2 1 You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building.
3 1 Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and
5 2 You have walked up a hill, still in the forest. The road slopes back
6 2 down the other side of the hill. There is a building in the distance.
7 3 You are inside a building, a well house for a large spring.
8 4 You are in a valley in the forest beside a stream tumbling along a
10 5 The road, which approaches from the east, ends here amid the trees.
11 6 The forest thins out here to reveal a steep cliff. There is no way
12 6 down, but a small ledge can be seen to the west across the chasm.
13 7 At your feet all the water of the stream splashes into a 2-inch slit
14 7 in the rock. Downstream the streambed is bare rock.
15 8 You are in a 20-foot depression floored with bare dirt. Set into the
16 8 dirt is a strong steel grate mounted in concrete. A dry streambed
17 8 leads into the depression.
18 9 You are in a small chamber beneath a 3x3 steel grate to the surface.
19 9 A low crawl over cobbles leads inward to the west.
20 10 You are crawling over cobbles in a low passage. There is a dim light
21 10 at the east end of the passage.
22 11 You are in a debris room filled with stuff washed in from the surface.
23 11 A low wide passage with cobbles becomes plugged with mud and debris
24 11 here, but an awkward canyon leads upward and west. In the mud someone
25 11 has scrawled, "MAGIC WORD XYZZY".
26 12 You are in an awkward sloping east/west canyon.
27 13 You are in a splendid chamber thirty feet high. The walls are frozen
28 13 rivers of orange stone. An awkward canyon and a good passage exit
29 13 from east and west sides of the chamber.
30 14 At your feet is a small pit breathing traces of white mist. An east
31 14 passage ends here except for a small crack leading on.
32 15 You are at one end of a vast hall stretching forward out of sight to
33 15 the west. There are openings to either side. Nearby, a wide stone
34 15 staircase leads downward. The hall is filled with wisps of white mist
35 15 swaying to and fro almost as if alive. A cold wind blows up the
36 15 staircase. There is a passage at the top of a dome behind you.
37 16 The crack is far too small for you to follow. At its widest it is
38 16 barely wide enough to admit your foot.
39 17 You are on the east bank of a fissure slicing clear across the hall.
40 17 The mist is quite thick here, and the fissure is too wide to jump.
41 18 This is a low room with a crude note on the wall. The note says,
42 18 "You won't get it up the steps".
43 19 You are in the Hall of the Mountain King, with passages off in all
45 20 You are at the bottom of the pit with a broken neck.
46 21 You didn't make it.
47 22 The dome is unclimbable.
48 23 You are at the west end of the Twopit Room. There is a large hole in
49 23 the wall above the pit at this end of the room.
50 24 You are at the bottom of the eastern pit in the Twopit Room. There is
51 24 a small pool of oil in one corner of the pit.
52 25 You are at the bottom of the western pit in the Twopit Room. There is
53 25 a large hole in the wall about 25 feet above you.
54 26 You clamber up the plant and scurry through the hole at the top.
55 27 You are on the west side of the fissure in the Hall of Mists.
56 28 You are in a low n/s passage at a hole in the floor. The hole goes
57 28 down to an e/w passage.
58 29 You are in the south side chamber.
59 30 You are in the west side chamber of the Hall of the Mountain King.
60 30 A passage continues west and up here.
62 32 You can't get by the snake.
63 33 You are in a large room, with a passage to the south, a passage to the
64 33 west, and a wall of broken rock to the east. There is a large "Y2" on
65 33 a rock in the room's center.
66 34 You are in a jumble of rock, with cracks everywhere.
67 35 You're at a low window overlooking a huge pit, which extends up out of
68 35 sight. A floor is indistinctly visible over 50 feet below. Traces of
69 35 white mist cover the floor of the pit, becoming thicker to the right.
70 35 Marks in the dust around the window would seem to indicate that
71 35 someone has been here recently. Directly across the pit from you and
72 35 25 feet away there is a similar window looking into a lighted room. A
73 35 shadowy figure can be seen there peering back at you.
74 36 You are in a dirty broken passage. To the east is a crawl. To the
75 36 west is a large passage. Above you is a hole to another passage.
76 37 You are on the brink of a small clean climbable pit. A crawl leads
78 38 You are in the bottom of a small pit with a little stream, which
79 38 enters and exits through tiny slits.
80 39 You are in a large room full of dusty rocks. There is a big hole in
81 39 the floor. There are cracks everywhere, and a passage leading east.
82 40 You have crawled through a very low wide passage parallel to and north
83 40 of the Hall of Mists.
84 41 You are at the west end of the Hall of Mists. A low wide crawl
85 41 continues west and another goes north. To the south is a little
86 41 passage 6 feet off the floor.
87 42 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
88 43 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
89 44 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
90 45 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
94 49 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
95 50 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
96 51 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
97 52 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
98 53 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
100 55 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
102 57 You are on the brink of a thirty foot pit with a massive orange column
103 57 down one wall. You could climb down here but you could not get back
104 57 up. The maze continues at this level.
106 59 You have crawled through a very low wide passage parallel to and north
107 59 of the Hall of Mists.
108 60 You are at the east end of a very long hall apparently without side
109 60 chambers. To the east a low wide crawl slants up. To the north a
110 60 round two foot hole slants down.
111 61 You are at the west end of a very long featureless hall. The hall
112 61 joins up with a narrow north/south passage.
113 62 You are at a crossover of a high n/s passage and a low e/w one.
115 64 You are at a complex junction. A low hands and knees passage from the
116 64 north joins a higher crawl from the east to make a walking passage
117 64 going west. There is also a large room above. The air is damp here.
118 65 You are in Bedquilt, a long east/west passage with holes everywhere.
119 65 To explore at random select north, south, up, or down.
120 66 You are in a room whose walls resemble swiss cheese. Obvious passages
121 66 go west, east, ne, and nw. Part of the room is occupied by a large
123 67 You are at the east end of the Twopit Room. The floor here is
124 67 littered with thin rock slabs, which make it easy to descend the pits.
125 67 There is a path here bypassing the pits to connect passages from east
126 67 and west. There are holes all over, but the only big one is on the
127 67 wall directly over the west pit where you can't get to it.
128 68 You are in a large low circular chamber whose floor is an immense slab
129 68 fallen from the ceiling (Slab Room). East and west there once were
130 68 large passages, but they are now filled with boulders. Low small
131 68 passages go north and south, and the south one quickly bends west
132 68 around the boulders.
133 69 You are in a secret n/s canyon above a large room.
134 70 You are in a secret n/s canyon above a sizable passage.
135 71 You are in a secret canyon at a junction of three canyons, bearing
136 71 north, south, and se. The north one is as tall as the other two
138 72 You are in a large low room. Crawls lead north, se, and sw.
140 74 You are in a secret canyon which here runs e/w. It crosses over a
141 74 very tight canyon 15 feet below. If you go down you may not be able
143 75 You are at a wide place in a very tight n/s canyon.
144 76 The canyon here becomes too tight to go further south.
145 77 You are in a tall e/w canyon. A low tight crawl goes 3 feet north and
147 78 The canyon runs into a mass of boulders -- dead end.
148 79 The stream flows out through a pair of 1 foot diameter sewer pipes.
149 79 It would be advisable to use the exit.
150 80 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
153 83 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
154 84 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
157 87 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
158 88 You are in a long, narrow corridor stretching out of sight to the
159 88 west. At the eastern end is a hole through which you can see a
160 88 profusion of leaves.
161 89 There is nothing here to climb. Use "up" or "out" to leave the pit.
162 90 You have climbed up the plant and out of the pit.
163 91 You are at the top of a steep incline above a large room. You could
164 91 climb down here, but you would not be able to climb up. There is a
165 91 passage leading back to the north.
166 92 You are in the Giant Room. The ceiling here is too high up for your
167 92 lamp to show it. Cavernous passages lead east, north, and south. On
168 92 the west wall is scrawled the inscription, "FEE FIE FOE FOO" [sic].
169 93 The passage here is blocked by a recent cave-in.
170 94 You are at one end of an immense north/south passage.
171 95 You are in a magnificent cavern with a rushing stream, which cascades
172 95 over a sparkling waterfall into a roaring whirlpool which disappears
173 95 through a hole in the floor. Passages exit to the south and west.
174 96 You are in the Soft Room. The walls are covered with heavy curtains,
175 96 the floor with a thick pile carpet. Moss covers the ceiling.
176 97 This is the Oriental Room. Ancient oriental cave drawings cover the
177 97 walls. A gently sloping passage leads upward to the north, another
178 97 passage leads se, and a hands and knees crawl leads west.
179 98 You are following a wide path around the outer edge of a large cavern.
180 98 Far below, through a heavy white mist, strange splashing noises can be
181 98 heard. The mist rises up through a fissure in the ceiling. The path
182 98 exits to the south and west.
183 99 You are in an alcove. A small nw path seems to widen after a short
184 99 distance. An extremely tight tunnel leads east. It looks like a very
185 99 tight squeeze. An eerie light can be seen at the other end.
186 100 You're in a small chamber lit by an eerie green light. An extremely
187 100 narrow tunnel exits to the west. A dark corridor leads ne.
188 101 You're in the dark-room. A corridor leading south is the only exit.
189 102 You are in an arched hall. A coral passage once continued up and east
190 102 from here, but is now blocked by debris. The air smells of sea water.
191 103 You're in a large room carved out of sedimentary rock. The floor and
192 103 walls are littered with bits of shells imbedded in the stone. A
193 103 shallow passage proceeds downward, and a somewhat steeper one leads
194 103 up. A low hands and knees passage enters from the south.
195 104 You are in a long sloping corridor with ragged sharp walls.
196 105 You are in a cul-de-sac about eight feet across.
197 106 You are in an anteroom leading to a large passage to the east. Small
198 106 passages go west and up. The remnants of recent digging are evident.
199 106 A sign in midair here says "Cave under construction beyond this point.
200 106 Proceed at own risk. [Witt Construction Company]"
201 107 You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all different.
202 108 You are at Witt's End. Passages lead off in *ALL* directions.
203 109 You are in a north/south canyon about 25 feet across. The floor is
204 109 covered by white mist seeping in from the north. The walls extend
205 109 upward for well over 100 feet. Suspended from some unseen point far
206 109 above you, an enormous two-sided mirror is hanging parallel to and
207 109 midway between the canyon walls. (The mirror is obviously provided
208 109 for the use of the dwarves who, as you know, are extremely vain.) A
209 109 small window can be seen in either wall, some fifty feet up.
210 110 You're at a low window overlooking a huge pit, which extends up out of
211 110 sight. A floor is indistinctly visible over 50 feet below. Traces of
212 110 white mist cover the floor of the pit, becoming thicker to the left.
213 110 Marks in the dust around the window would seem to indicate that
214 110 someone has been here recently. Directly across the pit from you and
215 110 25 feet away there is a similar window looking into a lighted room. A
216 110 shadowy figure can be seen there peering back at you.
217 111 A large stalactite extends from the roof and almost reaches the floor
218 111 below. You could climb down it, and jump from it to the floor, but
219 111 having done so you would be unable to reach it to climb back up.
220 112 You are in a little maze of twisting passages, all different.
221 113 You are at the edge of a large underground reservoir. An opaque cloud
222 113 of white mist fills the room and rises rapidly upward. The lake is
223 113 fed by a stream, which tumbles out of a hole in the wall about 10 feet
224 113 overhead and splashes noisily into the water somewhere within the
225 113 mist. There is a passage going back toward the south.
227 115 You are at the northeast end of an immense room, even larger than the
228 115 Giant Room. It appears to be a repository for the "Adventure"
229 115 program. Massive torches far overhead bathe the room with smoky
230 115 yellow light. Scattered about you can be seen a pile of bottles (all
231 115 of them empty), a nursery of young beanstalks murmuring quietly, a bed
232 115 of oysters, a bundle of black rods with rusty stars on their ends, and
233 115 a collection of brass lanterns. Off to one side a great many dwarves
234 115 are sleeping on the floor, snoring loudly. A notice nearby reads: "Do
235 115 not disturb the dwarves!" An immense mirror is hanging against one
236 115 wall, and stretches to the other end of the room, where various other
237 115 sundry objects can be glimpsed dimly in the distance.
238 116 You are at the southwest end of the repository. To one side is a pit
239 116 full of fierce green snakes. On the other side is a row of small
240 116 wicker cages, each of which contains a little sulking bird. In one
241 116 corner is a bundle of black rods with rusty marks on their ends. A
242 116 large number of velvet pillows are scattered about on the floor. A
243 116 vast mirror stretches off to the northeast. At your feet is a large
244 116 steel grate, next to which is a sign that reads, "Treasure Vault.
245 116 Keys in main office."
246 117 You are on one side of a large, deep chasm. A heavy white mist rising
247 117 up from below obscures all view of the far side. A sw path leads away
248 117 from the chasm into a winding corridor.
249 118 You are in a long winding corridor sloping out of sight in both
251 119 You are in a secret canyon which exits to the north and east.
252 120 You are in a secret canyon which exits to the north and east.
253 121 You are in a secret canyon which exits to the north and east.
254 122 You are on the far side of the chasm. A ne path leads away from the
255 122 chasm on this side.
256 123 You're in a long east/west corridor. A faint rumbling noise can be
257 123 heard in the distance.
258 124 The path forks here. The left fork leads northeast. A dull rumbling
259 124 seems to get louder in that direction. The right fork leads southeast
260 124 down a gentle slope. The main corridor enters from the west.
261 125 The walls are quite warm here. From the north can be heard a steady
262 125 roar, so loud that the entire cave seems to be trembling. Another
263 125 passage leads south, and a low crawl goes east.
264 126 You are on the edge of a breath-taking view. Far below you is an
265 126 active volcano, from which great gouts of molten lava come surging
266 126 out, cascading back down into the depths. The glowing rock fills the
267 126 farthest reaches of the cavern with a blood-red glare, giving every-
268 126 thing an eerie, macabre appearance. The air is filled with flickering
269 126 sparks of ash and a heavy smell of brimstone. The walls are hot to
270 126 the touch, and the thundering of the volcano drowns out all other
271 126 sounds. Embedded in the jagged roof far overhead are myriad twisted
272 126 formations composed of pure white alabaster, which scatter the murky
273 126 light into sinister apparitions upon the walls. To one side is a deep
274 126 gorge, filled with a bizarre chaos of tortured rock which seems to
275 126 have been crafted by the devil himself. An immense river of fire
276 126 crashes out from the depths of the volcano, burns its way through the
277 126 gorge, and plummets into a bottomless pit far off to your left. To
278 126 the right, an immense geyser of blistering steam erupts continuously
279 126 from a barren island in the center of a sulfurous lake, which bubbles
280 126 ominously. The far right wall is aflame with an incandescence of its
281 126 own, which lends an additional infernal splendor to the already
282 126 hellish scene. A dark, foreboding passage exits to the south.
283 127 You are in a small chamber filled with large boulders. The walls are
284 127 very warm, causing the air in the room to be almost stifling from the
285 127 heat. The only exit is a crawl heading west, through which is coming
287 128 You are walking along a gently sloping north/south passage lined with
288 128 oddly shaped limestone formations.
289 129 You are standing at the entrance to a large, barren room. A notice
290 129 above the entrance reads: "Caution! Bear in room!"
291 130 You are inside a barren room. The center of the room is completely
292 130 empty except for some dust. Marks in the dust lead away toward the
293 130 far end of the room. The only exit is the way you came in.
294 131 You are in a maze of twisting little passages, all different.
295 132 You are in a little maze of twisty passages, all different.
296 133 You are in a twisting maze of little passages, all different.

301 138 You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all different.
302 139 You are in a maze of little twisty passages, all different.
304 141 You are in a long, rough-hewn, north/south corridor.
305 142 There is no way to go that direction.
306 143 You are in a large chamber with passages to the west and north.
307 144 You are in the ogre's storeroom. The only exit is to the south.
308 145 You are wandering aimlessly through the forest.

328 165 You are wandering aimlessly through the forest.
329 166 You are wandering aimlessly through the forest.
330 167 You are on a small ledge on one face of a sheer cliff. There are no
331 167 paths away from the ledge. Across the chasm is a small clearing
332 167 surrounded by forest.
333 168 You are walking across the bottom of the reservoir. Walls of water
334 168 rear up on either side. The roar of the water cascading past is
335 168 nearly deafening, and the mist is so thick you can barely see.
336 169 You are at the northern edge of the reservoir. A northwest passage
337 169 leads sharply up from here.
338 170 You are scrambling along a treacherously steep, rocky passage.
339 171 You are on a very steep incline, which widens at it goes upward.
340 172 You are at the base of a nearly vertical cliff. There are some
341 172 slim footholds which would enable you to climb up, but it looks
342 172 extremely dangerous. Here at the base of the cliff lie the remains
343 172 of several earlier adventurers who apparently failed to make it.
344 173 You are climbing along a nearly vertical cliff.
345 174 Just as you reach the top, your foot slips on a loose rock and you
346 174 tumble several hundred feet to join the other unlucky adventurers.
347 175 Just as you reach the top, your foot slips on a loose rock and you
348 175 make one last desperate grab. Your luck holds, as does your grip.
349 175 With an enormous heave, you lift yourself to the ledge above.
350 176 You are on a small ledge at the top of a nearly vertical cliff.
351 176 There is a low crawl leading off to the northeast.
352 177 You have reached a dead end.
353 178 There is now one more gruesome aspect to the spectacular vista.

1418 600 singing about the joys of its forest home.
1419 700 The bird does not seem inclined to sing while in the cage.
1420 800 The bird is singing to you in gratitude for your having returned it to
1421 800 its home. In return, it informs you of a magic word which it thinks
1422 800 you may find useful somewhere near the Hall of Mists. The magic word
1423 800 changes frequently, but for now the bird believes it is "%W". You
1424 800 thank the bird for this information, and it flies off into the forest.
1426 000 The way north is barred by a massive, rusty, iron door.

1450 300 It says the same thing it did before. Hm, maybe it's a pun?
1451 16 "Spelunker Today"
1452 000 There are a few recent issues of "Spelunker Today" magazine here.
1453 100 I'm afraid the magazine is written in dwarvish. But pencilled on one

1493 100 The blood-specked body of a huge green dead dragon lies to one side.
1494 200 The body of a huge green dead dragon is lying off to one side.
1495 300 Congratulations! You have just vanquished a dragon with your bare
1496 300 hands! (Unbelievable, isn't it?)
1497 400 The dragon's ominous hissing does not bode well for you.
1498 500 The dragon is, not surprisingly, silent.
1499 600 The dragon is, not surprisingly, silent.

1532 400 "Drop coins here to receive fresh batteries."

1624 1 Somewhere nearby is Colossal Cave, where others have found fortunes in
1625 1 treasure and gold, though it is rumored that some who enter are never
1626 1 seen again. Magic is said to work in the cave. I will be your eyes
1627 1 and hands. Direct me with commands of 1 or 2 words. I should warn
1628 1 you that I look at only the first five letters of each word, so you'll
1629 1 have to enter "northeast" as "ne" to distinguish it from "north".
1630 1 You can type "help" for some general hints. For information on how
1631 1 to end your adventure, scoring, etc., type "info".

1636 2 A little dwarf with a big knife blocks your way.
1637 3 A little dwarf just walked around a corner, saw you, threw a little
1638 3 axe at you which missed, cursed, and ran away.
1639 4 There are %1 threatening little dwarves in the room with you.
1640 5 There is a threatening little dwarf in the room with you!
1641 6 One sharp nasty knife is thrown at you!
1642 7 A hollow voice says "PLUGH".
1645 10 I am unsure how you are facing. Use compass points or nearby objects.
1646 11 I don't know in from out here. Use compass points or name something
1647 11 in the general direction you want to go.
1648 12 I don't know how to apply that word here.
1649 13 You're quite welcome.
1650 14 I'm game. Would you care to explain how?
1651 15 Sorry, but I am not allowed to give more detail. I will repeat the
1652 15 long description of your location.
1653 16 It is now pitch dark. If you proceed you will likely fall into a pit.
1654 17 If you prefer, simply type w rather than west.
1655 18 Are you trying to catch the bird?
1656 19 Something about you seems to be frightening the bird. Perhaps you
1657 19 might figure out what it is.
1658 20 Are you trying to somehow deal with the snake?
1659 21 You can't kill the snake, or drive it away, or avoid it, or anything
1660 21 like that. There is a way to get by, but you don't have the necessary
1661 21 resources right now.
1662 22 Do you really want to quit now?
1663 23 You fell into a pit and broke every bone in your body!
1664 24 You are already carrying it!
1665 25 You can't be serious!
1666 26 The bird seemed unafraid at first, but as you approach it becomes
1667 26 disturbed and you cannot catch it.
1668 27 You can catch the bird, but you cannot carry it.
1669 28 There is nothing here with a lock!
1670 29 You aren't carrying it!
1671 30 The little bird attacks the green snake, and in an astounding flurry
1672 30 drives the snake away.
1673 31 You have no keys!
1675 33 I don't know how to lock or unlock such a thing.
1676 34 It was already locked.
1677 35 The grate is now locked.
1678 36 The grate is now unlocked.
1679 37 It was already unlocked.
1680 38 The urn is empty and will not light.
1681 39 Your lamp is now on.
1682 40 Your lamp is now off.
1683 41 There is no way to get past the bear to unlock the chain, which is
1684 41 probably just as well.
1687 44 There is nothing here to attack.
1688 45 The little bird is now dead. Its body disappears.
1689 46 Attacking the snake both doesn't work and is very dangerous.
1690 47 You killed a little dwarf.
1691 48 You attack a little dwarf, but he dodges out of the way.
1692 49 With what? Your bare hands?
1693 50 Good try, but that is an old worn-out magic word.
1694 51 I know of places, actions, and things. Most of my vocabulary
1695 51 describes places and is used to move you there. To move, try words
1696 51 like forest, building, downstream, enter, east, west, north, south,
1697 51 up, or down. I know about a few special objects, like a black rod
1698 51 hidden in the cave. These objects can be manipulated using some of
1699 51 the action words that I know. Usually you will need to give both the
1700 51 object and action words (in either order), but sometimes I can infer
1701 51 the object from the verb alone. Some objects also imply verbs; in
1702 51 particular, "inventory" implies "take inventory", which causes me to
1703 51 give you a list of what you're carrying. Some objects have unexpected
1704 51 effects; the effects are not always desirable! Usually people having
1705 51 trouble moving just need to try a few more words. Usually people
1706 51 trying unsuccessfully to manipulate an object are attempting something
1707 51 beyond their (or my!) capabilities and should try a completely
1708 51 different tack. One point often confusing to beginners is that, when
1709 51 there are several ways to go in a certain direction (e.g., if there
1710 51 are several holes in a wall), choosing that direction in effect
1711 51 chooses one of the ways at random; often, though, by specifying the
1712 51 place you want to reach you can guarantee choosing the right path.
1713 51 Also, to speed the game you can sometimes move long distances with a
1714 51 single word. For example, "building" usually gets you to the building
1715 51 from anywhere above ground except when lost in the forest. Also, note
1716 51 that cave passages and forest paths turn a lot, so leaving one place
1717 51 heading north doesn't guarantee entering the next from the south.
1718 51 However (another important point), except when you've used a "long
1719 51 distance" word such as "building", there is always a way to go back
1720 51 where you just came from unless I warn you to the contrary, even
1721 51 though the direction that takes you back might not be the reverse of
1722 51 what got you here. Good luck, and have fun!
1723 52 There is no way to go that direction.
1724 53 Please stick to 1- and 2-word commands.
1726 55 You can't unlock the keys.
1727 56 You have crawled around in some little holes and wound up back in the
1729 57 I don't know where the cave is, but hereabouts no stream can run on
1730 57 the surface for long. I would try the stream.
1731 58 I need more detailed instructions to do that.
1732 59 I can only tell you what you see as you move about and manipulate
1733 59 things. I cannot tell you where remote things are.
1734 60 The ogre snarls and shoves you back.
1736 62 Are you trying to get into the cave?
1737 63 The grate is very solid and has a hardened steel lock. You cannot
1738 63 enter without a key, and there are no keys nearby. I would recommend
1739 63 looking elsewhere for the keys.
1740 64 The trees of the forest are large hardwood oak and maple, with an
1741 64 occasional grove of pine or spruce. There is quite a bit of under-
1742 64 growth, largely birch and ash saplings plus nondescript bushes of
1743 64 various sorts. This time of year visibility is quite restricted by
1744 64 all the leaves, but travel is quite easy if you detour around the
1745 64 spruce and berry bushes.
1746 65 Welcome to Adventure!! Would you like instructions?
1747 66 Digging without a shovel is quite impractical. Even with a shovel
1748 66 progress is unlikely.
1749 67 Blasting requires dynamite.
1750 68 I'm as confused as you are.
1751 69 Mist is a white vapor, usually water, seen from time to time in
1752 69 caverns. It can be found anywhere but is frequently a sign of a deep
1753 69 pit leading down to water.
1754 70 Your feet are now wet.
1755 71 I think I just lost my appetite.
1756 72 Thank you, it was delicious!
1757 73 You have taken a drink from the stream. The water tastes strongly of
1758 73 minerals, but is not unpleasant. It is extremely cold.
1759 74 The bottle of water is now empty.
1760 75 Rubbing the electric lamp is not particularly rewarding. Anyway,
1761 75 nothing exciting happens.
1762 76 Peculiar. Nothing unexpected happens.
1763 77 Your bottle is empty and the ground is wet.
1764 78 You can't pour that.
1767 81 Oh dear, you seem to have gotten yourself killed. I might be able to
1768 81 help you out, but I've never really done this before. Do you want me
1769 81 to try to reincarnate you?
1770 82 All right. But don't blame me if something goes wr......
1772 82 You are engulfed in a cloud of orange smoke. Coughing and gasping,
1773 82 you emerge from the smoke and find....
1774 83 You clumsy oaf, you've done it again! I don't know how long I can
1775 83 keep this up. Do you want me to try reincarnating you again?
1776 84 Okay, now where did I put my orange smoke?.... >POOF!<
1777 84 Everything disappears in a dense cloud of orange smoke.
1778 85 Now you've really done it! I'm out of orange smoke! You don't expect
1779 85 me to do a decent reincarnation without any orange smoke, do you?
1780 86 Okay, if you're so smart, do it yourself! I'm leaving!
1781 90 >>> messages 81 thru 90 are reserved for "obituaries". <<<
1782 91 Sorry, but I no longer seem to remember how it was you got here.
1783 92 You can't carry anything more. You'll have to drop something first.
1784 93 You can't go through a locked steel grate!
1785 94 I believe what you want is right here with you.
1786 95 You don't fit through a two-inch slit!
1787 96 I respectfully suggest you go across the bridge instead of jumping.
1788 97 There is no way across the fissure.
1789 98 You're not carrying anything.
1790 99 You are currently holding the following:
1791 100 It's not hungry (it's merely pinin' for the fjords). Besides, you
1792 100 have no bird seed.
1793 101 The snake has now devoured your bird.
1794 102 There's nothing here it wants to eat (except perhaps you).
1795 103 You fool, dwarves eat only coal! Now you've made him *REALLY* mad!!
1796 104 You have nothing in which to carry it.
1797 105 Your bottle is already full.
1798 106 There is nothing here with which to fill the bottle.
1799 107 Your bottle is now full of water.
1800 108 Your bottle is now full of oil.
1801 109 You can't fill that.
1802 110 Don't be ridiculous!
1803 111 The door is extremely rusty and refuses to open.
1804 112 The plant indignantly shakes the oil off its leaves and asks, "Water?"
1805 113 The hinges are quite thoroughly rusted now and won't budge.
1806 114 The oil has freed up the hinges so that the door will now move,
1807 114 although it requires some effort.
1808 115 The plant has exceptionally deep roots and cannot be pulled free.
1809 116 The dwarves' knives vanish as they strike the walls of the cave.
1810 117 Something you're carrying won't fit through the tunnel with you.
1811 117 You'd best take inventory and drop something.
1812 118 You can't fit this five-foot clam through that little passage!
1813 119 You can't fit this five-foot oyster through that little passage!
1814 120 I advise you to put down the clam before opening it. >STRAIN!<
1815 121 I advise you to put down the oyster before opening it. >WRENCH!<
1816 122 You don't have anything strong enough to open the clam.
1817 123 You don't have anything strong enough to open the oyster.
1818 124 A glistening pearl falls out of the clam and rolls away. Goodness,
1819 124 this must really be an oyster. (I never was very good at identifying
1820 124 bivalves.) Whatever it is, it has now snapped shut again.
1821 125 The oyster creaks open, revealing nothing but oyster inside. It
1822 125 promptly snaps shut again.
1823 126 You have crawled around in some little holes and found your way
1824 126 blocked by a recent cave-in. You are now back in the main passage.
1825 127 There are faint rustling noises from the darkness behind you.
1826 128 Out from the shadows behind you pounces a bearded pirate! "Har, har,"
1827 128 he chortles, "I'll just take all this booty and hide it away with me
1828 128 chest deep in the maze!" He snatches your treasure and vanishes into
1830 129 A sepulchral voice reverberating through the cave, says, "Cave closing
1831 129 soon. All adventurers exit immediately through main office."
1832 130 A mysterious recorded voice groans into life and announces:
1833 130 "This exit is closed. Please leave via main office."
1834 131 It looks as though you're dead. Well, seeing as how it's so close to
1835 131 closing time anyway, I think we'll just call it a day.
1836 132 The sepulchral voice intones, "The cave is now closed." As the echoes
1837 132 fade, there is a blinding flash of light (and a small puff of orange
1838 132 smoke). . . . As your eyes refocus, you look around and find...
1839 133 There is a loud explosion, and a twenty-foot hole appears in the far
1840 133 wall, burying the dwarves in the rubble. You march through the hole
1841 133 and find yourself in the main office, where a cheering band of
1842 133 friendly elves carry the conquering adventurer off into the sunset.
1843 134 There is a loud explosion, and a twenty-foot hole appears in the far
1844 134 wall, burying the snakes in the rubble. A river of molten lava pours
1845 134 in through the hole, destroying everything in its path, including you!
1846 135 There is a loud explosion, and you are suddenly splashed across the
1847 135 walls of the room.
1848 136 The resulting ruckus has awakened the dwarves. There are now several
1849 136 threatening little dwarves in the room with you! Most of them throw
1850 136 knives at you! All of them get you!
1851 137 Oh, leave the poor unhappy bird alone.
1852 138 I daresay whatever you want is around here somewhere.
1853 139 I don't know the word "stop". Use "quit" if you want to give up.
1854 140 You can't get there from here.
1855 141 You are being followed by a very large, tame bear.
1856 142 For a summary of the most recent changes to the game, say "news".
1857 142 If you want to end your adventure early, say "quit". To suspend your
1858 142 adventure such that you can continue later, say "suspend" (or "pause"
1859 142 or "save"). To see how well you're doing, say "score". To get full
1860 142 credit for a treasure, you must have left it safely in the building,
1861 142 though you get partial credit just for locating it. You lose points
1862 142 for getting killed, or for quitting, though the former costs you more.
1863 142 There are also points based on how much (if any) of the cave you've
1864 142 managed to explore; in particular, there is a large bonus just for
1865 142 getting in (to distinguish the beginners from the rest of the pack),
1866 142 and there are other ways to determine whether you've been through some
1867 142 of the more harrowing sections. If you think you've found all the
1868 142 treasures, just keep exploring for a while. If nothing interesting
1869 142 happens, you haven't found them all yet. If something interesting
1870 142 *DOES* happen (incidentally, there *ARE* ways to hasten things along),
1871 142 it means you're getting a bonus and have an opportunity to garner many
1872 142 more points in the Master's section. I may occasionally offer hints
1873 142 if you seem to be having trouble. If I do, I'll warn you in advance
1874 142 how much it will affect your score to accept the hints. Finally, to
1875 142 save time, you may specify "brief", which tells me never to repeat the
1876 142 full description of a place unless you explicitly ask me to.
1877 143 Now let's see you do it without suspending in mid-Adventure.
1878 144 There is nothing here with which to fill it.
1879 145 The sudden change in temperature has delicately shattered the vase.
1880 146 It is beyond your power to do that.
1881 147 I don't know how.
1882 148 It is too far up for you to reach.
1883 149 You killed a little dwarf. The body vanishes in a cloud of greasy
1885 150 The shell is very strong and is impervious to attack.
1886 151 What's the matter, can't you read? Now you'd best start over.
1887 152 The axe bounces harmlessly off the dragon's thick scales.
1888 153 The dragon looks rather nasty. You'd best not try to get by.
1889 154 The little bird attacks the green dragon, and in an astounding flurry
1890 154 gets burnt to a cinder. The ashes blow away.
1892 156 Okay, from now on I'll only describe a place in full the first time
1893 156 you come to it. To get the full description, say "look".
1894 157 Trolls are close relatives with the rocks and have skin as tough as
1895 157 that of a rhinoceros. The troll fends off your blows effortlessly.
1896 158 The troll deftly catches the axe, examines it carefully, and tosses it
1897 158 back, declaring, "Good workmanship, but it's not valuable enough."
1898 159 The troll catches your treasure and scurries away out of sight.
1899 160 The troll refuses to let you cross.
1900 161 There is no longer any way across the chasm.
1901 162 Just as you reach the other side, the bridge buckles beneath the
1902 162 weight of the bear, which was still following you around. You
1903 162 scrabble desperately for support, but as the bridge collapses you
1904 162 stumble back and fall into the chasm.
1905 163 The bear lumbers toward the troll, who lets out a startled shriek and
1906 163 scurries away. The bear soon gives up the pursuit and wanders back.
1907 164 The axe misses and lands near the bear where you can't get at it.
1908 165 With what? Your bare hands? Against *HIS* bear hands??
1909 166 The bear is confused; he only wants to be your friend.
1910 167 For crying out loud, the poor thing is already dead!
1911 168 The bear eagerly wolfs down your food, after which he seems to calm
1912 168 down considerably and even becomes rather friendly.
1913 169 The bear is still chained to the wall.
1914 170 The chain is still locked.
1915 171 The chain is now unlocked.
1916 172 The chain is now locked.
1917 173 There is nothing here to which the chain can be locked.
1918 174 There is nothing here to eat.
1919 175 Do you want the hint?
1920 176 Do you need help getting out of the maze?
1921 177 You can make the passages look less alike by dropping things.
1922 178 Are you trying to explore beyond the plover room?
1923 179 There is a way to explore that region without having to worry about
1924 179 falling into a pit. None of the objects available is immediately
1925 179 useful in discovering the secret.
1926 180 Do you need help getting out of here?
1928 182 Gluttony is not one of the troll's vices. Avarice, however, is.
1929 183 Your lamp is getting dim. You'd best start wrapping this up, unless
1930 183 you can find some fresh batteries. I seem to recall there's a vending
1931 183 machine in the maze. Bring some coins with you.
1932 184 Your lamp has run out of power.
1933 185 Please answer the question.
1934 186 There are faint rustling noises from the darkness behind you. As you
1935 186 turn toward them, the beam of your lamp falls across a bearded pirate.
1936 186 He is carrying a large chest. "Shiver me timbers!" he cries, "I've
1937 186 been spotted! I'd best hie meself off to the maze to hide me chest!"
1938 186 With that, he vanishes into the gloom.
1939 187 Your lamp is getting dim. You'd best go back for those batteries.
1940 188 Your lamp is getting dim. I'm taking the liberty of replacing the
1942 189 Your lamp is getting dim, and you're out of spare batteries. You'd
1943 189 best start wrapping this up.
1944 190 You sift your fingers through the dust, but succeed only in
1945 190 obliterating the cryptic message.
1946 191 Do you need help dealing with the ogre?
1947 192 Hmmm, this looks like a clue, which means it'll cost you 10 points to
1948 192 read it. Should I go ahead and read it anyway?
1949 193 It says, "There is a way out of this place. Do you need any more
1950 193 information to escape? Sorry, but this initial hint is all you get."
1951 194 There is nothing the presence of which will prevent you from defeating
1952 194 him; thus it can't hurt to fetch everything you possibly can.
1953 195 I'm afraid I don't understand.
1954 196 Your hand passes through it as though it weren't there.
1955 197 You strike the mirror a resounding blow, whereupon it shatters into a
1956 197 myriad tiny fragments.
1957 198 You have taken the vase and hurled it delicately to the ground.
1958 199 You prod the nearest dwarf, who wakes up grumpily, takes one look at
1959 199 you, curses, and grabs for his axe.
1960 200 Is this acceptable?
1961 201 This adventure is already over. To start a new adventure, or to
1962 201 resume an earlier adventure, please run a fresh copy of the program.
1963 202 The ogre doesn't appear to be hungry.
1964 203 The ogre, who despite his bulk is quite agile, easily dodges your
1965 203 attack. He seems almost amused by your puny effort.
1966 204 The ogre, distracted by your rush, is struck by the knife. With a
1967 204 blood-curdling yell he turns and bounds after the dwarves, who flee
1968 204 in panic. You are left alone in the room.
1969 205 The ogre, distracted by your rush, is struck by the knife. With a
1970 205 blood-curdling yell he turns and bounds after the dwarf, who flees
1971 205 in panic. You are left alone in the room.
1972 206 The bird flies about agitatedly for a moment.
1973 207 The bird flies agitatedly about the cage.
1974 208 The bird flies about agitatedly for a moment, then disappears through
1975 208 the crack. It reappears shortly, carrying in its beak a jade
1976 208 necklace, which it drops at your feet.
1977 209 The urn is now lit.
1978 210 The urn is now dark.
1979 211 You empty the bottle into the urn, which promptly ejects the water
1980 211 with uncanny accuracy, squirting you directly between the eyes.
1981 212 Your bottle is now empty and the urn is full of oil.
1982 213 The urn is already full of oil.
1983 214 There's no way to get the oil out of the urn.
1984 215 The urn is far too firmly embedded for your puny strength to budge it.
1985 216 As you rub the urn, there is a flash of light and a genie appears.
1986 216 His aspect is stern as he advises: "One who wouldst traffic in
1987 216 precious stones must first learn to recognize the signals thereof."
1988 216 He wrests the urn from the stone, leaving a small cavity. Turning to
1989 216 face you again, he fixes you with a steely eye and intones: "Caution!"
1990 216 Genie and urn vanish in a cloud of amber smoke. The smoke condenses
1991 216 to form a rare amber gemstone, resting in the cavity in the rock.
1992 217 I suppose you collect doughnut holes, too?
1993 218 The gem fits easily into the cavity.
1994 219 The persian rug stiffens and rises a foot or so off the ground.
1995 220 The persian rug draped over your shoulder seems to wriggle for a
1996 220 moment, but then subsides.
1997 221 The persian rug settles gently to the ground.
1998 222 The rug hovers stubbornly where it is.
1999 223 The rug does not appear inclined to cooperate.
2000 224 If you mean to use the persian rug, it does not appear inclined to
2002 225 Though you flap your arms furiously, it is to no avail.
2003 226 You board the persian rug, which promptly whisks you across the chasm.
2004 226 You have time for a fleeting glimpse of a two thousand foot drop to a
2005 226 mighty river; then you find yourself on the other side.
2006 227 The rug ferries you back across the chasm.
2008 229 The stream is gurgling placidly.
2009 230 The wind whistles coldly past your ears.
2010 231 The stream splashes loudly into the pool.
2011 232 You are unable to make anything of the splashing noise.
2012 233 You can hear the murmuring of the beanstalks and the snoring of the
2014 234 A loud hissing emanates from the snake pit.
2015 235 The air is filled with a dull rumbling sound.
2016 236 The roar is quite loud here.
2017 237 The roaring is so loud that it drowns out all other sound.
2018 238 The bird eyes you suspiciously and flutters away. A moment later you
2019 238 feel something wet land on your head, but upon looking up you can see
2020 238 no sign of the culprit.
2021 239 There are only a few drops--not enough to carry.
2022 240 Your head buzzes strangely for a moment.
2023 241 (Uh, y'know, that wasn't very bright.)
2024 242 It's a pity you took so long about it.
2025 243 Are you wondering what to do here?
2026 244 This section is quite advanced. Find the cave first.
2027 245 Upstream or downstream?
2028 246 Wizards are not to be disturbed by such as you.
2029 247 Would you like to be shown out of the forest?
2030 248 Go east ten times. If that doesn't get you out, then go south, then
2031 248 west twice, then south.
2032 249 The waters are crashing loudly against the shore.
2033 250 %1 of them throw knives at you!
2034 251 %1 of them get you!
2035 252 One of them gets you!
2036 253 None of them hits you!
2037 254 Sorry, I don't know the word "%W".
2038 255 What do you want to do with the %L?
2039 256 I see no %L here.
2042 259 You have garnered %3 out of a possible %3 points, using %5 turn%S.
2043 260 I can suspend your Adventure for you so that you can resume later, but
2044 260 it will cost you 5 points.
2045 261 I am prepared to give you a hint, but it will cost you %1 point%S.
2046 262 You scored %3 out of a possible %3, using%5 turn%S.
2047 263 To achieve the next higher rating, you need %2 more point%S.
2048 264 To achieve the next higher rating would be a neat trick!
2049 264 Congratulations!!
2050 265 You just went off my scale!!
2051 266 To resume your Adventure, start a new game and then say "RESUME".
2052 267 Table space used:
2053 267 %6 of %6 words of messages %6 of %6 travel options

2057 267 %6 of %6 hints %6 of %6 turn threshholds
2058 268 To resume an earlier Adventure, you must abandon the current one.
2059 269 I'm sorry, but that Adventure was begun using Version%2.%1 of the
2060 269 program, and this is Version%2.%1. You must find the other version
2061 269 in order to resume that Adventure.
2062 270 A dark fog creeps in to surround you. From somewhere in the fog you
2063 270 hear a stern voice. "This Adventure has been tampered with! You have
2064 270 been dabbling in magic, knowing not the havoc you might cause thereby.
2065 270 Leave at once, before you do irrevocable harm!" The fog thickens,
2066 270 until at last you can see nothing at all. Your vision then clears,
2067 270 and you find yourself back in The Real World.
2069 272 You're missing only one other treasure. Do you need help finding it?
2070 273 Once you've found all the other treasures, it is no longer possible to
2071 273 locate the one you're now missing.
2072 274 Sorry, but the path twisted and turned so much that I can't figure
2073 274 out which way to go to get back.
2074 275 Version 2.5 is essentially the same as Version II; the cave and the
2075 275 hazards therein are unchanged, and top score is still 430 points.
2076 275 There are a few more hints, especially for some of the more obscure
2077 275 puzzles. There are a few minor bugfixes and cosmetic changes. You
2078 275 can now save a game and resume it at once (formerly you had to wait a
2079 275 while first), but it now costs you a few points each time you save the
2080 275 game. Saved games are now stored in much smaller files than before.
2081 276 You don't have to say "go" every time; just specify a direction or, if
2082 276 it's nearby, name the place to which you wish to move.

2222 45 You are obviously a rank amateur. Better luck next time.
2223 120 Your score qualifies you as a novice class adventurer.
2224 170 You have achieved the rating: "Experienced Adventurer".
2225 250 You may now consider yourself a "Seasoned Adventurer".
2226 320 You have reached "Junior Master" status.

2228 410 Your score puts you in Master Adventurer Class B.
2229 426 Your score puts you in Master Adventurer Class A.
2230 429 All of Adventuredom gives tribute to you, Adventurer Grandmaster!
2231 9999 Adventuredom stands in awe -- you have now joined the ranks of the
2232 9999 W O R L D C H A M P I O N A D V E N T U R E R S !
2233 9999 It may interest you to know that the Dungeon-Master himself has, to
2234 9999 my knowledge, never achieved this threshhold in fewer than 330 turns.
2287 200350 Tsk! A wizard wouldn't have to take 350 turns. This is going to cost
2288 200350 you a couple of points.
2289 300500 500 turns? That's another few points you've lost.
2290 501000 Are you still at it? Five points off for exceeding 1000 turns!
2291 1002500 Good grief, don't you *EVER* give up? Do you realize you've spent
2292 1002500 over 2500 turns at this? That's another ten points off, a total of
2293 1002500 twenty points lost for taking so long.
