conceal it from the Evil One and others like her. My youth, my home and
Floyd | family, all were forfeited for its protection. And now," her voice
Floyd | breaking with emotion, "now it claims my only companion."
Floyd |
Floyd | Impulsively, the woman snatches away the letter and envelope and
Floyd | crumples them in her trembling hands. "No one is strong enough to guard
Floyd | Wishbringer alone."

Floyd |
Floyd | "That door always sticks this time of year," notes the old woman drily.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman makes an effort to compose herself.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Thank you for coming all this way for me," she says, reaching up to a
Floyd | shelf full of cheap gags. "I know I'm not supposed to tip you, but take
Floyd | this little trinket anyway."
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman holds out a small metal can for you to take.

Floyd | The Magick Shoppe door is closed.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman hobbles over to the Magick Shoppe door and opens it. A

Floyd |
Floyd | "Keep a sharp eye out for my cat, won't you?" She speaks the words
Floyd | slowly and distinctly. "Bring her to me if you find her. She's black as
Floyd | night from head to tail, except for one little white spot... right
Floyd | HERE."
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman touches the middle of your forehead with her finger. The
Floyd | light outside dims suddenly, like a cloud passing over the sun.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "out" | ||
Floyd | Your body seems unwilling to respond.
Floyd |
Floyd | The old woman takes away her finger. Your forehead is tingling.
Floyd |
Floyd | "The Stone of Dreams can help you in your search. I cannot reveal the
Floyd | place where I have hidden it, for the Evil One would see your thoughts
Floyd | and take the treasure for herself. You must discover it alone, and rely
Floyd | on legends to instruct you in its mysteries."
Floyd |
Floyd | As she speaks, the old woman gently leads you through the door of the
Floyd | Magick Shoppe. She pauses before closing the door.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Return the cat to me, and Wishbringer shall be yours.

Floyd | Cliff Edge

Floyd |
Floyd | The surrounding landscape has disappeared under a thick blanket of
Floyd | evening fog. All the familiar buildings and landmarks are completely
Floyd | hidden; only the summit of Post Office Hill is high enough to pierce
Floyd | the cloud, rising like a lonely island in a sea of mist...
Floyd |
Floyd | ... an island with a tower on it.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's a TOWER where the Post Office used to be! The massive outline

Floyd | A ladder rises to meet an open hatch in the middle of the ceiling.
Floyd |
Floyd | Mr. Crisp is fondling the instruments, one by one.

| Guenni exclaims, "niice!" | |
| Guenni says (to floyd), "give note to crisp" | ||
Floyd | Mr. Crisp takes the violet note and stares at it. His face turns pale.
Floyd | "Where did this come from?" he whispers, opening it.
Floyd |
Floyd | An unbearably sweet expression spreads over his face as he reads. The
Floyd | violet note falls from his hands.
Floyd |
Floyd | "I've got to run," Mr. Crisp cries, tossing his white lab coat into a
Floyd | corner and stuffing his shirttails into his pants. "Violet scolds me
Floyd | when I'm late!" He struggles into a hideous velvet blazer, pushes a
Floyd | comb through his hair and scampers up the ladder like a little boy.
Floyd |
Floyd | The hatch closes with a hollow thud.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take note" | ||
Floyd | You can't. Mr. Crisp dropped it out of your reach.

Floyd | Torture Chamber
Floyd | You're chained up in the corner of a dim, stuffy chamber, deep within
Floyd | the bowels of the tower. The walls gleam with obscure medical
Floyd | instruments, and a diabolical torture machine occupies most of the
Floyd | opposite corner.
Floyd |
Floyd | Princess Tasmania is clamped into the torture machine!
Floyd |
Floyd | A ladder rises to meet a closed hatch in the middle of the ceiling.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a violet note and a white lab coat here.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear the distant rattle of the drawbridge closing.
Floyd |
Floyd | Princess Tasmania strains against her clamps. "Release me from this
Floyd | torture machine, brave Adventurer! Only pull down this lever, and I
Floyd | shall be freed."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "pull down lever" | ||
Floyd | You can't reach the lever while you're chained up.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Please! Pull down this lever and set me free," cries Princess
Floyd | Tasmania.

| DavidW asks, "Is the lab ocat within reach?" | |
| DavidW asks, "er coat?" | ||

Floyd | The white lab coat isn't as clean as the one your doctor wears.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take it" | ||
Floyd | The chains cut painfully into your wrist as you strain to grasp the
Floyd | white lab coat. Your fingertips brush against the collar... There! You
Floyd | got it!
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "search it" | ||
Floyd | You can see a rusty key inside the white lab coat.
Floyd |
Floyd | "The merest pull of the lever will gain my freedom," cries Princess
Floyd | Tasmania.

Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "pull lever" | ||
Floyd | The clamps on the torture machine retract, and Princess Tasmania leaps
Floyd | off. She's free!
Floyd |
Floyd | "Again you spare my unworthy life, brave Adventurer." The platypus
Floyd | humbly licks your shoe, to your considerable embarrassment. "My father,
Floyd | King Anatinus, does not forget such kindness."
Floyd |
Floyd | The little creature produces a silver whistle from her gown and blows
Floyd | into it gently. A clear, sweet note stills the night with its beauty.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Your journey is not yet ended," she warns as a whirlpool of colored
Floyd | light envelops her. "But even if you fail, your deeds shall live
Floyd | forever in our legends. Have faith!"
Floyd |
Floyd | When the colors fade, Princess Tasmania is gone.

Floyd | Round Chamber
Floyd | You're in a round chamber at the very heart of the tower. The clammy
Floyd | stone walls are hung with a series of paintings, all the same size and
Floyd | identically framed. Years of neglect have blackened the art almost
Floyd | beyond recognition.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the corner is an open hatch. Peering downward, you see a ladder
Floyd | descending into gloom.
Floyd |
Floyd | A corridor disappears to the north, and a damp stairway winds upward
Floyd | into the tower.
Floyd |

| Guenni says (to floyd), "see paintings" | ||
Floyd | There are 13 paintings in the series. It seems to be a tragic sequence
Floyd | involving a beautiful princess and a wicked queen.
Floyd |

Floyd | Pleasure Wharf
Floyd | You're standing near the remains of the Pleasure Wharf. The Wharf
Floyd | extends eastward into Witchville Bay.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the south stands a ramshackle old building. Colorful lights, curious
Floyd | electronic sounds and a neon sign beckon you through the open entrance.
Floyd |
Floyd | A big mailbox is nearby.
Floyd |
Floyd | A voice behind you growls, "Hungry!" You turn to face the sound, but
Floyd | there's nobody here except you.

Floyd | The big mailbox seems ordinary enough. Or does it?

Floyd |
Floyd | The lid of the big mailbox opens again. "I'm hungry!"
Floyd |
Floyd | The two mailboxes freeze at the sight of one another.
Floyd |
Floyd | The little mailbox snarls and stands protectively by your side. The big
Floyd | mailbox emits a frightful growl and throws its lid wide open,
Floyd | displaying rows of sharp little teeth. A crowd of postal meters and
Floyd | stamp dispensers gathers as the metal warriors circle each other with
Floyd | tense, snapping lids.
Floyd |
Floyd | With a sudden rush, the little mailbox throws itself at the big mailbox
Floyd | and clamps onto its forefoot. The big mailbox roars with anger, bites
Floyd | the little mailbox viciously and tries in vain to shake it off. You
Floyd | stare in wonder as the fighting boxes swell to twice their normal size,
Floyd | then four times larger, eight times!
Floyd |
Floyd | The big mailbox frees itself with a savage twist and bends to finish
Floyd | its foe. The little mailbox dodges, grips the descending lid and holds
Floyd | on for dear life. Locked in mortal combat, the giant boxes roll over
Floyd | and over, shaking the earth with the thunder of battle.
Floyd |
Floyd | The scene disappears under a cloud of dust. You hear a terrible scream
Floyd | of agony, then an even more terrible silence. When the air clears, the

Floyd | Video Arcade
Floyd | This old building is the home of a sleazy arcade, lined with coin-op
Floyd | video games. The machines are crowded with half-crazed, stunted
Floyd | humanoids, who pay no attention to you as they satisfy their thirst for
Floyd | electric violence.
Floyd |
Floyd | One machine in the corner appears to be deserted.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sign on the wall says, "All Games One Token."

Floyd |
Floyd | A sudden power drain makes all the other games in the arcade go dim.

Floyd | You're on a hilltop overlooking the seaside village of Witchville.
Floyd |
Floyd | A tower stands in bleak silhouette against the moonlit sky. It rises a
Floyd | hundred feet above a barren plateau, and is encircled by a deep moat.
Floyd | The only entrances are a closed drawbridge and a dark window near the

Floyd |
Floyd | "Turn back, brave Adventurer!"
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd | "Behind you!" cries the Princess. "It's a trap!"

Floyd | Too late. The drawbridge crashes shut against the tower wall. You turn
Floyd | to face your enemy, and find yourself staring into the open maw of...
Floyd | Mr. Crisp!

Floyd | Torture Chamber
Floyd | You're chained up in the corner of a dim, stuffy chamber, deep within
Floyd | the bowels of the tower. The walls gleam with obscure medical
Floyd | instruments, and a diabolical torture machine occupies most of the
Floyd | opposite corner.
Floyd |
Floyd | Princess Tasmania is clamped into the torture machine!
Floyd |
Floyd | A ladder rises to meet an open hatch in the middle of the ceiling.
Floyd |
Floyd | Mr. Crisp is fondling the instruments, one by one.
Floyd |

Floyd | Mr. Crisp takes the violet note and stares at it. His face turns pale.
Floyd | "Where did this come from?" he whispers, opening it.
Floyd |
Floyd | An unbearably sweet expression spreads over his face as he reads. The
Floyd | violet note falls from his hands.
Floyd |
Floyd | "I've got to run," Mr. Crisp cries, tossing his white lab coat into a
Floyd | corner and stuffing his shirttails into his pants. "Violet scolds me
Floyd | when I'm late!" He struggles into a hideous velvet blazer, pushes a
Floyd | comb through his hair and scampers up the ladder like a little boy.
Floyd |
Floyd | The hatch closes with a hollow thud.

Floyd |

Floyd | gain my freedom."
Floyd |
Floyd | >

Floyd |
Floyd | "Only pull down this lever, and I shall be freed," cries Princess
Floyd | Tasmania.
Floyd |

| Guenni says (to floyd), "pull lever" | ||
Floyd | The clamps on the torture machine retract, and Princess Tasmania leaps
Floyd | off. She's free!
Floyd |
Floyd | "Again you spare my unworthy life, brave Adventurer." The platypus
Floyd | humbly licks your shoe, to your considerable embarrassment. "My father,
Floyd | King Anatinus, does not forget such kindness."
Floyd |
Floyd | The little creature produces a silver whistle from her gown and blows
Floyd | into it gently. A clear, sweet note stills the night with its beauty.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Your journey is not yet ended," she warns as a whirlpool of colored
Floyd | light envelops her. "But even if you fail, your deeds shall live
Floyd | forever in our legends. Have faith!"
Floyd |
Floyd | When the colors fade, Princess Tasmania is gone.

Floyd | Outside Cottage
Floyd | You're outside the cottage of Miss Voss, the former town librarian. The
Floyd | road turns north toward the village, and bends upward to the summit of
Floyd | Post Office Hill.
Floyd |
Floyd | As you approach the cottage you are greeted by the biggest hellhound
Floyd | you've ever seen in your entire life. It charges across the street,
Floyd | roaring angrily and showing its sharp, bloody fangs.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can smell the hellhound's hot breath as it roars.

Floyd |
Floyd | All at once a terrifying shadow sweeps across the face of the full
Floyd | moon, plunging the landscape into total darkness.
Floyd |
Floyd | The hellhound's eyes grow wide with terror. It flops itself down on the

Floyd | Floyd | The door of the Magick Shoppe creaks open, and the old woman, dressed Floyd | in a nightgown, stands blinking in the morning sun. "Who's there?" Floyd | Floyd | The black cat leaps into the woman's arms. "Chaos!" she cries, laughing Floyd | and sobbing all at once as the cat licks tears of joy from her face. Floyd | Floyd | At last the old woman lowers Chaos to the ground and walks over to Floyd | where you're standing, red with embarrassment. Floyd | Floyd | "Now you know me for the old liar I am," she chuckles, clasping your Floyd | hands gratefully in her own. "I promised to give you Wishbringer, Floyd | knowing full well that, if you succeeded, its virtue would be lost. Floyd | Floyd | "In truth, the Stone would make a poor reward," she continues, stooping Floyd | to tickle the cat's white forehead. "As you can see, it brings more joy Floyd | in the shape of a companion than in any other. This is Wishbringer's Floyd | finest Magick. A pity that my sister, the Evil One, did not know of Floyd | it." Floyd | Floyd | You can hear a familiar "clump-clump, clump-clump" sound behind you. Floyd | It's the little mailbox, hopping bravely up the steep trail! The woman Floyd | looks on with puzzled amusement as the faithful box hops to your side Floyd | and rubs lovingly against your sleeve. Floyd | Floyd | The old woman touches the violet note in your hand. "Make sure you give Floyd | this to Mr. Crisp when you see him," she says with a sly wink. "And Floyd | tell him I said hello." Floyd | Floyd | Cradling Chaos in her arms like a child, the old woman ambles back into Floyd | the Magick Shoppe. "Farewell!" she calls from the closing door, and the Floyd | sunlight makes her face look young. "Now you are a true Adventurer." Floyd | Floyd | A concealed bell tinkles merrily. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Congratulations! You've finished the story of Wishbringer! Floyd | Floyd | Your score is 100 points out of 100, in 306 moves. Floyd | Floyd | Do you want to restart the story, restore a saved position, or quit? Floyd | Floyd | (Type RESTART, RESTORE or QUIT.) > | DavidW says, "hooray!" | |
| Guenni says, "Wonders where to get mailbox food." | ||
| DavidW says, "The post office, obviously." | ||
| Guenni says, "Probabably." | ||
| DavidW says, "I bet they really love ad tacos. That's a newspaper stuffed with advertisements." | ||
| Guenni says, "Our post station is in our grocery store." | ||
| Guenni laughs at the idea of asking the folks there for the letters that have arrived to put into her pet mailbox. :D | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Thank you, Guenni." | ||
| Guenni says, "You're very welcome." | ||
