+Welcome to Dungeon!\r
+\r
+ You are near a large dungeon, which is reputed to contain vast\r
+quantities of treasure. Naturally, you wish to acquire some of it.\r
+In order to do so, you must of course remove it from the dungeon; to\r
+receive full credit for it, you must deposit it safely in the trophy\r
+case in the living room. \r
+ \r
+ In addition to valuables, the dungeon contains various objects\r
+which may or may not be useful in your attempt to get rich; you may\r
+need sources of light, since dungeons are often dark, and weapons,\r
+since dungeons often have unfriendly things wandering about. Reading\r
+material is scattered around the dungeon as well; some of it is \r
+rumoured to be useful.\r
+\r
+ To determine how successful you have been, there is a score kept.\r
+When you find a valuable object (i.e., pick it up), you receive a\r
+certain number of points, which depends on the difficulty of finding\r
+it. You receive extra points for transporting the treasure safely to\r
+the living room, and placing it in the trophy case. In addition,\r
+some particularly interesting rooms have a value associated with\r
+your entering them. The only penalty is for getting yourself killed,\r
+which you may do only twice.\r
+\r
+ Of special note is a thief (always carrying a large bag) who\r
+likes to wander around in the dungeon (he has never been seen by the\r
+light of day). He likes to take things; since he steals for pleasure\r
+rather than profit, and is sadistic, he only takes things which you\r
+have seen. Although he prefers valuables, sometimes in his haste he\r
+may take something which is worthless; from time to time, he examines\r
+his take and discards objects which he doesn't like. He may\r
+occasionally stop in a room you are visiting, but more often he just\r
+wanders through and rips you off (he is a skilled pickpocket).\r
+\r
+ Have Fun!
