| DavidW asks, "what's bonaventure?" | ||

Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 0/1 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Somewhere in the deep, dark swamps of the Everglades, far beyond the Floyd | reach of civilized men in their London cut double-breasted suits and Floyd | their bowler hats, strides a man; TEX BONAVENTURE, professional Floyd | treasure hunter, semi-professional card sharp, and a rank amateur at Floyd | judging when to stride and when to row a boat. Floyd | Floyd | There are rumors as to what he's after. Some say diamonds. Some say Floyd | gold. Others, with a knowing twinkle in their eye, beckon the curious Floyd | close and whisper a single word - "youth". Floyd | Floyd | Struggling to slighly higher ground, what you really want at this Floyd | moment is a dry pair of socks, and to go back in time about three days Floyd | and smack yourself about the head for not buying a canoe when you Floyd | could. That is, until you part some vines, and there it stands before Floyd | you, what the natives call Cukovcatv Em Oheskatv Vhesaketv: Floyd | Floyd | The Temple of the Water of Life. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple Floyd | Trying to shake the mud from your boots, but only splattering it Floyd | around a little, you eventually give up and look around. Atop a small Floyd | hillock in the middle of the Everglades sits a foreboding stone Floyd | temple. Its entrance, a wide arch of stone, lies to the east, up the Floyd | hill. To the west lies the swamp from which you came. The swamp also Floyd | lies to the north. And the south. Probably to the east, as well, Floyd | behind the temple, but you can't see that from here. It's a safe bet, Floyd | though. 99% of the Everglades is swamp. And 1% is, apparently, Floyd | hidden temples. Floyd | Floyd | A huge green fierce snake bars the way to the temple. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to DW), "I'm really surprised you haven't played this." | |
| Jacqueline says, "I am in strong support of watching you." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "(I have played it. But iirc, it's good.)" | ||
| ParserGirl asks, "Where's a bird in a cage when you need one?" | ||
| DavidW says, "As long as its support. :)" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And puzzly." | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims, "DW! DW! DW! YaaaaaAAAYYY DW!" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "PG, have you played this?" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x snake" | ||
Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 0/2 Floyd | > Floyd | > X SNAKE Floyd | Floyd | Basking in the sun, the huge green fierce snake looks old, and MEAN. Floyd | And old. You've heard of snakes living a long time in captivity, but Floyd | how has this ancient snake survived so long in the wild? Perhaps it Floyd | has something to do with the Temple of the Water of Life... Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "I have not!" | |
| ParserGirl says, "the name is familiar" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x temple" | ||
Floyd ] Outside a Foreboding Stone Temple 0/3 Floyd | > Floyd | > X TEMPLE Floyd | Floyd | You admit, there were times in the last three days (particularly times Floyd | when you were being chased by alligators and mosquitoes) that you Floyd | started to believe that the Temple of the Water of Life was a Floyd | fairytale. Ponce de Leon sought it, and he died four hundred years Floyd | ago. But, here it is, just where the old maps had it. The stone Floyd | building is massive, but the roughly pyramidal structure is overhung Floyd | by the trees of the swamp. The stones themselves must each weigh a Floyd | ton apiece. Carved into the outside of the temple, surrounding the Floyd | entrance arch, are primitive idols. For a moment you wonder why the Floyd | whole thing doesn't sink into the swamp under its own weight, then Floyd | drive the thought from your mind. It's stood for thousands of years, Floyd | surely it will stand for the next two hours while you complete your Floyd | adventure. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

You have Floyd | to admit, you're beginning to feel your years a little bit. What you Floyd | would kindly describe as "grizzled", the less-kindly (such as some of Floyd | those ladies) would describe as... well, they would say "grizzled", Floyd | too but they wouldn't say it with respect. A bit of disdain and Floyd | clenched teeth, perhaps. Floyd | Floyd | Perpetually "one last score" away from retirement. But this might be Floyd | the last, for real. The rumor has it, treasure for the rest of your Floyd | life is in the top of the Temple... and that life can be very long Floyd | indeed. Very very long. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | You feel the red hot pain of the venom injected into your calf, and Floyd | the icy grip of death approaching as the poison starts traveling Floyd | through your body.

Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/28
Floyd | 6/12N)## The Entry Hall of the Temple
Floyd | The first thing you notice in the Temple is the sound of water,
Floyd | dripping and running and burbling. The sound seems to come from all
Floyd | around you, all directions. Combined with the relative coolness and
Floyd | darkness of the temple (cool and dark compared to the Everglade swamp
Floyd | outside), you feel like sleeping. But sleep, with your injuries,
Floyd | means death. Green, speckled light spills in from the exit arch of
Floyd | the Temple, which lies to the west. There are three passageways in
Floyd | the stone walls of the temple, set to the south, east and north. In
Floyd | the middle of the entry hall is a large statue, looming over anyone
Floyd | that may enter the temple.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| ParserGirl says, "Huh" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x statue" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/29 Floyd | > Floyd | > X STATUE Floyd | Floyd | Looking at the statue, it is absorbed as a gestalt. Aspects are not Floyd | seen in order, but all at once. It is only when you look away, you Floyd | can think logically about it. You remember a man made of pure white Floyd | alabaster at the center, arms flung outward, touching both north and Floyd | south walls with his hands. His head, you recall, was thrown back - Floyd | but whether in agony or ecstasy you can't tell. Around the man water, Floyd | frozen water, raised in a spout. That can't be right. Some stone, Floyd | translucent blue, the likes of which you've never seen in all your Floyd | years of treasure hunting. The statue is twenty feet tall, at the Floyd | minimum, and somehow occupies most of the room, yet is hard to look Floyd | directly at... perhaps you could look at pieces of it at a time, if Floyd | you're careful. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl asks, "Slightly lovecraftian turn?" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x head" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/30 Floyd | > Floyd | > X HEAD Floyd | Floyd | The statue's head is thrown back, and not easily visible from the Floyd | floor of the entrance hall. Which is odd, because in your opinion, Floyd | (and you have many opinions about strange, cultish temples, having Floyd | been in a few), the point of a statue is to convey the desired emotion Floyd | in the viewer. And that is difficult to do, if you can't see the Floyd | face. It makes you uneasy. Very uneasy, the more you look at it. Floyd | Which, you belatedly realize, may be the point. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Nah, modern man's just too weak. ;)" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x spout" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/31 Floyd | > Floyd | > X SPOUT Floyd | Floyd | The blue stone that makes up the statue's depiction of water is Floyd | mesmerizing. You've never seen anything like it. If only you could Floyd | cut just a few slabs of it - a few hundred carats of it, enough to Floyd | bring to a jeweler - that would be enough to finance the rest of your Floyd | life, you're sure. Hah. Of course, if you can't find the Water of Floyd | Life, the rest of your life won't be very long, or hard to finance, Floyd | you're sure. The more you stare at the blue sparkling stone, though, Floyd | the more you want to stare at it. There's only one flaw, one tiny Floyd | hole in the stone, at the very base. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x hole" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/32 Floyd | > Floyd | > X HOLE Floyd | Floyd | There seems to be a small hole at the base of the statue - about the Floyd | size of your arm, it extends deep into the mesmerizing blue stone - Floyd | you can't see the bottom of it, but there appears to be something Floyd | stuck in it. Perhaps you should reach in and get it out. Nothing bad Floyd | will happen. The more you look at the stone, the deeper you peer into Floyd | the hole, the more you just want to put your arm into it. Perhaps Floyd | now. Certainly now. "Let's PUT MY ARM INTO THE HOLE!" cries a voice Floyd | in your head. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "Yikes" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put my arm into the hole" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/32 Floyd | > Floyd | > PUT MY ARM INTO THE HOLE Floyd | Floyd | You reach into the hole, obeying your mental compulsion. Almost Floyd | immediately, a band of metal blades constricts around your arm, Floyd | severing it from your shoulder. You are able to stagger two steps Floyd | away before you collapse to the ground in shock, and bleed out. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** YOUR CHARM IS LIKE THOSE BLADES - DISARMING *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | In that game you scored 5 out of a possible 142, in 32 turns. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last Floyd | command? Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "undo" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/32 Floyd | Floyd | > UNDO Floyd | Floyd | An unearthly blue glow surrounds you, and you feel time slipping Floyd | away... Floyd | [Previous turn undone.] Floyd | Floyd | The Entry Hall of the Temple Floyd | Green, speckled light spills in from the exit arch of the Temple, Floyd | which lies to the west. There are three passageways in the stone Floyd | walls of the temple, set to the south, east and north. In the middle Floyd | of the entry hall is a large statue, looming over anyone that may Floyd | enter the temple. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "I guess there are also the arms" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x arms" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/33 Floyd | > Floyd | > X ARMS Floyd | Floyd | The statue's arms touch the north and south walls of the entrance Floyd | hall, and seem poised to either crash together and crush whatever is Floyd | in their path, or perhaps they are pushing against the walls, keeping Floyd | them upright. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "climb statue" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/34 Floyd | > Floyd | > CLIMB STATUE Floyd | Floyd | There's no real good way to get a grip on the statue. Although, in Floyd | your attempts, you do notice a small hole in the base of the statue. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x face" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/35 Floyd | > Floyd | > X FACE Floyd | Floyd | The statue's head is thrown back, and not easily visible from the Floyd | floor of the entrance hall. Which is odd, because in your opinion, Floyd | (and you have many opinions about strange, cultish temples, having Floyd | been in a few), the point of a statue is to convey the desired emotion Floyd | in the viewer. And that is difficult to do, if you can't see the Floyd | face. It makes you uneasy. Very uneasy, the more you look at it. Floyd | Which, you belatedly realize, may be the point. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "north wall" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/35 Floyd | > Floyd | > NORTH WALL Floyd | Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to north. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x north wall" | ||
Floyd ] The Entry Hall of the Temple 5/36 Floyd | > Floyd | > X NORTH WALL Floyd | Floyd | The north and south walls are touched by the statue's great arms, Floyd | palms flat against the stone. It doesn't appear as if they are in Floyd | danger of crumbling any time soon - in fact, the masonry seems just as Floyd | fitted and fresh as when it must have been installed. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "so, which way? North, south, or east?" | |
| DavidW says, "I'm guessing east is most likely to lead to where we want to go, and that north and south are either traps or necessary places to visit before going east." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "touch face" | ||

And that Floyd | would be bad. Very bad. Because (and here you risk a quick glance Floyd | down) the pit you are skirting appears to be bottomless. And not one Floyd | of those "bottomless" pits where it's all build-up and hyperbole, and Floyd | the bottom is QUITE visible a mere half-mile down, thank you very Floyd | much. No, this is a PROPER bottomless pit. You fancy you can hear Floyd | something, very faint, very soft, in the wind whistling out of the Floyd | pit.

A path of marked handholds Floyd | leads down into the pit, and nothing leads up - you're at the top. Floyd | You're on a small thrust of wood that extends out over the pit. There Floyd | are two exits, a metal door to the south and a dark, grimy arch to the Floyd | southeast. Both doors are currently blocked, however, by the extended Floyd | wings of a hideous gargoyle.
