Treguard> "You reach the other side of the room. On the floor in front of you is a red stone, while to your right is an exit."
Treguard> you are carrying nothing
Jon> Nic: I guess we want the stone then
Nicholas> Jon: The clue we had last week from 'The Soul of Wisdom' said that we need a stone for the dragon, so I think we should take it
Fear> That red stone was always a nuisance
Nicholas> Pick up the stone
Treguard> "You pick up the fire stone"
Nicholas> Exit the room
Treguard> You enter a stone room. In the room is a bench with a man sitting on it. Further ahead of him is an exit. The man gets up and starts talking to you. "Either give me the password or answer three of my riddles! I don't think you'd be able to answer any looking at the size of your head!"
Treguard> Ha!
Nicholas> Jon: I dont think we have a password?
Treguard> Come on out with it!!!
Jon> Nic: neither do I. Looks like the riddles then
Treguard> Or I'll lob your head off!
Nicholas> We'll answer the riddles
Treguard> Hmmmm?
Treguard> Right then
Treguard> Here it is
Treguard> "Very well then. Now I will say the first part of a proverb, and you must attempt to finish it off. You must however answer two correctly to proceed. Two or more will get you through, but failing twice or even thrice You may take as long as you wish, but I should hurry up, you do look a bit peaky. Here is my first.
Treguard> Don't go near the water…
Jon> Nic: any ideas? I haven't...
Nicholas> Jon: None here either. I was never any good at these.
Treguard> One proverb, one answer, name it!
Nicholas> Pass
Treguard> [until you learn how to swim]
Treguard> Here is my second
Treguard> Dead men…
Treguard> Well?
Jon> Nic: erm...

Jon> Never mind... they were pretty nasty...
Treguard> Do you give up?
Jon> Nic: I do...
Nicholas> OK We don't have much choice
Treguard> "You are pathetic, and I hate all pathetic creatures. They don't deserve to wander these dungeons. I will do everyone a favour, and put and end to your quest. Spell Casting H-O-L-E." With that, a large hole opens in the ground underneath you. As you fall, you think of what your quest might have been like. Just before you see the object of your quest in your mind, you are impaled by a stalagmite."
Treguard> Ooooh Nasty
Treguard> Well team, you just didn't answer enough correctly. Never mind. Good try though
Treguard> Spell casting
Treguard> D I S M I S S
Treguard> [but please do stay!]
Fear> Yupp
Mystara> Cool :)
Alex> Those were REALLY nasty!
Treguard> oh aye
Treguard> I got them specially from a proverb website
New Quest
Treguard> There are still challengers which await to take the challenge of completing my dungeon, but who will step first? Let's find out. Enter Strangers. Who Challenges my dungeon?
Fear> Is it us now?
Treguard> You alone Fear?
Treguard> Or do you have a team?
Fear> I have a few tame monsters but they cannot spell
Treguard> I assume you have had some previous knowledge of dungeoneering?
Mystara> LOL
Fear> Not a lot
Treguard> Really? I would have thought somone like yourself would have had loads! :-)
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. 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 lif
* Mystara ROFL
Treguard> 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. Any movement you want to make must be done through me.
Treguard> 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. In this realm lie four of the classic quest objects.
Treguard> 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.
Fear> Cup
Treguard> Ahhhh the cup heh?
Fear> Nobody says Ahh to me and lives
Treguard> Haaaaa!
Treguard> Okay, off you go. Are you sure that you want to proceed?
Fear> sure
Treguard> Very well, turn then, face the door and take a step forwards, the dungeon awaits.
Treguard> My dungeon that is.
Treguard> haaa haaaa haaa haaaaaaaaa
Treguard> You enter a cavernish looking room with some stalactites and stalagmites growing from the floor and ceiling. In front of you though is a table with some promising looking objects on it.
Fear> promises, promises
Fear> Yupp
Treguard> well?
Treguard> You're wasting life force
Treguard> Your life force is now down to condition yellow
Treguard> Hurry!
Fear> What's on the table?
Treguard> The objects are as follows: a pineapple, a scroll, a talisman, an egg timer, a bar of gold.
Treguard> Remember I can describe the objects
Fear> Read the scroll
Treguard> "The scroll says: You'll need plenty of good luck where you'll be going, but be careful. Don't count your chickens until they're hatched."
Fear> describe the talisman
Treguard> "The talisman has a diameter of 4cm, circular, and has a cross inside it."
Fear> Hokay, we'll take the talisman and the egg timer
Treguard> OK you pick up those objects
Treguard> You better had find food fast
Fear> Normally I'd eat the pineappale
Treguard> Could be a life saver in times of trouble!
Fear> Ok I've eat it. Don't nag
Treguard> You put the food in your knapsack
Treguard> Suddenly a goblin comes behind you
Treguard> Quick!!!
Fear> Out of here
Treguard> You exit the room and enter another room with a woman in it. The woman is standing totally still.
Treguard> The woman doesn't respond. It's as if she's frozen. What can you do to help her?
Treguard> The woman doesn't respond
Treguard> She can't
Fear> I think we'd better wave this old talisman across her
Treguard> You wave the talisman over her. Nothing happens
Fear> Women are like that
Fear> We could set fire to her toes?
Treguard> Don't be nasty
Fear> Act of desparation actually
Treguard> What else could you do?
Fear> Not a lot without getting arrested
Treguard> Come on team, think
Fear> OK, we'll set off the egg timer
Fear> but there's not much logic in it
Treguard> You put the egg timer on the floor. After a few seconds, the grains of sand start to shift and then start moving. The woman jerks suddenly. "And there's no need to.. Oh you there…."
Treguard> What happened?
Treguard> I was talking to this man
Treguard> and suddenly, I cam over all funny
Treguard> Who are you?
Fear> So what about this woman then
Treguard> Hey!! I'm talking to you
Treguard> What is your name
Treguard> Come on then!
Fear> 14 minutes to dinner
Treguard> What is your name
Treguard> I am Birena
Treguard> What's yours
Treguard> Hmmm?
Fear> Fear
Treguard> Ahh. That's a strange name isn't it?
Fear> But you can call me milord
Treguard> Well. What exactly happened to me?
Treguard> I was talking to a man
Treguard> and I suddenly came over all cold
Treguard> Listen
Treguard> I see that you've helped me
Treguard> so
Treguard> Well what can I gift you with? Ah I know, in return for your kindness, I gift you with a spell. It's a pathetic little spell really, but I have found it to be quite useful. It's called REVEAL. Ok. Thanks again for your help! Oh, and by the way, take the path of UK primary colours on the causeway. If you don't, then I should imagine that you will, well, fall to where you will be eaten alive by red dragons! But, don't let me put you
Treguard> NOTE DOWN THE SPELL
Fear> Yupp
Treguard> You exit the room and proceed down a narrow corridor. The corridor itself is dank and dismal. Passing one small arched window, you exit through a portal. You enter a room with a causeway on. There are 5 rows of hexagons. The rows increase and decrease in size as they go along. You walk up to the first row.
Fear> OK
Treguard> Stage 1:
Treguard> Blue, Green
Fear> Blue
Treguard> Stage 2:
Treguard> Purple, Green, Yellow
Fear> Green
Fear> yupp
Treguard> You step on the hexagon, and it crumbles beneath your feet pulling you to YOUR doom.
Treguard> Never mind team, at least you made the dragons happy by filling their ever lasting empty stomach!
Treguard> Yellow was the correct one team
Treguard> I can't believe you failed so soon in your quest
Treguard> Never mind
Treguard> You did try
Fear> Thanks for having us folks
Treguard> OK
Fear> Must eat dinner now
Treguard> Thanks for coming
Fear> Yupp
Fear> Any questions before I sign off?
Forester> Can we copy tapes of Knightmare?
Fear> Don't see why not - I cannot stop you
Mystara> Will you join our assassination squad to CITV?
Fear> You cannot kill dead men
Mystara> hehehehe
Mystara> Will you be back soon?
Fear> Not this evening
Mystara> awww
Forester> Bye
Fear> Goodnight all
Mystara> bye
Treguard> Seya
