Elizabethan tearoom.
This cosy, Tudor period room is where all MUD adventures start. Its exposed
oak beams and soft, velvet-covered furniture provide it with the ideal
atmosphere in which to relax before venturing out into that strange, timeless
realm. A sense of decency and decorum prevails, and a feeling of kinship with
those who, like you, seek their destiny in The Land. When you are suitably
composed, you may enter that domain by stepping through an opening to the
north; however, you are welcome to stay here for as long as you like, sipping
tea and watching the world go by.
Drizzle the wobbly mage continues to be the ultimate pelican crossing
(whatever that means) holding a cup of tea.

As you step through the opening, you become swathed in a fine, gossamer mist.
The Elizabethan tearoom fades hazily away, and vague, new shapes begin to form
around you. Their outlines become more defined, their colours grow stronger,
and the mist thins out into pale wisps, which gradually disperse away to
nothingness...
Narrow road between lands.
You are stood on a narrow road between The Land and whence you came. To the
north and south are the small foothills of a pair of majestic mountains, with
a large wall running round. To the west the road continues, where in the
distance you can see a thatched cottage opposite an ancient cemetery. The way
out is to the east, where a shroud of mist covers the secret pass by which you
entered The Land. It is raining.
*
e
Badly-paved road.
You are standing on a badly-paved road, which runs from the east to stop at a
large wall constructed to the west. There is a narrow gap in this blockage,
but it is so tight that if you wanted to go that way you'd have to drop
everything to get through. North and south are the foothills of a pair of
majestic mountains, and northeast is a deep valley. It is raining. A
streetsign has fallen here.

Foothills.
These are the rolling foothills of a majestic mountain which towers high above
you some way to the north, beyond some higher foothills. South is an east-west
road, across which can be seen yet more foothills of a slightly smaller
mountain. East lies a deep valley, which rises up into a heath to the
northeast of where you stand. West is a sturdy wall, too large to scale. It is
raining.
*
n
Foothills.
You are standing amongst the foothills of a majestic mountain, which rises to
the north. South and northeast are more foothills, and east lies a heath. Your
movement west is prevented by a large wall, built to repel intruders such as
yourself. It is raining. Before you stands a magnificent ram.
*
n
North mountain.
You are scaling the lower slopes of a majestic mountain. Its peak lies high
above the clouds far to the north, although progress that way is only limited
due to an interposing cliff which stands out boldly after some more climbable
slopes. South are foothills. It is raining. A horrifying zombie (zombie6)
stands in your way! The zombie6 is carrying a staff0.

You are clambering about the foothills of a majestic mountain which climbs
above the clouds to the north. Unfortunately, there is a towering cliff there,
too large to ascend, but part of the mountain (to the west) is accessible.
Southwest lie further foothills, and southeast is all heath. Northeast is a
forest. It is raining. A horrifying zombie (zombie4) stands in your way! The
zombie4 is carrying a well-maintained pick2. Perched nearby is a splendid, red
and blue parrot.
*
The parrot says "Who's a pretty boy, then?".
*

North mountain.
You are scrambling up the slopes of a majestic mountain which spears through
the clouds far to the north, above a steep cliff. East lie foothills, and
there are lower slopes to the south. The sheer immensity of the mountain takes
your breath away. It is raining.

North mountain.
You are standing in the lower slopes of a majestic mountain beside a huge
cliff to the north, which towers high above you. So rugged is the cliff that
you cannot climb it, only gasp at the geological wonder of it all. The
mountain slopes downwards to the south, and continues at the same level to the
west.

The mountain is too steep to ascend in that direction.

Foothills.
You are clambering about the foothills of a majestic mountain which climbs
above the clouds to the north. Unfortunately, there is a towering cliff there,
too large to ascend, but part of the mountain (to the west) is accessible.
Southwest lie further foothills, and southeast is all heath. Northeast is a
forest.
*
e
Rough heath.
This is a band of rough heathland, which curves from the south to continue to
the east. Southeast lies the base of a large mountain, but northwest are the
foothills of one even larger, and far more majestic. North is forest, through
which can be espied an ornate wall. Perched nearby is a splendid, red and blue
parrot.
*
The parrot says "Hello".
*
e
Rough heath.
You are walking across a rough heath, which continues to the east, west and
southwest. South is the base of a large mountain, the peak of which is partly
obscured by the clouds which flank it some way up. North from here is mainly
forest, although in the distance to the northwest is an enormous mountain,
more majestic than the other.
*
e
Rough heath.
You are striding across a rough heath, between a forest in the north and a
mountain to the south. East is the bank of a river, and west the heath
continues. Through the trees to the north can be glimpsed a small tower of
some kind.
*
e
Bank of river.
You find yourself on the bank of a fast-flowing river, where the heath to the
west is parted from the forest on the opposite bank. The river flows from the
north, and continues to the south, cutting off a narrow strip of land trapped
between it and the steep mountain you spy to the southwest.
*
e
The river is flowing too fast for you to be able to cross.
*
s
Bank of river.
This is a narrow strip of land wedged between a fast-flowing river to the
east, and a (climbable) mountain to the west. The river cuts its way
north-south, and makes quite some noise. You can't see much of what the
landscape on the opposite bank is like for the trees there.
*
s
Bank of river.
This is the west bank of a river, which flows north to south very quickly. The
opposite bank is forested, but here the ground is clear. To the northwest rise
the steep slopes of a tall mountain, its peak towering high above the clouds.
*
w
Middle mountain.
You are now scaling the rugged east face of the middle mountain. Although
steep, it is still possible to ascend (into the mists which drape the mountain
beneath the peak) and descend (onto the banks of a river to the east). At the
same altitude, the mountain continues to the northwest and southwest, and
ceases to the south where is nestled a ramshackle old stable.

Misty part of middle mountain.
The thick, heavy mist that hangs dankly in the air here reduces your vision to

Middle mountain.
This is a steep, yet thankfully climbable, mountain. The present height above
sea level is maintained to the west and northeast, but to the north the
mountain rises into the clouds and beyond. To the east you can see a stable,
and further still, a deep river. To the south is a badly-paved road running
east-west, on the opposite side of which there is an inn.
*
s
Badly-paved road.
You are standing on a badly-paved road between a mountain, to the north, and
the doorway of a wayside inn, directly to the south. East, the road fords a
fast-flowing river, and west it continues. To the northeast is a ramshackle
old building, and southeast there seems to be a well of some kind. The door is
open.
*
in
Entrance hall.
This small room is the entrance hall of the "Admiral Bombow" inn. The way out
is through a doorway to the north, which leads directly on to a road. West is
the public bar, east leads to the snug, and some inhospitable steps to the
south lead upwards. The room is very dusty, as if it has not been entered for
some time. The door is open.
*
up
Inn steps.
You are on a staircase leading from the north up to the south. Above you, the
ceiling slants with the same cycle as the steps do, indicating another
staircase overhead. At the bottom is a small entrance hall, and at the top the
steps open up onto a corridor.

Inn steps.
You press hard against the wall to prevent yourself from falling down these
surprisingly difficult and steep steps. At their upper end, they open up onto
the eastern section of an attic, whereas at their lower end, to the west, they
join a narrow, north-south passage.
*in
East part of attic.
You are crouched on one of the dusty oak beams which makes up the floor of
this eastern end of the attic. Just above your head is the ancient thatch of
the inn's roof, its once-golden hue now darkened to a sickly grey over the
centuries. The attic extends to the north and south, and steps to the west
lead down. Lying nearby is a long piece of golden straw.
*
n
North part of attic.
You are stooping beneath the low roof of the attic of an inn, and although the
thatch seems to have borne well the chill north winds, the floor has been
victim to some dampness in the past, and has been patched over in makeshift
fashion with creaky old boards. From here, you can reach all parts of the
attic, to the east, south and west, although to the south you have to squeeze
past a sturdy brick wall which holds the roof up.
*
w
West part of attic.
This part of the attic must once have been used for storage of some kind, as
the floor is less dusty than you would expect. Low above your head is a
thatched roof, sagging in places below the strong, timber beams which support
it. To the north and south are other parts of the attic, but your way east is
blocked by a central area of brickwork which shields steps on the other side.
Inscribed on the floor is a circle.

With a flash of insight, you realise that you'd bash your nose if you tried to
walk through the brick wall.

floor is strewn in dusty straw, much of which appears to have fallen from the
ill-kept thatched roof which hangs low above your head. Joining the floor to

the floors below. The attic has other distinct sections to the north, east and
west of you.

Meeting room.
Standing in the southwest corner of this room, by the only door, you can see
it has been laid out ostensibly as a meeting room of some kind (or, more
probably, as a gambling den). Narrow slits in the wall take the place of
windows, indicating that once, perhaps, the room was used as a defensive
position, overlooking as it does the main entrance to the building. It is
decorated in sombre colours, and the smell of stale pipe tobacco still hangs
in the air. The door is open. A dusty, battered, old teachest stands here.

Party room.
This huge room takes up over a third of the area of the second floor of the
"Admiral Bombow" inn. It has but one door, albeit a wide one, to the east onto
a passageway. Wide windows overlook open countryside in all other directions,
with particularly fine views to the north, where can be seen a magnificent
mountain. There is no glass in any of the windows, however, and because of
this the room has been badly exposed to the weather, and is filled with dust
and debris accumulated over many, many years. By your feet lies a wine glass.
The wine glass10 contains claret. Standing within reach is a beer glass. There
is a small drinking glass here. A round, glass bottle lies here, stoppered,
and marked: "cider". The glass bottle6 contains cider. You notice a stoppered,
old glass bottle here, marked: "whisky". The glass bottle5 contains whisky.

There are open windows along the side of the building, which you could easily
enter, to the north.

You are clasping your hands onto the handrail of an ancient balcony jutting
out from the second floor of a large building. The room to which it formerly

with the adjacent room through broken windows. A weatherbeaten terracotta vase
stands here.

dense to allow passage. Here, however, the forest is noticeably thinner,

encroaching. Before you stands an old, stone sundial, overgrown with ivy. The

Elizabethan tearoom.
This cosy, Tudor period room is where all MUD adventures start. Its exposed
oak beams and soft, velvet-covered furniture provide it with the ideal
atmosphere in which to relax before venturing out into that strange, timeless
realm. A sense of decency and decorum prevails, and a feeling of kinship with
those who, like you, seek their destiny in The Land. When you are suitably
composed, you may enter that domain by stepping through an opening to the
north; however, you are welcome to stay here for as long as you like, sipping
tea and watching the world go by.
Drizzle the wobbly mage continues to be the ultimate pelican crossing
(whatever that means) holding a cup of tea.

oak beams and soft, velvet-covered furniture provide it with the ideal
atmosphere in which to relax before venturing out into that strange, timeless

those who, like you, seek their destiny in The Land. When you are suitably
composed, you may enter that domain by stepping through an opening to the

Elizabethan tearoom.
This cosy, Tudor period room is where all MUD adventures start. Its exposed
oak beams and soft, velvet-covered furniture provide it with the ideal
atmosphere in which to relax before venturing out into that strange, timeless
realm. A sense of decency and decorum prevails, and a feeling of kinship with
those who, like you, seek their destiny in The Land. When you are suitably
composed, you may enter that domain by stepping through an opening to the
north; however, you are welcome to stay here for as long as you like, sipping
tea and watching the world go by.

ZW
You step through the opening into a blurred patchwork of greens and browns,
which whirl around you in seemingly aimless patterns until they suddenly slide
into shape...
Dense forest.
You find yourself standing in a section of dense forest, which continues to
the west and southeast. Through the trees to the east can be seen the tower of
what looks to be a belfry, and south is heath. Northwards is a strange, ornate
wall, curiously enlivened by all manner of stylised eastern symbols. A raft,
large enough to carry one person, has been left here. A beautiful, iridescent
firestone (firestone1) glows nearby.
*ZW
Rough heath.
This is a band of rough heathland, which curves from the south to continue to
the east. Southeast lies the base of a large mountain, but northwest are the
foothills of one even larger, and far more majestic. North is forest, through
which can be espied an ornate wall.
*
ZW
Rough heath.
You are scrambling over a rough heath, which rises out of a deep valley to the
south and carries on to the north and northeast. East is the bottom of a large
mountain, and west lie the foothills of an even greater peak. The ground here
is very awkward to walk on, but you can keep your footing without too much
trouble.
*
ZW
Valley between mountains.
This is a beautiful and awesome sight. You are standing in a deep valley,
carved between two tall mountains, to the west and east, eons ago. The steep
slopes are barely climbable, and abound in curious fauna and strange,
half-shadowed creatures. South, outside the valley, is an east-west road, and
north is heathland. This place is very eerie.
*
ZW
Badly-paved road.
You are walking along a badly-paved east-west road. From here can be seen
three mountains: one to the northeast; one to the south and southwest; and one
to the northwest, which is the largest. To the north, between two of the
mountains, lies a deep valley. The only other nearby feature is a briar patch
to the southeast.
*ZW
Foothills.
You are standing in the foothills of a tall mountain, which rises away to the
southwest. North is a badly-paved road, which runs east-west, and east is a
briar patch. There are more foothills to the west, and to the south are
forested slopes of the mountain.
*
ZW
Forested part of south mountain.
You are standing amongst the trees in the forested slopes of the south
mountain. There is more forest to the east, and the mountain ascends to the
west, its peak hidden from view by the clouds near the top. North are
foothills, and northeast a briar patch. Southeast flows a river. A rusty key
can be seen here. A large stick lies on the ground.
*
ZW
North lush pasture.
You are treading over the soft grass of a lush pasture. To the north is a
river, which continues to the northeast and flows beneath a mountain to the
northwest. East, west and south, the pasture continues, yet to the southeast
it becomes much rougher and more desolate. To the southwest lies forest. A
sweet little daisy chain has fallen here.
*
ZW
West lush pasture.
This is a lush pasture which sprawls at the feet of a majestic mountain to the
north. The pasture continues to the east and southeast, but south and
southwest are forests. West, the pasture ends beside a fuming swamp. Standing
resolutely before you is a huge, one-eyed giant!
*ZW
You are waylaid in a fuming swamp.
A suspicious-looking individual lurks nearby. The thief is carrying a ring10
and a dagger0. A mist-swathed banshee floats nebulously before you.

FLEXINGTON
Elizabethan tearoom.
This cosy, Tudor period room is where all MUD adventures start. Its exposed
oak beams and soft, velvet-covered furniture provide it with the ideal
atmosphere in which to relax before venturing out into that strange, timeless
realm. A sense of decency and decorum prevails, and a feeling of kinship with
those who, like you, seek their destiny in The Land. When you are suitably
composed, you may enter that domain by stepping through an opening to the
north; however, you are welcome to stay here for as long as you like, sipping
tea and watching the world go by. Before you crouches the dangerously powerful
form of a regal tiger. An enormous spider stands before you! A beautiful,
Chinese phoenix circles the room, watching you with cold, inscrutable eyes.
Drizzle the doomed mage continues to be the ultimate pelican crossing
(whatever that means) holding a cup of tea.
Dara the sorceress is here holding a cup of tea.

Dense forest.
You are standing in a dense forest. It continues to the southeast at a
passable level, but south it is too thick to allow movement through. Westwards
it becomes a pine forest. North, northeast and east are pastures, and
northwest lies a festering, fuming swamp. A rusty key can be seen here.

South mountain.
You are clambering around the slopes of a tall mountain, which rises up to the
northeast into the clouds. North and east the mountain is at the same level as
here, and to the southeast it slopes down into a gentle pasture. Southwest is
a swamp, fuming with marsh-gases, and west is the top of a tall cliff, which
looks very dangerous... It is raining.

Top of south mountain.
You are standing at the very peak of the south mountain. A glorious view is to
be beheld all around. To the northeast is a mountain, on the opposite side of
a road from some building. To the north is a third mountain much larger than
either of the other two, and far more majestic. South lie pastures, and
southeast is an evil-looking wood, hard up against the side of a river, in
which can be seen a small island. West, over a wall just visible through the
clouds, is a strange, anachronistic world, centred around a house. It is
raining. Flying by is a firefly (firefly4). Flying by is a firefly (firefly0).

Badly-paved road.
You are standing on a badly-paved road, which runs from the east to stop at a
large wall constructed to the west. There is a narrow gap in this blockage,

Sitting room in "Il Castellare".
This is a tastefully furnished sitting room. The dominant feature is a fresco
above the fireplace on the north wall showing a coat of arms painted in
quattrocento style. The decoration seems to feature some bird of water, while
the inscribed coat of arms bears the motto "COUTE QUE COUTE". An exit in the
northwest corner leads to a music room, and in the southwest corner a doorway
leads onto a terrace. Through a doorway to the east lies the ingresso. Before
you is a portrait of a bunch of arthritic-looking scribes locked in a dusty
scriptorium. Some elevating sentiments are on it. The door is locked shut. A
healthy fire warms the room from its grate, giving off a delicious aroma of
woodsmoke.

turned it into a dining area of some atmosphere. A hallway lies to the south,
and to the west is a courtyard. Through a doorway to the east, access can be
gained to a kitchen. A soggy wafer has been left here.

Kitchen in "Il Castellare".
This large, oblong room, situated at the eastern end of the Italianate villa
in which you find yourself, seems once to have been the main kitchen of the
house, doubtless the source of supply for many succulent morsels and elegant
repasts. A dining room lies to the west, and another doorway stands in the
south wall. East, a doorway leads to a porch, and a pleasant view over a
hillside. The kitchen door is open.

You are standing on a ford across a fast-flowing river. To the west is a

You are wandering around in some dense forest on the west bank of a
fast-flowing river. To the north, the river is crossed by a ford, and to the
south it runs beside a meadow, beyond which you can see what looks like a
belvedere of some kind. At that point the river splits, and curves round to
the southwest of where you stand. West, the forest seems to be primarily of
fruit trees, and northwest through the greenery you can see what looks like a
well.

You stand among the aged trees of an orchard. Most of them are apple trees,
but there is the occasional pear tree to add character. None bear fruit or

You stand beside an old, disused well, which looks superficially to be blocked

however, not apparent. West is a side entrance leading directly into an inn,
for which the well was probably originally constructed (although some way to
the east can be heard running water). North is an east-west road, and
southwest an orchard of mainly apple trees. Southeast is dense forest.

Kitchen in "Il Castellare".
This large, oblong room, situated at the eastern end of the Italianate villa
in which you find yourself, seems once to have been the main kitchen of the
house, doubtless the source of supply for many succulent morsels and elegant
repasts. A dining room lies to the west, and another doorway stands in the
south wall. East, a doorway leads to a porch, and a pleasant view over a

You are in a large, rectangular room, whose main purpose seems to have been
the playing of games. A table-tennis table, set in concrete and certainly

You are on the narrowest of landings, part-way up a staircase in a tower. This

currently trespassing, probably having been erected many centuries ago when
The Land was threatened by an invasion of barbarian hordes. Through a slit in
the wall, you observe that you are facing south, down a valley, and you
perceive a rutted track threading its way through neglected olive groves and
vineyards. Some solid stairs next to the window-slit lead both further up and

doves once nested there, no doubt providing the small inhabitants of the room
untold hours of fascination and experience in practical nature observation. A

walk through solid brick walls. Walk round and look for an entrance...

Briar patch.
You are gingerly pushing your way through a prickly briar patch, skilfully
avoiding being scratched from the many thorns about. To the north runs an
east-west road, and to the east is a yard outside an old inn. South lies
pasture, beyond which is a river, and west are the foothills of a majestic
mountain, spearing its way through the fluffy clouds. It is raining.

South mountain.
You are clambering around the slopes of a tall mountain, which rises up to the
northeast into the clouds. North and east the mountain is at the same level as

Flexington
You now feel up to attacking other players, should you so desire.
Elizabethan tearoom.
This cosy, Tudor period room is where all MUD adventures start. Its exposed
oak beams and soft, velvet-covered furniture provide it with the ideal
atmosphere in which to relax before venturing out into that strange, timeless
realm. A sense of decency and decorum prevails, and a feeling of kinship with
those who, like you, seek their destiny in The Land. When you are suitably
composed, you may enter that domain by stepping through an opening to the
north; however, you are welcome to stay here for as long as you like, sipping
tea and watching the world go by.
Her brown hair pinned up and her maroon sorceress/witch robes cleaned from
magical dust via magical means, Zalagar the wistful witch observes events both
here and elsewhere.
Drizzle the wobbly mage continues to be the ultimate pelican crossing
(whatever that means) holding a cup of tea.
