The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each
week at a pre-arranged time, a group of
people meet online to cooperatively play
a game of interactive fiction.
ANOTHER WARNING! A lot (most!) of the transcripts contained on this site are, shall we say, family-friendly. This one is pretty friendly, but involves a murder. Just so we're clear. |

Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | On your eightieth birthday, you find yourself alone in a quiet Floyd | sanatorium, in a room that you know will, at the last, be your death Floyd | chamber. Floyd | Floyd | Sherlock Indomitable Floyd | A glimpse into Sherlock's mind by Brian Rushton Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 180324 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Sanatorium (on the sickbed) Floyd | Your room opens by a long, low, latticed window on to the dainty green Floyd | of spring in the valley below. It has a heavy oak door that is now Floyd | open. Floyd | Floyd | When the evening is drawing in, a messenger informs you that you have Floyd | a visitor. Quick on his heels comes the visitor himself. Your old Floyd | companion John Watson has come to see you on your birthday. The Floyd | messenger leaves, but Watson still remains a fair distance away. Floyd | Floyd | [When Holmes is not actively interested in discussing clues, as is Floyd | currently the case, he can TALK TO individuals to speak with them.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I would ask that someone else drive, as I just got an urgent request from Flourish to translate something into Regency Period French. heh. Back in a few." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x watson" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > X WATSON Floyd | Floyd | Watson is still in the shadows, waiting to be invited in. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You review yourself; you are over six feet in height, and excessively Floyd | lean. Your eyes are sharp and deep-set, your nose is thin and Floyd | hawk-like. Your hands are blotted with ink and stained with chemicals. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Examine ourselves and then talk to Watson." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "talk to watson" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO WATSON Floyd | Floyd | "Watson, my old friend, what brings you here?" Floyd | Floyd | He steps slowly into the light. You immediately notice two things: Floyd | first, that he has a new walking stick with an unusual engraving. And, Floyd | second, that there is something peculiar about his face. Floyd | Floyd | [Sherlock is now interested in making deductions about Watson. After Floyd | examining him closely, you can talk to him about various clues.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Dylan arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x face" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > X FACE Floyd | Floyd | It is clear that Watson is in the throes of some disease. Floyd | Floyd | [New conjecture - Sick] Floyd | Floyd | [You can find a running list of Sherlock's thoughts by typing Floyd | THOUGHTS, or just T.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x stick" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > X STICK Floyd | Floyd | It is clearly a gift from Charing Cross Hospital, most likely on Floyd | occasion of his retirement, which must have taken place recently, Floyd | given that you hadn't heard of it yet. It is a fine stick; his service Floyd | must be very respected. Floyd | Floyd | [New thought - Medical] Floyd | Floyd | [When Sherlock has two thoughts that are closely connected to each Floyd | other, he can connect them to make a deduction. In this instance, you Floyd | can LINK SICK TO MEDICAL.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x engraving" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > X ENGRAVING Floyd | Floyd | [I didn't understand the object in that command, but I understood the Floyd | first part.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "link sick to medical" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > LINK SICK TO MEDICAL Floyd | Floyd | (Sick to Medical) Floyd | John is suffering from an advanced disease, but he has extensive Floyd | medical knowledge. Thus, the disease is one which cannot be cured; Floyd | combined with his visit here today, you must conclude that Watson is Floyd | dying. Floyd | Floyd | [Finished with thought - Medical] Floyd | Floyd | [Finished with thought - Sick] Floyd | Floyd | [New thought - Incurable] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "talk to watson" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > TALK TO WATSON Floyd | Floyd | [Sherlock is now interested in making deductions about Watson. You can Floyd | SAY one of your thoughts to Watson instead.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "say incurable" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > SAY INCURABLE Floyd | Floyd | (to Watson) Floyd | "Watson, you are dying." Floyd | Floyd | "Yes, Holmes, and it's not hard to see how you knew. I suspect that I Floyd | have a large cancerous mass blocking my ductus communis choledochus." Floyd | Floyd | "Then we find ourselves in similar situations," you say. Floyd | Floyd | "A pair of pathetic, futile, broken creatures." Floyd | Floyd | "Exactly, Watson. Pathetic and futile. But is not all life pathetic Floyd | and futile? Is not our story a microcosm of the whole? We reach. We Floyd | grasp. And what is left in our hands at the end? A shadow. Or worse Floyd | than a shadow--misery." Floyd | Floyd | You are silent together. Then Watson retrieves a package wrapped in Floyd | brown paper that was stowed in his overcoat and places it near you. Floyd | Floyd | He says, "This is for you, Holmes. I must go, but you may find it of Floyd | interest." Floyd | Floyd | He turns and leaves, leaving the package behind. Floyd | Floyd | > | Plover says, "I was recapping this channel last week, there was something about inviting mathbrush." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, not sure if that went through." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Karona should know." | ||
| Roger asks, "canonically in what year would Sherlock be 80? around 1930?" | ||
| DavidW says, "This is also the last day for first tier of voting in the 2017 XYZZY Awards." | ||
| Plover says, "I fingered mathbrush and he's in Dorm B." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "He's not online, though." | ||
| DavidW says, ">examine package" | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x package" | ||
Floyd ] Sanatorium Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > X PACKAGE Floyd | Floyd | Watson has a brown paper package tied up in string for you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "open it" | ||
Floyd ] Conscious Mind Sherlock Holmes Floyd | > Floyd | > OPEN IT Floyd | Floyd | You untie the string and unwrap Watson's latest delivery. Cracking Floyd | open the book, you read the inscription: Floyd | Floyd | "To Sherlock, on his 80th birthday." Floyd | Floyd | He's finally done it, assembling the best of your cases together into Floyd | one volume. But once you start reading, you are swept into your own Floyd | reverie... Floyd | Floyd | Conscious Mind Floyd | Time stands still in here. You are in a wide, elevated room filled Floyd | with sunlight. You can go north to the Lesser Sciences, Floyd | south to the Physical Sciences, or east to the Human Floyd | Sciences. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | A large display case is in the middle of the room, titled "Thoughts". Floyd | Floyd | All of your old mental paraphernalia for solving cases are here. Floyd | Useless now, of course. But there are two new additions here: Floyd | Floyd | --A pile of plaster dust lies on the floor; a memory of the case of Floyd | The Six Napoleons. You can TAKE it to remember. Floyd | Floyd | --A worn lash lies on the floor; a memory of the Speckled Band. You Floyd | can TAKE it to remember. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | When you had cases, you would look up various topics here, in the Floyd | halls of your mind. But that was years ago. Floyd | Floyd | Also, there are stairs leading down to the basement. Floyd | Floyd | There is a reminder placard here, in the only room with enough space.

The opposite Floyd | side, labelled GEOLOGY, has a smaller number of books, but they are Floyd | all well-worn. The back wall is labelled CHEMISTRY, and it is packed Floyd | full. You can return to the north. Floyd | Floyd | When you had cases, you would look up various topics here, in the Floyd | halls of your mind. But that was years ago.
