The top of a 12-foot-tall beanstalk is poking out of the west pit. > w You're in Slab Room. > u You are in a secret n/s canyon above a large room. > reservoir You are at the edge of a large underground reservoir. An opaque cloud of white mist fills the room and rises rapidly upward. The lake is fed by a stream, which tumbles out of a hole in the wall about 10 feet overhead and splashes noisily into the water somewhere within the mist. There is a passage going back toward the south. > F'JBV The waters have parted to form a narrow path across the reservoir. > n You are walking across the bottom of the reservoir. Walls of water rear up on either side. The roar of the water cascading past is nearly deafening, and the mist is so thick you can barely see. > n You are at the northern edge of the reservoir. A northwest passage leads sharply up from here. The waters have parted to form a narrow path across the reservoir. > nw You are scrambling along a treacherously steep, rocky passage. > u You are on a very steep incline, which widens at it goes upward. > u You are at the base of a nearly vertical cliff.

Here at the base of the cliff lie the remains of several earlier adventurers who apparently failed to make it. > u You are climbing along a nearly vertical cliff. > u Just as you reach the top, your foot slips on a loose rock and you make one last desperate grab. Your luck holds, as does your grip. With an enormous heave, you lift yourself to the ledge above. You are on a small ledge at the top of a nearly vertical cliff. There is a low crawl leading off to the northeast. > ne You have reached a dead end.

The floor is covered by white mist seeping in from the north. The walls extend upward for well over 100 feet. Suspended from some unseen point far above you, an enormous two-sided mirror is hanging parallel to and midway between the canyon walls. (The mirror is obviously provided for the use of the dwarves who, as you know, are extremely vain.) A small window can be seen in either wall, some fifty feet up. > s There is a threatening little dwarf in the room with you! You are in a secret n/s canyon above a large room. > d There is a threatening little dwarf in the room with you! You're in Slab Room. > s There is a threatening little dwarf in the room with you!

There is a huge beanstalk growing out of the west pit up to the hole. > e You are at the east end of the Twopit Room. The floor here is littered with thin rock slabs, which make it easy to descend the pits. There is a path here bypassing the pits to connect passages from east and west. There are holes all over, but the only big one is on the wall directly over the west pit where you can't get to it. There is a huge beanstalk growing out of the west pit up to the hole. > d You are at the bottom of the eastern pit in the Twopit Room.

There is a gigantic beanstalk stretching all the way up to the hole. > climb You clamber up the plant and scurry through the hole at the top. You are in a long, narrow corridor stretching out of sight to the west. At the eastern end is a hole through which you can see a profusion of leaves. > w You are in the Giant Room. The ceiling here is too high up for your lamp to show it. Cavernous passages lead east, north, and south. On the west wall is scrawled the inscription, "FEE FIE FOE FOO" [sic]. There is a large nest here, full of golden eggs! > n You are at one end of an immense north/south passage. The way north is barred by a massive, rusty, iron door. > oil door The oil has freed up the hinges so that the door will now move, although it requires some effort. > n You are in a magnificent cavern with a rushing stream, which cascades over a sparkling waterfall into a roaring whirlpool which disappears through a hole in the floor. Passages exit to the south and west. There is a jewel-encrusted trident here! > take trident OK > w You are at the top of a steep incline above a large room. You could climb down here, but you would not be able to climb up. There is a passage leading back to the north. > d You are in a large low room. Crawls lead north, se, and sw. > se This is the Oriental Room. Ancient oriental cave drawings cover the walls. A gently sloping passage leads upward to the north, another passage leads se, and a hands and knees crawl leads west. There is a delicate, precious, ming vase here! > n You are following a wide path around the outer edge of a large cavern. Far below, through a heavy white mist, strange splashing noises can be heard. The mist rises up through a fissure in the ceiling. The path exits to the south and west. > w You are in an alcove. A small nw path seems to widen after a short distance.

"Har, har," he chortles, "I'll just take all this booty and hide it away with me chest deep in the maze!" He snatches your treasure and vanishes into the gloom. You're in misty cavern. > look Sorry, but I am not allowed to give more detail. I will repeat the long description of your location. You are following a wide path around the outer edge of a large cavern. Far below, through a heavy white mist, strange splashing noises can be heard. The mist rises up through a fissure in the ceiling. The path exits to the south and west. > listen You are unable to make anything of the splashing noise. > w You're in alcove.

A shallow passage proceeds downward, and a somewhat steeper one leads up. A low hands and knees passage enters from the south. There is an enormous clam here with its shell tightly closed. > open clam A glistening pearl falls out of the clam and rolls away. Goodness, this must really be an oyster.
