Look at what you have created.

<b>Hahahahahahahahha bold tags hate you.

[Xion]

Not really.

So, I assume that this has no answer to it since you haven't acknoledged my suggestion.

[Radium]

<b>I RED WAT U ROTE =D. Now what?

[Violet CLM]

I doubt it's an eye. Taste is the fourth sense, not sight.

hmm...I am such a fool for this. It just hit me.

It's some kind of representation of an acid, CH₄ maybe?

well, since it is a CH₄ molecule, all we need to do is find some CH₄?

Analyze: inverntory
==I want a full description of each item.

[Ekardnamal]

What about the vial? Hmm, Radium?

[Radium]

<b>You carefully look at each item in your party's inventory.

The <u>Thirdeighteennoteevenbettercitrusfruitylazerlighty superflyingfullyclotheductscraptlegalfourseatsestr udelire</u> is essentially a combination of many random items. It allegedly has great power, but nobody knows how to use it. It may not be dissassembled.

You are currently wearing classic <u>Druid Attire</u>. It is dark teal in color and the tag says that it is one hundred percent cotton. It feels warm and cozy and looks quite stylish, even being from a 1500s fad.

The <u>Pearldiver's Knife</u> is a small, curved blade. It appears to be made of stainless steel and has a few pearls encrusted in the handle. Intended to be used carving the guts out of lesser creatures, it proves quite handy in combat.

Though currently inactive, the <u>Magic Map</u> has saved your bacon multiple times. Being made since the days of The Land of the Green Isles, magic maps allow fast transportation into dangerous areas with a limited amount of saftey.

The <u>Magic Mirror</u> is a small mirror. It seems to be made of silver and has gems encrusted throughout its complicated design. While it appears to be nothing more than a normal mirror, the magic mirror reflects both light and, to an extent, magic.

The <u>Bookmark of Eternity</u> is an interesting item indeed. This bookmark is magically enchanted so once the owner releases it, only the earth's natural movement can change its location. It is royal blue and color and has a silky texture.

Pity on the demon fighter without an <u>Exorcism Kit</u>. The kit contains an assortment of wooden crosses, ceremonial knives, and, of course, Silver Arrow^TM werewolf spray.

A <u>Ballista</u> is sort of like a giant crossbow. This one is made of wooden pieces bound together with metal paltes and bolts. It has a couple long ballista darts with it.

It's not often you just happen to find expensive things laying around, such as a <u>Gem</u>. Green and angular, you suspect this one is an emerald. It's quite large, about two inches by one and a half inches.

You took this <u>Spring</u> off of the machine in the forest. It's made of metal and fairly strong. Now it's about four inches long, but you guess that unwound, it would reach over a yard.

Also in your posession is a <u>Berry</u>. You assume it has healing properties. It's about the size of a quarter (only sphere shaped) and bright red.

Somewhere along the line, you picked up some <u>Leaves</u>. They've started to break up from being carried around in your... I'm not really sure... for so long. They look like the Canadian flag.

The <u>Wildflowers</u> are cracked and brown. Originally a bright purple, they have since perished from lack of water.

You haven't been able to identify either of the <u>Fruits</u> you carry. They are translucent, green, and about the size of tangerines. You can see a small pit in the center and assume the fruit would taste very juicy. You probably would've eaten it by now, if you knew what it was.

Words can not describe the <u>CrazyT</u>. This odd object sits in the bottom of your intentory where it can't disturb you as much. The CrazyT is small enough to hold in your hant and is the color drugs.

The <u>Spoon</u> is just that, a spoon. This device is very good for eating soup or cerial, but kind of falls short in most other things. It is made of plastic and has the number "8475" written on the inside of the handle.

The <u>Ice Pick</u> is a small pointed thing used for beaking ice. If something was ever frozen, this would come in handy. Unfortunately, nothing is frozen right now.

Though at least twenty years outdated, the <u>Photograph</u> depicts Sear, Trafton, Conquista, Pandora, Fooruman, and Sam when they were younger. With the exception of Pandora, Fooruman, and Trafton, they've all gotten much older since then. Pandora is dead, Fooruman can't get much older, and you assume Trafton is immortal.

You still have the <u>Vial of Middenite</u> Conquista gave you. The vial is made of glass and quite small. When you look through it, it appears to have no back. You have also discovered that it dissolves very fast in air. Outside the vial it couldn't last over ten minutes.

L33tz4n's yellow <u>Contact Lenses</u> enable her to see, and probably make everything seem a bit more yellow. You're kind of thankful that they're there, because her natural white eyes can get quite disturbing after a while, like that guy from Star Treck.

The <u>Whip</u> is L33tz4n's weapon of choice. It can reach over ten feet out and easily wrap around things. It is black in color and made of what seems to be some kind of leather.

L33tz4n is wearing a <u>Tunic</u>. It's sleeveless and colored kelly green. The tag reads that it is one hundrerd percent cotton. Cotton seems quite popular.

Araches' <u>Staff</u> looks like a silver stick with a dark green gem on the end, but considering the price she got it for, you assume that the whole thing is plastic and spraypainted silver. Whatever may be true, it appears to do whatever mage staffs do just fine.

Araches is clad in a <u>Tube Top And Miniskirt</u>. These are both made of some kind of dark red leather. At once point they matched Araches' eyes, but her eye color seems to change every time I make a graphic. Her eyes are gray now and staying that way.

Fawriel has a <u>Spear</u>. It's like a long, pointy stick. Unfortunately, being the group's only healer, he never gets a chance to use it much.

Fawriel's <u>Pants</u> were clearly stolen from a homeless hippy. They are brown and somewhere between four and nine sizes too large.

Fawriel is wearing gray-blue <u>Armor</u>. The armor is very flexible and light; you aren't sure where he picked it up. Maybe that homeless hippy had it.

Fawriel enjoys his <u>Frosted Flakes</u>. Frosted flakes are part of a complete breakfast, and are kind of like an unhealthy version of Life with extra sugar. The only disadvantage is how quickly they get soggy. You have reason to believe Fawriel was secretly sharing them with everyone except you.

Currently in Faw's care is a blade of <u>Dead Grass</u>. It may not be dead after all, and has made quite a recovery since the last time you saw it. It's now yellowish green, held in a little bowl of water made from Frosted Flakes boxes.

Fooruman's <u>Sexy Women's Dress</u> may very well be his only piece of clothing. It's colored purple with gold trim. The tag says that it is one hundred percent stale bread dyed purple.

Fooruman prefers to fight using a <u>Staff</u>. You also suspect his staff is plastic. Who knows, plastic may have magical properties.

Shuriken fights with a <u>Katana</u>. It is black in color and over three feet long. She keeps it clean; you can't find a single dead body impaled on it.

Shuriken's <u>Ninja Pants</u> are one of many things that make her cooler than you. Her pants are black and NINJA. They are also <i>200</i> percent cotton, putting your clothing to shame.

Shuri is also wearing <u>Armor</u>. The armor is black and somewhat shiny. It comes down to about the bottom of her ribcage. You think this would lower its defensive capabilities severely, but you aren't complaining.

[Risp_old]

<b>Words can not describe the <u>CrazyT</u>. This odd object sits in the bottom of your intentory where it can't disturb you as much. The CrazyT is small enough to hold in your hant and is the color drugs.</b>
Hant!

<b>Yes.

[Violet CLM]

Ask L33tz4n "Does this Druid Attire make me look fat?".

<b>L33tz4n thinks for a while before saying "Yea, pretty much."

[Violet CLM]

"Should I take it off?" =8(

[Radium]

<b>"Nah," she says, "it goes with your eyes. Even if it makes you look fat."

I honestly forget what color Uberbob's eyes are. I'll have to go back in the thread and look.

[Violet CLM]

Light green. Like frogs.

<b>You hope the liquid is water.

Aarches casts The Osama Effect on Fooruman (let's call forgoten spells a bonus for people who read the whole thread). Fooruman now has two, parallel beards. "I sticky of such APPLE!" Fooruman says. You can't tell if that's a good or bad thing.

Also, could this represent the five winds?

The first wind of ascension is Forger, burning away impurity.
The second wind of ascension is Reaver, slaying the unworthy.
The third wind of ascension is Eliminator, clearing Keld's path to Victory.
The fourth wind of ascension is Anointer, deifying the worthy.
The fifth wind of ascension is Exalter, fufilling Keld's destiny.


Hm. Forger, Reaver, Eliminator, Anointer, Exalter. Forger focuses on the enemy, Reaver removes all oposition, Eliminator removes power from the enemy, Anointer refreshes yourself, and Exalter increases your forces.


So, all we need to do is figure out what is what, right?

[Ekardnamal]

Action: Look for writing on any of the pillars/sphere.

[Radium]

<b>There is evidence that there was once writing on these pillars, but it has long since been worn away. Carefully examining the pillar south of the sphere, you can make out a tiny, worn carving of a flower.

[Violet CLM]

Oh. Um. A flower.
And a circle.
With a ring around it.. umm...

Carefully examine the north pillar. or the east. or the west. Really, just find another worn carving.

[Radium]

<b>Your eyes are too sux to see anything else. L33tz4n, however, examines the pillar on the other side and can make out what looks a bit like the Canadian flag. You look for a while after that, but the rest has worn off.

[Risp_old]

Save.
Put the leaves that look like the Canadian flag into the carving.

[Radium]

<b>The carving is very light; stuff won't fit in it. You put the maple leaf on top of the pillar. Nothing happens.

Place maple leaf on top of leaf pillar.
Place wildflower on top of flower pillar.
Place berry on top of east pillar.
Place fruit on top of west pillar.
If nothing happens; switch berry and fruit.

[Radium]

<b>You place the leaf, flower, berry, and fruit on the pillars. Nothing happens. You switch the berry and fruit. Still no reaction.

[Xion]

...A flower you say?

*evil grin* Thanks for the final hint. now all I have to do is find them again.

[Xion]

<b>You look at the flower. It's icy blue in color and the air near it is cool. It's shaped like a rose but with pointed petals. Your call on what to do next.
All we have to do is go back to these flowers...I think.

[Risp_old]

You mean the ice flowers?

[Xion]

Bingo. We freeze the sphere and smash it. Or freeze the pillar with the flower on it.

[Ekardnamal]

Go: South, south, west.

<b>You go east. You see the tree with the camera. Exits are north, south, east, and west.

L33tz4n looks confused. "Something isn't right..." she says.

[Violet CLM]

"Yes. The forest's been changed. I think maybe it happened when that thing appeared in the village, and we were all running across the island too fast to notice anything."

[Radium]

<b>"If you say so," she says.

Game saved. Haven't done that in a while.

[Violet CLM]

<b>You glance at L33tz4n suspiciously. "Time to check if anything else changed. Araches, do you love me?" you ask.
Araches looks at you, disgruntled. "No."

[Violet CLM]

"Ok, universal constants still apply."
Examine east path. Compare it to north path.

[Radium]

<b>"Ok, universal constants still apply," you say. You stare down the east path. It appears to be nothing more than another path leading into the forest, yet something seems different about it. You can't seem to put your finger on it.

[Violet CLM]

Walk east a few steps. Put your finger on the path.

[Radium]

<b>You walk east a few steps and stick your finger out into the path. In a shower of sparks, something chomps off most of your robotic arm.

The sound of something moving through the undergrowth is quickly coming from behind you.

[Risp_old]

Load.

<b>Not in the middle of all this fun! Game saved!

Freak out.
*goes to check the inventory*

[Radium]

<b>With a wave of her hand, L33tz4n sends the magically summoned bar of soap flying. You see the bar vanish from sight and hear a loud "thud", while the forest in front of you bends akwardly. Soon after, you hear the sound of breaking twigs again, as if something is moving.

Suddenly, L33tz4n is lifted off the ground by something. She screams in terror.

[Violet CLM]

Faw: Attack area behind/beneath L33tz4n with Spear.
Araches: Attack same area with Staff.
Fooruman: Attack same area with Staff.
Uberbob: Attack same area with Pearldiver's Knife.

[Radium]

<b>Your party lashes out with their weapons in the enemy's general direction. There's high pitch roar, spray of greenish-white blood, and L33tz4n is violently thrown across the path into a tree. The creature flickers into visibility and falls to the ground. It bounces around like a fish for a while before dying.
For the first time, you manage to get a look at the creature. It has two legs and four tentacle-like arms. It's quite large, almost ten feet tall, and its body shape is best described as "Strong Mad". The creature appears to have no eyes or nose, and is covered with very small scales. The occasional ray of light shoots through the scales. No doubt, this creature's skin is nothing more than a giant, natural monitor.

[Violet CLM]

Stop examining the dead thing and rush over to L33tz4n.

[Radium]

<b>You stop looking at the dead thing (even though it's quite entertaining) and rush over to L33t4n. She appears to be unconsious. Actually, she is unconsious.

[Violet CLM]

Is she wounded?

Tell Faw to conduct a complete examination of the dead thing, and to be ready with results once finished.

[Radium]

<b>The back of her head seems to be bleeding a little. From being thrown into a tree, probably.

Fawriel begins to examine the dead thing. Araches helps.

Create a poultice.

<b>You make a poultice out of something and apply it. You feel like a doctor now! +.0001 morale!

Ask Faw if it's good to let people with head injuries rest.

[Radium]

<b>"I dunno," says Faw, "I only took the first year of medical school... but I took it four times!"

"Ok... you go back to your examination, then."

Think of asking Fooruman, but decide against it. Wake up L33tz4n to ask if you should let her rest or not.

[Radium]

<b>"Ok... you go back to your examination, then," you tell Faw. You consider asking Fooruman, but decide better.
L33tz4n starts to wake up a bit. "\/\/h47," she shakes her head, "what happened?"

[Violet CLM]

"You were attacked by a living computer screen, so we killed it. Unfortunately, it kind of threw you at a tree."

[Radium]

<b>"You were attacked by a living computer screen," you explain, "so we killed it. Unfortunately, it kind of threw you at a tree."
L33tz4n looks towards the dead creature, clearly thinking about something. "Go get help in town," she says, before passing out again.

[Violet CLM]

"Araches, you're probably the most trustworthy. Go get someone helpful from town; I'll keep Faw out of trouble."

Take the stick out of Faw's hands, and ask what he's found so far. Keep an eye on Fooruman just in case.

[Radium]

<b>"Araches, you're probably the most trustworthy," you say, "go get someone helpful from town; I'll keep Faw out of trouble."
"Mkay, whatever," Araches says, leaving.
You ask Faw what he's found so far. "I think it's dead," he says sadly.

Just for fun, I'll let you decide who Araches gets. Someone from the town or from Fooruman's old gang.

[Violet CLM]

Ehh... Scholar Sam. Try to get Foo, too.

[Radium]

<b>Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Araches returns with Scholar Sam. "I was told you required my assistance," he says. His eyes move to the dead creature. "A baby Pathbinder! Funny, these usually don't come out until winter."

[Violet CLM]

"Are they sae - wait, baby?"

[Radium]

<b>"Aye, a little girl D=," he says. You aren't sure how he said a smiley, but you're pretty sure it had to do with magic.

[Violet CLM]

"How... how big are the adults?"

[Radium]

<b>"Well, they're a strange species," Sam explains, "they don't have adults and kids like most species, they just sort of grow until someone kills them. They generally prefer cold places, though."

[Violet CLM]

"And how do they reproduce?"

[Radium]

<b>"They're kind of like a normal two-gender reptillian species. Only they don't die from age."

[Violet CLM]

"Well, sounds harmless enough! Could you take a look at L33tz4n? None of us are really all that good at doctor stuff."

[Radium]

<b>"You seem afraid of creatures that reproduce through cruel and unusual ways. Ran into werewolfs or vampires lately?" Scholar Sam asks, "Well, I guess vamps are kind of native to-" He abruptly stops and proceeds to unclimatically cast "Uberheal" on L33tz4n. "Let her rest for a while," he says.

"I don't suppose you could teach that spell to us?"

[Radium]

<b>"Oh, no," he explains, "you're all too stupid."

[Radium]

<b>There's a long silence. "Well, I have an... um... appointment to get to," he explains. He has sounded nervous ever since he happened to mention vampires. "Cya then," he says as he begins to walk off.

"Wait! What's the best way to avoid or repel Pathbinders?"

[Radium]

<b>"If you surround them, one of you'll have to see them not matching their surroundings," he says unusually fast, "now, I have business to attend to..." His eyes are shooting around more nervously than before.

"Did Foo get bitten by a vampire?"

[Radium]

<b>"What? <i>Nooo</i>, my scribe isn't part of this... not that there is any 'this' at all..." he says.
"Sam," Fooruman speaks threateningly, "you aren't..."
"He's dead now, and I'm just finishing it up!" the scholar practically screams back at Fooruman, storming away into the forest. You look at Araches confusedly.

[Violet CLM]

"What was that all about, Fooruman?"

[Radium]

<b>"Something completely unimportant you're better off not being concerned with," he says.

[Violet CLM]

"I don't believe you." Attempt to use Sam's magic smiley thing.

[Radium]

<b>"I don't believe you =D," you say. You got the face wrong, but you think it's a good start and are still proud of yourself.
"It's nothing more than a bit of indirect sibling rivalry between Sam and his now dead brother," Fooruman explains, "hated eachother, the foos did. It could very well be the reason I'm still not out adventuring with Sear, Conquista, and the rest."

[Violet CLM]

"Well, we can't go hauling L33tz4n's body around until she wakes up, and Faw might take a while examining that thing, so we've got a while... why don't you tell us all about it? Dumbledore would."

[Radium]

<b>Fooruman's eyes sparke at the words "Dumble would". "Well," he begins, "you see, our old gang relied heavily on helping people. Sure, Conquista was the ultimate evil, every once and a while the Guru would join us with his supreme powers of neutralness, but when it all came down to it, we were the goodguys. Sam, he... well... let's just say it's quite a non-goodguy thing when two leaders refuse to fight eachother directly," Fooruman glances around nervously, much like Sam, "look, I think L33tz4n's waking up!" he says. L33tz4n is still asleep, and her tongue is hanging out now.

[Violet CLM]

"Are you saying Unfooruman..."

[Radium]

<b>"No, but if I have to tell you..." Fooruman says, "Sam... you see... he's a necromancer. He generally keeps it private; doesn't have a good rep. His brother was a technomancer. Naturally, sharing the same prefix, they started a war. Now, both armies are leaderless, yet the undead and cybernetic still wander the frozen moutains... of the Isle of Darkness." He shudders. "But, let us not concern ourselves with that for now. We have a demon to banish!"

[Violet CLM]

"We do? Oh, right, that." Gesture around randomly. "That was some great foreshadowing. Or exposition."

<b>"We do?" you say, "oh, right, that." You gesture around randomly. "That was some great foreshadowing. Or exposition." Everyone stares at you akwardly.

<b>Not quite sure what you're talking about, but regardless, you look at your surroundings with the mirror. You see trees.

[Radium]

<b>Fawriel hands you the spear.

[Violet CLM]

Take spear.
Walk East with spear held out in front of you.

[Xion]

Let me explain the sinow thing.

Sinows can only be invisible through magic, but magic does not really bounce that well off of mirrors. So we look through a mirrored surface (water works extremely well) and we can see them perfectly fine.


Though these are not Sinows, so I do not know if this will actually work very well.

[Violet CLM]

Why would something have to bounce off of a mirror to be invisible? Wouldn't it be more practical if it was just prevented from bouncing off of the mirror?

[Radium]

<b>Even if the creatures were magic, you are unlucky enough to be in posession of a magic mirror.

You hold the spear in front of you and walk east. You crash into a tree. With the Pathbinder gone, there no longer appears to be a path here. No doubt a hunting tactic.

[Violet CLM]

Go: West.

<b>Possibly, with luck.

Wonder absently if Shuri still exists.

[Radium]

<b>L33tz4n is still asleep. Faw was <s>dragging</s> carrying her. Faw has long since lost interest in the Pathbinder. Shuriken is still quietly standing about a hundred feet from the party.

<b>Lets contact 4I instead, before I get sued or something.

@Xion: It would look like wet grass.
Erm...make the elemental thick enough so that it would reflect...

[Violet CLM]

"Ah, whatever. I'll wait until you feel more social, then."

West. West again if possible, because I forgot where exactly Uberbob is.

[Radium]

<b>According to the Everyone's chars, Shuri's supposed to be secluded. Ur trying to kil me omb conspiracy D=.

I forget where you are too. Lets say you mysteriously wandered to the place where the leaves fell off the trees.

[Violet CLM]

South, south, east, north, then.
I claim this page. And, I guess, the last one.

[Radium]

<b>You return to the trench you found Fooruman in.

[Violet CLM]

Search trench.

[Ekardnamal]

You already did, and you didn't find anything.

[Radium]

<b>Yeah, that.

[Violet CLM]

Place something in the trench.
Find it.
Take it.

[Radium]

<b>You throw Faw in the trench and take him out again.

[Xion]

QUICK! SOMEBODY GET ME BACK TO THE SPHERE.

Something just clicked. (thanks for the sketch, radifoo.)

[Violet CLM]

..east, east, north, north.

[Radium]

<b>You return to the spire. The moonlight shines ominously off its surface. It is currently about ten.

[Xion]

Analyze: North Pillar
Analyze: East side of sphere
==Look at the ring specifically.

[Radium]

<b>The north pillar is about two feet high and with a worn carving of a leaf on it. The east side of the sphere looks like the other sides. Nothing seems unusual about the ring, except that the east side is farthest from the sphere.

[Xion]

hmm...

Analyze: surroundings

Search Memories
==Leaves that looked like the canadian flag

[Ekardnamal]

Maple leaves, you mean.

[Radium]

<b>Around you stands trees, a short cliff, the spire and pillars, and water. The moon is above you. Your party is behind you.

[Ekardnamal]

Can Uberbob remember seeing any maple leaves, though?

[Radium]

<b>He has an old, crumpled one.

[Xion]

place leaf on east side of sphere

[Xion]

grrrrr... I'm going to bed, and I don't want to think about this anymore.

So here you go, ya little jerks.

[Radium]

<b>I don't deserve all the credit, he drew the little patch of grass on the left.

[Ekardnamal]

So the stone blocks are more like altars, then... This makes things more interesting.

[Xion]

Incredible...I just realised something.

Place Gem on Western Pillar

[Violet CLM]

Remember that Radium didn't really mean for us to get the gem. At the very least, not so soon.

[Radium]

<b>You place the gem on the western pillar. Nothing seems to happen.

[Xion]

Remove Gem
Place CrazyT on Western Pillar

[Risp_old]

Have Faw look at CrazyT. Ask him what it looks like.

[Radium]

<b>Faw can't figure out what the CrazyT looks like. You put the CrazyT on the west pillar.

Place a drop of meddeite (the stuff in the vial) on the WEST pillar.

[Ekardnamal]

If you do that, it'll evaporate quickly, so you'll have to work fast.

And I already claimed the page. :P

[Radium]

<b>The vial lands on the pillar. It looks gray against the stone, and dries up a few minutes later.

[Xion]

I am aware, Ekard. I just want to test a theory. That's why I saved before doing this.

[Ekardnamal]

Oh. Sorry. What colour is the meddeite?

[Xion]

Okie doke. Load game.

[Radium]

<b>You load! Yay!

The middenite is clear.

[Xion]

Place Inventory on the West pillar

[Radium]

<b>You stack up all your stuff on the west pillar. It falls off. D=

"Because I can."

[Radium]

<b>"Araches," you address the sorceress, "why do you hate me? What did I ever do besides get you killed repeatedly?"
"Ya know," she says, "apart from poor leadership, that might be it."

"But, you always come back! Besides, as a student of the dark arts, doesn't being dead give you a greater understanding of necromental sciences?

[Radium]

<b>"No, it's kind of painful, actually," she replies.

[Violet CLM]

"Really? I always thought being dead was supposed to be one quick sensation, and then it's all over. How about you kill me and I'll see what it's like?"

[Xion]

Okay, I refused to speak any information, but this is all I'm going to leak.

[19:59] (Radium): Go find a summer. And find a fall. Then go get a winter, the hardest of all! Oooh! I poet!


Spring = South Pillar.

[Violet CLM]

Oooh. THAT makes sense.

[Violet CLM]

If Spring is a Spring... Summer would be someone who does Sums... Fall I have no idea... and the Berry is probably a Winter Berry.
Winter berry (Bot.), the name of several American shrubs (Ilex verticillata, I. l[ae]vigata, etc.) of the Holly family, having bright red berries conspicuous in winter.

[Risp_old]

Fall would mean you have to fall onto a pillar, or something.

[Radium]

<b>Really? I always thought being dead was supposed to be one quick sensation, and then it's all over," you say.
"Well, yeah, but you aren't exactly getting me euthanized," Araches responds.

[Xion]

hm...

Check Inventory

[Radium]

<b>Dude, you just checked the inventory. It hasn't changed since then. And I'm on a different computer; I don't have Inventory.txt here. I don't see why I should have to do work that you could just as easily accomplish. I'll make a new Inventory.txt when it becomes important and you get big items with long names and stuff. For now, just look back.

<b>You merrily prance back to the link of forest south of the camera. Exits are north and west.

Use wings to fly southeast to the citadel.

<b>You can not fly that far, and would probably end up hurting yourself anyway.
