Turn Dial: South
Go: South
Analyze: machine

You walk south. The room here is still incredibly hot like a furnace, and can not be passed.

...then where is the room with the machine?

Turn Dial East
Go East
Look

If room with machine != Down paths
==Go: West
==Turn Dial West
==Go: West

You turn the dial east, the hall lights up, and you walk down it. Exits are north, south, and west.

North has Fox, right?
And we were just in south...

Go: West
Turn Dial West
Go: West

You return to the dial, turn it, and take the west path. There is a door on the south wall, and the only other exit is back east.

Open door.

You open the door.

Enter door

We should be in the room with the bars and the machine, right?

You walk into the room with the bars and the machine.

... You forgot to bold the reply!!!!!

Save game

(I wanna do some experimentation.)

SAVD

Jab Katana into Machine
Repeat untill Katana goes through machine wall.

The katana bounces harmlessly off of the machine surface. Tough metal.

Examine: Machine

The machine is warm to the touch. It has no controls. You think you hear a crackling noise coming from behind it.

Is there any way to see behind it?

This is the furnace...

Go: EENWNW
Pull Lever
Go: North
Steal Faw's spear
Go: South
Pull Lever
Go: ESESWW
Attempt to switch lever with Spear

The lever is too rusty to be pushed with a spear. You'd need to be on the other side of the wall.

Analyze Bars

The bars are magical and immortal and there is no chance that I will ever move them, so for the time being, they are best left ignored.

Go: East, East
Turn Dial East
Go: East, South, South
Analyze Machine

It's north, east to the dial, and east, south to the machine.

You return to the machine and look at it. It is cold to the touch and has an air vent on it's face, which sucks in a steady flow of air.

Use: katana: Vent
Save Game

You stick the katana through the vent. You remove it, frosty. Game saved.

Enter vent

You, being more three dimentional than the sword, do not posess the ability to slide through a vent.

analyze vent

The vent is about a foot high and a bit over a foot wide. It is held to the machine by screws, and the slits in it's surface is are about a centimeter wide.

Can the vent be pried off?

If not, can we remove the screws with the katana?

You ask the vent, but it doesn't reply.

...Attempt to pry vent off with katana.

If that doesn't work, attempt to remove screws with katana, then pry the vent off with the katana.

You pry at the vent until it pops off and clatters to the floor. Yay.

Enter Vent
