| DavidW says, "I thought we could play Snowquest by Eric Eve today." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Sounds good." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I like his work." | ||
| DavidW says, "yeah, good author and the game is seasonal, obvs." | ||
| asparagus has arrived. | ||
| Roger has arrived. | DavidW says, "It was already on Floyd too." | |
| Roger says, "I respect his work but I'm not sure if I actually enjoy it per se" | ||
| DavidW says, "I think I played it way back when but I've quite forgotten what it's about." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Roger), "I get that." | ||
| Roger says, "I'm gonna say it's a quest for snow" | ||
| DavidW says, "I think it's a quest through the snow. Survival and finding shelter." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh. Ah." | ||
| DavidW says, "but there's probably more to it than that." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "For what reason? We shall see." | ||
| DavidW says, "At least I won't have to taste paintings and smell chairs every five minutes." | ||
| Jacqueline chuckle.s | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'll warn in advance that I'm on a treadmill, so I suspect some of my typing will be ... yeah." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm good to go whenev." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "load sleepmask snowquest" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You can hardly remember how long ago it was you first set out on your | ||
| CF | quest; it feels like months. Nor can you recall how long it's been | ||
| CF | since you last saw another human being; that feels like weeks. Your | ||
| CF | memories have become so jumbled you find it hard to recall any | ||
| CF | particular incident at all, but you reckon it's been nearly two days | ||
| CF | since the last of your food ran out, and at least three since you lost | ||
| CF | most of your equipment in a snow-slide, and now you are cold, hungry, | ||
| CF | and all but totally exhausted. It's only some grim mixture of habit, | ||
| CF | determination, and stubborn refusal just to lie down and die that | ||
| CF | keeps you plodding on mile after mile after mile. But now at last the | ||
| CF | mountain range is in sight, and there you know your quest will end. | ||

| CF | 6/12N) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Snow Plain | ||
| CF | Snow is all around you, reducing everything in sight to a vast, white, | ||
| CF | featureless plain. You'd hardly be able to tell one direction from | ||
| CF | another were it not for the sun rapidly sinking towards the western | ||
| CF | horizon, and the mountains up ahead to the north. Unless you're much | ||
| CF | mistaken, those mountains mark the end of your quest, but you won't | ||
| CF | reach them tonight. Indeed, if you don't find shelter soon, you'll | ||
| CF | probably freeze. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | For a moment, there seems to be something sparkling in the sky, but | ||
| CF | then it's gone. | ||
| CF | | ||

| Jacqueline says, "(That Floyd is working, I mean, not the game'" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "er, not the game's premise." | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You trudge on for a while, until you find yourself ascending a track | ||
| CF | through the foothills. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Track Through Foothills | ||
| CF | The track is knee-deep in snow. To the south the ground descends | ||
| CF | gently back towards the plain, while to the north it meanders towards | ||
| CF | the distant mountain. Just to the west is the mouth of a cave where | ||
| CF | you could take shelter for the night. Some distance above the mouth of | ||
| CF | the cave a small, leafless tree clings to the barren hillside. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The reddening sun is approaching its nightly death, having sunk level | ||
| CF | with the top of the hillside. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Jacqueline says, "CAVE" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Let's hope there's a bear, Roger." | ||
| DavidW asks, "so, just go west? Or examine cave and tree first?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm good with examining." | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Several of its branches, laden with snow, overhang the path. It looks | ||
| CF | as if at least one of them has broken off. | ||

| Jacqueline asks, "What sort of irresponsible snow traveler are we?" | ||
| DavidW says, "We had an accident." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well. Okay. I guess." | ||
| Roger says, "we fell into a bit plot hole" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh right, the snow slide." | ||
| DavidW | you lost most of your equipment in a snow-slide | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah" | ||
| DavidW says, "Let's take a branch; maybe it will become a torch if we wish hard enough." | ||
| DavidW asks, "Bears carry matches, right?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Generally, yeah." | ||

| DavidW says (to Roger), "oh maybe." | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Large Cave | ||
| CF | The cave is irregular in shape, as if scooped out of the rock by a mad | ||
| CF | giant in a fit of rage. The rear of the cave is broad, with a crooked | ||
| CF | cranny leading off to the northwest, but it's much narrower at the | ||
| CF | east end, just by the exit. The centre of the cave is fairly spacious, | ||
| CF | and is at least dry and sheltered from the wind, and there are plenty | ||
| CF | of places where the ground isn't too rough. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You take a quick look round the cave, and decide it's probably your | ||
| CF | best bet for the night. Ideally, you'd like to get a fire going before | ||
| CF | trying to sleep, however. | ||

| CF ] Exits: southeast | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Small Nook | ||
| CF | This small nook is formed by a short jagged passage running from the | ||
| CF | rear of the cave, coming to an end where the nook wall closes in. | ||
| CF | There's quite a musty smell but barely enough light to see by here, so | ||
| CF | to find anything you'd need to feel your way, but you can just see | ||
| CF | that the main part of the cave lies to the southeast. | ||

| CF ] Small Nook 0/12 | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | There's quite a musty smell in here, suggestive of stale vegetation. | ||

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "take moss" | ||
| CF ] Small Nook 0/15 | ||
| CF ] Exits: southeast | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > TAKE MOSS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | More by touch than by sight, you peel off as much of the moss from the | ||
| CF | wall as you can find. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You tug on the rope as hard as you can, and the tree starts to lean | ||
| CF | some more. With a sharp snap, it finally gives way and tumbles into | ||
| CF | the crevasse, jerking the makeshift rope from your hand as it does so. | ||
| CF | The snow built up behind it follows, triggering a minor avalanche in | ||
| CF | which a whole mass of snow, earth and rubble tumbles down the hillside | ||
| CF | toward you, and then falls into the crevasse. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | It seems the crevasse was not as securely filled as you first thought. | ||
| CF | As you walk across it you feel the snow start to give way beneath you, | ||
| CF | so that you are forced to run the last few feet. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Narrow Ledge | ||
| CF | This narrow ledge is quite some way up the mountain, seemingly above | ||
| CF | the tree-line, since there's no sign of anything growing here at all. | ||
| CF | The mountainside becomes too steep to continue up directly to the | ||
| CF | north, and there is a deep crevasse immediately to the south, but you | ||
| CF | could follow the ledge round the mountain to east or west. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | As you turn to look back you see that all the snow and rubble you just | ||
| CF | walked across has collapsed deep into the crevasse, rendering it | ||
| CF | totally impassable once more. It seems the only way you'll ever get | ||
| CF | back down the mountain now is by finding the Book of Yashor and | ||
| CF | learning its secrets; the way Old Mundle talks about it, once you've | ||
| CF | read the Book of Yashor anything should be possible. Glancing at the | ||
