This is the walkthrough for Marooned. Please note that some events do not take place at the same time as in this walkthrough; I will note these below with brackets {}.



Marooned v1
After finishing with some afternoon fishing, you notiice some rather dark and menacing clouds have snuck op on you.  While preparing to head back to port,  the wind picks up and jagged streaks of lightning stab the sky. A heavy rain begins to pelt you.  The waves grow stronger and threaten to dump you in the raging ocean.

Dark clouds drift overhead and the ocean swirls angrily around the boat. You can barely make out anything in front of you.

Despite your attempts to keep the boat upright, a huge wave hits you and dumps you into the raging ocean. You plunge deep into the water and everything is confusion. You can't tell up from down as you struggle to make your way to the surface.  You see what appears to be an island and use all your strength to swim towards it. After struggling with the surf, you pull yourself onto a beach.  Tired and with muscles aching, you black out and sleep for what seems like hours.............

And when you wake up, you don't know where you are. Some kind of island, but you can't see or hear anything to indicate it's inhabited. One thing is clear though. You must somehow get off this speck in the middle of the ocean.

This is a small river cutting through the heart of the jungle. You can easily ford it and it twists and turns all over the place.


west

You find the beginning of the river. The river starts out as a small creek which grows larger and larger and is fed by an underground spring. The water is cool and crystal clear and quickly flow on its way.

A monkey is here.

{give berries to monkey}<----------do this whenever you can find the Monkey.

You lay the berries down and slowly back away. At first, he looks at them cautiously, then picks them up and begins to eat them. After a minute or two, he falls over and appears to pass out. Something rolls out of his hand.

What flint?

get flint
You pick up the small piece of flint.

west

This is a short beach surrounded by thick jungle growth to the north and south. Offshore about five yards to the west  is a large fishing boat, the kind that people charter to take them out to deep sea fish. Coral reefs circle the island just a few yards offshore.

You move west.
This boat is roughly thirty feet long and ten feet wide and is resting on a reef just offshore at a 45 degree angle. From this point of view, you can't see why it came to rest here, but the stern is under water.  Every so often, the boat rocks gently against the waves.
 Also here is a couple of tires.

This part of the beach has a lot of seaweed and debris washed up on it, creating a huge ugly eyesore. But at least this suggests that the island is not far from the shipping lanes.

pour gas on tires

You pour what's left of the gas on the tires.

light tires


You strike the blade of the knife against the piece of flint, and an ever so small spark jumps out. You try again and more sparks fly, and you succeed in starting a fire. Because of the gas on the tires, the flames spread quickly and soon the tires are a flaming mass giving off a large cloud of thick black smoke.

You scan the horizon and see a ship sailing past the island. Apparently, they have seen the smoke and are coming towards you.
