Pics That Make You LOL

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!


Stranger: You are standing at the east end of a road before a small brick building.
Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and runs
south, down a gully. A wide path leads northwest.


You: Oh I love text based adventure games!


Stranger: Sorry, I don't understand "oh". I guess it may be a typo, but if so, it could
match at least two different words that I know.

You may wish to use the VOCABULARY command, or just VOC for short, if you are
unsure what commands you could type.


You: Let's seeeee


Stranger: Er, would you care to rephrase that?

Unfortunately I don't know how to "seeeee" something. I expect it isn't
really required around here.


You: >Walk north


Stranger: The word ">walk" is not one I know. Let's assume you meant "walk".

You are in an open forest north of the road.


You: examine forest


Stranger: The trees of the forest are large hardwood oak and maple, with an occasional
grove of pine or spruce. There is quite a bit of undergrowth, largely birch
and ash saplings as well as nondescript bushes of various sorts. This time of
year visibility is quite restricted by all the leaves, but travel is quite
easy if you detour around the spruce and berry bushes.


You: walk west


Stranger: You are on a wide path in the midst of an open forest. To northwest the path
soon disappears in a deep and overgrown ravine, to southeast it winds its way
between the trees until it is finally hidden by the undergrowth.


You: examine ravine


Stranger: The entrance to the ravine reveals nothing except for a profusion of
greenery, encroaching on a narrow path.


You: jump into ravine


Stranger: I have no idea what "into" might be. I guess it could be mistyped "info", so
I'll assume that was what you meant.

Sorry, you are trying a command beyond my comprehension. Do remember that my
humble grasp of the English syntax is limited to commands of one or two words
- usually a verb on its own, or a verb followed by a noun.

windows, serving as a well house for a large spring.

might be.
