| Jacqueline asks, "How many have already played The Wand?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Anyone?" | ||
| DavidW says, "Not me." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Not me." | ||
| Knight_Otu arrives, ready to play with the toys. | Teaspoon says, "I havne't." | |
| Guenni says, "me neither." | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims, "That's the nice bit about there being so many freakin' games this year!" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask wand" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | You have heard the rumors of a strange challenge at the wizard Floyd | Bartholloco's secluded castle. There's supposed to be a valuable prize Floyd | at the end. You decided it would be worth a trip to see what you can Floyd | do. Floyd | Floyd | The thing is, I'm not sure whether you have been there before. Maybe Floyd | you have.... Floyd | Floyd | (Please press SPACE to continue.) | ||
| Jacqueline pushes the green 'space' button. | ||

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Outside Castle Floyd | You are just outside a small but picturesque castle, on a bluff Floyd | overlooking the Glittering River. A tall archway leads north into the Floyd | castle. The road winds down to the south. Floyd | Floyd | (This game has limited commands. Type HELP for info.) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x castle" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > X CASTLE Floyd | Floyd | The castle is built with large dark-gray stone blocks. It looks Floyd | hundreds of years old.

Floyd | - You can LOOK (L) to see a description of your location, or WAIT (Z) Floyd | to pass a turn without doing anything. Floyd | - You can EXAMINE things nearby. (Abbreviation X.) Floyd | - You can USE most objects. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon asks, "south?" | |
| Knight_Otu asks, "Isn't that away from the challenge?" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "that's why we do it first to get it out of the way" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And then be told we couldn't possibly want to go that way. Sure." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | After coming all this way, you're not about to leave. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Called it." | |

| Guenni says (to floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Entry Chamber Floyd | This tall wood-paneled room is mostly empty. In the very center of the Floyd | room stands a display case, and next to that a stone statue. A wooden Floyd | door to the north is closed, and a tall archway leads south. Floyd | Floyd | (Note: This game is unlosable. Don't be afraid to try things!) Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "So we don't know who we are or why we're at this castle?" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x case" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > X CASE Floyd | Floyd | It's an open wooden case lined with velvet. A strange symbol is Floyd | engraved on the front of the case: it looks like a circular chain of Floyd | ten links. Floyd | Floyd | The case contains a magic wand. Floyd | Floyd | > | Guenni says, "Looks thet way." | |
| Teaspoon says, "I guess not" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Well supposedly we want to win a prize..." | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "open case." | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > OPEN CASE. Floyd | Floyd | That's not a command I recognize. (Type HELP for command info.) Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "oh, I bet we need to solve 10 puzzles, and one link will vanish per puzzle." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Sounds likely." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "take wand" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE WAND Floyd | Floyd | You take the wand from the display case. A moment later, you are Floyd | startled by a loud rattling. You turn in time to see a steel Floyd | portcullis slam down inside the archway! Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I'm totally guessing, of course." | |
| Jacqueline says, "Damn. I hate when we settle in to play a game and I'm struck by an idea that I want to explore in crafting a new piece of IF. Terrible timing." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "we could undo that." | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "x statue" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > X STATUE Floyd | Floyd | It's a granite statue of a robed wizard. He looks about five feet Floyd | tall, not counting his pointy hat. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "No, let's not undo." | |

| Guenni says (to floyd), "z" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > Z Floyd | Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The statue continues, "My name is Bartholloco, of course. Welcome to Floyd | my little challenge."

| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > Z Floyd | Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The statue continues, "If you look closely, you'll see that the wand's Floyd | shaft has three colored sections. When you came in, the colors were Floyd | red-green-blue." Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "Is it cursed? Is it a cursed wand?" | |
| Teaspoon says, "a cutscene" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > Z Floyd | Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The statue continues, "When the wand is red-green-blue, it can animate Floyd | a depiction of a human, as you are witnessing right now!" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > Z Floyd | Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The statue continues, "If you rotate the sections, they will change Floyd | color! Each section has ten possible colors." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "z" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > Z Floyd | Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The statue continues, "Some color combinations will give the wand Floyd | other interesting and useful powers. Most combinations won't do Floyd | anything." Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "..." | |
| DavidW says, "I bet ROTATE isn't a valid command." | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "x shaft" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > X SHAFT Floyd | Floyd | The wand is about a foot long with a carved wooden handle, a colored Floyd | shaft (set to red-green-blue), and a crystal star on the end. Floyd | Floyd | The statue continues, "For example, red-white-brown is a very useful Floyd | setting. It can open things that are closed." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x star" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > X STAR Floyd | Floyd | It's a traditional five-pointed crystal star. Floyd | Floyd | The statue continues, "You'll need that power, because you MUST NOT Floyd | TOUCH anything in the castle. Maybe you discovered that already. Floyd | Everything is strongly warded against vandals and thieves. (I do Floyd | apologize for the implication.)" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "set colors" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > SET COLORS Floyd | Floyd | I didn't understand that SET command. (Type WAND for help.) Floyd | Floyd | The statue continues, "If you can beat this challenge, there's a prize Floyd | for you!" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| Guenni says (to floyd), "wand" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > WAND Floyd | Floyd | You can SET a sequence of three colors on the wand like this: SET RED Floyd | GREEN BLUE. Floyd | Floyd | To save typing, you can abbreviate using one letter for each color Floyd | like this: SET RGB. To make it even shorter, you can just type the Floyd | three letters: RGB. Floyd | Floyd | There are ten colors. In reverse alphabetical order they are yellow Floyd | (Y), white (W), red (R), purple (P), orange (O), green (G), gray (A), Floyd | brown (N), blue (B), and black (K). (Note that gray, brown, and black Floyd | do not go by their first letter.) Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "I have lost interst in this prize already." | |
| DavidW asks, "wait, how did you know that WAND was a verb?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Tsp), "heh" | ||
| Guenni points slightly upwards. | ||
| Teaspoon says, "good guess." | ||
| Jacqueline | I didn't understand that SET command. (Type WAND for help.) | ||
| Guenni says, "It said to type wand for help." | ||
| DavidW says, "I do have difficulties following sometimes." | ||
| DavidW says, "I play much slower normally." | ||
| Guenni says, "Not a problem." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "sorry" | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "rwb" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > RWB Floyd | Floyd | You set the wand to red-white-blue. Floyd | Floyd | The statue continues, "Good luck! And remember that other setting: Floyd | red-white-brown." Floyd | Floyd | With that, the statue stops moving. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "RNW, I think" | |
| Guenni says (to floyd), "rwn" | ||

| Guenni says (to floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Reception Room Floyd | This cheery room must have been used for the reception of guests. It Floyd | is furnished with a sofa, several chairs, an end table, and a tall Floyd | cabinet. A framed portrait hangs on one wall. To the north is a barred Floyd | door. You can also go south. Floyd | Floyd | (Since you aren't supposed to touch anything, I'm going to turn off Floyd | the USE command. I don't want you to get hurt.) Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "oh joy. Less valid commands." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Gee, thanks, game." | ||
| DavidW says, "I hate limited command games." | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "x sofa" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > X SOFA Floyd | Floyd | The sofa is fashionably upholstered. There are several small pillows Floyd | on it: all are light pink except for one, which is brown velvet with Floyd | the number 2 stitched on it. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "I assume we need this." | |
| DavidW says, "oh, we're being taught a new sequence." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Color hint for the wand." | ||
| DavidW says, "find the colors of 1 and 3 now." | ||

Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > X CABINET Floyd | Floyd | The tall oak cabinet contains several decorative dishes. One is Floyd | painted with a landscape. Another is made of silver. A third is solid Floyd | purple with the number 3 on it. Floyd | Floyd | Next to the cabinet, you notice a hole in the wall like a large Floyd | mousehole. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x hole" | ||

| Knight_Otu says, "Not to my knowledge." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Not sure what's up there." | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "is it floyd?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "No, Floyd generally can handle multiple actions in a single line." | ||
| DavidW says, "hm. Just remembered that we never heard the 1st half of the lady's speech. I suppose we didn't need it." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, since the timing never worked out." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I suspect it's a red herring." | ||
| DavidW says, "We did nothing with the hole in the Reception Room either." | ||
| Guenni says, "We also didn't get tob open the dungeon door, or figured out what was in/behind the hole." | ||
| Guenni says, "to" | ||
| DavidW says, "Possibly the dungeon door never opens? It does have HA on it." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Right. I was idly wondering if we could close the library door." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Except we have no closing spell." | ||
| DavidW says, "There was no known 'close' spell." | ||
| Guenni asks, "What stands "HA" for?" | ||
| DavidW says, "It means laughter." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I suspect a laugh." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "restart" | ||
Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | You have heard the rumors of a strange challenge at the wizard Floyd | Bartholloco's secluded castle. There's supposed to be a valuable prize Floyd | at the end. You decided it would be worth a trip to see what you can Floyd | do. Floyd | Floyd | The thing is, I'm not sure whether you have been there before. Maybe Floyd | you have....

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Outside Castle Floyd | You are just outside a small but picturesque castle, on a bluff Floyd | overlooking the Glittering River. A tall archway leads north into the Floyd | castle. The road winds down to the south. Floyd | Floyd | (This game has limited commands. Type HELP for info.) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Entry Chamber Floyd | This tall wood-paneled room is mostly empty. In the very center of the Floyd | room stands a display case, and next to that a stone statue. A wooden Floyd | door to the north is closed, and a tall archway leads south. Floyd | Floyd | (Note: This game is unlosable. Don't be afraid to try things!) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "get wand" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > GET WAND Floyd | Floyd | You take the wand from the display case. A moment later, you are Floyd | startled by a loud rattling. You turn in time to see a steel Floyd | portcullis slam down inside the archway! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "kpk" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > KPK Floyd | Floyd | You set the wand to black-purple-black. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > P PORTCULLIS Floyd | Floyd | The steel portcullis disintegrates into a fine mist that quickly Floyd | drifts away. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd ] Floyd | > Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | You leave the castle and head home with your prize, excited about your Floyd | prospects. You should be able to achieve a lot with this wand. Floyd | Floyd | The next day, you wake to find that the wand has disappeared! In its Floyd | place is a small box with a note attached: "I hope you didn't think I Floyd | would let you keep my wand! You escaped in five turns (astonishing), Floyd | so here is your prize." Floyd | Floyd | You open the box and find several large diamonds inside! That Floyd | certainly justifies the trip! Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** You have won a prize! *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART the game, or QUIT? Floyd | > | DavidW says, "huh. There IS a better prize for quicker games." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, I thought I'd try that." | ||
| DavidW says, "Nice." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "It is kind of cheating to do it this way, of course." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I somewhat expected to be admonished." | ||
| DavidW says, "It seems the author anticipated it. And rewarded you for it." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I guess that makes the "whether you have been there before" bit make sense." | ||
| DavidW says, "There might be secret wand combos too that just do silly and unhelpful things." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "There's thousand combos though. I'd rather not slog through all of them." | ||
| DavidW says, "Like make a human semblance tell a knock-knock joke or turn a stone purple." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Either way, it's time for me to log off." | ||
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "Good night!" | ||
| DavidW says, "okay. g'night!" | ||
