| DavidW says, "We're playing Augmented Fourth." | ||
| DavidW says, "And we haven't picked any driver yet." | ||
| Sandon says, "Augmented fourth? I love that one. I've already plaid like half of it." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We usually pick a driver if things are timed, or there's a big map, or... or other reasons. But sometimes we just explore the game as a group until we see the need for a driver." | ||
| DavidW says, "I probably won't be driving since I've played and I have to keep my spoilery-mouth shut." | ||
| Sandon says, "I've plaid some but not much, I'll still do a big oll spoiler" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Sandon), "Ah. Well, then you may need to just watch, until we get to where you haven't played. We're fine as long as your honest." | ||
| Sandon says, "when can you actually use say command and when should you use clubfloyd channel? sorry for all the questions, I'm kinda new to this" | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "wait so has everyone played it but me?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I have not played it, T" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "oh ok cool" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I don't think I played it, but I'm not 100% sure." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask aug4" | ||

Floyd ] Orchestra Pit, in Midair Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | "In ye go!" With a heave and shove, two burly guards in matching green Floyd | tights toss you into Orchestra Pit. As the earthen sides rush past you Floyd | and sunlight dims, you have the sinking sensation that perhaps "Ode to Floyd | a Duck" was not the best choice from your repertoire... Floyd | Floyd | Augmented Fourth Floyd | An Interactive Performance Floyd | (c) 2000-2013 by Brian Uri!, [LINK] Floyd | Type "help" at any time for game information. Floyd | Release 3 / Serial number 130702 / Inform v6.21 Library 6/10 Floyd | Floyd | Orchestra Pit, in Midair Floyd | The earthen sides of this pit look loose and near the consistency of Floyd | mud. They seem to rush past as the speed of your descent increases. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Sandon exclaims, "cooool, we've got some action!" | Teaspoon says, "snort an *orchestra pit*" | |
| Sandon asks, "who's gonna go for this bit?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Oh wow. Copyright 2000-20*13*?" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "long lead time" | ||
| DavidW says, "I think free-for-all is fine until we leave the pit." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So this is either a very tightly timed situation, or an eternal drop like in Alice in Wonderland." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Orchestra Pit, in Midair Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You're looking a bit worse for the wear. Floyd | Floyd | Flailing helplessly, you fall further into the pit... Floyd | Floyd | Orchestra Pit, in Midair Floyd | The light from above dims with each passing moment. A large gnarled Floyd | root from some hidden root system protrudes from the side of the pit Floyd | here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "grab root" | ||
Floyd ] Orchestra Pit, in Midair Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > GRAB ROOT Floyd | Floyd | Straining, you reach out and make a grab for the root. You manage to Floyd | hang on for a few moments, but the combination of a pulpy texture and Floyd | the slickness of mud prevents you from keeping it in your grasp. Floyd | Floyd | Up above, the guard with the hooked nose nudges his companion. "Hey Floyd | Rob, aren't ye supposed to read the fellow his sentence?" The other Floyd | guard blinks and nods. "Quite right, Jim..." He searches for the Floyd | scroll in the pockets of his tights for a few seconds before realizing Floyd | that they have no pockets. "One moment...It's around here somewhere." Floyd | He disappears from view. Floyd | Floyd | Your face turns an unhealthy green as you fall, and you wonder what Floyd | ever possessed you to audition for the King... Floyd | Floyd | Orchestra Pit, in Midair Floyd | Although the bottom is quite dark, you think you are about halfway Floyd | down the pit. The end of a rope is caught in the muddy wall here and Floyd | the length of the rope hangs down about five feet. Floyd | Floyd | > | Sandon says, "I'll give a bit of a hint, it's not as bad as it looks like" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Rooty rescue." | ||
| Sandon asks, "alright, want me to go?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Nah." | ||
| Sandon says, "righty" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Wecan figure this out." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Orchestra Pit, in Midair Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You're looking a bit worse for the wear. Floyd | Floyd | Rob the Guard returns to the edge of the pit carrying a scroll. He Floyd | unrolls it and begins to read as the wind whips past your ears. Floyd | "Whereas today is the day after yesterday and the day before tomorrow, Floyd | and whereas I, King Goosen of Papoosen have set to this document my Floyd | seal, and whereas my seal ran off in search of fish, requiring me to Floyd | get another..." The hook-nosed guard elbows Rob. "Skip to the end, Floyd | Rob. Poor fellow's goin' to hit the bottom soon." Floyd | Floyd | The wind runs through your hair like a screaming banshee as you Floyd | continue your descent. If you had it all to do over you would have Floyd | practiced a little more. And learned a different song... Floyd | Floyd | Orchestra Pit, in Midair Floyd | You can just barely make out the bottom of the pit, far below you. A Floyd | small outcropping of stone juts from the side of the pit here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "Thoughts of the Witcher are nigh irresistable" | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Orchestra Pit, in Midair Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying nothing. Floyd | Floyd | "Good point there..." Rob the Guard clears his throat, searching for a Floyd | good spot to continue from. "And when in the course of human events, Floyd | eh, so and so and so and so...Ah, here we are!" He moves further down Floyd | the scroll and resumes his proclamation. "...and since I, King Goosen, Floyd | did not like his performance of 'Ode to a Duck', feeling that it was Floyd | inflammatory, I hereby banish him from my realm to spend the rest of Floyd | his days in Orchestra Pit, unless he should die from the fall, as most Floyd | people tend to do." Floyd | Floyd | The ground approaches with maddening steadiness. Perhaps you should Floyd | have been a carpenter... Or perhaps you just needed more than one song Floyd | in your repertoire. Floyd | Floyd | Orchestra Pit, in Midair Floyd | You are almost at the bottom of the pit. Now that impact is so Floyd | imminent, you almost wish you could keep on falling. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "sing" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > SING Floyd | Floyd | Singing was never your forte. Floyd | Floyd | Rob the Guard adjusts his spectacles. "And should he, in that time, Floyd | learn to play better, it shall not matter, since there is no way back Floyd | out of the Pit. This I hereby put to paper as my word is the law when Floyd | the law is my word, when it is heard. Indeed. Thus I spake. Er, spoke. Floyd | Alright, scribe, stop your dictating now." Finishing, Rob rolls up the Floyd | scroll and puts it away. Floyd | Floyd | With a loud SHLURP, you land in the mud at the bottom of the pit... Floyd | Floyd | Pit Bottom Floyd | The pit is about twenty yards in diameter and run-off from the sides Floyd | drains into a large mud puddle in the center of floor. The air is Floyd | thick with the odour of mud and mildew. Floyd | Floyd | You stretch and do a quick check, thankfully finding that you're still Floyd | whole. Floyd | Floyd | Jim grimaces and sucks his tooth. "Ouch! That had to sting..." He cups Floyd | his mouth and shouts down to you, "You're lucky, old pal! A few people Floyd | have been known to break all of their limbs with that drop!" He elbows Floyd | Rob and snickers. "But then, it wouldn't be much of an experience if Floyd | he up and died so quickly, eh?" Rob nods. "Indeed..." Floyd | Floyd | By some trick of acoustics, you can still hear the guards' banter Floyd | quite clearly. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I'm guessing no matter what I grab, we shall fall, so." | |
| DavidW says, "mmhm" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "....we're a bard who can't sing, huh" | ||
| Sandon says, "looks like so" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "The worst kind of bard." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "wellll guess we just gotta get out of this hole then" | ||
| Sandon exclaims, "he's not a bard, he's a babard, a bad bard!" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Well, maybe except bagpipe bards." | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "what DO we play I wonder. the lute? the harp? the xylophone?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "You're right, the writing is great for ClubFloyd During Pandemic." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "xyxxy" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > XYXXY Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise. Floyd | Floyd | > | Sandon asks, "I know the answers to these, should I hint or just keep it?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Just keep it, please." | ||
| Sandon says, "alright" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "exits" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > EXITS Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | You seem to be trapped in a pit at the moment. Floyd | Floyd | Up above, Jim holds a whispered conversation with Rob before Floyd | disappearing from view. He returns a few moments later with a large Floyd | oblong case. "We almost forgot to give ye your trumpet back!" With a Floyd | grunt, he tosses the case into the pit and it begins the downward Floyd | journey you just finished. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "oh the TRUMPET" | |
| Teaspoon says, "okies" | ||
| DavidW says (to Teaspoon), "You probably meant XYZZY earlier." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "You and DW can chat about us on #cfspoilers, just please please please don't mischannel" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "thanks David" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "We've barely started. We can ask if we need to." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "XYZZY" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > XYZZY Floyd | Floyd | You feel a tugging sensation at the tips of your toes. Without Floyd | warning, you suddenly wink out of existence... Floyd | Floyd | Control Room Floyd | Red and blue lights flash from long metal panels of all shapes and Floyd | sizes. As your eyes become accustomed to this distraction, you see Floyd | hundreds of little gnomelike men rushing in every direction, carrying Floyd | all manner of objects. One particular gnome brushes by with a package Floyd | labeled "Papoosen Propworks: mirrored walls". Floyd | Floyd | Next to you, a tall gnome, who looks to be in charge, shouts orders Floyd | into the organized chaos, occasionally stopping to make notes in his Floyd | black binder. Floyd | Floyd | The head gnome turns impatiently. "D'you put that music in the volcano Floyd | yet, Larry?" He blinks. "Yer not Larry...Hey! How'd you get here?" Floyd | Obviously displeased, the head gnome sets his black binder down and Floyd | frowns. "This here's a restricted area, pal! I don't know how you Floyd | figgered out the magic word, but you'll hafta get gone!" Floyd | Floyd | He snaps his fingers briskly. A moment of disorientation finds you Floyd | back where you were before. You can't help but wonder if it was all Floyd | just a dream, brought on by the stress of the week's events... Floyd | Floyd | Pit Bottom Floyd | Floyd | The trumpet case continues its descent, occasionally rebounding off Floyd | the sides of the pit. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "well that's a thing" | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "wait" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > WAIT Floyd | Floyd | Time passes... Floyd | Floyd | Jim calls down again, "Mind that ye watch out for the lurkin' sea Floyd | monsters down in all of that mud! They're hungry little devils, they Floyd | are, and it'd be a shame to see ye eaten up." He puts a gloved hand to Floyd | his mouth and stage-whispers sideways to Rob. "Though that's what Floyd | usually happens to 'em all, isn't it, Rob?" The other guard nods Floyd | agreeably. "Quite right..." Floyd | Floyd | The trumpet case continues to fall. Luckily, the clasps seem to have Floyd | stayed latched despite the beating it is taking on the way down. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Oh my fourth wall." | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "pray" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > PRAY Floyd | Floyd | You mumble a quick prayer. Floyd | Floyd | Rob whispers something to Jim and they both laugh. Floyd | Floyd | Spinning like a house dropped from a cyclone, the trumpet case falls Floyd | further into the pit. It is only about ten feet above, and falling Floyd | fast. Floyd | Floyd | > | Sandon asks, "does someone want to propperly spell xyzzy and see what it does?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Also that poor trumpet." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Guess that's our trumpet?" | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "Sandon, is your terminal lagging?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "take all" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE ALL Floyd | Floyd | There are none at all available! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "l" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > L Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Pit Bottom Floyd | The pit is about twenty yards in diameter and run-off from the sides Floyd | drains into a large mud puddle in the center of floor. Every step Floyd | squelches like grapes under a cart wheel and the air is thick with the Floyd | odour of mud and mildew. Floyd | Floyd | With a sickening squish, the case lands in the mud, its top torn off Floyd | and clasps lost in transit. The trumpet rolls out, and though a little Floyd | dirty, it seems to have weathered the fall pretty well. It's a good Floyd | thing your case was Doofa-certified! Floyd | Floyd | > | Sandon says, "why? I use a screen reader, that's all. it might take a bit" | |
| Sandon says, "my computer is super boggy today though, yeah" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Ah. Makes sense. He asked because we'd already corrected the Xyzzy" | ||
| Sandon says, "Oh od I'm sorry" | ||
| Teaspoon exclaims, "no worries!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "no worries" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "take all" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE ALL Floyd | Floyd | trumpet: Taken. Floyd | broken case: It's useless in its current state. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Sandon says, "poor trumpet" | Teaspoon says, "and now we are BARD" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "I mean, it happens all the time to me, I say something, aand it's already obsolete." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x trumpet" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > X TRUMPET Floyd | Floyd | The trumpet is a beautiful silver affair that was specially-made for Floyd | you in Lower Suburban Papoosen. Each valve is capped with gold-plate Floyd | and has a pearl inlay for a finger button. The bell is engraved with Floyd | spidery lines which weave around it in symmetric patterns. Floyd | Floyd | Rob calls down, "Hallo down there! Are ye bored yet? It must get Floyd | pretty tedious explorin' a room with no exits in any of the four Floyd | cardinal directions but it wouldn't be much of a prison otherwise, eh? Floyd | It's not like we promised ye a beach resort!" Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks (of Teaspoon/KO), "Did you all get the idea that some of these walls are fake and we can just walk?" | |
| Sandon asks, "is that supposed to be meta?" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "....well, I hadn't no" | ||
| Sandon says, "it looks like it" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "still admiring TRUMPET" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "That's what I got from the 'wall mirrors' or whatever they were called when we did the Xyzzy thing" | ||
| Sandon says, "with the hole "exits" thing. This is super weird." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "play trumpet" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > PLAY TRUMPET Floyd | Floyd | You play "Ode to a Duck" on the trumpet. Up above, Jim cackles. "No Floyd | wonder the King ordered you to be tossed in the pit! That's got to be Floyd | the worst playing we've ever heard, right, Rob?" Floyd | Floyd | "Indeed..." Floyd | Floyd | Rob squints against the sun. "Hey, what are ye doin' down there? I Floyd | hope ye aren't tryin' to escape, since there's no way out of Orchestra Floyd | Pit. Just be a good fellow and wait for the sea monsters to come eat Floyd | ye." Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu asks, "I mean, the cardinal directions are supposed to be blocked. There was no mention of the diagonals, was there?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "I'm guessing the cardinal directions are not blocked" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "May I try?" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "let's try" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Try." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "n" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | You seem to be trapped in a pit at the moment. Floyd | Floyd | Jim shields his eyes from the sun and peers into the gloom. "Ye comfy Floyd | down there? I s'pose we could always throw ye down an antique brass Floyd | lantern if it'd help you feel at home. There's no way out of the pit, Floyd | so ye'd best get settled in." Floyd | Floyd | > | Sandon says, "diagonals are just two cardinals, bet they still fit in the no go catagory of exits of the month" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "ne" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > NE Floyd | Floyd | You seem to be trapped in a pit at the moment. Floyd | Floyd | "Sea monsters should get here any minute now," proclaims Rob Floyd | cheerfully. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "huh" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "e" | ||

Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > SW Floyd | Floyd | You seem to be trapped in a pit at the moment. Floyd | Floyd | "Nothin' personal, but it's always fun watchin' poor fellows like Floyd | yourself gettin' munched on by the sea monsters!" Jim nods vigorously Floyd | and Rob agrees. "Indeed..." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "up" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > UP Floyd | Floyd | The sides of the pit are too slippery to climb, but in your attempt, Floyd | you dislodge some mud from the east side. There is now a small muddy Floyd | hole to show for your efforts. Floyd | Floyd | The two guards chuckle at some unheard joke. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | You seem to be trapped in a pit at the moment. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x hole" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > X HOLE Floyd | Floyd | It is hard to tell what is on the other side from here. But the hole Floyd | looks like it could easily be enlarged. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "nne" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > NNE Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "dig hole" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > DIG HOLE Floyd | Floyd | You pull away some mud from around the hole. It is a little bigger Floyd | now. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Okay, I'm done with my experiment" | |
| Sandon says, "it's a faiiiiil" | ||
| DavidW says, "Perhaps Jacqueline is lagging too." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I am not" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I'm chortling that UP is the wayout" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "dig hole" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > DIG HOLE Floyd | Floyd | You pull away some mud from around the hole. It is now fairly Floyd | sizeable, but still not big enough to go through. Floyd | Floyd | The two guards chuckle at some unheard joke. Floyd | Floyd | > | Sandon says, "perhaps life is lagging" | |
| Jacqueline says, "I was just trying to do my thing first." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "dig hole" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > DIG HOLE Floyd | Floyd | You pull away some mud from around the hole. It's fairly big, about Floyd | half your size, and vague shapes are taking form on the other side. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "oh no sea monsters" | |
| Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x shapes" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 0 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > X SHAPES Floyd | Floyd | The hole is about half your size now. Vague shapes can be seen on the Floyd | other side but you can't make out any detail. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "let's find out if they're delicious" | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "dig hole" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > DIG HOLE Floyd | Floyd | You pull away some mud from around the hole. It is now large enough to Floyd | fit through. Floyd | Floyd | [You have just gained one point in Masonry Deconstruction.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "yay" | |
| Teaspoon says, "...what a remarkably specific skil" | ||
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "Freedom!" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x shapes" | ||
Floyd ] Pit Bottom Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > X SHAPES Floyd | Floyd | A large man-sized hole dominated the east side. On the other side, you Floyd | see a narrow passageway, a good deal cleaner than your current Floyd | position. Floyd | Floyd | > | Sandon says, "yeahhh, it's like the faux-skill-system-making skill" | |
| Teaspoon asks, "east then?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "sure" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Yeah." | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd ] Narrow Passage Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | You gingerly climb through the hole, careful to avoid the occasional Floyd | drip of water which threatens your pate. Floyd | Floyd | Up above, Jim leans over the edge of the pit, squinting. "Hallo down Floyd | there! Where'd ye go?" He frowns and turns to Rob. "He must have Floyd | already gotten eaten by the little devils... Poor fellow, he didn't Floyd | even have a chance to shout out!" Floyd | Floyd | "Indeed..." muses Rob. Floyd | Floyd | The two continue their vigil into the pit for a few more minutes Floyd | before deciding that nothing else will happen. "Ah well, Jim, there's Floyd | always that lad involved in the pickle caper that we get to toss in Floyd | next week! Come on, let's cover the pit back up!" Floyd | Floyd | From your vantage point, you watch as the two guards struggle with a Floyd | heavy metal hatch. There is a resounding clang as the hatch is locked Floyd | into place and fourteen less-resounding clicks as the guards ensure Floyd | that it will not be openable from the inside. A few more minutes pass Floyd | and all sounds from above fade away. In the pale light which peeks Floyd | around the hatch, you take stock of your new surroundings, resigned to Floyd | your new dismal home. Floyd | Floyd | Narrow Passage Floyd | In the dim light, you see that you have entered a roughly-carved Floyd | hallway running in from the north and around a sharp turn to the Floyd | northeast. The light outlines a massive pile of uncut rocks against Floyd | the south wall. In the midst of crumbled masonry, a large hole Floyd | decorates the west wall, with stray rivulets of mud oozing from Floyd | within. Floyd | Floyd | You feel a bit hungry. It doesn't matter though...you're a pretty Floyd | tough cookie. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "oh noooo not a food timer" | |
| Sandon says, "I umm have to go, like real life and stuff..." | ||
| Teaspoon exclaims, "b'well!" | ||
| DavidW says, "bye Sandon" | ||
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "Take care!" | ||
| Sandon says, "bye" | ||
| Sandon says, "you too, be careful, that" | ||
| Sandon goes home. | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Narrow Passage Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You're looking a bit worse for the wear. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x rocks" | ||
Floyd ] Narrow Passage Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > X ROCKS Floyd | Floyd | The rock pile against the south wall consists mostly of massive chunks Floyd | of granite, although you do see a few heavy rocks of more manageable Floyd | size close to the top. Floyd | Floyd | > | Teaspoon says, "me: do we even need rocks" | |
| Teaspoon says, "me, if player: OOH TAKE EVERYTHING" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "take all" | ||
Floyd ] Narrow Passage Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE ALL Floyd | Floyd | heavy rock: You're carrying too much to pick up the rock. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW chuckles at some unheard joke. | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Narrow Passage Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a trumpet Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu asks, "Can we push or pull the rocks?" | |
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "drop trumpet" | ||
Floyd ] Narrow Passage Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > DROP TRUMPET Floyd | Floyd | Dropped. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "take rock" | ||

Floyd ] Narrow Passage Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > DROP ROCK Floyd | Floyd | Dropped. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "look" | ||
Floyd ] Narrow Passage Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > LOOK Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Narrow Passage Floyd | In the dim light, you see that you have entered a roughly-carved Floyd | hallway running in from the north and around a sharp turn to the Floyd | northeast. The light outlines a massive pile of uncut rocks against Floyd | the south wall. In the midst of crumbled masonry, a large hole Floyd | decorates the west wall, with stray rivulets of mud oozing from Floyd | within. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a heavy rock and a trumpet here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "I didn't expect us to be able to actually get the rock." | |
| Teaspoon asks, "I think it's just a wall that generates rocks?" | ||
| Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x rock" | ||
Floyd ] Narrow Passage Score: 1 Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > X ROCK Floyd | Floyd | The burdensome rock has a coarse texture which luckily provides a good Floyd | grip. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I'd explore a bit more." | |
| Knight_Otu asks, "Do we need to save early and often?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh good point. Maybe." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "oooh right" | ||
| Jacqueline clears the save counter. | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "SAVE" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "cf1" | ||

Floyd | That wall from the pit must have finally broken down... we haven't had Floyd | a visitor down here in years!" He rushes up to you, nearly bowling you Floyd | over in the process, and shakes your hand furiously. "I am Leonine, Floyd | the magician, and this is my home!

Floyd | And if you got tossed in the pit...well, sniveling snails, you must be Floyd | on my side of the bed! Are you odd?"

Floyd | Doofa and Doofa-Certified Products:
Floyd | Doofa - a veritable genius of the last century. When Doofa entered the
Floyd | realm of commercial ventures, he saw men all around him scrambling for
Floyd | control and dominance in every market from clocks to toffees.
Floyd | Realizing he could never compete with such fierce competition, Doofa
Floyd | instead formed the Doofa Certification Board, a stringent one-person
Floyd | committee which requires "every product ever made and everything else"
Floyd | to be thoroughly inspected before distribution. His "monopoly on

Floyd | is a household term, even years after his death.

Floyd | Commerce in Papoosen:
Floyd | In times past, commerce in Papoosen was a free and open market. Then
Floyd | one day, a wagon wheel maker realized that she would have a much
Floyd | better chance at profits if she were the only wagon wheel maker in the
Floyd | business. Rather than take the time to actually corner the wheel
Floyd | market and create high quality parts, she instead opted to "register"
Floyd | her monopoly with the current king. As merchants realized how easy it
Floyd | could be to claim a monopoly without doing any more work than before,
Floyd | the rush was on. People claimed monopolies on almost everything
Floyd | imaginable, even things which they never even planned on selling.
Floyd | Things peaked when Doofa created his certification board and took the
Floyd | monopoly on monopolies. The rush ended soon after, with one minor
Floyd | consequence for the people of Papoosen. Due to a miscalculation by old
Floyd | man Stebar, no new clocks could be made and so the passing of time
Floyd | went out of vogue as the older clocks stopped working.

Floyd ] Study Score: 9 Floyd | Dawn Floyd | Floyd | > READ IT Floyd | Floyd | You thumb through the book to find that only a few pages have Floyd | entries Floyd | on them... Floyd | Floyd | To The Reader: It is my humble hope that this will one day be a Floyd | definitive dictionary of music, preferably with a nice big number Floyd | in Floyd | front, perhaps "Finney's Book of Nine Billion, Eighty-Four Floyd | Definitions Floyd | of Music for the Layman", or maybe Infinite if I can write that Floyd | much, Floyd | but anyhow, I digress... Floyd | Floyd | Cadence: The musical chords which outline a final resting point in Floyd | a Floyd | song. Personally I think cadences make music far too predictable so Floyd | I Floyd | usually only use one. And actually, in fifteen of my thirty-seven Floyd | "Studies Only Using the Note F" I forwent a cadence entirely! Floyd | Floyd | Embouchure: To people who play brass instruments, like the trumpet Floyd | and Floyd | tuba, the embouchure is the area of the lips that play into the Floyd | mouthpiece. People with stronger embouchures have more playing Floyd | endurance and can play difficult passages with ease. Floyd | Floyd | Key: The tonal level of a piece of music. There are twelve major Floyd | keys Floyd | starting on each of twelve pitches between A and G. The major keys Floyd | are Floyd | the happy ones! There are also twelve minor keys, which start on Floyd | the Floyd | same pitches, for a grand total of 24 keys. Personally I like the Floyd | keys Floyd | of Ab minor and D major. Floyd | Floyd | Overtones: These are the natural tones that are produced at various Floyd | intervals over the pitch being playing. Though you can't always Floyd | hear Floyd | them enough to label them, they give every instrument a unique Floyd | timbre. Floyd | Floyd | Transposition: This is the act of taking a piece of music written Floyd | in Floyd | one key and rewriting it in a different key. One time, as an Floyd | exercise, Floyd | I transposed all four thousand of my G major sonatas to C# major. Floyd | There isn't much to do down here. Floyd | Floyd | Tritone: Also known as the augmented fourth or diminished fifth. Floyd | The Floyd | interval of notes that is the exact one half of an octave in the Floyd | standard system. To the ear, its sound is easily recognizable, Floyd | although one cannot tell whether the interval is an augmented Floyd | fourth Floyd | or a diminished fifth, since the two are the same sounding pitch. Floyd | An Floyd | example tritone is C to F# (augmented fourth) or C to Gb Floyd | (diminished Floyd | fifth), both of which sound the same. I once tried to write a piece Floyd | exclusively in tritones. However, I ran out of new notes in the Floyd | second Floyd | measure, and initial reactions to the twelve minute piece were not Floyd | very good. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| CF | Seated next to the dais, the Royal Scribe diligently takes notes as | ||
| CF | the King speaks. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "...let it be known that I am very pleased with the marked decline in | ||
| CF | popularity of ducks! I now decree that the ownership of ducks is | ||
| CF | illegal! Anyone who owns a duck, or is related to someone with a duck, | ||
| CF | or marries a duck, shall be publicly taunted and then cast out of | ||
| CF | society to live in my deepest dungeon, as soon as it is constructed. | ||
| CF | Thus I speak. Or spake." The exalted King wrings his hands. "I can | ||

| CF | "Here, Your Highness...and still writing." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Put in an addendum: The word speak shall always be conjugated | ||

| CF | paces. "Let's see...I shall have to find a way to enforce my latest | ||
| CF | law... Royal Advisor!" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | "How shall I enforce the duck ban? There shall be no ducks by sundown | ||
| CF | tomorrow." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The Advisor scratches his chin. "Perhaps you could place a duck in | ||
| CF | every home and then have the entire population arrested and deported. | ||
| CF | Saves the search time." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | King Goosen ponders this intently for a moment and shakes his head. | ||
| CF | "There aren't enough ducks in the land to carry that out." He snaps. | ||
| CF | "I've got it! We'll use the same duck and recycle it. Advisor, take | ||
| CF | care of the details...I'm off to my morning Piddle Ball match!" | ||

| CF | Morning sunlight peeks through the decorative flags in the upper | ||

| CF | line each wall with guards enforcing order. Kneeling before the dais, | ||
| CF | one unlucky commoner speaks. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "But Your Majesty! The duck wasn't there the night before. I bet it | ||
| CF | was just my neighbour, Mr. Grindstaff." His voice drops to a furtive | ||
| CF | whisper. "If you must know, he's always been a duck sympathizer." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | From the gallery, a voice rings out, evidently the aforementioned Mr. | ||
| CF | Grindstaff. "Choke on a turnip, ye yellow-bellied liar!" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Silence, churlio!" A guard bangs his halberd on the marble floor. All | ||
| CF | eyes turn to the throne. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The King conveys a postcard image of wisdom before dispelling the | ||
| CF | illusion by speaking. "Your tale is obviously false, peasant. It's | ||
| CF | well-known that most duck owners keep their duck at the bottom of a | ||
| CF | moldy haystack where no one has tread for years, and that's exactly | ||
| CF | where we found yours. I sentence you to death and then deportation!" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The Advisor hurriedly whispers something in the King's ear. The royal | ||
| CF | personage looks crestfallen. "They can't, eh? Blast it all! You | ||
| CF | peasant! I sentence you to deportation, and maybe death, if you should | ||
| CF | happen to die along the way." The King snaps and the guards carry the | ||
| CF | pleading peasant away. He is quickly replaced by a more worldly man, | ||
| CF | also accused of harbouring a duck. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The King points at the man. "You sir, are accused of the same crime. | ||
| CF | What do you have to say for yourself?" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The man smiles craftily. "Obviously I own a duck. Your men found it | ||
| CF | buried under that boulder in my yard." The onlookers gasp as the man | ||
| CF | pleads guilty. He chuckles and leans in closer to the King. "What | ||
| CF | really has me worried, though, is this surge in the population of | ||
| CF | hamsters." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The King nods emphatically. "Actually, I find hamsters to be quite | ||
| CF | disagreeable little beasts. Always running this way and | ||
| CF | that...demanding food, shelter, and even immunity from property tax!" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Indeed they are a nuisance," agrees the man. "In fact, I bet that | ||
| CF | owning a hamster is even worse than harbouring a duck!" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The King thinks about this new gem of knowledge and has a quick huddle | ||
| CF | with his Advisor. "Very well then. You, sir, are free to go on one | ||
| CF | condition! You must bring back more information about this hamster | ||
| CF | problem and the best way we can combat it! Dismissed!" | ||

| CF | Your Highness. But it would seem that hamsters have been nearly | ||
| CF | extinct for several years now. We could not find any deviants to | ||

| CF | key becomes major. However, the spell seems to go awry at the | ||

| CF | | ||

| CF | His restrained enthusiasm is contagious, and soon the entire team (and | ||
| CF | several onlookers) are engaged in a joyous dance around the dais. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The melody changes character and the second aspect of magic takes | ||
| CF | hold. The dancers feel the urge to be in a different place and every | ||

| CF | Leonine swings down the wall hanging like a boy from a treehouse and | ||
| CF | runs up to the fallen King. "Clamouring cheetahs, he's down for the | ||
| CF | count!" The magician shakes your hand and winks. "Shows you what a | ||
| CF | little practice can do, eh?" When he sees your clueless look, he | ||
| CF | points at your trumpet. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The horn looks like it always has, its clean lines and shining silver | ||
| CF | a foreshadower of the music within. However, the bell is no longer | ||
| CF | glowing with magic. Shocked, you look to Leonine for explanation. He | ||
| CF | slaps his thigh and qualifies. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Heck, I turned off that magic ages ago, silly neighbour! Everything | ||
| CF | you just did was the result of hard work and practice! Leapin' lemurs, | ||
| CF | who says that music isn't a little magical?" The crowd cheers madly | ||
| CF | and an older gentleman steps through the press. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Great giraffes, it's Finney!" Leonine dives through the crowd and | ||
| CF | gives his old friend a big bear hug. A little embarassed by the sudden | ||
| CF | attention, the man pats Leonine on the back and turns his attentions | ||
| CF | to you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "As this old coot has said, I am Finney...formerly Finney of Nolava, | ||
| CF | but now Finney the Augmented! I am third in a succession of musicians | ||
| CF | chosen to lead the Royal Conservatory of Papoosen." He points at the | ||
| CF | comatose King. "The talent I just saw today proves beyond a doubt that | ||
| CF | you're a fit candidate to be the fourth Augmented soul! I would be | ||
| CF | honoured if you would take my place and lead our musicians to a bright | ||
| CF | future. After all, King Goosen never did get the chance to melt down | ||
| CF | our trumpets!" He points to the corner where the crates sit. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Still shocked by your sudden turn of good luck, you can only stand in | ||
| CF | place, hoping a sudden gust of wind doesn't knock you over. Leonine | ||
| CF | elbows you in the ribs. "Say yes, neighbour! Finney and I need to | ||
| CF | catch up on old times, and he can't get away if he's got a position | ||
| CF | and a title and all that hodge-podge. But first, I think you'd better | ||
| CF | do something about Old Pudgy over there on the carpet." Looking at the | ||
| CF | inert body on the floor, a mischievous thought crosses your mind. You | ||
| CF | look up at Leonine and see that he's thinking the same thing. "Go for | ||
| CF | it, neighbour!" | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | One more time, you raise the trumpet to your lips and play. This | ||
| CF | special song, you dedicate to King Goosen and his many 'dedicated' | ||
| CF | years of service to Papoosen. Nothing happens at first, and you start | ||
| CF | to wonder if Leonine was pulling your leg. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Then a duck flies through the skylight... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | ...followed by a second, and a third. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Like a cacophonous mobile dinner party, a massive rain of ducks pours | ||
| CF | through the skylight. You count forty or fifty before you lose | ||
| CF | yourself in the sheer magnitude of the flock. The ducks settle around | ||
| CF | King Goosen and move him with their bills. Forming a living canvas | ||
| CF | underneath the King, the flock takes flight. Like a bug in a rug, the | ||
| CF | King is helplessly carried through the skylight by the ducks before | ||
| CF | disappearing over the horizon forever. | ||
