Welcome to Adventure!! Would you like instructions? ** You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully. * You are inside a building, a well house for a large spring. There are some keys on the ground here. There is a shiny brass lamp nearby. There is food here. There is a bottle of water here. * OK. * It is now pitch dark. If you proceed you will most likely fall into a pit. * 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. * OK. * It is now pitch dark. If you proceed you will most likely fall into a pit. * OK. * Your lamp is now on. You are in a debris room filled with stuff washed in from the surface.

A note on the wall says "MAGIC WORD XYZZY". * You are in an awkward sloping east/west canyon. * 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. * OK. * OK. * OK. * 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. * 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. * This is a low room with a crude note on the wall. The note says, "You won't get it up the steps". There is a large sparkling nugget of gold here! * OK. * You're in Hall of Mists. * You are on the east bank of a fissure slicing clear across the hall.

A small velvet pillow lies on the floor. * OK. * You're in Swiss cheese room. * 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. * You are at the west end of the Twopit Room. There is a large hole in the wall above the pit at this end of the room. * You are at the bottom of the western pit in the Twopit Room. There is a large hole in the wall about 25 feet above you.

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. * 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. The only passage goes back toward the south. * Your bottle is now full of water. * You're in mirror canyon. * You are in a secret N/S canyon above a large room. * You're in Slab Room. * You're at west end of Twopit Room.

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. * 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! * OK. * You are at one end of an immense north/south passage. The way north is barred by a massive, rusty, iron door. * The oil has freed up the hinges so that the door will now open. * OK. * You are in a magnificent cavern with a rushing stream, which cascades over a sparkling waterfall into a roaring whirlpool that disappears through a hole in the floor.

Crawls lead north, SE, and SW. * Out from the shadows behind you pounces a bearded pirate! "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. 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. * 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. * You are in an alcove.

There is a golden chain lying in a heap on the floor! * If you were to quit now, you would score 276 out of a possible 350. Do you indeed wish to quit now? ** OK. * It is now pitch dark. If you proceed you will most likely fall into a pit. * Your lamp is now on. You're at "Y2". * You're at a low window overlooking a huge pit, which extends up out of sight. A floor is indistinctly visible over 50 feet below. Traces of white mist cover the floor of the pit, becoming thicker to the right. Marks in the dust around the window would seem to indicate that someone has been here recently. Directly across the pit from you and 25 feet away there is a similar window looking into a lighted room. A shadowy figure can be seen there peering back at you. The shadowy figure seems to be trying to attract your attention. * You're at "Y2". * You're in N/S passage. * There is no way to go in that direction.

You're at junction of three secret canyons. * You are in a secret N/S canyon above a sizable passage. * A large stalactite extends from the roof and almost reaches the floor below. You could climb down it, and jump from it to the floor, but having done so you would be unable to reach it to climb back up. * You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. * You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. * You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. * You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. * You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. * You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. * You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. * You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. * There is no way to go in that direction.

As the echoes fade, there is a blinding flash of light (and a small puff of orange smoke). . . . Then your eyes refocus; you look around and find... You are at the northeast end of an immense room, even larger than the Giant Room. It appears to be a repository for the "Adventure" program. Massive torches far overhead bathe the room with smoky yellow light. Scattered about you can be seen a pile of bottles (all of them empty), a nursery of young beanstalks murmuring quietly, a bed of oysters, a bundle of black rods with rusty stars on their ends, and a collection of brass lanterns. Off to one side a great many dwarves are sleeping on the floor, snoring loudly. A sign nearby reads: "DO NOT DISTURB THE DWARVES!" An immense mirror is hanging against one wall, and stretches to the other end of the room, where various other sundry objects can be glimpsed dimly in the distance. * If you were to quit now, you would score 311 out of a possible 350. Do you indeed wish to quit now? ** OK. * You are at the southwest end of the repository. To one side is a pit full of fierce green snakes. On the other side is a row of small wicker cages, each of which contains a little sulking bird. In one corner is a bundle of black rods with rusty marks on their ends. A large number of velvet pillows are scattered about on the floor. A vast mirror stretches off to the northeast. At your feet is a large steel grate, next to which is a sign that reads, "TREASURE VAULT. KEYS IN MAIN OFFICE." The grate is locked. * OK. * You're at NE end. * OK. * You're at SW end. The grate is locked. * There is a loud explosion, and a twenty-foot hole appears in the far wall, burying the dwarves in the rubble. You march through the hole and find yourself in the main office, where a cheering band of friendly elves carry the conquering adventurer off into the sunset. You scored 350 points out of a possible 350, using 356 turns. All of Adventuredom gives tribute to you, Adventure Grandmaster! To achieve the next higher rating would be a neat trick! Congratulations!!
