you find yourself sitting on the edge of a pool of water in
a vast chamber lit by dozens of flaring torches.
The floor is covered with thick layers of precious Persian rugs!
Rare coins, bars of silver, and lumps of gold and platinum 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 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!
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.
Everyone turns and sees you, and lets out a heart-warming cheer
of welcome!

roar, so loud that the entire cave seems to be trembling. Another
passage leads south, and a low crawl goes east.
PLACE BREATHTAKER
You're 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 every-
thing 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, foreboding passage exits to the south.
PLACE FACES
You're at the south end of the Valley of the Stone Faces.
%You are standing at the southern end of a long valley illuminated by
flickering red light from the volcanic gorge behind you. Carved
into the walls of the valley is 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 uncertainty of the light.
PLACE BY.FIGURE
You're at north end of the Valley of the Stone Faces.
%You are standing at the north end of the Valley of the Stone Faces.
Above you, an incredible bas-relief statue of an immense minotaur
has been carved out of the rock. At least sixty feet high, it sits
gazing down at you with a faint but definite expression of amusement.
Between its feet and the floor is a rock wall about ten feet high
which extends across the entire north end of the valley.
PLACE PLAIN.1
You're at south end of fog-filled room.
%You are standing at the southern end of what appears to be a
large room filled with multicolored fog. The sides and far end
of the room cannot be seen due to the thickness of the fog - it's
a real pea-souper (even to the color in places!). A passage leads
back to the south; a dull rumbling sound issues from the passage.

PLACE AUDIENCE
You're at west end of Audience Hall.
%You are standing at the west end of the royal Audience Hall.
The walls here are composed of the finest marble, and the floor is
built of slabs of rare onyx and bloodstone. The ceiling is high and
vaulted, and is supported by pillars of rare Egyptian red granite;
it gives off a nacreous glow that fills the entire chamber with
a light like moon-light shining off of polished silver.
PLACE AUDIENCE.E
You're at east end of Audience Hall.
%You are at the eastern end of the Audience Hall. There is a large
dais rising out of the floor here; resting upon the dais is a strange-
looking throne made out of interlocking bars and rods of metal.

walls are composed of rough red sandstone. There is a large, cubical
chunk of rock in the center of the room.
PLACE MORION
You're in the Morion room.
%You are in a small room. The walls are composed of a dark, almost
black form of smoky quartz; they glisten like teeth in the lamp-light.
The only exit is the passage to the south through which you entered.

Giant room) which has smooth, glassy-looking walls. A passage enters
from the south and exits to the north.
PLACE LAIR
You're in the 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.
PLACE BRINK.1
You're at 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.
PLACE BRINK.2
You're on southern edge of bottomless pit.
%You are standing at the south end of a ledge running around the west
side of a bottomless pit. The ledge once continued around to the east
side of the pit, but was apparently obliterated by a rock-slide
years ago. A cold wind blows out of a tunnel leading to the southeast.
PLACE ICE
You're in Ice room.
%You are in the Ice room. The walls and ceiling here are composed of
clear blue glacial ice; the floor is fortunately made of rock and
is easy to walk upon. There is a passage leading to the northwest,
and a slide of polished ice leading downwards to the east - if you
were to slide down it you probably couldn't get back up.
PLACE SLIDE
You're at bottom of icy slide.
%You're at the entrance to an extensive and intricate network of tunnels
carved out of solid ice. A slippery slope leads upwards and north, but
you cannot possibly climb up it.

in midair spell out the words "This way out".
PLACE BRINK.3
You're on eastern 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.
PLACE CRACK.1
You're in 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.

%You are in a very small chamber. A narrow crawl leads north.
PLACE ARCH.COR.1
You're in coral passage.
%You are in an arched coral passage which enters from the west, splits,
and continues on to the east over a smooth and damp-looking patch of
sand. The fork in the passage once led to the south, but it is now
completely blocked by debris.
PLACE ARCH.COR.2
You're at bend in arched coral corridor.
%You are at a bend in an arched corral passage; the passage enters
from the west over a patch of damp sand, turns, and continues north.
PLACE ARCH.FORK
You're at fork in arched corral passage.
%You are at a fork in a high, arched coral passage. The main portion
of the passage enters from the south; two smaller passages lead
east and north. The smell of salt water is very strong here.
PLACE JONAH
You're at entrance to the Jonah room.
%You are standing at the entrance of the Jonah room, a cavernous
hall with high ribbed walls. The hall extends far to the south;
a coral passage leads west.
PLACE IN.JONAH
You're at south end of the Jonah room.
%You are at the south end of the Jonah room. Ahead of you, the way
is barred by a large set of immense stalactites and stalagmites
which intermesh like clenched teeth. Nothing except blackness is
visible between the stone formations.
PLACE FOURIER
You're in the Fourier passage.
%You are in the Fourier passage. This is a long and highly convoluted
passage composed of coral, which twists and turns like the path of
an earthworm tripping on LSD. The passage here enters from the
northwest, convulses, and exits to the southwest (from which
direction can be felt a cool and salty-smelling breeze).
PLACE SHELF
You're on shelf of rock above beach.
%You are standing on a large shelf of sedementary rock overlooking
a lava beach. The shelf is an extension of an incredible cliff
which extends north, south, and upwards for as far as the eye can
see. Crudely carved steps lead down from the shelf to the beach, and
a twisting coral passage exits to the west.
PLACE BEACH
You're on beach.
%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 up the cliff to a
shelf of rock.
PLACE PLATFORM
You're on tiny platform above volcano.
%You are precariously perched on a tiny platform suspended in midair.
Two thousand feet below you is the mouth of a very active volcano,
spewing out a river of hot lava.
*
PLACE LIMBO
* Limbo is the normal holding area for objects that aren't
* currently visible in the cave. All special objects
* (dwarf, pirate, axe, treasure chest, pearl, etc) start
* out here and are moved to the apropriate places in the
* cave at the proper times. The nest of golden eggs
* ends up here the first time you give it to the troll
* and may be fetched back to the Giant room with the
* Fee Fie Foe Foo sequence; the second time you try to
* give it to the troll it ends up in Ylem (q.v.) and
* can't be gotten back. The Oyster starts out here and
* is swapped with the Clam when you succeed in opening the
* clam with the trident. Needless to say, there is no
* way that the adventurer should be able to get to Limbo
* (unless he is a wizard using the master-mode commands)
* since he could do all kinds of nasty things here (get the
* batteries without paying the coins, get the rug without
* first killing the dragon, get the food back after feeding
* the bear, move the clam to the house, etc.) Very nasty!
*
You are in Limbo.
%You are in Limbo (program bug!). Say OUT to get out of here.
PLACE YLEM
*
* Ylem must be the last place defined (following Limbo). It is
* intended as a trash-can place - objects moved to Ylem are
* forever inaccessable (coding convention only - no enforcement
* by the handlers). Currently Ylem is used as follows: if
* you cheat the troll out of the nest of golden eggs (as you
* must if you wish to get full score) and then try to bribe
* him with them a second time, he lets them sail into the chasm
* and demands something else; the eggs are moved to Ylem, and
* the Fee Fie Foe Foo logic will recognize this and refuse to
* fetch them back to the Giant room again. Ylem is also used
* in the fall-to-a-painful-death logic (label SPLATTER and
* a couple of miscellaneous calls also) so that if you fall from
* someplace and would end up lying dead at some location
* that isn't really defined (the bottom of the chasm,
* in the volcanic gorge, etc) the things you were carrying
* get deposited in an inaccessable location.
*
You are in Ylem.
%You are in Ylem (circular file for objects).
