instantly electrocuted. Was that my imagination, or did I hear
the chuckling of the mad scientist as he came in to exploit
this new source of spare parts (you)?
!MESSAGE FAMILIAR
"Funny!" says the troll. "Someone like you was here a while ago,
only the hair was different. I suppose I'd better let you pass."
!MESSAGE FINDEIGHT
Digging further, you discover a large hoard of pieces of Eight!
!MESSAGE FIZZMESS
There is a loud crackling sound as the rod comes into contact
with the live wires and completes an electrical circuit. At
the same time you hear sounds from the laboratory as though
something might be stirring.
!MESSAGE FUNNYBOWL
You tilt the bowl and attempt to empty out the water, but, strange
to tell, the liquid stays inside. Offhand I'd say there was something
magical going on.
!MESSAGE GHOSTTRAIN
You step out into space, and find that you are on an invisible
train which was waiting at the platform. This Ghost Train gives
a piercing HOOT and then acclerates rapidly. As your eyes accustom
themselves to your surroundings, you catch sight of various spectral
commuters reading The Phantasmal Times and other ethereal papers.
There is no sign of the ticket in-spectre. After a while the
train halts and you dismount to discover that...
!MESSAGE GIVER0
"One visit only, mind!" says the troll as you pass.
!MESSAGE GIVERIB
You enter the cell to discover a fair maiden chained to the
wall. "My father's staff!" says she, as you enter. You hand it
over to her and explain that you are here to rescue her. "Take
this token to my father and he will know what to do." she replies,
handing you a ribbon from her hair. You return into the ante-room.
!MESSAGE GOBDIES

!MESSAGE HANDSF2
You've had to leave some things, as your hands are now full.

You see the Monster of Murdac as it strides along the corridor
past the alcove. You then hear a mighty crash as it walks straight
through the western wall.
!MESSAGE HEARDROP
You hear something drop, but you don't see it.
!MESSAGE HEARGNO
As you pass through the secret portal you hear the word GNOEVAL
resonate from something in front of you.
!MESSAGE HELPMESS
Explore Murdac - a land of monsters and mysterious beings, a
world where magic holds sway and things are not what they seem.
Can you rescue the wizard's daughter, tame the lion, outwit the
Old Man of the Sea, and escape alive from the haunted house? And
what is the ultimate destiny of Frankenstein's monster?
There is treasure too in the land of Murdac - and it is indeed a
cunning adventurer who can finally fulfil his quest!
Anyway, your mission is to make off with all the loot.
I shall be your eyes and ears: instruct me with commands of one or
two words. To move, give directions (N, NE, ..., NW, U, D, B(ack)).
Other useful words include TAKE, DROP, LOOK, INV, SCORE, SAVE and
QUIT, plus some that you must discover for yourself. Good luck!

!SWITCH KEEPG0 KEEPG1
!MESSAGE KEEPG0
The passage widens into a vast chamber which is full of soldiers
some armed with long bows, others with halberds, maces or swords.
Their lord is a venerable man who is sitting in a very
expensively upholstered armchair.
"Greetings!" says the old man. "I am the Keeper of Murdac. Leave
your possessions here with me and they will be safe until you return
in triumph. You may take the lamp if it is needed on your quest."
!MESSAGE KEEPG1
"Welcome again!" says the Keeper. "Leave all with me save the lamp."
!MESSAGE KEEPTAK1
"Congratulations" says the Keeper. "You are now ready to
join the companionship of Murdac. But there is still one
thing you must now do." He hesitates, then asks:
!MESSAGE KEEPTAK2
"What object will you take with you on your journey?"
!MESSAGE KEEPTAK3
Darkness descends on the keep. There are sounds the like
of which no other man could hear and still retain his sanity.
Suddenly light returns and you see that...
!MESSAGE LADYLAKE
The waters in the centre of the lake part and a hand and arm appear,
grasping a gleaming sword (surprisingly, not at all rusty!) The Lady
of the Lake, if that is who it is, flings the sword towards you so
that it lands at your feet. The hand then disappears, and the waters
regain their calm.

!MESSAGE LIONSLEEP
As you wave the beads at the lion, it seems to be mesmerised,
and in fact quickly falls into a deep sleep.
!MESSAGE MANTDEATH
You have no time to seek an antidote and die an agonizing death.
!MESSAGE MISSION
The cannibals are so attracted by the beads that they leave off
their culinary activities, take the beads from you, and begin
to play with them. The missionary takes the opportunity to
leap from the cauldron, and with a breathless "Thank you, my
son!" thrusts a book into your hand, and runs off.
Examining his gift you see that it is in fact a Gutenburg bible!
!MESSAGE MONSTPANG
In the gloom you collide with the corpse, which is now
very much alive. This is more than I can say for you,
since it wrenches your head off your shoulders.

The corpse, now reanimated, lurches out onto the plank a second
or two later.

Looking round you, you see that...

The wizard appears once more. "That's her ribbon!" he says.
"You have found her." You explain the nature of his daughter's
plight, and he takes the ribbon from you, handing you a scroll,
saying "May this aid you on your quest." He then vanishes again.

At the top of the hill you find the wizard and his daughter,
happily re-united. They congratulate you on fulfilling your
quest, and disappear, leaving a munificent reward behind.

You reenter the cell to be met by hysterics from the wizard's

MURDAC - Background information
The forests of Murdac are some of the oldest, as well as the
wildest and most isolated, in the whole land. Also they don't
take kindly to intruders -- although living on the outermost
fringes of the great forest, you have never been able to
penetrate it: every time that you followed a track into the dark
woods, you found that it somehow turned and took you away from
the secret heartlands of Murdac.
It became almost an obsession with you. 'What is the secret of
Murdac?' you wondered, frustrated at every turn. In the land
where nobody ever set foot, there was surely some dread mystery
to be revealed.
In your village there lived a wise woman, Duessa by name. Some
folk said that she was a sorceress, and could cause the milk to
go sour just by scratching her nose. Others said that the reason
old Uncle George had only lived to be 91 (when his father had
reached 102) was because he had tripped over Duessa's cat when
drunk. Obviously a woman to be wary of, especially if you wanted
to make sure that you came home without growing an extra ear on
the way. She certainly knew a few secrets that nobody else in the
village did -- like what it meant if you saw a rabbit hiccuping
on the night of the full moon -- and if anyone could tell you
about Murdac, it was Duessa.
So you made your way to her ancient cottage, knocked on the
door, and waited. "Come in, my young friend," said a quavering
voice. "I've been expecting you!" The inside of Duessa's cottage
was very dirty, and full of strange and interesting objects --
glass apparatus billowing noxious vapours, a stuffed platypus,
icosahedral prisms, and many other curios.
Duessa muttered incoherently to herself. "This one looks
brighter than the last ... it is time that the quest were done
.. the wizard needs help ... but as for the manticore..." were
fragments that you heard as she busily pottered around her
cottage looking for something.
The wise woman returned, bearing an old teapot. Just as you were
wondering whether to accept a cuppa, she tipped the contents of
the pot into the hearth and gazed at them raptly. Deciding that
the omens were favourable, Duessa gave you your instructions, and
you left her cottage. As you departed, you heard the wise woman
mutter, "I hope he gets there before the ogres have finished. But
I suppose the Old Man of the Sea will get him anyway..."
Following Duessa's instructions, you went down a certain path at
midnight on Hallowe'en, until you came to a clearing. There you
drew a pentacle, stood within it, and shouted "PANGORY
PANTHRODULAM" - words of power that she had given you. Was the
intonation right? If not you might find yourself rotting in a
gloomy dungeon for ten thousand aeons, tormented by creatures
from the lower planes. But nothing like that happened.
The trees moved around you, exposing a long path which stretched
away for miles. You followed it, with trepidation, and the trees
closed up behind you. After several hours of tireless trudging,
you arrived at your goal. But... but... was THIS Murdac? A
beautifully laid out garden? A small stone hut? Where were the
ogres? The cannibals? The Old Man of the Sea? Now is the time for
you to explore further, but do be VERY careful -- it's not every
adventurer who is going to survive in this totally alien world!
