This part of the northern marshlands was split in half by a wide, fast-flowing river but it had always proved a good place to catch brown trout and Slam knew this well. Apart from which he was also a great believer in the old legends of "Goblin Gold" that were retold in the alehouses of the Shyre almost every single night of the week.

So it was that Fuddo and Slam set off on their latest adventure ...

In this game you can switch player characters by typing "Become Fuddo" or "Become Slam".

The Fishing-Trip
(Brown Trout and Goblins).

You are stood in the middle of a small woodland clearing. The edge of the river lies to the north. In the centre of the clearing is a patch of bare earth. A sandy path leads off to the west, whilst a stoney path heads in an easterly direction.
human
About yourself
gpt
A jovial little Boggit, well liked throughout the land. Answering to the name of "Fuddo".
human
You look at the sword
gpt
Shiny, bright-edged and razor-sharp. With a small hole in the handle where Stefan has promised to insert the necessary "bits" to allow it to switch modes between "Hack 'em to death" and "Slice them slowly".

The ground trembles underfoot ...
human
Go north
gpt
You are on the edge of a fast-flowing river. A small woodland path heads southwards.

The faint smell of cooked fish and wood-smoke drifts upstream on the morning air.

You can see a plank of wood here.
human
You take the plank
gpt
The plank is heavy only Slam will be able to carry it, so perhaps Fuddo should leave it for him.
human
You examine the river
gpt
The waters of the river flowed from East to West and had done so for as long as anybody could remember.
human
You go east
gpt
A thick briar hedge prevents any progress in that direction.
human
You go south
gpt
You are stood in the middle of a small woodland clearing. The edge of the river lies to the north. In the centre of the clearing is a patch of bare earth. A sandy path leads off to the west, whilst a stoney path heads in an easterly direction.

A dark shape flies overhead and blocks out the sun for just a moment ...
human
You go east
gpt
Formed from cold grey granite, the cliff face rises almost vertically to the sky. However a small ledge can be seen part way up.

You can see a small elf, a large rock, a backpack (which is closed) and a small wooden table here.
human
You look at Elf
gpt
A wizened little Elf, dressed in green and wearing a pointed cap.
human
You examine the rock
gpt
Quite large, it looks to have fallen off the nearby cliff face. It looks heavy but could be lifted by a strong character.
human
You look at the backpack
gpt
Stout canvas and brown leather.
human
You examine table
gpt
Oval in shape, with carved legs and the words "Deposit Backpack Here" carved across the middle of it.

Underneath, in smaller letters, is carved "Only backpacks will be counted - No sacks."
human
You talk to Elf
gpt
"Just drop the objects you find here ... do me a favour though and don't drop them one at a time" says the Elf.
human
You ask Elf about the Backpack
gpt
"If it is information you are after then try asking the Dwarf" replies the Elf, pointing to an old Castle on a faraway hilltop.
human
You take the Backpack
gpt
Taken.
human
You open it
gpt
You open the backpack.
human
You look in it
gpt
The backpack is empty.
human
You look at the ledge
gpt
Sticking out from the cliff-face, the rocky ledge appears to be accessible from a small tunnel entrance at the rear of it.
human
Go west
gpt
You are stood in the middle of a small woodland clearing. The edge of the river lies to the north. In the centre of the clearing is a patch of bare earth. A sandy path leads off to the west, whilst a stoney path heads in an easterly direction.

A dark shape flies overhead and blocks out the sun for just a moment ...
human
You dig patch
gpt
You will need a spade to dig here ...
human
You look up
gpt
You can't see any such thing.

A dark shape flies overhead and blocks out the sun for just a moment ...
human
You go west
gpt
A large gap, hundreds of feet deep cuts the ground in two at this point.

You can see a single wooden post here.
human
Examine post
gpt
It appears to be all that remains of the small bridge that once crossed the chasm. A length of weathered rope is tied around the post and dangles over the edge of the chasm.

You could always chance your luck and climb down the rope.
human
You look at the chasm
gpt
Probably a lot, lot wider than a Boggit can leap across, the chasm descends into darkness and prevents any further access to the west. Just below a small rocky ledge juts out from the chasm wall.
human
You wear the Backpack
gpt
Unfortunately the shoulder-straps are missing so the backpack will have to be carried instead.
human
You climb down the rope
gpt
Protruding from the face of the chasm, the small ledge offers a foothold from which to assess your bearings. To the east you can see the entrance to a tunnel. A weathered rope hangs down from above, perhaps you should climb up the rope.

You can see a Goblin archer here.

You let go of the rope ..
human
You talk to the archer
gpt
"Do you have any treasure?" asks the archer.
human
You examine archer
gpt
A swarthy little individual carrying a large bow and a quiver of arrows.
human
You ask Archer about the treasure
gpt
"Who do you think I am, the old Dwarf that dwells in the old Castle?" snaps the Archer.
human
Go east
gpt
Hewn out of the chasm wall, the entrance looks to lead east into a network of tunnels.
human
Go east
gpt
It is pitch dark here!
human
You become Slam
gpt
Ok, you are now Slam.

You are on the edge of a fast-flowing river. A small woodland path heads eastwards.

You can see a large brown trout (swimming in the river), a branch, a large hessian sack (which is closed), a fish carcass, a log and a small fire here.
human
You examine trout
gpt
About 10 inches long and reasonably fat, it would make a good supper for Slam later.

Something moves under the leaves ...
human
Search leaves
gpt
You find nothing special.

A putrid smell of rotting vegetation hangs in the air  ...
human
Catch trout
gpt
You reach under the log, grab a large caterpillar and stick it on the bent pin at the end of the length of string. Then with a flick of your wrist you cast the caterpillar out into the flowing waters.

You wait patiently for a few moments and then draw the string back in. You take the trout off the pin and release the bedraggled caterpillar, which then squelches off north.

A putrid smell of rotting vegetation hangs in the air  ...
human
You take the sack
gpt
Taken.
human

gpt
You open the large hessian sack.

A large hairy caterpillar crawls out from under the log and trundles off to the north.
human

gpt
It looks like the remains of breakfast. Judging by the look of its head it used to be a large brown trout.

Something moves under the leaves ...
human
Light branch
gpt
You stick the end of the branch into the fire.

Something moves under the leaves ...

human
You look at it
gpt
A length of branch, burning brightly at one end.

Something moves under the leaves ...
human
Go east
gpt
A small copse of Ash trees sit here, a path leads westards.

You can see a strangely-shaped boulder here.
human
You examine the boulder
gpt
An impressively heavy-looking boulder, behind it (to the south) appears to be the entrance to a cave. Carved on the boulder are a number of runes.
human
You read the runes
gpt
They resemble a rat and a spider.
human
You move boulder
gpt
You place your shoulder against the face of the boulder and exert pressure but the boulder refuses to budge.
human
You examine the trees
gpt
Tall slender trees, their roots intermingling with the rough grasses at their bases.
human
Go south
gpt
Dark and foreboding, it leads south into a what looks like a network of tunnels. Off to one side somebody has stuck up a poster.
human
Examine poster
gpt
Fancy a challenge ... then see if you can locate ALL the hidden objects in the game ... there are probably about SIXTEEN of them.

Balrog.

P.S. No prizes or points to be gained, just the fun of the challenge ... I'm a tight old sod these days.

Oh and before anybody asks, the reason most of  the chests and boxes look the same is because the Goblins bought a job-lot from the little elves that live in the Northern hills ... anything to save money, them Goblins are frugal little characters.
human
You go south
gpt
The walls are solid stone, dripping with condensation and covered in lichen and moss.

You can see a wooden chest (which is closed) here.

Drip, drip, drip ...
human

gpt
Tarnished bronze and fitted with leather straps, there are numerous dents across its surface. It looks to be big enough for an Ogre or maybe a very large Troll.

Drip, drip, drip ...

gpt
(first taking the small bronze breastplate)
That doesn't seem to be something you can wear.
