Sample Transript from The Magnetic Scrolls Collection 1. Typed in by Edan Harel (edharel@eden.rutgers.edu) Comments are in []'s [Pictures include: map window, inventory window, hint window and session window, which refers to the game as Gargoyle] Spitting-out Room In this bare stone room, an exit high in the wall leads west, and another door leads east. From the east you can hear terrible groans and cries. >E Gargle Room You are in the Gargle Room. The Great Gargoyle himself is pacing the floor, moaning `Gargle, Gargle! What use is a Gargoyle without gargle?' An ignoble basin stands in the corner; a shelf holds a bottle, a glass a toothbrush and a piece of paper. >GET BOTTLE. EXAMINE IT You have now got the bottle. It is closed. >OPEN IT The bottle is full of absolutely nothing. >INVENTORY You are cartying a packet, a red tablet, a lantern, a burning bush, three blind mice, and a Rock of Ages. You are wearing a frilly neglige. >READ PACKET The Packet says `Dehydrated Water. Add nothing and shake well.' >ASK GARGOYLE ABOUT GARGLE The Gargoyle says, `It's a nightmare, I tell you! no water, no gargle, how can I do my work?' >EXAMINE GARGOYLE It's quite the ugliest thing you ever saw, dressed in a sacking robe tied at the waist with yards of wet hemp rope. >GET THE GLASS You have now the glass. >EMPTY PACKET INTO GLASS You put the contents of your packet in the glass. >LOOK IN THE GLASS What's there to see about a glassful of dehydrated water? The Gargoyle looks at you curiously. >EMPTY THE BOTTLE INTO THE GLASS `What use is a glass of water to me?' >LOOK AT FOIL PACKET It says `compliments of C A Vittie DDS.' >OPEN IT Opening the packet reveals a pink pill. >PUT THE PINK PILL INTO THE GLASS The Pink pill falls, hissing and foaming, to the bottom of the glass. As it effervesces merrily, the familiar aroma is enough to make your teeth ache. >GIVE THE GLASS TO THE GARGOYLE `Gargle! Gargle!' says the Gargoyle. `How can I thank you!' He Gargles noisily and with repulsive brute satisfaction, tears off his sacking robe and rushes out of the room. >FOLLOW THE GARGOYLE Spitting-out Room You can see the Gargoyle here - or rather his hindquarters. His head is poking out of the high western aperture and it sounds as if he is doing what Gargoyles do. (when they are behaving as nature intended.) [Note, this did not appear in the transcript, but did appear in a picture of a session window of part of the transcript] >LISTEN The air around you resonates in sympathy with the Gargoyle's violent epiglotid action. >E Gargyle Room There is a sacking robe and a length of wet hemp rope here. >GET THE ROPE You have now got the rope. >W Spitting-out Room You can see the hindquaters of a gurgling Gargoyle here. >TIE ROPE TO GARGOYLE The Gargoyle doesn't notice you tying one end of the rope to his rump. >CLIMB GARGOYLE You are now on the Gargoyle's sholder. Beyond his head you can see a sheer drop to the west. >CLIMB DOWN ROPE ...and so you make good your escape
