+
+What Now? SOUTH
+
+<< Behind The Altar >>
+You stand behind the altar looking northward along the length of the church

+A sudden draft blows out your candle. <-- Candle only stays lit inside Church.
+
+<< The Stairs >>
+You are climbing a set of steep, slippery stairs that lead up into the church
+tower. Water runs down the steps, collecting in mossy pools, where the cracks
+and dips in the stonework allow it. The steps turn from stone to wood up
+above, and look very dodgy.
+
+To the west a doorway leads out into the pulpit.
+
+What Now? WEST
+
+<< The Pulpit >>
+You stand in the rotting remains of what was the pulpit, looking north along
+the length of the church hall, a sorry sight indeed, and also gazing up
+through the holes in the roof, skyward.

+There is a large wooden sign nailed to the pulpit. Its paint is flaked and
+faded.
+
+A doorway leads east onto some stairs.
+
+What Now? READ SIGN
+
+The paint is cracked and faded and the letters are difficult to read.
+However, it appears to be a long list of commandments. There are many, many,
+many more than ten. Your eyes scan the list and fall randomly on a
+commandment near the bottom of the list.
+
+You just make it out...
+
+COMMANDMENT #12592
+Oh ye who write Adventure Games that torment the player with stupid puzzles:
+Dost thou know the magnitude of thy sin before the gods? Yea, verily, thou
+shalt be ground between two stones. Shall the angry gods cast thy body into
+the whirlpool? Surely, thy eye shall be put out with a sharp stick! Even
+unto the ends of the earth shalt thou wander and unto the land of the dead
+shalt thou be sent at last. Surely thou shalt repent of thy low cunning.

+ A golden weathercock has been left here, somewhat out of order.
+
+What Now? GET COCK AND EXAMINE IT
+
+You are now carrying the golden weathercock.

+The ledge juts out over the chasm. However, it is still too far away to jump.
+You don't see how you get across to the ledge.
+
+What Now? EXAMINE CHASM
+
+You peer across the chasm and can just make out the other side through the
+thick white mist. The chasm is too wide to jump. You drop a small rock over

+
+What Now? GET CUPS AND EXAMINE THEM
+
+You are now carrying the suction cups.
+
+The suction cups are connected to a metal bar with a handle to hold them.
+These are the kind of suction cups that are used to hold on to something flat
+such as a large glass window. A window washer on a high-rise building might
+use these to hold himself on to the glass by giving the command "ATTACH
+SUCTION CUPS TO WINDOW." These could come in handy if you have to wash some
+windows.

+<< Southern end of long hall >>
+You are at the southern end of a long hall. A stairway leads up into the

+ Next to the steel door is a small slot.
+
+What Now? SOUTH
+
+<< Programmer's Den >>
+You are in a strange room with exits to both the north and south. Both exits
+have curtains draw over them. The floor is carpeted, the walls are rubber, the
+room is strewn with papers, listings, books, and half-empty JOLT Cola bottles.
+The cryptic anagram "D + A = L" is inscribed throughout the room. The south
+wall is almost covered by a large color centerfold of a naked supercomputer.
+A sign on the wall says,
+
+ "PROGRAMMER'S DEN"
+
+The software wizard is nowhere to be seen.
+
+There are many computers here: micros, minis, maxis and megas.

+air-conditioning duct in the east wall.
+
+What Now? EXAMINE DUCT
+
+The air-conditioning duct is near the bottom of the east wall. It is covered
+by a metal grate. Very COLD air is blowing through it. You are going to
+freeze if you stay here much longer.
+
+What Now? GET DUCT
+
+You manage to remove the grate covering the duct. Like a true adventurer,
+you then let your imagination get the better of your good sense and you crawl
+into the duct. You crawl about a hundred feet further into the duct before
+you pause to rest at a place where the duct turns to the south. The air is
+still blasting away in the duct and you are very, very cold!
+
+Your score just increase by 10 to 195. <-- Removing duct is worth 10 points.

+<< End Of The Duct >>
+You at the mouth of a small opening overlooking a large windy cavern. To the
+north is a duct that extends as far as you can see. The duct is only about
+three feet high, so you will need to crawl if you go north. You can also
+climb down or go south to enter the windy cavern. It is very cold here!
+
+What Now? SOUTH
+
+<< Windy cavern >>
+You in a large cavern. The cavern has a large hole in the ceiling high above
+your head. The hole is too far above you to exit that way. An incredibly
+strong wind blows through the hole in the ceiling. The wind is very, very

+close.
+ There is a pocket on the right side of the parka. (in the parka)
+ And, strangely enough, a pocket on the left side also. (in the parka)
+
+What Now? EXAMINE POCKET
+
+Which "POCKET", the RIGHT POCKET or the LEFT POCKET?
+
+THE RIGHT POCKET
+
+Pockets are funny. It's hard to tell whether they're left or right. If it's
+your jacket and you're wearing it, this would be the right pocket. If it was
+someone else's jacket and they were wearing it while you were examining it,
+well not only would it be the left pocket but you'd probably get your face
+slapped.
+
+What Now? OPEN RIGHT POCKET
+
+The right pocket is now open.

+What Now? OPEN LEFT POCKET
+
+The left pocket is now open.
+

+ There is a gold key here. (in the pocket)
+
+What Now? GET KEY AND EXAMINE IT
+
+You are now carrying the gold key.
+
+It's one of those old fashioned keys that looks sort of like a 'K'. It is
+made of the finest gold and has the initials R.W. engraved delicately on one
+side.
+
+What Now? GET FOOT AND EXAMINE IT
+
+You are now carrying the rabbit's foot.
+
+The foot looks like it came from a mighty BIG rabbit. I would sure hate to
+run into the sucker who belongs with this foot!
+
+What Now? GET MAIL AND EXAMINE IT
+
+You are now carrying the mail pile.
+
+The 'pile' of mail looks more like a man-made mountain.
+
+What Now? READ MAIL
+
+Every envelope is addressed to Ralph Witt.
+
+Have you forgotten the "Adventurer's Oath" you took to be a goodie two shoes
+and to not do anything illegal in this game? Remember, it is a federal

+
+What Now? EXAMINE CHAIR
+
+It's one of those cushy swivel chairs. Sitting in it would be hazardous to
+the completion of your task. It looks far too comfortable.
+
+What Now? EXAMINE COMPAQ
+
+This is one of those new 100 MegaHertz screamers with the latest in laser
+storage devices. Witt is obviously a POWER user. The monitor actually looks
+more like a hologram. There is a 3D view of the cave with many lines running
+from location to location.
+
+What Now? READ IT
+
+The cave is obviously a very confusing place with locations connected to other
+places with little or no rhyme or reason. Witt is deranged and so is his
+cave.
