What Time Remembered (formerly Generic Text Adventure)

[itisally]

go to where the trap door should be and say, "Xyzzy"

"Anything eles before I go?"

[raekuul]

With a rumble, the trapdoor opens. You feel an ominous rush of energy as the trapdoor fully opens.

Pluto and Setsuna just shrug. "Nothing that we can think of."

[itisally]

Look down the hole. If it is clear drop down to the next room.

[raekuul]

You prepare to drop down a flight of stairs.

[itisally*]

Head down the stairs.

[raekuul]

You descend the stairs. The trapdoor closes behind you. You hear an ethereal hum.

There are archways to the left and to the right.

[itisally]

go left.

[raekuul]

You go left. You hear an ethereal hum.

There are passages to the left, to the right, ahead, and behind.

[itisally*]

Turn left.

[raekuul]

You turn left. You hear an ethereal hum.

There are passages to the right, ahead, and behind.

[itisally]

move ahead

*sigh* look in the history of five kingdoms for a map, if not there the tauropedia. I must learn to work smarter not harder.

[raekuul]

You move ahead. There are archways to the left, to the right, and behind.

You find a map-like page in the Tauropedia, labeled "Maze of Winds". It is a seven-by-seven grid of squares.

[itisally]

go left

There is a pillar of green stone here.

There are passageways to the left, ahead, and behind.

[itisally]

Investigate the green pillar

[raekuul]

It is a green pillar that stretches from floor to ceiling. You don't see much else of interest here.

[itisally]

move ahead

[raekuul]

You move forward.

There are passageways to the left and behind you. On the wall ahead of you is a strange button.

[itisally*]

OOO!!

hit the button!

-- ok, yeah, its an impulse control problem.--

[raekuul]

You push the button. Nothing appears to happen.

[itisally]

Well that was anti-clamatic.
I have a feeling I will regret it later.

Go left.

[itisally]

I tried drawing a map based on my movements and the Tauropedia and they don't seem to match. mmmmm. Is there a compus rose on the map in the book.

[raekuul]

I'm giving relative directions, and if you check the Tauropedia again you'll be in for a surprise.

[itisally*]

Well, while I am looking to see if the map in the Tauropidia has a compass rose I will reevaluate its contents.

[raekuul]

You review the map.

[itisally]

Hmmm... go ahead

[raekuul]

This chamber has what appears to be a patch of wall that doesn't match the rest of the wall. Looking around, you notice that there are walls in all four directions.

This chamber feels familiar.

[itisally*]

Check the map

[raekuul]

[itisally]

Check the discolored bit of wall.

[raekuul]

You inspect the mismatched bit of wall. Visually, it appears to be replacement wall - the stone appears less worn than the surrounding wall. The wall is warm to the touch. You hear an ethereal hum. You think you hear whispers. The wall smells like a wall.

[itisally*]

listen against the wall, can I make out the wispers?
If I fashion a cone out of one of the scrolls would I be able to hear better? Is the hum from behind the wall?

[raekuul]

You press your ear against the wall. You can make out some of the whispers.

"You go clockwise, I'll go counterclockwise. Gemini, you two make for the downward stair. The rest of you stay here."

The ethereal hum just comes from everywhere. You can't pinpoint it.

[itisally]

check the wall that should lead back to where I came from.


Sorry my responses have been slow. I am knee deep in my research question.

[raekuul]

You try to press your hand against the wall behind you. Your hand reports that there is nothing there except air.

[itisally*]

Test the density of the other "normal" colored walls

[raekuul]

The other walls are just as real as the one you tested originally.

You hear footsteps.

[itisally*]

Can I tell where the footsteps are coming from?
