>n
In Forest

   You are in open forest, with a deep valley to one side.  Not far is a large
billboard.

*** This will be a deterministic game.  ***

>read billboard
The billboard reads:  "Visit Beautiful Colossal Cave.  Open Year Around.  Fun
for the entire family, or at least for those who survive."  Below the headline
is an impossibly complicated map showing how to find Colossal Cave.  Not that
it matters, because all the directions are written in Elvish.  However, one
illustration catches your attention.  It seems to show a group of elves
involved in a strong-man competition.  For some reason, they appear to be
gorging themselves on blueberries!

You notice a blueberry bush nearby.

>eat blueberries
You take a few of the blueberries, and can't resist eating them ...
MMMM!  They're delicious, and now you somehow feel a little stronger than you
did before.

>g

In Hall of Mists

   You are at one end of a vast hall stretching forward out of sight to the
west, filled with wisps of white mist that sway to and fro almost as if alive. 
There is a passage at the top of a dome above you.  A wide staircase runs
downward into the darkness; a chill wind blows up from below.  There are small
passages to the north and south, and a small crack leads east.

   Rough stone steps lead up the dome.

At Window on Pit

   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.

On Sandy Beach

   You're on a sandy beach at the edge of the open sea.  The beach ends a short
distance south and the land rises to a point.  To the north, the beach ends in
cliffs and broken rocks.

>n
At Broken Rocks

   You are at a jumble of large broken rocks.  A gentle path leads up to the
top of the nearby cliffs.  A narrow treacherous path disappears among the rocks
at the foot of the cliff.

>u
At Ocean Vista

   You are on a high cliff overlooking the sea.  Far below the rolling breakers
smash into a jumble of large broken rocks.  The thunder of the surf is
deafening.

At Broken Rocks

>d
At Thunder Hole

   You are at Thunder Hole, a funnel shaped cavern opening onto the sea.  The
noise of the surf pounding against the outer rocks of the cave is amplified by
the peculiar shape of the cave, causing a thunder-like booming sound to
reverberate throughout the cave.  Outside, a narrow path leads south towards
some large rocks.  The cavern leads in to the east.

>e
At Approach to River Styx

   You are in a dimly lit E/W passage behind Thunder Hole.  Etched into the
rock wall are the ominous words:
*   "You are approaching the River Styx.     *
*   Lasciate Ogni Speranza Voi Ch'Entrate."  *

   A hideous black dog bares his teeth and growls at your approach.

>play lyre
The air fills with beautiful music.  The dog gradually becomes less fierce, and
after a short while he lies down by the side of the cavern and falls into a
deep sleep.

>e
At River Styx

   You are at the River Styx, a narrow little stream cutting directly across
the passageway.  The edge of the stream is littered with sticks and other
debris washed in by a recent rainfall.  On the far side of the river, the
passage continues east.

>jump
On East Side of River Styx

   You're on the east side of the river's sticks.

>e
At Top of steps (back of Thunder Hole)

   You are at the top of some arched steps.  On the east side there is a blank
wall with a tiny door at the base and a shelf overhead.  On the other side a
westward passage leads to the sea.

   The door is closed and locked.

>eat mushrooms
You are growing taller, expanding like a telescope!  Just before your head
strikes the top of the chamber, the mysterious process stops as suddenly as it
began.

In Cramped Chamber

   You are in a low cramped chamber at the back of a small cave.  There is a
shelf in the rock wall at about the height of your shoulder.

   Sitting on the shelf are tiny cakes and a tiny brass key.

>take key. eat cakes

At Top of steps (back of Thunder Hole)

   The door is closed and locked.

You feel dizzy...Everything around you is spinning, expanding, growing
larger....  Dear me!  Is the cave bigger or are you smaller?

On Ledge by Wrought-Iron Door

   You are on a wide ledge, bounded on one side by a rock wall, and on the
other by a sheer cliff.  The only way past is through a large wrought-iron
door.

   The door is closed but unlocked.

>e
(Opening the wrought-iron door)
At Underground Sea

   You are on the shore of an underground sea.  The way west is through a
wrought-iron door.

   The door is open.

   A high wooden ship of vast proportions extends out of the water to the east.
There doesn't appear to be any way into the ship.

>phuce
You are again overcome by a sickening vertigo, but this time everything around
you is shrinking...Shrinking...

At West Wall of Blue Grotto

   You are at the western tip of the Blue Grotto.  A large lake almost covers
the cavern floor, except for where you are standing.  Small holes high in the
rock wall to the east admit a dim light.  The reflection of the light from the
water suffuses the cavern with a hazy bluish glow.

   There is a small wooden boat here.

   The door is open.

In Bubble Chamber, in the wooden boat

   You are at a high rock on the NE side of a watery chamber at the mouth of a
small brook.  An unknown gas bubbles up through the water from the chamber
floor.  A bluish light can be seen to the southwest.

   Nearby, a strange, greenish stone is glowing brightly!

   There is a small wooden boat here.

   The wooden boat seems to contain a wooden pole.

In the Fairy Grotto

   You are in the Fairy Grotto.  All around you innumerable stalactites,
arranged in immense colonnades, form elegant arches.  On every side you hear
the dripping of water, like the footsteps of a thousand fairies.  A small
stream runs from the SW corner.  A bright glow emanates from the south side of
the grotto, and a steep passage descends to the east.

>turn off lamp
The lamp is now off.

>s
In the Crystal Palace.

   You are in the Crystal Palace.  An overhead vein of phosphorescent quartz
casts a luminous glow which is reflected by countless chips of mica embedded in
both walls, which consist of some sort of highly reflective glass, apparently
of volcanic origin.  A winding path of yellow sandstone leads west and rises
steeply to the east.

   You see a crystal ball here!

>get ball
Taken.

* Your score just went up by 2 points.  *


>look in ball
You feel rather disembodied, as if you were suddenly somewhere else entirely.

You sense that you are in a dark place.  The only thing in sight appears to be
a companion to the crystal ball which holds your gaze.  It seems to be
searching the gloom for something to show you, but all it can see is itself:  a
brilliant blue six-pointed star suspended in space.

Your gaze withdraws from the crystal ball, and you are now back in your normal
senses.

>e
On the Yellow Path

   You are following an east-west yellow sandstone path.  There is a glow to
the west.  A dark passage branches off to the north.

   You're in an a low octagonal room with cracked marble walls.  There were

obstructed by falls of large rocks, all of which appear to be far too heavy for
you to move.  The rocks block all directions except the north and northwest.

   You see a torn scrap of paper here.

>read paper
It's a small scrap of paper which seems to have been torn from a large piece. 
The following cryptic message is written on it:

C=1
B=2
G=3
M=3
Total 3:  basic protection.
Total 6:  retaliation.
Total 9:  search and destroy.

At first sight, the back of the paper appears to be blank - until you notice
that the bottom edge has been folded over.  You unfold it, revealing the words:

Pendant keywords:  ANA, KATA, PHR...
Unfortunately the bottom right hand corner is missing, so you can only see the
first three letters of the third pendant keyword.

>ana
Nothing happens.  Old Elvish lore claimed that the magic words "ana" and "kata"
could transport you between parallel worlds, linked by a fifth dimension called
"Transindection".  It was rumored that the Wumpus entered the cave by this
means.  However, the general view nowadays is that it's just an old myth.  No-
one has demonstrated the existence of the dimension, let alone found any way to
travel through it!

   A lovely silken cloak lies partially buried under a pile of loose rocks.

   In the corner, a Wumpus is sleeping peacefully.

>take cloak
The cloak is stuck tight under the rocks.  You'll probably have to yank it out.

>yank cloak

   You have jerked the cloak free of the rocks.  However, in doing so you have
caused a small rockslide, blocking the entrance and making an unholy din.

   You turkey!!!  Now you've done it!  It took some effort, but you woke up the
Wumpus.  He slowly opens one red eye, and then another, and then one more (!!),
and looks at you sleepily.  He had been dreaming of a late snack.  If you don't
act quickly, you'll be a *late* adventurer!

west.

   In a flash of intuition, you notice something which previous adventurers may

natural feature.  Then you realize what it is - the remains of a stone path
which has now been almost obliterated by rockfalls.

seemingly infinite cliff fills the entire western hemisphere.  To the east, a
narrow inlet of ocean water laps gently upon the beach.  The scene is
illuminated by the light of three small moons shining through the shimmering
glow of an aurora that fills the entire sky with golden splendor.  Steps lead
up the cliff to a shelf of rock.

   There is a bag (obviously filled with pieces of eight) in the dinghy!

   Lying upon the beach are the shattered remains of what must once have been a

   There is a large, nasty-looking ogre blocking your path!

>throw sword
(at the nasty ogre)
The sword halts in mid-air, twirls like a dervish, and chants several bars of
"Dies Ire" in a rough tenor voice.  It then begins to spin like a rip-saw blade
and flies directly at the ogre, who attempts to catch it without success; it
strikes him full on the chest.  There is a brilliant flash of light, a
deafening roar and a cloud of oily grey smoke; when the smoke clears (and your
eyes begin working properly again) you see that the ogre has vanished.  The
sword is lying on the ground, sparking and flaming.  Before your eyes it
softens and melts, writhes as if in pain, and shrinks rapidly until all that is
left is a small silvery ring which cools rapidly.

Sorcerer's Lair

   This is the Sorcerer's Lair.  The walls are covered with exotic runes
written in strange, indecipherable scripts; the only readable phrase reads
"noside samoht".  Strange shadows flit about on the walls, but there is nothing
visible to cast them.  Iridescent blue light drips from a stalactite far above,
falls towards the floor, and evaporates before touching the ground.  A deep,
resonant chanting sound vibrates from deep in the ground beneath your feet, and
a whispering sound composed of the echoes of long-forgotten spells and cantrips
seeps from the walls and fills the air.  Passages exit to the east and west.

>e
Brink of Bottomless Pit

   You are standing on the brink of what appears to be a bottomless pit
plunging down into the bowels of the earth.  Ledges run around the pit to the
east and west, and a passage leads back to the north.

>e.ne.se
East Side of Bottomless Pit

   You are standing on the eastern side of a bottomless pit.  A narrow ledge
runs north towards a dimly-visible passage; the ledge once continued south of
this point but has been shattered by falling rock.  A narrow crack in the rock
leads northeast.

Narrow, Twisting Crack

   You are following a narrow crack in the rock which enters from the
southwest, turns and twists somewhat, and exits to the southeast.

A strange malaise suddenly afflicts you.  You shiver with chill, and your
muscles seem to turn to putty; everything around you becomes grey and unreal. 
The fit quickly passes, and you find that your body has degenerated back to
what it was like before you ate the mushroom.

North End of Tight Passage

   You are standing at the northern end of a rather tight passage.  A narrow
crack in the rock leads west.

   The passage to the south is swathed with sheets of evil-looking green slime,
which twitch and flow as if aware of your presence.

>throw vial
(at the slime)
The vial lands near to the slime.  It explodes into splinters and
disintegrates, releasing an oily liquid which rapidly sublimes into a large
mushroom-shaped cloud of misty white vapor with no scent.

The slime filling the passageway to the south blackens and shrivels away into
nothingness.

At Sword Point

   You are on a narrow promontory at the foot of a waterfall, which spurts from
an overhead hole in the rock wall and splashes into a large reservoir, sending
up clouds of mist and spray.  To the south, the indistinct shape of the
opposite shore can be dimly seen.

Through the thick white mist looms a polished marble slab, to which is affixed
an enormous rusty iron anvil.  In golden letters are written the words:  "Whoso
Pulleth Out This Sword of This Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King-Born of All
This Mountain."  There is a narrow chimney on the east side of the promontory,

the proposition that all adventurers are created equal (although some are more

   You are being followed by a very large, tame bear.

At Breath-Taking View

   You are on the edge of a breath-taking view.  Far below you is an active
volcano, from which great gouts of molten lava come surging out, cascading back
down into the depths.  The glowing rock fills the farthest reaches of the
cavern with a blood-red glare, giving everything an eerie, macabre appearance. 
The air is filled with flickering sparks of ash and a heavy smell of brimstone.
The walls are hot to the touch, and the thundering of the volcano drowns out
all other sounds.  Embedded in the jagged roof far overhead are myriad twisted
formations composed of pure white alabaster, which scatter the murky light into
sinister apparitions upon the walls.  To one side is a deep gorge, filled with
a bizarre chaos of tortured rock which seems to have been crafted by the devil
himself.  An immense river of fire crashes out from the depths of the volcano,
burns its way through the gorge, and plummets into a bottomless pit far off to
your left.

Across the gorge, the entrance to a valley is dimly visible.  To the right, an
immense geyser of blistering steam erupts continuously from a barren island in
the center of a sulfurous lake, which bubbles ominously.  The far right wall is
aflame with an incandescence of its own, which lends an additional infernal
splendor to the already hellish scene.  A dark, forboding passage exits to the
south.

   You are being followed by a very large, tame bear.

>bear, stay
OK, the bear is no longer following you around.

>wave rod
The earth begins to shudder violently, and smoke flows up from the gorge
beneath your feet.  With a violent >glop<, the volcano belches out an immense
blast of molten lava which flies into the air above the gorge and suddenly
solidifies into a fragile-looking arch of wheat-colored stone that bridges the
gorge.

>cross
As you approach the center of the archway, hot vapors saturated with brimstone
drift up from the lava in the gorge beneath your feet.  The mithril ring on
your finger quivers and glows, and the fumes eddy away from the bridge without
harming you.

flickering red light from the volcanic gorge behind you.  Carved into the walls
of the valley are an incredible series of stone faces.  Some of them look down
into the valley with expressions of benevolence that would credit a saint;
others glare with a malice that makes the heart grow faint.  All of them are
imbued with a fantastic seeming of life by the shifting and flickering light of
the volcano.  The entire far end of the valley is taken up by an immense
carving of a seated figure; its exact form cannot be seen from here due to the

The wax seal breaks away easily.  A cloud of dark smoke pours up from the mouth
of the flask and condenses into the form of a twelve-foot Djinn standing in the
pentagram.  He pushes experimentally at the magical wall of the pentagram
(which holds), and nods politely to you.  "MY THANKS, OH MORTAL," he says in an
incredibly deep bass voice.  "IT HAS BEEN THREE THOUSAND YEARS SINCE SOLOMON
SEALED ME INTO THAT BOTTLE, AND I AM GRATEFUL THAT YOU HAVE RELEASED ME.  IF
YOU WILL OPEN THIS PENTAGRAM AND LET ME GO FREE, I WILL GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE
THAT YOU MAY ONE DAY WISH TO POSSESS."

>open pentagram

The pentagram's magical barrier sparks fitfully and goes down.  The Djinn
stretches gratefully and smiles at you.  "AGAIN, MY THANKS," he says.  "MY
ADVICE TO YOU WILL TAKE THE FORM OF A HISTORY LESSON.  WHEN RALPH WITT, THE
ARCHITECT AND CONSTRUCTOR OF THIS CAVE, WAS VERY YOUNG, HE BECAME VERY INCENSED
THAT HIS NAME WAS AT THE END OF THE ALPHABET.  HE FELT (FOR SOME REASON) THAT
THE LETTER W BELONGED NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE ALPHABET, AND THAT ALL OF THOSE
"UPSTART LETTERS WHICH UNFAIRLY USURPED THE BEST PLACES" SHOULD BE FORCED INTO
EXILE AT THE END OF THE ALPHABET.  HIS INSTINCT FOR MATTERS MAGICAL AND
MYSTICAL LED HIM TO APPLY THIS STRANGE BELIEF INTO THE CAVE'S STRUCTURE WHEN HE
EXCAVATED IT.  YOU HAVEN'T YET BEEN AFFECTED BY HIS STRANGE HABITS, BUT YOU
SHOULD REMEMBER THIS.  FAREWELL, AND GOOD LUCK."  With that, the Djinn
evaporates into a cloud of smoke and drifts rapidly away.

ANCIENT LORE THAT I LEARNED FROM MY AUNT, AN AFREET OF GREAT KNOWLEDGE.  THERE
IS ANOTHER MAGIC WORD THAT YOU MIGHT FIND OF USE IF YOU SHOULD EVER FIND
YOURSELF BEING ATTACKED BY THOSE PESTIFEROUS DWARVES.  YOU SHOULD USE IT ONLY

BACKFIRE FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON; ALSO, IT SHOULD NEVER BE USED NEAR WATER OR
NEAR ANY SHARP WEAPON OR THE RESULTS MAY BE MOST UNFORTUNATE.  THE WORD IS
'phuggg'", whispers the djinn, "AND IT MUST BE PRONOUNCED CAREFULLY IF IT IS TO
HAVE THE PROPER EFFECT.  FAREWELL AGAIN, AND GOOD LUCK!"  With that, the djinn-
cloud drifts away out of sight.

(Putting the rock-crystal sculpture in the leather sack to make room)
Done.  Taken.  You pluck the sceptre from the skeleton's bony hand.  As you do,
the skeleton raises its head and whispers "Remember - knerl!"  in a forboding
tone; it then sags to the ground and crumbles into dust which drifts away into
the still air of the cave.

berries on the branches.

orange flowers.

In Living Maze (yellow leaves)

   You are in the center of the living maze.  The plants here are dormant this
season, but still carry brilliant yellow leaves.

In Living Maze (green leaves)

   Unlike the other areas of the hedge system, this area seems to have no
metallic gleam; nevertheless it is still breathtaking.  The trees and bushes
are all variegated shades of green, the evergreens being a rich dark shade
while the seasonal bushes are a lighter yellowish green, making a startling
contrast.

   You are near the edge of the maze.  There are delicious-looking blueberries
on the bushes.  You're tempted to sample them!

In Inner Courtyard

   You are in the inner garden of the elves.  In the center is a living tree,
with shimmering silvery bark, glistening metallic green leaves, and flowers
ripe with nectar.  As the nectar falls to the ground it forms droplets of
silver.  Around the tree is a hedge of briars which cannot be crossed. 
Unfortunately for adventurers such as you, most of the nectar falls inside the
hedge.  The exit is to the east.

The rocks block most of the passages out of this room and appear to be too
large to move.  You experience a sudden flash of intuition, and a strange sense
of foreboding.  You can't yet put your finger on it, but there's something
odd - something not quite right - about the rocks blocking the east passage. 
Maybe you'll discover more if you investigate further.

>search east rocks
You start to move the rocks blocking the east passage - and realize that you've
noticed two details which previous adventurers seem to have missed.  Firstly,
the rocks look a little too neat and uniform, as if someone has deliberately
piled them up to block the passage!  Secondly, they're all much lighter than
they appear to be.

   It only takes a few minutes to move the rocks, behind which you find a steel
door.  Unfortunately it's locked.

   A sepulchral voice reverberating through the cave says, "Due to the opening

Okay, you're now wearing the gold pendant.  You experience a strange sensation
as you put the chain around your neck.  It seems to whisper the words "Ana" and
"Kata" to you.

   A few seconds later, you sense that something is wrong.  The words "Pendant
Error 3:  Recharge required" seem to pass through your mind, and you look again
at the pendant.  Strangely, it no longer appears to be made of gold - in fact
it's now a plain two-inch disk of tarnished brass!

   You're in a long east-west passage.  Light streams in from the west and

that heavy objects have been dragged from one end of the passage to the other. 
The west end of the passage leads through an open door into another chamber.

   Through the east exit you can see a light on the far wall of the room
beyond.  It is dark.

You knock against the door as you pass through, and it closes - making a
horrendous creaking sound.


In a large circular room (Green Level)

   You're in a large circular room with smooth marble walls.  The original
staircase has been bricked up and a new, wider stair - about 15 feet to the
right of the original - leads up.  Around the walls you can see various
portraits, display cabinets and pieces of furniture.

   You now realize why all those passages were blocked off!  There must be
about thirty Wumpi in this room, all lying on low beds!  They are all sleeping
peacefully, and I strongly suggest that you keep things this way.

   The massive stone blocks have been piled up neatly against a wall, close to
the east passage.

   A diffuse glow from the ceiling lights the room dimly.

>e.e.e.
You start to open the door.  Unfortunately it makes a tremendous noise but only
moves by a quarter of an inch, despite your increased strength.


You start to open the door.  Unfortunately it makes a tremendous noise but only

You'd get the door open if you tried hard enough, but you'd wake all the Wumpi
if you did so!  I strongly advise you to find another way out of here.

>u
It would be hard to reach the staircase without stepping over at least one of
the Wumpi.  It isn't worth the risk.

>kata
You hesitate.  When you spied on an elf with the crystal ball, his
teleportation spell took the sapphire with him.  You feel sure that this has
something to do with the gold ring which you found on the Wumpus.  These Wumpi
are also wearing gold rings, so you ask yourself what will happen if you
teleport yourself from here ...  But then you question whether the Wumpi would
be silly enough to wear rings which could transport them while sleeping.  In
any case, you'll need to use magic to get out of here without waking the Wumpi,
so you say the word ...

In a large circular room (Blue level)

   A diffuse glow from the ceiling lights the room dimly.

   Oh oh!  You've brought most of the Wumpi with you, together with the beds
they are lying on.  Unfortunately, it would appear that the Wumpi are silly
enough to wear magic rings in their sleep.

   Anyway, you'd better not leave the Wumpi here.  They have access to the
Octagonal Room from here, and with their superior strength it would take them
five minutes to unblock the passage to the Upper Transindection Chamber.

   So unless you like the idea of having to deal with 20 Wumpi in place of the
one you killed, I strongly suggest that another "Kata" is called for.  Plus a
prayer that all the Wumpi will be transported this time.


>kata
All of the Wumpi repeat the magic word in their sleep.

   Fortunately, you've brought all the Wumpi with you this time - I don't think

brighter, and the Wumpi are beginning to wake up!  You'd better get yourself

possible...

   You're at the top of the pile of blocks, about 15 feet off the ground. 
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a great deal to do here, apart from
going down again.

>z.z.z.z
Time passes...

Time passes...

Time passes...

You hear the Wumpi slowly approaching through the east passage!  They're making
an unholy din - shouts, arguments and the sounds of beds being dragged back
through the passage.  You climb down the blocks then dodge past the sleeping
Wumpi and up the stairs, trying to move both quickly and quietly at the same
time ...

As you reach the top of the stairs, you hear the sound of twenty angry Wumpi
coming back into the Large Circular Room.  Something about the acoustics of
this place allows you to hear more clearly than you might expect ...

   You hear beds being dragged across the floor, and shouts, recriminations and
denials in a strange language - no, it's an unfamiliar dialect of English!  You
manage to make out a few phrases - "Can we get any dormiture without some fool
playing games ...  ", "I'll be tried to return to the Old Ways if I find out
who ...  ".  Then you hear one of the Wumpi say, in a loud, authoritative
voice:  "...  Let the elves know nothing about this!  Let them not know that
Eldrand's mission failed.  And they would best know naught about the amulet. 
Ye all know the Charter - if any Transindection amulets are stoneturned, they
are to be re-given to the elves undelayedly.  Not employed in foolish manual
jests!"

   You feel a strong desire to get out of here "undelayedly", before the Wumpi
discover that you were responsible for the "foolish manual jest".

   You're at the top of a wide spiral staircase.  Light streams from a large

In the Wumpus Living Room (Green level)

   You're in a large room which appears to be the living quarters of the Wumpi.
This room is lit, but there is no obvious source of light.  An open doorway
leads out to the south, and a locked door bars the exit to the north. 
Armchairs and couches are grouped around low tables, but you see something of
far more interest to the west - a large free-standing bookcase, full of books
in various languages.  You notice that there is a gap behind the bookcase.

>x bookcase. get book
It's a large wooden bookcase, crammed with books in many different languages -
Elvish, Dwarvish, and a strange version of English.  All of the books appear to
be quite incomprehensible, with the exception of one entitled "History of the
Wumpi in Bedquilt Cave."  You notice that there is a space behind the bookcase.
It might be a useful hiding place if any of the Wumpi decide to come up here.

Taken.

>go behind bookcase
Behind the Bookcase

   You're hiding behind the bookcase in the Wumpi's living quarters, in a small
space bounded to the west by the wall of the room and to the east by the
bookcase.  From this side it looks like a solid wooden board, marred only by a
few small knot-holes.

>x knot-holes
The back face of the bookcase is a solid wooden board, almost featureless
except for a few small knot-holes.  You look carefully at the holes, and notice
a small key-operated switch behind one of them, about two inches above the
floor!  It has two positions, marked "locked" and "unlocked".  At present it is
locked.

>read book
This book appears to have been written by a human called "Jedediah Smith", and
is entitled "History of the Wumpi in Bedquilt Cave".  It is divided into four
chapters:  Early History, Civilization of the Wumpi, Escape of the Rapscallion,
and Achievements of the Elvish Masters.  A handwritten note on the title page
reads:  "Protected by Elvin Sorcery.  Do not remove."

>read early history
You learn that there are two rival groups of elves - the Mountain Elves and the
Castle Elves.  The Castle Elves once lived in the area of the Octagonal Room,
but most of them migrated to the Castle after rock-falls made this area unsafe.
The remaining elves occupied another area of the cave, and came to be known as
the Mountain elves.  Around this time, the Wumpi at Green level were thought to
present a threat to other Transindection levels, and the cave management at
each Level was asked to block off all access to the Transindection Chambers.


>read civilization
This chapter describes how the Wumpi began to change their ways.  It would
appear that they no longer eat human flesh, and live in peace with elves and
humans.


>read escape
This chapter tells of one renegade Wumpus who decided to continue with the "Old
Ways".  He turned up at Red level, and it was suspected that he had found one
of the lost gold pendants.  The elves planned to recapture the Wumpus and
return him to Green level, but this plan was cancelled when the Green-level
Mountain elves fell out with the Castle Elves.  In case the Wumpus ever
returned, the Wumpi were ordered to secure the exit from their quarters with a
remotely-operated lock.  It is in use to this day.

The Castle Elves decided to contain the problem by confining the Wumpus to Red
level.  They sent their chief engineer, Eldrand, to de-activate both of the
Transindection Chambers and all of the gold pendants.  Unfortunately he found
it necessary to do this from the Control Room, which was known to be unsafe. 
He never returned from his mission, having apparently died in the Control Room.
The Castle Elves learned that the Lower Transindection Room no longer worked at
Green level, and assumed that Eldrand's mission had succeeded.  (Of course, you
know that he succeeded only in disabling the Lower Transindection Chamber at
green level - and the Wumpi now know this as well.)

The book then goes on to speculate on the reasons why the Castle Elves never
mounted a follow-up mission.  It concludes that they were concerned to prevent
their Transindection pendants from falling into the wrong hands, then refers
the reader to the following chapter ...


>read achievements
A small metallic object falls out of the book and onto the floor.

The final chapter gives you cause for concern.  It appears that the Mountain
Elves at Green level seem to have become very militaristic in recent years, and
have taken over most of the cave and the surrounding area.  It all started with
the discovery of three sealed burial chambers, containing 114 elven crowns, 101
suits of mithril silver chain-mail and 79 steel swords.  This made the elves
almost invincible, even when greatly outnumbered.  However, they failed to
conquer the Castle, due to the ability of the Castle Elves to bring in
unlimited supplies using some form of teleportation magic.  It has long been
suspected that Transindection was used.

(You feel sure of one thing.  There would be unpleasant consequences if the
Green-level Mountain Elves managed to get hold of any Transindection pendants. 
You'd better watch your step here.)


>look
Behind the Bookcase

   You're hiding behind the bookcase in the Wumpi's living quarters, in a small

(Opening the door)
There is a blinding flash of light as you pass through the door.  When your
eyes have recovered, you notice that your inventory is a little lighter.

In A Wide Crack (Green level)

   You're in a wide n/s crack.  It appears to have been narrower at one time,
but it has been enlarged.  The way south leads through an unlocked steel door. 
For some reason the lock is on the wall to the right of the door, not the door
itself.

>i.n
You have a set of keys (being worn), a leather sack, a brass lantern (providing
light), and a gold pendant (being worn).  The leather sack seems to contain a
small empty bottle, a bag of coal, a polished metal plate, and a black rod.

At East End of Long Hall (Green level)

   You are at the east end of a very long hall apparently without side
chambers.  In the south wall are several wide cracks and a high hole, but the
hole is far above your head.  To the east a wide crawl slants up.  To the north
a round two foot hole slants down.

>n
You experience a strange tingling sensation as you enter the passage, then ...

In Hall of Mists (Green level)

   You are at one end of a vast hall stretching forward out of sight to the
west, filled with wisps of white mist that sway to and fro almost as if alive. 
There is a passage at the top of a dome above you.  A wide staircase runs
downward into the darkness; a chill wind blows up from below.  There are small
passages to the north and south, and a small crack leads east.

   Signs above the staircase and the north passage read:  "Warning:  passdisks
must be shewn."

   Rough stone steps lead up the dome.

In Nugget of Gold Room (Green level)

   This is a low room to the south of the Hall of Mists.  There is no nugget of
gold here, but there is something of much more interest - a glass sphere, set
into the wall.  As you approach the sphere it begins to light up, and your gold
pendant also starts to glow; perhaps the sphere is activated by the pendant.

   Below the sphere there is a dial which can be set to a number from 1 to 6. 
The current setting is 1.

>look in sphere 
You feel rather disembodied, as if you were suddenly somewhere else entirely.

At End of Lost River Canyon.

   You are standing on a large flat rock table at the western end of Lost River
Canyon.  Beneath your feet, the river disappears amidst foam and spray into a
large sinkhole.  A gentle path leads east along the river's south shore. 
Another leads sharply upward along the river's north side.

   Nearby is the smashed body of a defunct Wumpus.

Your gaze withdraws from the glass ball, and you are now back in your normal
senses.

>turn dial to 2
Okay, it's now turned to 2.

>look in sphere
You feel rather disembodied, as if you were suddenly somewhere else entirely.

In Orange Level Office

   You're in an abandoned office.  The room is lit, but there is no obvious
light source.  Most of the furniture and equipment have been removed, except
for one large desk against the east wall and a series of plans on the north
wall.  Somehow you know that this room is located near the Large Circular Room.
This is confirmed by the plans, which show that this room is located between
the Large Circular Room and the Lower Transindection Chamber, but the floor
level is much higher.  At other Transindection levels there is an access shaft
with the same floor level.  The west end of each shaft was originally entered
from a ladder fixed to the east wall of the Large Circular Room, and the east
end opens into a Maintenance Room.

   A doorway leads out to the west.

Your gaze withdraws from the glass ball, and you are now back in your normal
senses.

Transindection Control Room

   You're in the Transindection control room.  The room is lit, but with no
obvious source of light.  Apart from a small area in the center, the room is
filled with cabinets with many rows of color-coded levers, dials and switches. 
All of this equipment looks very old and neglected, and you feel disinclined to
tamper with it.  Against one wall you see a more familiar set of controls:  a
row of colored buttons like those in the Lower Transindection Rooms.  A small
label below the buttons suggests that their function may be relatively
unimportant.  It reads "Lower Anteroom Lighting."

   In the center of the room you see several rocks which have apparently fallen
from the ceiling.  Under one of them there is a skeleton - it's probably
Eldrand, who was sent here many years ago to de-activate the Transindection
Chambers.  You try to move the rock, but you can't because you're not really
here.  However, you do notice that the skeleton is wearing a green pendant.

   You see a broken container here.

Your gaze withdraws from the glass ball, and you are now back in your normal
senses.

>turn dial to 4
Okay, it's now turned to 4.

>look in sphere
You feel rather disembodied, as if you were suddenly in a different room - but
in this case, not very far away ...

Sandstone Chamber (Green level)

   You are in a small chamber to the east of the Hall of Mists.  The walls are
composed of rough red sandstone.  There is a large, cubical chunk of rock in
the center of the room, bearing a plaque in Elvish, and you somehow know that
it reads "Eldrand-Fitzgerald Topaz".

   Sitting on the chunk of rock is a topaz.

Your gaze withdraws from the glass ball, and you are now back in your normal
senses.

>turn dial to 5
Okay, it's now turned to 5.

>look in sphere
You feel rather disembodied, as if you were suddenly somewhere else entirely.

Banqueting Hall (Green level)

   You are in a long southeast-northwest chamber with a banqueting table along
most of its length.  Doors (closed) lead out of the southeast end, and an open
doorway leads northwest.  Unfortunately the passage beyond the northwest end
has been blocked by a rock-fall, but somehow you know that it would lead to the

   The room looks just as it did before the elves abandoned it, many years ago.
The polished surface of the table, the freshly-swept floor, the neatly-arranged

>x damaged wall
Unlike other concrete walls you have seen, this one appears to have been
attacked with a sledgehammer.  There are numerous holes about half an inch deep
and three inches in diameter, behind which there is a finely-woven mesh of
mithril silver wires.  No sledgehammer could get through that!  The exception
is a discolored area near the north wall, which appears to have been attacked
by some kind of chemical.  You prod the area with your foot, and find that the
silver wires have now lost all their strength.  So has the concrete behind,
which is now so soft that ...

of them are empty, but on one of them hangs an orange plastic pendant,
identical in size to your gold pendant.  And it's just within reach!  You
carefully put your hand through the hole, taking care not to touch the damaged
concrete with your bare skin.  Then you take the pendant and slip it on.  You
experience a strange sensation as you put the chain around your neck.  It seems
to whisper the word "Kata" to you, and you somehow feel an awareness that the
scope of your gold pendant has been expanded, albeit in a limited area ...

Other directions lead out to an abandoned office.

The underside of the desk looks completely smooth and featureless, but close
examination reveals a hinge at the back.

>push desk
You firmly push the underside of the desk.  It moves upwards about half an

drops down, revealing a secret compartment!  You rummage around, finding
nothing but dust and pencil sharpenings at first - but then your persistence is
rewarded.  You find a large iron key, which you take!

You push the flap back up.  The catch operates, and the flap falls down about
half an inch to rest in its original position.

In Orange Level Office

   You're in an abandoned office.  The room is lit, but there is no obvious
light source.  Most of the furniture and equipment have been removed, except
for one large desk against the east wall and a series of plans on the north
wall.  The plans show that this room is located between the Large Circular Room
and the Lower Transindection Chamber, but the floor level is much higher.  At
other Transindection levels there is an access shaft with the same floor level.
The west end of each shaft was originally entered from a ladder fixed to the

Maintenance room.

it will get you out of here.

Transindection Control Room

   You're in the Transindection control room.  The room is lit, but with no
obvious source of light.  Apart from a small area in the center, the room is
filled with cabinets with many rows of color-coded levers, dials and switches. 
All of this equipment looks very old and neglected, and you feel disinclined to
tamper with it.  Against one wall you see a more familiar set of controls:  a
row of colored buttons like those in the Lower Transindection Rooms.  A small
label below the buttons suggests that their function may be relatively
unimportant.  It reads "Lower Anteroom Lighting."

   In the center of the room you see several rocks which have apparently fallen
from the ceiling.  Under one of them there is a skeleton, apparently of an
elf - it's probably Eldrand, who was sent here many years ago to de-activate
the Transindection Chambers.  Once again, you see a green pendant around the
neck of the skeleton.

   With great effort you move the rock away from the body, then remove the
pendant.  Almost without thinking, you slip it on.  You experience a strange
sensation as you put the chain around your neck.  It seems to whisper the word
"Ana" to you, and you somehow feel an awareness that the scope of your gold
pendant has been expanded ...

   You see a broken container here.

leave well alone.

>search body
You search the body for other possessions.  You find a manual for the control
room, which you take; maybe there will be useful information in there.  The
only other objects you find are broken, crushed by the stone:  a shattered
pendant and a damaged key.

>put damaged key on keyring
You add the damaged key to the keyring.

>read manual
The manual is written in English, Dwarvish and Elvish.  You can't read Dwarvish
and Elvish, and the English version is no better - it's full of
incomprehensible jargon.  There are many written notes, most of which make
little sense to you.  For example, one section refers to the use of
"oscillatory contact" with a "portable mediator" in order to prevent "unwanted
mediation by unregistered objects".  A scrawled note starts "Borrowed a spare
Astral Staff."  Could this be a rod with a star on an end, like the one you
found in the Debris room?  You read the next sentence as an instruction,
although it would be an impossible task:  "Span the Staff over the Green-level
fissure to gain entry to the Orange Stone Chamber."

   Another section also draws your attention.  It refers to an emergency
procedure for gaining access to a Maintenance Room.  It would appear that the
Eldrand-Fitzgerald Topaz must be brought close to the west wall of the room,
which will then become "permeable".  This has been crossed out, and a penciled
note underneath seems to hint at the reason:

"Topaz activation threshold = 1.5 Fzg (following damage)
Permeation field just outside Maintenance Room = 1.1 Fzg (maximum)"
A further note has been added underneath:

"Try aqua mithrilis (N.B.  gold content unknown; reaction rate slow if more
than 1%)"

   Several elves are sitting at the table, consulting old plans.  They show the
area of the Octagonal Room, including the rooms you have seen.  Despite the
fact that they are written in Elvish, you can understand the words - there are
familiar rooms like the Upper Transindection Chamber as well as kitchens,
living quarters, libraries etc.  You hear a lively discussion in the strange
version of English which you heard earlier - but this time you can understand
every word.

   You hear that King Ondral is to be asked to part with a few more gold
pieces, in return for which the Wumpi will clear any obstacles between this
room and the Upper Transindection Chamber.  Then the truth about Eldrand's
mission will be revealed.  If the Upper Chamber is still active, an invasion
force is to be mustered without delay.  The invasion can probably be speeded up
if the Wumpi's gold rings can be obtained; it is said that they can transport
up to 20 people at a time!

   You shudder at the realization that the elves will almost certainly start
with an invasion of Red level.  You will have to find a way to complete

   There are several objects of interest here - two large display boards and a
display case.

   You see a gray rod and a memo here.

>read boards
first display board:  The display is entitled " Discovery of the Planet
Zarkalon.  " It starts by recounting the curious tale told by the old pirate
who used to live in the cave.  He claimed that he had been becalmed in a
strange fog, after which he had found himself on another world - now known as
Zarkalon.

   He had explored this world for several years, discovering abandoned cities
and many treasures.  Eventually he was caught in a storm and was shipwrecked,
but he managed to put ashore on a small dinghy.  The beach on which he landed
is now known as the Pirate's Beach.

   Above the beach he found a passage, now known as the Convoluted Passage,
leading back into our world!  For many years the route to the passage had been
blocked by debris, but it had recently been cleared.  The remains of the
pirate's dinghy were still on the beach, and contained a bag of antique silver
coins which the pirate must have left behind!

second display board:  The second board is devoted to the archeological
investigations of the abandoned city.  This project has been sub-contracted to
the Mammoth Cave Mining Corporation, which has built a timber roadway to
provide access to the tunnel leading up to the city.

   Many interesting artefacts have been found, some of which are displayed in
this room.  Dating techniques have shown that the city was abandoned about 400
years ago, but many of the items are almost perfectly preserved.  For example,
the power pack inside the machine is still almost fully charged.

>read memo
It reads:
"DISAPPEARANCE OF MEDALLION-CHARGING MACHINE

An enquiry is to be held following the incident last week involving the
apparent loss of the "medallion-charging" machine.  Past experience suggests
that the device may have translocated itself to another placement; if so, it
may be found in due time.  The occurrence was caused by an unpermissioned
attempt to charge a crude replica medallion.  The grey wand which appeared in
place of the machine is to be left in situ, and the Travertine Room will remain
closed to visitors until the finale of the investigation."  No doubt a junior
employee will take the blame for the failings of his (or her) superiors ...

Maintenance Room (Orange level)

   You're in a cramped room, slightly larger than its counterparts at other
Levels and lit by a dim glow from the ceiling.  There are no visible exits,
except for a blocked-off doorway to the west.  Marks and holes on the north
wall suggest that it once bore equipment of some kind, but it has been removed.

   The south wall has three "on-off" switches.  The left switch is marked
"Orange Level Isolator Switch", and a red light above it is labelled "Control-
room Enable Signal."  The middle and right switches are labelled "Lower
Chambers" and "Upper Chambers", and a sign above both switches reads "Emergency

Convoluted Passage (Blue level)

   You are in the tunnel which the Blue-level people refer to as the Convoluted
Passage.  Like other rooms in the Blue-level cave it is lit by overhead
electric lights and concrete has been laid on the floor.  Narrow parts of the
tunnel have been widened, and the southwest exit leads out to the platform
above the beach.  Unfortunately the northwest exit is blocked by a locked steel
door.

>sw
Shelf of Rock Above Beach (Blue level)

   You are standing on a large shelf of sedimentary rock overlooking a lava
beach.  The shelf is an extension of an incredible cliff, but now there is a
way up - a recently-built timber roadway zig-zags up the cliff, disappearing
into a large tunnel about 200 feet above you.  A smaller tunnel leads into the
cliff to the west.

>d
Beach (Blue level)

   You are standing on a short, barren beach composed of hardened lava.  Rugged
and unclimbable volcanic hills block all view to the north and south, and a
seemingly infinite cliff fills the entire western hemisphere.  To the east, a
narrow inlet of ocean water laps gently upon the beach.  The scene is
illuminated by the light of three small moons shining through the shimmering
glow of an aurora that fills the entire sky with golden splendor.  Steps lead
back up to the shelf of rock, from which a zig-zagging timber roadway continues
up the face of the cliff.  A notice on the cliffside reads "Pirate's Beach".

>read notice
The notice reads "MAMMOTH CAVE MINING CORPORATION", with "Pirate's Beach" below
in large print.  There is smaller print underneath, so you move closer and read
"See the Exhibition in the Travertine Room".  Travertine ...  Ah!  I think
that's the orange mineral in the Bird Chamber.  The Travertine Room must be the
Blue-level name for the Bird Chamber.

In a Winding Tunnel (Blue level)

   You're in a winding tunnel, lit by overhead electric lights, which spirals
up towards the top of the cliff.  You experience a strange sensation as you
walk along, as if you are moving in slow motion.

>u
As you continue upwards, you find it necessary to 'pop' your ears every few
yards, and notice that the air seems to be getting thinner.  The tunnel emerges
into the light,and you find yourself ...

At Top of Cliff (Blue level)

   You're at the top of the cliff, high above the beach.  There is a low
balustrade to the east, beyond which a magnificent sea-scape spreads out before
you.  High walls block the way to the north, south and west.  The tunnel
emerges from the north wall, and a large steel door is set into the west wall. 
To the south, a stone tower rises about 100 feet above you, but its door is
firmly closed and locked.

   To one side of the tunnel there is a strange plaque, identical to the one
you saw at Green level.  The same indecipherable script, and the same picture
of a rod with a star on an end.

but the staircase now leads both up and down.  Stone slabs (which presumably
blocked the way down) are piled up to one side of the staircase.  Its walls
have been plastered and painted and are now completely smooth and featureless.

At Top of Tower (Blue level)

   You're in a circular room at the top of the tower.  Many signs of recent
repairs are evident, including the windows which have been re-glazed.  To the
east you see the seascape, and to the west an abandoned city stretches out
before you - or more accurately, a previously abandoned city.  Most of the
buildings are in ruins, but many of them are lit by electric lights and the
more intact ones - often four or five stories tall - are covered in
scaffolding.  Large archeological digs are in progress at several sites.

   A small brass plaque is attached to the wall.  It bears the logo and name of
the Mammoth Cave Mining Corporation, below which you can see more information
in smaller print.

>x windows
The windows have recently been reglazed.

>look through windows
All around you, the scene is illuminated by the glow of an aurora which fills

appears to have been abandonded until recently, but the signs of recolonization
are everywhere.

your
   lungs
       are
           aching
               with
                 the
                   need
                     for
                      fresh
                      air.
                      Suddenly,
                     with
                    a
                     violent
                   >splash!!<

you find yourself sitting on the edge of a pool of water in a vast chamber lit
by dozens of flaring torches.  Despite your dramatic entrance, your presence is
not immediately noticed - as if everyone is too preoccupied with what they are
doing.  You take advantage of this to have a good look round.

The floor is covered with thick layers of precious Persian rugs!

Rare coins, bars of silver, lumps of gold and platinum and gold rings are
strewn carelessly about!

There are diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, opals, pearls, and fabulous
sculptures and ornaments carved out of jade and imperishable crystal resting on
display shelves, along with rare Ming vases and ancient Indian turquoise beads!

A large pile of crystal balls is stacked against one wall.  You look into a few
of them, fascinated by the scenes they show.  In one, you see the Troll's
treasure chamber, lit by an orange glow and stacked with priceless items of all
descriptions.  Another ball shows a strange ruined city, illuminated by three
moons and the golden glow of an aurora which fills the entire sky!  A third
ball shows a large circular room, lit by a dim glow - and full of sleeping
Wumpi.

A flotilla of ruby-encrusted toy boats is floating in the pool of water beside
you!

A network of golden chains supports a fantastic Iridium crown!

There is a display case on the wall filled with a fantastic selection of
magical swords, which are singing "Hail to the Chief" in perfect pitch and
rhythm!

A second case contains a collection of about ten elven swords, all gleaming
like the one you took from the anvil!  A third, much larger case holds over 130
elven crowns, all made of gold or mithril silver and encrusted with valuable
stones of all descriptions!  A plaque, affixed to the front of the cabinet,
states that 114 of the crowns were found in a recently-discovered burial vault.
A further two vaults are believed to exist, but have not yet been excavated.

The Mountain King is searching the case, muttering to himself.  You hear him
say:  "I hope he realizes that the treasures go to the Troll when they're not
left in a 'safe' place."  He then grabs one of the crystal balls and looks into
it.  "Hmmm.  I can't see it in the Troll's treasure chamber."  He looks in the
case again and says:  "Ah yes!  Here it is!  " He retrieves his rightful
property from the case, puts it on and starts adjusting it in front of a
mirror.  "Hmmm.  A little further to the left, perhaps ...  "

Off to one side there is a large closet containing silken cloaks, ruby
slippers, and many other priceless articles of clothing!

There are a dozen friendly little dwarves in the room, displaying their talents
by deftly juggling hundreds of golden eggs!

A large troll, a gigantic ogre, and a bearded pirate are tossing knives, axes,
and clubs back and forth in a friendly demonstration of martial skill!

A horde of cheerful little gooseberry goblins are performing talented
acrobatics to an appreciative audience composed of a dragon, a large green
snake, a cute little bird (which is sitting, unmolested, on the snake's head),
a peaceful basilisk, and a large Arabian Djinn.

A Gnome is playing ancient and valuable musical instruments, filling the air
with beautiful music.  Nearby a large black dog is sleeping peacefully.

Everyone turns and sees you, and lets out a heart-warming cheer of welcome! 
Then the Mountain King spots your Transindection pendants, and shouts "Where
did you find the pendants?"  You stutter and stammer, but then manage to regain
your composure and tell the King what you found.  When he learns that the Upper
Transindection Chambers were working, he looks very worried indeed, but when
you reassure him that you have disabled the Chambers, he congratulates you! 
Everyone lets out a loud "Hurrah!"

The rest of your day is occupied with discreet Transindection tours, conducted
with the aid of your pendants and gold rings worn by your companions.  Rods are
spun near various plaques, the Zarkalon tower is visited and the transmutation
of lead to platinum is demonstrated.  Blue-level display boards are read, and
plans are made for the excavation of the remaining burial chambers at Red
level.  But that's the start of a much longer story ...
