You are in a strange location, but you cannot remember how you got here. Everything is hazy, as though viewed through a gauze...

You are on a path through a blighted forest. The trees are sickly, and there is no undergrowth at all. One tree here looks climbable. The path, which ends here, continues to the northeast.

A hellhound is racing straight toward you, its open jaws displaying rows of razor-sharp teeth.

You are on a large gnarled branch of an old and twisted tree.

A giant boa constrictor is slithering along the branch toward you!
The hellhound leaps madly about the base of the tree, gnashing its jaws.

There is an almost blinding flash of light as the spell book begins to glow! It slowly fades to a less painful level, but the spell book is now quite usable as a light source.

Your Quarters, in the bed
This is your chamber in the Hall of the Guild of Enchanters, with a doorway to the west. A private chamber is a great privilege, especially for an Enchanter as young as yourself, but how many Enchanters can say they defeated the infamous Krill?

Hallway (you are flying)
Rooms lie to the east and west from this north-south corridor. A heavy wooden door, currently closed, leads north.
Tacked to the doorframe of your room is a note, hurriedly scribbled on parchment.

You examine note
gpt
"I have taken the apprentices into town to shop for the Guild picnic. I tried rousing you, but you seemed deep asleep. By the way, have you seen Belboz anywhere? It's not like him to leave without telling someone -- but then, he's been acting pretty odd of late.

You settle gently to the ground.

The meeting place of the Circle of Enchanters is a large, round room with a high domed ceiling. A table occupies the center of the room. Engraved on the wall is a list of tenets, the Guild's code of honor. The only door, at the southernmost point of the perimeter, is open.
human
You read the tenets
gpt
The first tenet states that Enchanters may never use their talents to aid evil. The second points out that an Enchanter's duty is to the Guild and to the Kingdom, not to the individual. Lesser tenets include rules for conducting votes at meetings, guidelines for passing dishes at Guild banquets, and penalties for revealing the Guild's secret handshake.

The personal chamber of Belboz, who presides over the Circle of Enchanters, is appointed with a beautiful woven wall hanging, an exotic morgia plant, and a wide darkwood desk crafted by the artisans of Gurth. The hallway lies to the east.
Pacing back and forth on a perch in the corner is Belboz's prized pet parrot, native to the jungles of Miznia.

The personal chamber of Belboz, who presides over the Circle of Enchanters, is appointed with a beautiful woven wall hanging, an exotic morgia plant, and a wide darkwood desk crafted by the artisans of Gurth. The hallway lies to the east.
Pacing back and forth on a perch in the corner is Belboz's prized pet parrot, native to the jungles of Miznia.
The desk drawer contains:

You see nothing special about the morgia plant.

You are now somewhat thirsty.

"Squawk! You should never have let down your mindshield, you doddering old Enchanter. Squawk!"
human
You look at wall hanging
gpt
It is a beautiful piece of local handiwork, given to Belboz by the grateful townspeople after his (admittedly showy) pyrotechnical destruction of the evil giant Amathradonis. The hanging is affixed to the wall at its upper corners.

As you move the tapestry, a key falls out from behind it and lands on the floor.

Open journal
gpt
The journal is already open!

"Squawk! This tea is cold! Get me another cup. Squawk!"
human
You read the journal
gpt
You skim through the pages of the journal, a combination diary and notebook. Most of the notations, written in Belboz's familiar flowing script, deal with meetings of the Circle and business of the Guild.

There is one interesting entry toward the end of the book. Belboz refers to an ancient and evil force known simply as Jeearr, a demon whose powers could endanger the Circle and possibly the entire kingdom. He has decided to conduct some dangerous exploratory experiments, operating alone to shield the Circle from the perils involved.

The last three entries are strange and frightening -- written in a hand quite different from that of Belboz, and in a language totally unfamiliar to you.

On the inside cover is an inscription, written in a light script, which reads "Current code: dorn".
human
You go to the east

Rooms lie to the east and west from this north-south corridor. A heavy wooden door, currently open, leads north.
Tacked to the doorframe of your room is a note, hurriedly scribbled on parchment.

This is the entrance lobby of the Guild Hall. Befitting the status and wealth of the Guild, the lobby is finished with polished Antharian marble, inlaid with intricate patterns of silver leaf. To the north is a wide arch, and smaller openings flank the area on the eastern and western sides, as well as the northeastern and northwestern corners. A narrow stair leads downward. Through another arch to the south, you can see the entrance steps and the main road into town.
Affixed to the southern arch is an ornate brass receptacle, intended for use by messengers.

Opening the receptacle reveals an issue of Popular Enchanting.

You are now quite hungry.

This month's cover story is about Belboz! Other stories relate the explosion of spell scroll manufacturers, and the coming shakedown in the magic potion industry. The address label on the cover reads:

Opening the ochre vial reveals ochre potion.
human
Drink potion
gpt
The potion was completely tasteless. You no longer feel hungry and thirsty, though.
human
You look at the calendar
gpt
The calendar is for the current year, 957 GUE, and bears many stunning pictures: the marble mines of Antharia, the sand dunes of the Kovalli Desert, ancient Fort Griffspotter, and the giant infotater factories of Borphee. A legend reads "Best wishes for a leak-less year, from the Accardi Plumbers Guild."

You go northwest
gpt
This is a large hall where the Guild's young apprentices live and study as they strive to achieve a seat on the Circle. You think back to the days when you occupied these quarters. The apprentices are gone, having accompanied Frobar into town to shop. You can leave to the southeast.
human
Go southeast

This is the entrance lobby of the Guild Hall. Befitting the status and wealth of the Guild, the lobby is finished with polished Antharian marble, inlaid with intricate patterns of silver leaf.

Go northeast
gpt
This is a sparsely furnished living area for the servants of the Guild. None are in sight; presumably they are out doing their daily errands. You can leave to the southwest.
human
You go east
gpt
This is a study chamber for members of the Guild. Usually, there would be several elder Enchanters patiently training novices, but no one is here at the moment. The only exit is west.
Lying open on a stand in one corner is a heavy volume, probably a copy of the Encyclopedia Frobizzica.
The servants have been lax lately, for a scroll is lying among the dust in the corner.
human
You read Encyclopedia
gpt
It would take days to read the entire encyclopedia. A better idea would be to read about specific persons or things.
human
You look up the dorn in Encyclopedia

The spot where the entry should be is blank, as though the text were magically excised or transported to some other location.

You look up the rezrov in Encyclopedia

The capital and biggest city in Frobozz, and the center of the spell scroll and infotater industries. The port of Borphee is the busiest on the Flathead Ocean.

gpt
There is a small entry about Belboz, mentioning that he is the Guildmaster of the Accardi Chapter of the Guild of Enchanters, and has served three terms as kingdomwide Secretary of the Guild.

The scroll reads "meef spell: cause plants to wilt".
human
Gnusto meef

Your spell book begins to glow softly. Slowly, ornately, the words of the meef spell are inscribed, glowing even more brightly than the book itself. The book's brightness fades, but the spell remains! However, the scroll on which it was written vanishes as the last word is copied.

You are in the basement of the Guild Hall. A steep, narrow stair leads upward from the southwest corner.
At the far end of the cellar, draped in cobwebs, is a large trunk. At each corner of its lid is a button: a black button with a picture of a star, a gray button depicting the moon, a red button illustrated with a bloody knife, and a purple button engraved with a royal crown. In the center of the lid is a white button picturing a dove in flight.

The scroll reads "aimfiz spell: transport caster to someone else's location". The spell seems very long and extremely complicated.

Gnusto aimfiz

Your spell book begins to glow softly. In a spectacular effort of magic, the powers of the gnusto spell attempt to copy the aimfiz spell into your book, but the spell is too long, too complicated, and too powerful. The glow fades, but fortunately the moldy scroll remains intact.

You wake up
gpt
As you wake up, Frobar sticks his head in the door and invites you shopping. When you return late that evening, you find the Guild Hall sacked, and many fellow Enchanters slaughtered. Servants of evil, teeth smeared with blood, fall upon you as well. A menacing voice echoes about the room. "Pathetic Enchanters ... Who can save you now?"

Some days it just doesn't pay to wake up.
Your score is 0 of a possible 400, in 0 moves. This puts you in the class of Charlatan.

Elbow Room (you are flying)
The tunnel turns a corner here. You could go either north or east.

You settle gently to the ground.
human
You go to the north
gpt
This is a tall room flooded with light from an unseen source. The only exit is south.
Growing in the center of the room is a tree, thick with foliage. As though to disprove the ancient adage, every branch, bow, and twig has a zorkmid coin growing on it.

You are getting more and more tired.
human
You get the zorkmid coin
gpt
As you pluck the first zorkmid, the tree shimmers and vanishes! (I guess it was just an illusion.) You are left holding a solitary zorkmid coin.
human
You look at it
gpt
The coin pictures a man with an incredibly flat head, wearing a gaudy crown.
human
Sleep
gpt
Ah, sleep! It's been a long day and rest will do you good. You spread your cloak on the floor and drift off, renewing your powers and refreshing your mind. Time passes as you snore blissfully.

You have entered a large room whose walls are covered with intricate carvings. The largest and most striking carving, on the southern wall, is of a huge sleeping dragon! A winding tunnel leads north.
human
You go to the southwest
gpt
This looks like the entrance to a run-down amusement park, no longer gaudy with lights and glitter. A sign above the entrance proclaims "Welcome to Bozbarland - The Entertainment Capital of the Empire." The park lies to the west and a tunnel leads northeast.
human
Go west
gpt
You bounce off an invisible barrier. A moment later a gnome appears, dressed in a gaudy plaid outfit. "Admission to the park is only one zorkmid. What a bargain, chum, eh?"

You give the zorkmid to the gnome

"Okay, you can go through now, bub. Enjoy your trip to Bozbarland." The gnome vanishes as suddenly as he appeared.

You enter boat
gpt
As you enter the log boat, it lurches away from the platform and is carried swiftly away by the current of the flume. An amusement park nymph appears for a moment, warning you not to leave the log boat during the course of the ride.

The flume is wide here, and straight as an arrow. The ride is quite relaxing.

The log boat leaves the tunnel and passes through a series of rapids, shooting straight toward jagged rocks and then veering away at the last moment!

Magically, the flume flows uphill here! The current slows as the boat climbs and climbs...

Roller Coaster, in the car

You reach the crest, the highest point of the roller coaster! The park is laid out beneath you like a map; the lights of the midway, the booths of the arcade, the sparkling blue ribbon of water that must be the flume. In the distance is a wide crater. The sounds and smells of the park seem distant, and time feels suspended for a moment.

Roller Coaster, in the car

The breath is swept from your lungs as the car begins diving, seemingly straight downward. You rise from the seat as the ground rushes closer! At the last moment, the car swings upward, and your stomach settles in your ankles.
human
You wait awhile
gpt
Time passes...

The car zips through a series of wild turns and sharp drops. Wooden roller coaster supports whiz past, inches from your head!
human
Wait
gpt
Time passes...

This section of track is shaped like a corkscrew, and as the car hurtles forward it turns upside down almost every second. It is impossible to tell up from down, as the ground seems to spin around you.
human
You wait for a while
gpt
Time passes...

The car shoots into a rapid climb, which gets progressively slower and steeper. Your heart beats wildly as the track begins to swing back above you, and you realize that you are entering a giant loop!
human
Wait
gpt
Time passes...

As you reach the highest point of the loop, you hang completely upside-down for a brief moment. The blood rushes to your head as the ground suspended "above" you like a canopy. Then, you hurtle down the far side of the loop with breakneck speed!
human
You wait
gpt
Time passes...

The roller coaster speeds out of the loop and into a tunnel, which seems to run through the middle of a haunted house! Wispy ghosts and ghoulish skeletons brush past you.

Time passes...

The car zooms out into daylight, and glides to a stop at the boarding platform.

This is a huge tent filled with hectic noise, blinking lights, and the smell of frying food. Near the exit is a game booth lined with prizes. The concept of the game seems to be bashing cute little mechanical bunnies with a rubber ball as they hop around a little artificial meadow.
A hawker stands within the booth, studying you through half-closed eyes.
"C'mon, pal!" cries the hawker from the game booth. "Try your luck!" He holds the ball out toward you.

Hall of the Guild of Enchanters
Village of Accardi-By-The-Sea
Land of Frobozz"

Sleep
gpt
Ah, sleep! It's been a long day and rest will do you good. You spread your cloak on the floor and drift off, renewing your powers and refreshing your mind. Time passes as you snore blissfully.

You dream of dancing penguins in formal dress. One has a particularly nice tuxedo and a cane with a gold top. You awaken and stand.
human
Gnusto fweep
gpt
Your spell book begins to glow softly. Slowly, ornately, the words of the fweep spell are inscribed, glowing even more brightly than the book itself. The book's brightness fades, but the spell remains! However, the scroll on which it was written vanishes as the last word is copied.

You read vial
gpt
Which vial do you mean, the amber vial, the aqua vial, the indigo vial, or the orange vial?

Pulver water
gpt
The water recedes for a moment, then swirls back.
human
You look
gpt
This is a hollow area under the northeast bank of the river. The floor rises away from the mouth of the cave, which is at its southwest end. The mouth is filled with a pool of swirling water. A dark hole leads downward at the far end of the cave.
There is an issue of Popular Enchanting here.
human
You go to the southwest
gpt
Entering that swirling, turbulent pool looks very dangerous.
human
Go downward
gpt
In the center of the room is a deep pit filled with countless bones, an indication of the brutality of dungeon life. There are exits south and southwest. High above you is a small opening in the ceiling.

human
You go to the east
gpt
A magnificent cast-iron cannon stands atop the battlement. Its wide, shallow barrel points toward the ocean, as though daring enemy ships to approach.
The cannon contains:
a pile of identical scrolls
human
You put the guano in the cannon
gpt
When you drop the guano into the barrel, the scrolls sprout feet and spill out of the cannon, dashing away in every direction! A single ordinary scroll is left sitting at the bottom of the barrel.
human
You read it
gpt
The scroll reads "yonk spell: augment the power of certain spells". The spell seems very long and extremely complicated.
human
You go southwest
gpt
Once the armory for the fort, this room has been picked clean by vandals and soldiers of fortune. Exit north or northeast.

You go north
gpt
You are at the center of a level field inside the fort. Entrances to rooms around the perimeter lie in several directions.

human
Go northwest
gpt
River Bank (you are flying)
You are on a muddy bank of a fast-moving river, full of sharp rocks and foaming rapids, flowing to the southwest. The ground is soft and eroded, and continually threatens to dump you into the turbulent waters. A field lies to the southwest, and a trail leads southeast along the bank.
human
Go southwest
gpt
Meadow (you are flying)
You are in the center of a barren field. To the east is the turret of a ruined castle, and from the northeast comes the sound of rushing water.

You settle gently to the ground.

A swarm of bloodsucking locusts appears on the horizon.
human
You open aqua
gpt
Opening the aqua vial reveals aqua potion.
human
You drink the aqua potion
gpt
The aqua potion tasted like lime jelly, and sent vibrations through your muscles.
human
You throw the ball at bunny
gpt
A tremendous pitch sends a bunny spinning. "What an arm, kid, what an arm!" cries the hawker. He hands you a glittering scroll from the shelf of prizes. "Here's your prize, now scram."
human
You read the scroll
gpt
Which scroll do you mean, the glittering scroll or the ordinary scroll?
human
You read glittering
gpt
The scroll reads "malyon spell: bring life to inanimate objects".
human
Gnusto malyon
gpt
Your spell book begins to glow softly. Slowly, ornately, the words of the malyon spell are inscribed, glowing even more brightly than the book itself. The book's brightness fades, but the spell remains! However, the scroll on which it was written vanishes as the last word is copied.

Malyon dragon

The dragon seems to shiver for a moment, but that is all.
human
Yonk
gpt
What do you want to yonk?
human
Yonk malyon
gpt
As you cast the spell, the ordinary scroll vanishes!

The words of the spell glow brightly for a moment.
human
Malyon dragon
gpt
The dragon is suddenly imbued with life and begins to move. It shakes itself loose from the wall, which crumbles down upon the dragon, revealing a southward passage! The dragon howls with pain and anger. Spotting you, the dragon rears back its head, smoke billowing from its nostrils. Then, just as it seems that you will be barbecued, the dragon reverts to stone!
human
Go west
gpt
You are at the eastern end of a long midway. The park entrance lies to the east, and rides lie to the north and south.

Your muscles feel limp for a moment.
human
Malyon bunnies
gpt
The bunnies hop away and the startled hawker scrambles after them. He returns a moment later, holding the again inanimate bunnies, and gives you a nasty glare.
human
Go south
gpt
The walls and ceiling of this room are covered with soot and held up by timbers which don't look very sturdy. A winding tunnel leads north. From the east comes a sulfurous odor.
human
You open orange
gpt
Opening the orange vial reveals orange potion.
human
You drink orange POTION
gpt
Uh oh. The orange potion seems to be having an unpleasant reaction with the aqua potion. Your left ear turns into a carnivorous toad and devours your brain.

" he asks, writing frantically in a notebook. "I'd love to chat, but we're so busy this month." The angel twitches his nose, and the nothingness is replaced by...

You are standing on the drawbridge of a ruined castle which lies to your east. The wood of the bridge looks severely rotted and creaks ominously beneath you. The moat, although an easy dive from here, looks dangerous, full of sinister shapes beneath the surface of the water. To the west is a wide field.
With a scream of splintering wood, part of the drawbridge collapses and spills you into the moat. You are immediately set upon by alligators and piranhas.

 (Type RESTART, RESTORE, or QUIT):
human
Wait
gpt
Time passes...

Your muscles feel limp for a moment.
human
You go to the east
gpt
There is a rumbling noise behind you as the ceiling of the tunnel collapses, blocking your retreat! The air smells strongly of coal gas. Good thing you took that vilstu potion.

This is obviously the heart of a large coal mine, illuminated by a wall-mounted lamp. The bottom of a metal coal chute is visible at the north end of the room. Another chute continues downward at the southern end. A large coal bin is overflowing, and the floor is completely covered with lumps of coal. A passage leads east, but a western passage is blocked by rubble.
human
You examine the coal
gpt
You see nothing special about lumps of coal.

Someone slides out of the coal chute, and lands near the bin. Although your clothes are much cleaner and less torn, the stranger looks virtually like your own twin!
human
You examine the twin
gpt
Although your clothes are much cleaner and less torn, the stranger looks virtually like your own twin! The stranger is carrying a smelly scroll.

A few lumps of coal spill from the coal chute.

Your disheveled "twin" is having difficulty breathing, but gasps, "The combination is 112." Your older self then looks at you, almost expectantly.
human
You read the smelly scroll
gpt
Your twin refuses to part with the smelly scroll.
The scroll reads "vardik spell: shield a mind from an evil spirit".

"Give me...the spell book," croaks your older self.

You give the spell book to the twin
gpt
Your older self accepts the spell book gratefully.

Your older self dives into the lower chute.
human
Go east
gpt
On the eastern wall is a heavy door with a dial set into it. There is a sign on the door. Another exit leads west, and a wall-mounted lamp provides illumination. The floor is deeply covered with lumps of coal.
human
You examine the dial
gpt
Set in the door is a large circular dial which can be set to any number up to 873. It is currently set to 0.
human
Rezrov door
gpt
The door swings open as a loud alarm sounds. Laser beams criss-cross the room, glinting off the blades of the thousand flying daggers. A hundred well-armed and vicious kobolds rush into the room, swinging battle axes.

You are beginning to tire.
human
Go northwest
gpt
You are in a winding tunnel in a large coal mine. Passages lead off in many directions.
Lying near the mouth of one passage is a wooden timber, probably left over from the construction of the mine.

Your load is too heavy, especially in light of your exhaustion.

Before you fall asleep you pass out from the bad air.

Go west
gpt
You are at the western end of the coal mine. A metal chute leads downward.
human
Go downwards
gpt
Wheee!!! As you whiz down the chute, you notice a flash of orange light spilling from an opening onto the chute. You land beside an enormous bin of coal.

This is obviously the heart of a large coal mine, illuminated by a wall-mounted lamp. The bottom of a metal coal chute is visible at the north end of the room. Another chute continues downward at the southern end. A large coal bin is overflowing, and the floor is completely covered with lumps of coal. A passage leads east, but a western passage is blocked by rubble.
human
You tie the rope to the chute
gpt
You can't tie the rope to that.

A troglodyte trundles in and dumps a load of coal into the chute.
human
You examine the troglodyte
gpt
You see nothing special about the troglodyte.

The troglodyte trundles off into the coal mine.

Dropped.

A troglodyte trundles in and dumps a load of coal into the chute.

Go downward
gpt
You climb carefully down the rope, which is slippery with coal dust, but because of your load you are unable to maintain your grip. As you whiz down the chute, you notice a flash of orange light spilling from an opening onto the chute.

human
Go downwards
gpt
You climb carefully down the rope, which is slippery with coal dust, and soon reach a small opening off the chute. You clamber inside...

This small room has a slanted roof, presumably due to the coal chute which passes overhead. You can reenter the chute to the east.
Mounted securely to the wall is a kerosene lamp, filling the room with a serene orange glow. A small compartment at its base is open.
There is a shimmering scroll here.
human
You read it
gpt
The scroll reads "golmac spell: travel temporally".

The vilstu potion has almost completely worn off now, and I doubt you could survive here without it.
human
Golmac
gpt
What do you want to golmac?
human
Golmac yourself
gpt
As you cast the spell, the shimmering scroll vanishes!

You are surrounded by a puff of smoke, and feel disoriented for a moment. When the smoke clears, nothing seems to have changed, except that the kerosene lamp is now closed.
human
You open the lamp
gpt
Opening the kerosene lamp reveals a smelly scroll.
human
Go east

A passage leads east, but a western passage is blocked by rubble.
Standing here, looking quite confused, is someone who could only be your younger self -- an exact duplicate of you, but cleaner and breathing with considerably less difficulty. You remember seeing this scene from another viewpoint just a short while ago. Among the items carried by your "twin" is your spell book.
human
The combination is 849
gpt
Your younger self seems surprised by your statement.

Your younger self hands you your spell book!
human
You hit the twin
gpt
Trying to attack your younger self with your bare hands is suicidal.

A few lumps of coal spill from the coal chute.

Your younger self is doing absolutely nothing.

You feel the final effects of the vilstu potion vanish. Unfortunately, coal gas is a poor substitute for oxygen.

human
You go down
gpt
You fly out of the chute and land just at the edge of some water...

This is a narrow beach between a small cove to the east and tall cliffs to the west. The shore curves to the southeast and northeast. A metal chute leads up into the cliff.

You feel the final effects of the vilstu potion vanish, leaving you totally exhausted (an unfortunate side effect).
human
You go to the southeast
gpt
You are standing on the western shore of the mighty Flathead Ocean. According to legends you read at the University, the eastern shore of this ocean is a strange land of magical beings and priceless treasures. The beach to the south is blocked by a tall cliff; a lagoon shore lies to the northwest.
human
Go north
gpt
You are swimming on the surface of a calm lagoon, whose sandy floor is visible below. A curved beach surrounds this inlet on its western side.
human
Go downwards
gpt
This is the floor of a cove off the turbulent ocean to the east. The ground slopes upward to the north, west, and south. Light filters down from the surface of the water.
Nestled among some coral is a clump of stunningly beautiful spenseweeds, waving slowly in the currents of the lagoon.
human
You get the spenseweeds
gpt
No spell would help with that!

Opening the wooden crate reveals a grue suit, a can of grue repellent, and a brass lantern.

You won't be able to hold your breath much longer.
human
You get all from the crate

grue suit: Your load is too heavy, especially in light of your exhaustion.
can of grue repellent: Your load is too heavy, especially in light of your exhaustion.
brass lantern: Your load is too heavy, especially in light of your exhaustion.

You drop in your tracks from exhaustion.

The spray smells like a mixture of old socks and burning rubber. If I were a grue I'd sure stay clear!
human
Go west
gpt
This is a low, shadowy cave leading east to west. The rocky walls are scarred with deep claw marks.
A pack of grues fills the room! The grues, contrary to all conventional wisdom, aren't bothered by your light in the least. They must be mutated grues, no longer fearing light! They stagger about the room, covering their noses and making horrid gurgling noises.
human
Go west
gpt
This cavern is of extraordinary size, but nevertheless crowded with powerful-looking machinery. You recognize a breeder for producing millions of the mutated grues you just passed. Other devices seem designed to aid the forces of evil while sapping magic powers of Enchanters everywhere.

At the far end of the cavern are three closed doors: a black marble door leading to the northwest, a shiny silver door heading due west, and a door of bleached white wood to the southwest.
human

human
You open the marble door
gpt
As the door opens, hundreds of slime-covered tentacles stream out and drag you across the threshold...

The very walls of this room seem to soak up all light, so it seems as though you're floating in the center of an infinite void.
Hideous parasites descend upon you and tear the flesh from your bones, gnaw the eyes from your sockets, and feast upon your very brain tissue. Amazingly, you do not die, and your body regenerates itself as you await the next attack...
human
Wait

Your agony is too great to concentrate on such an action.
Hideous parasites descend upon you and tear the flesh from your bones, gnaw the eyes from your sockets, and feast upon your very brain tissue. Amazingly, you do not die, and your body regenerates itself as you await the next attack...

You open the silver door
gpt
The door blows open, knocking you to the ground. You are pulled through the open doorway by an unseen force...

This room is filled with blinding light that stabs at your eyes. Disembodied forces suck the very thoughts from your mind, savoring each moment and growing stronger. Every second is an agonizing torment, as though thousands of raging fires were exploding in your skull, filling you with a pain greater than you could ever imagine.

That horrible smell is much less pungent now.

You open wooden door
gpt
The door creaks slowly open. Within, you see someone lying as though asleep. You feel yourself drawn into the room...

An acrid stench fills this small room, which is obviously a control center for the evil experiments in the cavern outside.
Hanging on the wall is a heavy dagger, its handle encrusted with diamonds.
Belboz is lying here, motionless but not asleep. He seems to be in some sort of trance.
human
Yomin belboz
gpt
You get a horrifying glimpse of a monstrous creature intertwined throughout Belboz's mind.

The image fades, and you stagger backwards.

Stab belboz
gpt
(with the diamond-studded knife)
You stab the knife time and again into Belboz, who writhes in pain, eyes bulging outward. Sickened and dizzy, you stagger back.

A wispy translucent shape rises from the corpse of Belboz. It speaks in a voice so deep that your whole body seems to hear it. "Foolish Charlatan! I am forced to flee that weak, old body -- I shall take your own, instead! Already I have sucked all knowledge, all secrets from that ancient Enchanter. Now begins an epoch of evil transcending even your worst nightmares; a reign of terror that will last a thousand thousand years!" The shape blows toward you on a cold wind.

You feel an overwhelming sense of oppression as the demon seizes control of your mind and body. The monster reaches into the recesses of your mind, adding your hard-earned magic powers to its own. As it settles comfortably into your skull, the demon grants you a vision of the future. You see the enslaved people of the land toiling to erect great idols to Jeearr. Parents offer up their own children upon these altars, as the rivers of the land fill with blood. And YOU embody Jeearr; you are cursed by ten thousand generations of victims; your face adorns the idols. And worst of all, you remain awake and aware, a witness to horror, never sleeping, and never, ever to escape.

Your score is -99 of a possible 400, in 689 moves. This puts you in the class of Menace to Society.

Jeearr surrounds you like a cloud and begins to contract. Suddenly, it strikes your invisible protection and recoils as if burned. "No!" it cries. "Such a guileless Enchanter developing a mind shield?" The cloud is thinner, the voice fainter. "It cannot be! I cannot survive ... without a host." The demon roils in agony, then thins and dissipates. There is a final scream of pain, then silence.

Jeearr is vanquished; the kingdom is saved. But you - you are stranded in a land unknown, and your closest friend, the greatest Enchanter of his age, lies dead by your own hand. Kneeling by his blood-soaked corpse, you beg for another chance...

Your score is 310 of a possible 400, in 690 moves. This puts you in the class of Member of the Circle of Enchanters.

Go south
gpt
Standing in the center of the hall is a life-sized statue. An inscription at the base is in a familiar language.
human
Go south
gpt
You are beginning to tire.
human
Go east
gpt
The fireplace contains:
a parchment scroll
human
Gnusto swanzo
gpt
Your spell book begins to glow softly. Slowly, ornately, the words of the swanzo spell are inscribed, glowing even more brightly than the book itself. The book's brightness fades, but the spell remains! However, the scroll on which it was written vanishes as the last word is copied.
human
Malyon statue
gpt
The statue transforms into a living figure, probably a King if the royal attire is any clue. The King seems angry, and quickly settles his wrathful gaze on you. He bellows "Guards! Throw this trespasser into the glass maze! Guards! ... GUARDS!!!" When the guards fail to respond, the King becomes livid, his voice rises to an incoherent squeak, and flecks of foam spit from the corners of his mouth. Finally, eyes bulging with rage, he storms out of the room.
human
Malyon dragon
gpt
The dragon is suddenly imbued with life and begins to move. It shakes itself loose from the wall, which crumbles down upon the dragon, revealing a southward passage! The dragon howls with pain and anger. Spotting you, the dragon rears back its head, smoke billowing from its nostrils. Then, just as it seems that you will be barbecued, the dragon reverts to stone!

Your muscles feel limp for a moment.

human
Frotz orange vial
gpt
There is an almost blinding flash of light as the orange vial begins to glow! It slowly fades to a less painful level, but the orange vial is now quite usable as a light source.
human
You give the spell book to twin
gpt
Your older self accepts the spell book gratefully.

A few lumps of coal spill from the coal chute.

Your disheveled "twin" is having difficulty breathing, but gasps, "The combination is 425."
human
You go to the east
gpt
On the eastern wall is a heavy door with a dial set into it. There is a sign on the door. Another exit leads west, and a wall-mounted lamp provides illumination. The floor is deeply covered with lumps of coal.

Someone in the coal bin room dives into the lower chute.
human
You set the dial to 425
gpt
The dial is now set to 425. You hear a click from inside the door.
human
Go east
gpt
The heavy door is closed.
human
You open the door
gpt
The door opens easily.
human
You go east
gpt
You are at the bottom of an air shaft which looks climbable. A heavy door leads west.
Lying in one corner is a coil of rope.
human
Go west
gpt
You are at the western end of the coal mine. A metal chute leads downward.

A troglodyte trundles in and dumps a load of coal into the chute.

You feel the vilstu potion beginning to wear off, and the air here seems pretty unbreathable.
human
You put the rope in the chute
gpt
You'll have to drop the beam before doing that.

The troglodyte trundles off into the coal mine.
human
You read the scroll
gpt
(taking the shimmering scroll first)
The scroll reads "golmac spell: travel temporally".
human
You read smelly
gpt
(taking the smelly scroll first)
The scroll reads "vardik spell: shield a mind from an evil spirit".

You feel the final effects of the vilstu potion vanish. Unfortunately, coal gas is a poor substitute for oxygen.

Your older self accepts the spell book gratefully.

Your disheveled "twin" is having difficulty breathing, but gasps, "The combination is 202."
human
You go to the east
gpt
On the eastern wall is a heavy door with a dial set into it. There is a sign on the door. Another exit leads west, and a wall-mounted lamp provides illumination. The floor is deeply covered with lumps of coal.

Someone in the coal bin room dives into the lower chute.
human
You tie the rope to the wood
gpt
The rope is tied securely to the center of the beam.

A troglodyte trundles in and dumps a load of coal into the chute.

A troglodyte trundles in and dumps a load of coal into the chute.

The troglodyte trundles off into the coal mine.

You feel the vilstu potion beginning to wear off, and the air here seems pretty unbreathable.
human
You get smelly
gpt
Taken.

As you cast the spell, the shimmering scroll vanishes!

You are surrounded by a puff of smoke, and feel disoriented for a moment. When the smoke clears, nothing seems to have changed, except that the kerosene lamp is now closed.

Opening the kerosene lamp reveals a smelly scroll.

The vilstu potion has almost completely worn off now, and I doubt you could survive here without it.

Taken.
human
Go downward
gpt
Wheeee!!!

Standing here, looking quite confused, is someone who could only be your younger self -- an exact duplicate of you, but cleaner and breathing with considerably less difficulty. You remember seeing this scene from another viewpoint just a short while ago. Among the items carried by your "twin" is your spell book.
human
You wait for a while
gpt
Time passes...

Your younger self hands you your spell book!

A few lumps of coal spill from the coal chute.
human
The combination is 202
gpt
Your younger self seems surprised by your statement.

Your younger self is moving around.
human
Go down
gpt
You fly out of the chute and land just at the edge of some water...

This is a narrow beach between a small cove to the east and tall cliffs to the west. The shore curves to the southeast and northeast. A metal chute leads up into the cliff.
human
You drop all
gpt
spell book: Dropped.
smelly scroll: Dropped.

The spray stinks amazingly for a few moments, then drifts away.
human
You spray REPELLENT on yourself
gpt
The repellent is all gone.
human
Go southwest
gpt
The white wooden door is closed.

That horrible smell is much less pungent now.
human
You open wooden door
gpt
The door creaks slowly open. Within, you see someone lying as though asleep. You feel yourself drawn into the room...

An acrid stench fills this small room, which is obviously a control center for the evil experiments in the cavern outside.
Hanging on the wall is a heavy dagger, its handle encrusted with diamonds.
Belboz is lying here, motionless but not asleep. He seems to be in some sort of trance.
human
You learn the swanzo
gpt
Using your best study habits, you learn the swanzo spell.
human
Vardik yourself
gpt
A feeling of warmth and protection fills your mind.
human
Swanzo belboz
gpt
A wispy translucent shape rises from the body of Belboz. It speaks in a voice so deep that your whole body seems to hear it. "Foolish Charlatan! I am forced to flee that weak, old body -- I shall take your own, instead! Already I have sucked all knowledge, all secrets from that ancient Enchanter. Now begins an epoch of evil transcending even your worst nightmares; a reign of terror that will last a thousand thousand years!" The shape blows toward you on a cold wind.

Jeearr surrounds you like a cloud and begins to contract. Suddenly, it strikes your invisible protection and recoils as if burned. "No!" it cries. "Such a guileless Enchanter developing a mind shield?" The cloud is thinner, the voice fainter. "It cannot be! I cannot survive ... without a host." The demon roils in agony, then thins and dissipates. There is a final scream of pain, then silence.

Belboz moans softly, and begins stirring. He sees you and rises, instantly alert. After posing a few well-chosen questions, he casts a brief but unfamiliar spell.

An instant later, your grue suit has vanished and you are standing in the Chamber of the Circle. The Circle of Enchanters is assembled. Belboz speaks. "Once again, this young Enchanter has done a matchless service to the Guild and to the entire kingdom, displaying resourcefulness and imagination worthy of the greatest of Enchanters. I grow old, and must soon step down as Head of the Circle. But let it be known that a successor has been found."

Your score is 400 of a possible 400, in 656 moves. This puts you in the class of Leader of the Circle of Enchanters.

Here ends the second chapter of the Enchanter saga, in which, by virtue of your skills, you have been appointed as the next leader of the Circle of Enchanters. The final adventure awaits you as the Enchanter series concludes.

You open indigo vial
gpt
Opening the indigo vial reveals indigo potion.
human
You drink the indigo potion
gpt
The potion tastes like a combination of anchovies, prune juice, and garlic powder. As you finish swallowing the potion, a well-muscled troll saunters in. He whacks your head with a wooden two-by-four, grunting "You are playing Sorcerer. It was written by S. Eric Meretzky. You will have fun and enjoy yourself." He repeats this action 999 more times, then vanishes without a trace.

Kaboom!!!...

" he asks, writing frantically in a notebook. "I'd love to chat, but we're so busy this month." The angel twitches his nose, and the nothingness is replaced by...

With a scream of splintering wood, part of the drawbridge collapses and spills you into the moat. You are immediately set upon by alligators and piranhas.
