A Rope is hanging off a pulley here

[Aiel Heart]

*Investigates plant as it might be hiding something with its broad leaves*

[Ireond]

Aiel Heart: Behind the plant you see a button.

[Aiel Heart]

*Picks up the purple star-shaped button, wondering how it got there*

[Mashiara Sedai]

Well, I've still got a chicken. I'm gonna *go down* counting on my Zelda playing experience to have faith that the chicken will make me float.

[Ireond]

The button matches a hole above the fireplace

[Aiel Heart]

*Looks at the fireplace carefully, then slowly inserts button in the hole*

[Ireond]

Mashiara: You hold the chicken above your head and slowly walk down the steps into a courtyard.

The chicken lays an egg in your hair

Exits are Up, North, West, East

 

Aiel Heart: You hear a click from the painting

[Mashiara Sedai]

Darn. I wanted to jump out a window and fly. :(

 

*takes egg out of hair and puts it in my shawl, where it's warmer. Goes east*

[Aiel Heart]

*Dashes out of the door, ducks behind the stone wall, and listens*

[Ireond]

Mashiara: You walk into a front hall. There is a bench and a coat rack here.

Exits are west, south

 

Aiel Heart: You hear the wind and bird song.

 

Exits are east, west, down.

 

and I'm heading to bed.

[Mashiara Sedai]

*snuggle up with the chicken and the egg on the bench, then goes to sleep*

[Gabriel Kross]

omg lol, all because of something posted in the Cuen thread :P

[Karasayl]

LOL this thread certainly brought me back to the good old days of MUD text games.

[Gabriel Kross]

did you go look at what started this?

[Ireond]

LOL this thread certainly brought me back to the good old days of MUD text games.

 

I used to work for a hobby/game/toy store ordering the boardgames. There's a series of games out there ( http://memento-mori.com/online-store/parsely-games/ ) that basically give a dm the general program, and then you run players through it. Those are a little more strict over commands, as you still give commands of exit east, look at plant, and so one. They can be a bit more fun for beginners if you're not to strict on commands, but it does make it easier to run if they don't string five or six things together. The joy is, there's not much dice rolling, so it's something you can throw together on a BB without too much problem.

[Mashiara Sedai]

*wakes up*

 

Did my chicken egg hatch?

[Aiel Heart]

*Peeks in through a window to see if she can still hear ticking*

[Ireond]

Not a ticking.. A click. Like a latch.

 

Nope. it's an egg.

[Aiel Heart]

*Realizes that there was only the sound a single time and decides to investigate the painting*

[Gabriel Kross]

Don't worry you'll end up throwing the egg at AH before to much longer lol

[Mashiara Sedai]

*Mashi and chicken and egg go south*

[Ireond]

Aiel Heart: The painting swings on hinges. Behind it is a dimly lit tunnel that slowly fades to darkness

 

Mashiara Sedai: You enter a room. A staircase is towards the back. There is a pulley attached to the wall with a sign that says "Do not pull"

A servant is here complaining about feathers and sweeping the floor

 

Exits are West, North, Up, and Out

[Aiel Heart]

*with a torch in one hand and the silly string in another, Heart slowly creeps down the hall*

[Aiel Heart]

I wonder what ever happened with the rope that I pulled....

[Mashiara Sedai]

*goes north before something bad happens with the rope and pulley*
