There is a bottle of water here. > take keys OK > take lamp OK > out You're in front of building. > s You are in a valley in the forest beside a stream tumbling along a rocky bed. > s At your feet all the water of the stream splashes into a 2-inch slit in the rock. Downstream the streambed is bare rock. > s You are in a 20-foot depression floored with bare dirt. Set into the dirt is a strong steel grate mounted in concrete. A dry streambed leads into the depression. The grate is locked. > open grate The grate is now unlocked. > d You are in a small chamber beneath a 3x3 steel grate to the surface. A low crawl over cobbles leads inward to the west. The grate is open. > u You're outside grate. The grate is open. > d You're below the grate. The grate is open. > w You are crawling over cobbles in a low passage. There is a dim light at the east end of the passage. There is a small wicker cage discarded nearby. > w It is now pitch dark. If you proceed you will likely fall into a pit. > light lamp Your lamp is now on. You are in a debris room filled with stuff washed in from the surface. A low wide passage with cobbles becomes plugged with mud and debris here, but an awkward canyon leads upward and west. In the mud someone has scrawled, "MAGIC WORD XYZZY". A three foot black rod with a rusty star on an end lies nearby. > w You are in an awkward sloping east/west canyon. > w You are in a splendid chamber thirty feet high. The walls are frozen rivers of orange stone. An awkward canyon and a good passage exit from east and west sides of the chamber. A cheerful little bird is sitting here singing. > w At your feet is a small pit breathing traces of white mist. An east passage ends here except for a small crack leading on. Rough stone steps lead down the pit. > crack The crack is far too small for you to follow. At its widest it is barely wide enough to admit your foot. You're at top of small pit. Rough stone steps lead down the pit. > down You are at one end of a vast hall stretching forward out of sight to the west. There are openings to either side. Nearby, a wide stone staircase leads downward. The hall is filled with wisps of white mist swaying to and fro almost as if alive. A cold wind blows up the staircase. There is a passage at the top of a dome behind you. Rough stone steps lead up the dome. > w You are on the east bank of a fissure slicing clear across the hall. The mist is quite thick here, and the fissure is too wide to jump. > jump You didn't make it. Oh dear, you seem to have gotten yourself killed. I might be able to help you out, but I've never really done this before. Do you want me to try to reincarnate you? > n OK You scored 51 out of a possible 430, using 21 turns.
