Several weeks of travel have brought me to Mount Shanshan. The last ride I was able to get was a goods truck to a small village at the base of the mountain. Then it was a long hike up the mountain along badly maintained roads and footpaths.

The road ends here at an abandoned cable car platform. The cableway leads directly to my destination. I must get it running, somehow.





A rickety wooden platform is built on the edge of a cliff to serve as an station for a cable car ride up to the mountain. It overlooks a beautiful waterfall rumbling below.

The road leads back east and the cableway's engine is in a shack just to the south.

A cable car is docked to the platform.
human
You look at the cable car
gpt
The cable car is large enough to comfortably fit about four passengers. The red paint coating is peeling away in large flakes and rust is corroding the body.

It's hard to see through the dirty windows but it seems like there's a simple control panel inside.

A iron bar attaches the car to the platform and at the same time locks the door.
human
You open door
gpt
The iron bar blocks the door from opening.
human
You move the bar
gpt
It's attached with large bolts. It can't be removed without tools.
human
You examine the platform
gpt
The wooden platform serves as a docking and embarkment area for the cable car.
human
You examine the waterfall
gpt
The waterfall rumbles down the mountainside and raises a cloud of mist where it hits the water.
human
Go south
gpt
The wooden shack houses a large diesel generator that moves the cableway. The shack's walls are rotten and patchy. The exit leads back out to the north.

The diesel generator looks like it hasn't been used in quite some while.
human
Examine generator
gpt
The diesel generator is currently switched off.
human
You turn on the generator
gpt
The engine coughs a few times but refuses to start. A quick troubleshooting indicates that the cylinders are so dirty that the engine can't run. They need to be cleaned first.

A cable car is docked to the platform.
human
Go east
gpt
I walk the road back to an old hotel I passed on the way here.

I am at the gates of an old country-style mansion that has at some point served as a hotel. At the moment there are no signs of it being in use. The garden has overgrown, there are no cars about and the building itself is in a dilapidated state.

The hotel gates are to the north, the cable car platform to the west, and the hiking path leading back down the mountain is to the east.

An angry dog is barking at me behind the gate.
human
You examine the dog
gpt
The dog is big and menacing, a mutt or perhaps even a Chongqing. He's barking viciously behind the gates. His short fur is filthy and largely covered in dirt.

There must be a way.

The rumbling of the waterfall makes it impossible to meditate here.

A scenic hiking path leads back down the mountain. I know it all too well, having walked it up here in the first place. The way back to the hotel is to the west.

Two small stone statues depicting a lion and a dragon are greeting visitors on both sides of the path.
human
You examine the lion
gpt
The statue is not very tall and is carved from solid black stone. It's set here by the path as a decoration for passersby. This one depicts a lion.

"What do you seek?"

"I seek the truth, shifu."

She hit me on the fingers with the head of her cane, like many
times before.

"You say you seek the truth, but only lies come out your own
mouth. What do you seek?"

The memory fades and the mind is silent.

Meditation revealed the following truth:

Go west
gpt
I am at the gates of an old country-style mansion that has at some point served as a hotel. At the moment there are no signs of it being in use. The garden has overgrown, there are no cars about and the building itself is in a dilapidated state.

The hotel gates are to the north, the cable car platform to the west, and the hiking path leading back down the mountain is to the east.

An angry dog is barking at me behind the gate.
human
You change the dog into the flute
gpt
I clear my mind and concentrate on the dog, imagining its counterpart nature. The truth becomes obvious -- a dog is a flute, and a flute is a dog, and there is no difference between the two. Sparkles start flying from all over the dog as the Universe bends to accept the reality I have discovered.

The sparkling stops and where the dog used to stand, there's a small koudi flute lying on the grass.
human
You take the flute
gpt
The flute is in the garden behind the gate, beyond my reach.
human
You open gate
gpt
I open the gate.
human
Go north
gpt
Weeds have taken over the garden, which seems to have been designed in a distinctly Japanese style. It must have been very beautiful in its heyday.

The hotel entrance is to the north and the gates to the south.

A flute lies on the grass near the gate.

In the center of the garden is a murky pond.
human
You take flute
gpt
Taken.
human
You examine the pond
gpt
The pond is full of muddy water, but I can see a fish, probably a koi, swimming around in it.
human
You look at the koi
gpt
The koi swims around in the pond, looking a bit lonely.
human
You wash flute in the pond
gpt
I clean the flute the best I can using the water from the pond.
human
You play the flute
gpt
Remembering what it used to be, I reluctantly put the flute on my lips and blow. The air escapes through the fingerholes. There must be a blockage inside the flute somewhere.
human
You go north
gpt
The view in the hotel lobby confirms that the establishment has been deserted for a long time. The lobby has an abandoned reception desk, some sofas and dead house plants. There's a layer of dust everywhere.

There's a staircase to the north leading up and a closed door leading east.

A large wardrobe for coats has fallen over near the entrance.
human
You look at the plants
gpt
The leaves have fallen off the plants and are now only dead branches. They're beyond resuscitation.
human
You open the wardrobe
gpt
It's fallen over on its door. I can't open it.
human
You meditate
gpt
"What do you seek?"

"I seek power, shifu."

There is no slap on the fingers this time.

The memory fades and I am ready to learn.

Meditation revealed the following truths:
human
Go up
gpt
This is the corridor where the hotel's guest rooms are. There are seven doors in total. To the south the staircase leads back down.
human
You open the door
gpt
Which do you mean, door 101, door 102, door 103, door 104, door 105, door 106 or door 107?
human
You open 101
gpt
The door seems to be locked. Brief testing confirms that the same is true for every door here.
human
You go D
gpt
The lobby has an abandoned reception desk, some sofas and dead house plants. There's a layer of dust everywhere.

There's a staircase to the north leading up and a closed door leading east.

A large wardrobe for coats has fallen over near the entrance.
human
You go east
gpt
(first opening the door)
I try the doorknob, but the door is locked.
human
You change the doorknob into the umbrella
gpt
The doorknob sparkles and turns into an umbrella. The umbrella is now sticking out the door where the knob used to be.
human
Go east
gpt
(first opening the door)
I pull on the umbrella, but it comes loose.

The door's lock mechanism has nothing to support it anymore and falls apart. The door should be unlocked now.

A large dining hall full of empty tables is a sad sight. Some rays of light filter in through the dirty windows.

There's a pair of dumbwaiters on the farthest wall and a hand crank in the space between them.
human
You examine the dumbwaiter
gpt
Which do you mean, the left dumbwaiter or the right dumbwaiter?
human
You examine the left dumbwaiter
gpt
The dumbwaiters are an old elevator system for lifting food from the kitchen and then lowering dirty dishes back. They are small wooden compartments running inside the wall and supported by a rope.

The single crank on the wall suggests that they are connected with a common rope and pulley system and lowering one will raise the other.

In the left dumbwaiter is a chopstick.

There's a closed grid door in front of the compartment.
human
You take chopstick
gpt
I put a finger through one of the holes in the grid door, manage to reach the chopstick and pull it out.
human
You put the chopstick in the flute
gpt
(clearing the flute with the chopstick)
Using the chopstick, the wad of dirt that was blocking the flute pops cleanly out. That must be a relief to the dog as well.

The door is rusted stuck. It's unlikely that I can get it open.

Weeds have taken over the garden, which seems to have been designed in a distinctly Japanese style. It must have been very beautiful in its heyday.

The hotel entrance is to the north and the gates to the south.

In the center of the garden is a murky pond.
human
You change the koi into the tornado
gpt
The fish starts to sparkle under the water. It soon disappears and a tall water spout forms in its place. The spout makes it out of the pond and manages to travel a meter or two before dissipating and releasing the water as a rain on the garden, getting my clothes wet.

I look in the now almost empty pond and see a glint of metal. There seems to be a key stuck in the mud. Some hotel guest must have dropped it there by accident.
human
Unlock 101
gpt
(with the room key)
That doesn't seem to fit the lock.
human
Unlock 102
gpt
(with the room key)
I unlock door 102.
human
You examine the key
gpt
A wooden key fob is attached to the key. Water has turned it almost illegible but I can still make out the number "102".
human
Open 102
gpt
I open door 102.
human
Inside
gpt
The hotel room is spartan, with only the most necessary furniture. The scene through the window is beautiful, though. There's a direct view to the waterfall I saw earlier.

I can see a bedside table (on which are a sanitary napkin and a tube of lipstick) here.
human
You take all
gpt
sanitary napkin: Taken.
lipstick: Taken.
human
You meditate
gpt
"The Universe has shown you some of its secrets," she says,
casually turning a flower into a guitar, as if to underline a point. "But the key to true enlightenment is to observe the Pattern and to understand it."

Finally I push aside the distracting memories.

Meditation revealed the following truth:

You examine the bed
gpt
The bed is made and a layer of dust is on the covers.
human
You leave
gpt
This is the corridor where the hotel's guest rooms are. There are seven doors in total, of which I've unlocked door 102. To the south the staircase leads back down.
human
You go south
gpt
I am at the gates of an old country-style mansion that has at some point served as a hotel. At the moment there are no signs of it being in use. The garden has overgrown, there are no cars about and the building itself is in a dilapidated state.

The hotel gates are to the north, the cable car platform to the west, and the hiking path leading back down the mountain is to the east.
human
You play the flute
gpt
The flute has a low, dark sound to it.
human
You drop the flute
gpt
Dropped.
human
You close the gate
gpt
I close the gate.
human
You turn the flute into the Dog
gpt
The flute sparkles and is soon changed back into the dog, who resumes barking after noticing me.

[Achievement unlocked: Clean Dog]
human
Examine pad
gpt
The sanitary napkin is, thankfully, unused.
human
You turn the pad into the wrench
gpt
The sanitary napkin sparkles for a brief moment before changing into a monkey wrench.
human
You remove the bar
gpt
The iron bar is attached to the cable car and to the platform with large bolts.
human
You turn the bolts with the wrench
gpt
I put the monkey wrench on a bolt, adjust it to fit and turn. The bolt snaps with a cloud of rust flakes and starts to turn free. The nut on the other side turns with the bolt. I try to hold the nut still but can't get a good grip; I need a glove or something.
human
You check your inventory
gpt
I am carrying:
a monkey wrench (which equals sanitary napkin)
a tube of lipstick
a room key
a chopstick
an umbrella (which equals doorknob)

I have some information about the nature of the universe.
human
You turn wrench into the pad
gpt
The monkey wrench sparkles for a brief moment before changing into a sanitary napkin.
human
Clean the generator with the pad
gpt
The sanitary napkin would be perfect for cleaning the cylinders, but the grit is too sturdily stuck. I need something to soften it first.
human
Wet pad
gpt
What do you want to wet the sanitary napkin with?
human
Waterfall
gpt
The waterfall is too far away.
human
You turn the Dog into the flute
gpt
The dog sparkles for a brief moment before changing into a flute.
human
You open gate
gpt
I open the gate.
human
You go north
gpt
Weeds have taken over the garden, which seems to have been designed in a distinctly Japanese style. It must have been very beautiful in its heyday.

The hotel entrance is to the north and the gates to the south.

In the center of the garden is a murky pond.

I can also see a flute here.
human
Wet pad with water
gpt
There's still enough water in the pond to wet the sanitary napkin. It's now soaked with muddy pond water.
human
Clean generator with the pad
gpt
The dirt is stuck to the parts too hard. I need something stronger than water to clean it.
human
You look at the crank
gpt
The crank is placed so that it's evidently used to raise and lower the dumbwaiters.
human
You turn the crank
gpt
The crank seems to be stuck and after applying some more force it snaps off into my hand. I place it down and curse my bad luck.
human
You look at the crank
gpt
The crank was apparently used to raise and lower dumbwaiters in the dining hall. Now it's broken.
human
Inside
gpt
The hotel room is spartan, with only the most necessary furniture. The scene through the window is beautiful, though. There's a direct view to the waterfall I saw earlier.

I can see a bedside table here.

gpt
The flute has a low, dark sound to it.
human
You look at the window
gpt
There's a view of the waterfall through the window.
human
You examine the dust
gpt
There's a layer of dust on every surface.
human
You look at the lipstick
gpt
It's a tube of red lipstick, a bit too bright shade for my tastes.
human
You examine the wardrobe
gpt
A wardrobe, presumably meant for storing casual visitors' coats, has fallen over.

A single leather glove has been pinned under the top corner of the wardrobe.
human
You take the glove
gpt
The glove is pinned under the wardrobe. I can't get it loose.
human
You meditate
gpt
Meditation revealed the following truth:
human
You change the glove into the cantaloupe
gpt
I concentrate and focus on changing the glove. There's more resistance than usual, but finally the glove gives in. A cantaloupe appears in its place and half of it is immediately squashed under the wardrobe.
human
You take all
gpt
cantaloupe: Taken.
human
You change the cantaloupe into the glove
gpt
The cantaloupe sparkles for a brief moment before changing into a glove.
human
You examine the glove
gpt
A part of the glove is cut off, but most of it is still intact. Wearing it won't be very fashionable, though.
human
Wear glove
gpt
I put on the glove.
human
You examine the bolt
gpt
Large bolts attach the iron bar to the platform.
human
You turn the bolt with the wrench
gpt
The sanitary napkin sparkles for a brief moment before changing into a monkey wrench.

With the gloved hand holding the nuts opposite the bolts in place I am able to unscrew the bolts and free the car.
human
You look at the car
gpt
The cable car is large enough to comfortably fit about four passengers. The red paint coating is peeling away in large flakes and rust is corroding the body.

It's hard to see through the dirty windows but it seems like there's a simple control panel inside.
human
You open the door
gpt
I open the cable car.
human
You enter car
gpt
I get into the cable car.

A control panel has been set to the wall opposite the door. It has a lever that most likely gets the thing moving.
human
You examine panel
gpt
A control panel has been set to the wall opposite the door. It has a lever that most likely gets the thing moving.
human
You pull the lever
gpt
Nothing happens. I must get the engine that moves the cableway running first.
human
You leave
gpt
I get out of the cable car.

A rickety wooden platform is built on the edge of a cliff to serve as an station for a cable car ride up to the mountain. It overlooks a beautiful waterfall rumbling below.

The road leads back east and the cableway's engine is in a shack just to the south.

A cable car is docked to the platform.
human
You put the lipstick on the pad
gpt
(applying the lipstick to the sanitary napkin)
There's no real reason to smear the lipstick on the sanitary napkin.
human
You turn the glove into the cantaloupe
gpt
The glove sparkles for a brief moment before changing into a cantaloupe.
human
You examine the cantaloupe
gpt
The other half of the cantaloupe has been crushed by a wardrobe, after it had already been toppled. Deep.
human

There's a pair of dumbwaiters on the farthest wall.
human
You examine the dumbwaiters
gpt
Which do you mean, the left dumbwaiter or the right dumbwaiter?
human
You examine right dumbwaiter
gpt
The dumbwaiters are an old elevator system for lifting food from the kitchen and then lowering dirty dishes back. They are small wooden compartments running inside the wall and supported by a rope.

The single crank on the wall suggested that they are connected with a common rope and pulley system and lowering one will raise the other.

The right dumbwaiter is lowered beyond reach.

human
You put the flute in the left dumbwaiter
gpt
I put the flute into the left dumbwaiter.
human
You change the flute into the Dog
gpt
The flute sparkles and turns back into the dog. The dog seems a bit confused, but before he can orient himself his weight pushes the dumbwaiter down and the right dumbwaiter rises. There's a sausage on a plate and a bottle in the revealed compartment.

I can hear the dog barking somewhere below.
human
You take all

bottle of gin: Taken.
plate: Taken.
sausage: Taken.
human
You examine the gin

There's still some gin left in the bottom of the bottle.
human
You examine the plate
gpt
The plate is tastefully decorated with a flower theme.
human
You meditate
gpt
It's some kind of long salami-style sausage. Salt has preserved it comparably well, but it's still rancid enough to not be edible.

The barking of the dog makes it impossible to meditate here.
human
You change the Dog into the flute
gpt
The dog is in the left dumbwaiter, which is out of my reach at the moment.

I get into the cable car.

A control panel has been set to the wall opposite the door. It has a lever that most likely gets the thing moving.
human
You pull the lever

The mechanism on top of the car latches on to the cableway and the car jolts on moving.

After a brief but scenic ride the car stops.

Mountain top (in the cable car)
The cable car has reached its destination.
human
Go outside
gpt
(first opening the cable car door)
I step out the cable car and see the shrine a short way from the platform. To my surprise the Master is sitting cross-legged in front of the shrine.

"Shifu," I greet and bow deep.

"Welcome, apprentice," she says. "Have you learned the Pattern?"

1) Everything has both good and evil in them

The Master closes her eyes and nods.

Understanding comes to me. "Anything can be changed into anything."

At that moment I am enlightened.
