They\'re in the maze, aren\'t they?

Apparently the CMON rendering engine has some trouble with a url that has \"ell oh ell\" in the middle. Behold my html skill!

Ah, the Zork memories.

[Sand Rat]

Hmm - it worked when I posted it.

Exactly. Grues are where your light is not!

 

[freakinacage]

wtf?

 

[Yetie]

I\'m with you on this one freak wtf???

 

[Sand Rat]

Grues are a monster from the old infocom Zork games -

They usually hid in the dark and ate you.

 

[airhead]

I attack the Gazebo. What does it do?

 

[Sand Rat]

It does nothing.

 

[Gilvan Blight]

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

> what is a grue?
The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

 

[airhead]

I shoot magic missle at the gazebo.

 

[Sand Rat]

It does nothing.

 

[Undave]

I\'d offer to lend a hand but according to the Munchkin card \"No one can help you. You must face the gazebo alone.\"


Sorry.

 

[Sand Rat]

The Gazebo does . . . . . . . . . . . . nothing.

 

[MPJ]

It\'s been a while, OK damn close to 20 years, since I\'ve played Zork. But as I recall you get to kill the Grue after you complete the maze don\'t you?

Or is that when you get to kill the thief? Brain cells getting old, can\'t remember... :drunk:

 

[Sand Rat]

Thats the thief - that I know of you can never kill the grue in the original Zorks.

I cast polymorph on the gazebo and transform it into a octagonal freestanding pavilion structure of the type typically found in formal gardens.
