New Quest
Treguard> Let us see, who is brave enough to path through the dungeon. Enter Strangers. Who Challenges my dungeon?
Forester> I do
Treguard> You have some small previous experience of dungeoneering I hope?
Forester> Yes
Treguard> Very Well Then
Treguard> Now let me explain the rules of the dungeon to you. You have a knapsack with which you must put food into. You also have a life force. To feed your life force, you must place any food in this knapsack, but place only food there, for any other objects will also be consumed.
Treguard> When you put food into your knapsack, your life force will go to what is known as condition green. If you tread badly on the path you will lose one grade of life force. Tread badly again and you will perish. Also, I Treguard will be your guide. I will describe objects and settings to you and even talk you through conversations with any people you may meet, friend or foe unfortunately.
Tregaurd1> Any movement you want to make must be done through me. REMEMBER THAT I CAN DESCRIBE OBJECTS TO YOU IF YOU WISH, but I am not allowed to tell you what to do or pick up.
Forester> ok
Tregaurd1> In this realm lie four of the classic quest objects. Decide now which will be the object of your quest : The cup that heals which some call the chalice, the the sword of freedom, the crown in glory or the shield in justice.
Forester> The cup please
Tregaurd1> Okay, off you go. Oh I'm sorry I didn't ask you if you had any last requests, but you're not going to turn back now are you?
Forester> Nope
Tregaurd1> (phew) Very well, turn then, face the door and take a step forwards
Tregaurd1> PLEASE WAIT
Tregaurd1> You emerge in a supply chamber. The room itself is made out of oak. There are various drapings on the walls each with their own symbols. Some symbols depict famous battles, others of special events and occasions. There is an ordinary table in front of you. The table is used for banquets mainly, but it seems that some people have left some objects on the table. There is an exit at the far side of the room.
Forester> Walk up to the table
Tregaurd1> There are some objects on the table. They include: Scroll Meat Horn Gold Silver Potion
Forester> Read the scroll
Tregaurd1> I can describe an object
Tregaurd1> The scroll says: Go covertly, making too much noise might be unwise, but don't miss the opportunity to shop around! There is also a news flash: EMERGENCY, WE NEED YOUR GEMSTONES TO FEED OUR DRAGONS. ANY FIRESTONE COLOUR CONSIDERED, HELPERS WILL BE REWARDED!
Forester> Describe the horn
Tregaurd1> The horn looks as ordinary as any other horn. It is 30cm though which is small for its size.
Forester> Are there any markings on the walls that represent an item?
Tregaurd1> No
Tregaurd1> Do you want any other descriptions?
Forester> Please
Tregaurd1> Its a bar of gold. Just like any other.
Tregaurd1> The potion has the label CLOAK on it
Tregaurd1> what did the scroll say?
Forester> Go covertly, making too much noise might be unwise, but don't miss the opportunity to shop around! There is also a news flash: EMERGENCY, WE NEED YOUR GEMSTONES TO FEED OUR DRAGONS. ANY FIRESTONE COLOUR CONSIDERED, HELPERS WILL BE REWARDED!
Tregaurd1> Hmmm. could be a hint :-)
Forester> I realise that
Forester> Can u describe the meat and silver as well
Tregaurd1> You pick up the meat for nourishment
Forester> Take the potion and the horn
Tregaurd1> Are you sure?
Forester> Yes
Tregaurd1> POSITIVE???
Forester> No Potion and gold
Tregaurd1> You pick up the items
Forester> Take the exit
Tregaurd1> You exit through the doorway. Coming out of the small wooden building, you make your way down a narrow set of stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, you look in front of you. You see many houses all around you, and a market place further in front of you. Close by to you though is a man at a market stall who seems to be eyeing you up. He says: Roll up, Roll up, bargains galore me ladies and gentlemen. You Sir, you.
Forester> Walk up to the man and say hi what do you have on sale for a bar of gold
Tregaurd1> Well many things
Forester> What's on display at his table
Tregaurd1> clothes, spells, books, that sort of thing if you know what I mean.
Tregaurd1> Loads of stuff. In fact there's so much, I had to move house!
Forester> Is there anyone else who stands out amongst the crowd in the market?
Tregaurd1> NO. just town folk. "Well team, it seems that you will have to do some bargaining, but what do you need?"
Forester> What spells are on offer
Tregaurd1> well, I have a SUICIDE spell, but it's rather pricey, and you look the sort of type who wouldn't want such nasty dangerous rubbish
Forester> Ok what are the books
Tregaurd1> Metamorphs and other comedians. Tulips and Daffodils. Ogres eat their housewives
Forester> Ask the trader if there's anything he wants
Tregaurd1> Yeah, I want your gold. But what do you want?
Tregaurd1> the scroll- DRAGONS!
Tregaurd1> what can you do team?
Forester> Does he have gemstones?
Tregaurd1> [Sorry, there's a fault in word but we'll carry on anyway]
Tregaurd1> Well I have loads of gemstones, ahhh. Now here's something you might like. A firestone?
Forester> Do a trade for it with the gold
Tregaurd1> I don't know what you'd want with it though. What would you need it for?
Forester> A friend
Tregaurd1> Ladyfriend? Oooh aye
Forester> Yes. And do u want the bar of gold for it or shall I take my business else where kind sir
Tregaurd1> Ah Gold. Good. There you go. I'm glad you didn't give me silver. Everyone's always doing that. Bloody cheapskates!
Tregaurd1> You take the firestone
Forester> Take the exit
Tregaurd1> Tara. Young sir. Ooh. and put a good word in for me for your ladyfriend! "you exit"
Tregaurd1> You emerge at the back of some houses. Ahead of you is an exit, but between you and the exit is a goblin.
Forester> Drink the cloak potion
Tregaurd1> You use the potion, and become invisible.
Forester> Sneak past the goblin and take the exit
Tregaurd1> You walk towards the exit and go through unnoticed. The potion wears off just as you make it through the doorway.
Tregaurd1>You emerge in a room with two people in it. One person is tending to a dragon, and the other is looking anxiously around the room.
Forester> Ask the anxious person what is wrong
Tregaurd1> Ah hello there. I am Rubbles, master of the dragon transportation system, best in these lands. Well, only one in these lands in fact. What is it that I can do for you?
Forester> I'm looking for a way to level 2
Tregaurd1> Hmm, well I have loads of dragons which could take you there
Tregaurd1> but there all sick you see
Forester> Ask if we can go there if we help make them better
Tregaurd1> How will you make them better?
Forester> I have a Firestone
Tregaurd1> Ok.
Tregaurd1> can i have it?
Tregaurd1> please?
Forester> Yes if we can get to level 2 in exchange
Tregaurd1> Thank you for the fire stone. I'm sure our dragons will be grateful. In return for you generosity, I will give you both the code to the causeway on this level and free passage to level 2. How does that grab you? The code is GREEN, YELLOW, RED, ORANGE. Okay. Oh. And you'll meet the dragon at the end of this level, I believe his name is Smirkenorff ? Seya.
Forester> Thank you
Forester> Take the exit
Tregaurd1> You emerge in a room. The room itself is poorly lit, but in front of you, you can see rows of hexagons leading towards an exit on the other side of the room. You walk up to the first row of hexagons.

Tregaurd1> correct
Tregaurd1> Q. Which is greater. The deepest chasm under the sea or the highest mountain in the sky?
Forester> Deepest chasm

Forester> Put food in Knapp sack and take exit
Tregaurd1> You exit the room and appear in a small room with a door at the other end. As you move further into the room, the door opens and you see a dragon.
Forester> Walk up to the dragon
Tregaurd1> You walk up to the dragon. You see a seat in front of you
Forester> Take seat
Forester> i.e. Sit down on it
Tregaurd1> "Ooooh the cheek of it! Why do you sit down here?"

Tregaurd1> oh okay then. where abouts in level 2 would you like to go?
Forester> What choices have I got? If it helps I'm on a quest for the cup
Tregaurd1> ooh, don't get on your high dragon!

Tregaurd1> The mirror is scratched so much that you can't make out your reflection.
Forester> Take it
Treguard> Ok, you pick up the mirror
Treguard> You exit the room and appear in a dark hallway. You can't see your way, so you don't know where the exits are.
Forester> Use candle and match
Treguard> You light the candle. You can now see the exit which really isn't that far ahead of you.
Forester> Take the exit
Treguard> You emerge in a room. Ahead of you is a man who is guarding the exit. He looks towards you and says: Either give me the password, or pay passage to exit this facility.
Forester> Have I been given any passwords?
Treguard> No
Forester> Ask what the toll is
Treguard> The toll is a bar of gold

Forester> Tell him I will deal with his master
Treguard> "I don't think so. He'll kill you!"
Forester> He need not worry
Treguard> No.
Forester> Look at the mirror or try getting a reflection of things in the area
Treguard> "Hmmm. Not too sure what you mean by that Sir. I like the mirror though"
Forester> Tell him to look at the mirror
Treguard> The man looks in the mirror and he disappears. Looking at the mirror, you see him trapped inside
