#1
Somewhere nearby is Colossal Cave, where others have found fortunes in
treasure and gold, though it is rumored that some who enter are never
seen again.  Magic is said to work in the cave.  I will be your eyes
and hands.  Direct me with natural English commands.  I should warn
you that I look at all the letters of each word. Also you
should enter "Northeast" as "NE" to distinguish it from "North".
(Should you get stuck, type "HELP" or "?" for some general hints.)
Good Luck!

#2
A little dwarf with a big knife blocks your way.
#3
A little dwarf just walked around a corner, saw you, threw a little
axe at you which missed, cursed, and ran away.
#4
There is a threatening little dwarf in the room with you!
#5
One sharp nasty knife is thrown at you!
#6
None of them hit you!
#7
One of them gets you!
#8
A hollow voice says "Plugh".
#9
There is no way to go that direction.
#10
I am unsure how you are facing.  Use compass points or nearby objects.
#11
I don't know in from out here.  Use compass points or name something
in the general direction you want to go.
#12
I don't know how to apply that word here.
#13
I don't understand that!
#14
I'm game.  Would you care to explain how?
#15
Sorry, but I am not allowed to give more detail.  I will repeat the
long description of your location.
#16
It is now pitch dark.  If you proceed you will likely fall into a pit.
#17
If you prefer, simply type "W" rather than "West".
#18
Are you trying to catch the bird?
#19
The bird is frightened right now and you cannot catch it no matter
what you try.  Perhaps you might try later.
#20
Are you trying to somehow deal with the snake?
#21
You can't kill the snake, or drive it away, or avoid it, or anything
like that.  There is a way to get by, but you don't have the necessary
resources right now.
#22
Do you really want to quit now?
#23
You fell into a pit and broke every bone in your body!
#24
You are already carrying it!
#25
You can't be serious!
#26
The bird was unafraid when you entered, but as you approach it becomes
disturbed and you cannot catch it.
#27
You can catch the bird, but you cannot carry it.
#28
There is nothing here with a lock!
#29
You aren't carrying it!
#30
The little bird attacks the green snake, and in an astounding flurry
drives the snake away.
#31
You have no keys!
#32
It has no lock.
#33
I don't know how to lock or unlock such a thing.
#34
It was already locked.
#35
The grate is now locked.
#36
The grate is now unlocked.
#37
It was already unlocked.
#38
You have no source of light.
#39
Your lamp is now on.
#40
Your lamp is now off.
#41
There is no way to get past the bear to unlock the chain, which is
probably just as well.
#42
Nothing happens.
#43
Where?
#44
There is nothing here to attack.
#45
The little bird is now dead.  Its body disappears.
#46
Attacking the snake both doesn't work and is very dangerous.
#47
You killed a little dwarf.
#48
You attack a little dwarf, but he dodges out of the way.
#49
With what?  Your bare hands?
#50
Good try, but that is an old worn-out magic word.
#51
To move, try words like FOREST, BUILDING, DOWNSTREAM, IN, EAST, NORTH,
UP, OR DOWN. Saying a place name may take you there, as may some
magic words. You can say TAKE LAMP or DROP LAMP or PUT LAMP IN SACK.
Some objects have side effects; for instance, the rod scares the bird.
You can take or drop multiple objects by saying TAKE BOOK AND LAMP,
etc. To list what you are currently holding, say INVENTORY, or just I.
To reprint the detailed description of where you are, say LOOK
or L. You can also LOOK IN or LOOK AT appropriate objects. Other
useful commands are HEALTH, QUIT, SCORE, BRIEF, TERSE, UNBRIEF,
UNTERSE, SAVE, and RESTORE. The latter two save or restore your
current position. To get full credit for a treasure, you must have
left it **safely** in the building. Some non-treasure items are best
left near where you find them. There are clues for various problems
lying about the cave: look and listen. If you seem to have found
all the treasures, keep looking around a while, something else
may happen to you (for a bonus!)
(The word "give" doesn't exist, but you can say FEED BONE TO DOG or
THROW BONE AT DOG. Also, you can use conveyances or animals(!)
by TAKEing and DROPing them.)
#52
It misses!
#53
It gets you!
#54
Ok
#55
You can't unlock the keys.
#56
You have crawled around in some little holes and wound up back in the
main passage.
#57
I don't know where the cave is, but hereabouts no stream can run on
the surface for long.  I would try the stream.
#58
I need more detailed instructions to do that.
#59
I can only tell you what you see as you move about and manipulate
things.  I cannot tell you where remote things are.
#60
I can't make any sense out of that.
#61
What?
#62
Are you trying to get into the cave?
#63
The grate is very solid and has a hardened steel lock.  You cannot
enter without a key, and there are no keys nearby.  I would recommend
looking elsewhere for the keys.
#64
The trees of the forest are large hardwood oak and maple, with an
occasional grove of pine or spruce.  There is quite a bit of under-
growth, largely birch and ash saplings plus nondescript bushes of
various sorts.  This time of year visibility is quite restricted by
all the leaves, but travel is quite easy if you detour around the
spruce and berry bushes.

                Would you like instructions?

#66
Digging without a shovel is quite impractical.  Even with a shovel
progress is unlikely.
#67
Blasting requires dynamite.
#68
I'm as confused as you are.
#69
Mist is a white vapor, usually water, seen from time to time in
caverns.  It can be found anywhere but is frequently a sign of a deep
pit leading down to water.
#70
Your feet are now wet.
#71
I think I just lost my appetite.
#72
Thank you, it was delicious!
#73
You have taken a drink from the stream.  The water tastes strongly of
minerals, but is not unpleasant.  It is extremely cold.
#74
The bottle is now empty.
#75
Rubbing the electric lamp is not particularly rewarding.  Anyway,
nothing exciting happens.
#76
Peculiar.  Nothing unexpected happens.
#77
Your bottle is empty and the ground is wet.
#78
You can't pour that.
#79
Watch it!
#80
Which way?
#81
Oh dear, you seem to have gotten yourself killed.  I might be able to
help you out, but I've never really done this before.  Do you want me
to try to reincarnate you?
#82
All right.  But don't blame me if something goes wr......
*                    --- POOF!! ---                    *
You are engulfed in a cloud of orange smoke.  Coughing and gasping,
you emerge from the smoke and find....

#83
You clumsy oaf, you've done it again!  I don't know how long I can
keep this up.  Do you want me to try reincarnating you again?
#84
Okay, now where did I put my orange smoke?....  >POOF!<
Everything disappears in a dense cloud of orange smoke.

#85
Now you've really done it!  I'm out of orange smoke!  You don't expect
me to do a decent reincarnation without any orange smoke, do you?
#86
Okay, if you're so smart, do it yourself!  I'm leaving!
#87
#88
#89
#90
>>> Messages 81 thru 90 are reserved for "Obituaries". <<<
#91
Sorry, but I no longer seem to remember how it was you got here.
#92
It's too heavy.  You'll have to drop something first.
#93
You can't go through a locked steel grate!
#94
I believe what you want is right here with you.
#95
You don't fit through a two-inch slit!
#96
I respectfully suggest you go across the bridge instead of jumping.
#97
There is no way across the fissure.
#98
You're not carrying anything.
#99
You are currently holding the following:
#100
It's not hungry (it's merely pining' for the fjords).  Besides, you
have no bird seed.
#101
The snake has now devoured your bird.
#102
There's nothing here it wants to eat (except perhaps you).
#103
You fool, dwarves eat only coal!  Now you've made him *REALLY* mad!!
#104
Your cask is empty and the ground is soaked.
#105
You aren't carrying them!
#106
I don't need to, thank you.
#107
The ground is wet and the air is smelly.
#108
Your lamp is now on, but the glare from the walls is absolutely
blinding.  If you proceed you are likely to fall into a pit.
#109
You haven't any matches.
#110
Don't be ridiculous!
#111
The door is extremely rusty and refuses to open.
#112
The plant indignantly shakes dry its leaves and asks, "Water?"
#113
The hinges are quite thoroughly rusted now and won't budge.
#114
The oil has freed up the hinges so that the door will now move,
although it requires some effort.
#115
The plant has exceptionally deep roots and cannot be pulled free.
#116
The dwarves' knives vanish as they strike the walls of the cave.
#117
Something you're carrying won't fit through the tunnel with you.
You'd best take inventory and drop something.
#118
You can't fit this five-foot clam through that little passage!
#119
You can't fit this five-foot oyster through that little passage!
#120
I advise you to put down the clam before opening it.  >Strain!<
#121
I advise you to put down the oyster before opening it.  >Wrench!<
#122
You don't have anything strong enough to open the clam.
#123
You don't have anything strong enough to open the oyster.
#124
A glistening pearl falls out of the clam and rolls away.  Goodness,
this must really be an oyster.  (I never was very good at identifying
bivalves.)  Whatever it is, it has now snapped shut again.
#125
The oyster creaks open, revealing nothing but oyster inside.  It
promptly snaps shut again.
#126
You have crawled around in some little holes and found your way
blocked by a recent cave-in.  You are now back in the main passage.
#127
There are faint rustling noises from the darkness behind you.
#128
Out from the shadows behind you pounces a bearded pirate!  "Har, har,"
he chortles, "I'll just take all this booty and hide it away with me
chest deep in the maze!"  He snatches your treasure and vanishes into
the gloom.
#129
A sepulchral voice reverberating through the cave, says, "Cave closing
soon.  All adventurers exit immediately through Main Office."
#130
A mysterious recorded voice groans into life and announces:
   "This exit is closed.  Please leave via Main Office."

#131
It looks as though you're dead.  Well, seeing as how it's so close to
closing time anyway, I think we'll just call it a day.

#132
The sepulchral voice intones, "The cave is now closed."  As the echoes
fade, there is a blinding flash of light (and a small puff of orange
smoke). . . .    As your eyes refocus, you look around and find...

#133
There is a loud explosion, and a twenty-foot hole appears in the far
wall, burying the dwarves in the rubble.  You march through the hole
and find yourself in the Main Office, where a cheering band of
friendly elves carry the conquering adventurer off into the sunset.

#134
There is a loud explosion, and a twenty-foot hole appears in the far
wall, burying the snakes in the rubble.  A river of molten lava pours
in through the hole, destroying everything in its path, including you!

#135
There is a loud explosion, and you are suddenly splashed across the
walls of the room.

#136
The resulting ruckus has awakened the dwarves.  There are now several
threatening little dwarves in the room with you!  Most of them throw
knives at you!  All of them get you!

#137
Oh, leave the poor unhappy bird alone.
#138
I dare say whatever you want is around here somewhere.
#139
I'm not sure what you mean by "Stop".  Use "Quit" if you want to give
up.
#140
You can't get there from here.
#141
You are being followed by a very large, tame bear.
#142
-          *** THE HISTORY OF ADVENTURE (ABRIDGED) ***          -
-                    ** By Ima Wimp **                          -
ADVENTURE was originally developed by William Crowther, and later
substantially rewritten and expanded by Don Woods at Stanford Univ.
According to legend, Crowther's original version was modelled on an
a real cavern, called Colossal Cave, which is a part of Kentucky's
Mammoth Caverns.  That version of the game included the main maze
and a portion of the third-level (Complex Junction - Bedquilt -
Swiss Cheese rooms, etc.), but not much more.
Don Woods and some others at Stanford later rewrote portions of
the original program, and greatly expanded the cave.  That version
of the game is recognizable by the maximum score of 350 points.
Some major additions were done by David Long while at the University
of Chicago, Graduate School of Business. Long's additions include the
seaside entrance and all of the cave on the "far side" of Lost River
(Rainbow Room - Crystal Palace - Blue Grotto, etc.).
The castle problem was added in late 1984 by an anonymous writer.
Thanks are owed to Roger Matus and David Feldman, both of U. of C.,
for several suggestions, including the Rainbow Room, the telephone
booth and the fearsome Wumpus. Most thanks (and apologies)
go to Thomas Malory, Charles Dodgson, the Grimm Brothers, Dante,
Homer, Frank Baum and especially Anon., the real authors of ADVENTURE.
#143
Do you indeed wish to quit now?
#144
There is nothing here with which to fill the vase.
#145
The sudden change in temperature has delicately shattered the vase.
#146
It is beyond your power to do that.
#147
I don't know how.
#148
It is too far up for you to reach.
#149
You killed a little dwarf.  The body vanishes in a cloud of greasy
black smoke.
#150
The shell is very strong and is impervious to attack.
#151
What's the matter, can't you read?  Now you'd best start over.
#152
The axe bounces harmlessly off the dragon's thick scales.
#153
The dragon looks rather nasty.  You'd best not try to get by.
#154
The little bird attacks the green dragon, and in an astounding flurry
gets burnt to a cinder.  The ashes blow away.
#155
On what?
#156
Okay, from now on I'll only describe a place in full the first time
you come to it.  To get the full description, say "LOOK".
#157
Trolls are close relatives with the rocks and have skin as tough as
that of a rhinoceros.  The troll fends off your blows effortlessly.
#158
The troll deftly catches the axe, examines it carefully, and tosses it
back, declaring, "Good workmanship, but it's not valuable enough."
#159
The troll catches your treasure and scurries away out of sight.
#160
The troll refuses to let you cross.
#161
There is no longer any way across the chasm.
#162
Just as you reach the other side, the bridge buckles beneath the
weight of the bear, which was still following you around.  You
scrabble desperately for support, but as the bridge collapses you
stumble back and fall into the chasm.
#163
The bear lumbers toward the troll, who lets out a startled shriek and
scurries away.  The bear soon gives up the pursuit and wanders back.
#164
The axe misses and lands near the bear where you can't get at it.
#165
With what?  Your bare hands?  Against *HIS* bear hands??
#166
The bear is confused; he only wants to be your friend.
#167
For crying out loud, the poor thing is already dead!
#168
The bear eagerly licks up the honeycomb, after which he seems to calm
down considerably and even becomes rather friendly.
#169
The bear is still chained to the wall.
#170
The chain is still locked.
#171
The chain is now unlocked.
#172
The chain is now locked.
#173
There is nothing here to which the chain can be locked.
#174
There is nothing here to eat.
#175
Do you want the hint?
#176
Do you need help getting out of the maze?
#177
You can make the passages look less alike by dropping things.
#178
Are you trying to explore beyond the Plover Room?
#179
There is a way to explore that region without having to worry about
falling into a pit.  None of the objects available is immediately
useful in discovering the secret.
#180
Do you need help getting out of here?
#181
Don't go west.
#182
Gluttony is not one of the troll's vices.  Avarice, however, is.
#183
Your lamp is getting dim.  You'd best start wrapping this up, unless
you can find some fresh batteries.  I seem to recall there's a vending
machine in the maze.  Bring some coins with you.
#184
Your lamp has run out of power.
#185
There's not much point in wandering around out here, and you can't
explore the cave without a lamp.  So let's just call it a day.
#186
There are faint rustling noises from the darkness behind you.  As you
turn toward them, the beam of your lamp falls across a bearded pirate.
He is carrying a large chest.  "Shiver me timbers!", he cries, "I've
been spotted!  I'd best hie meself off to the maze to hide me chest!"
With that, he vanishes into the gloom.
#187
Your lamp is getting dim.  You'd best replace those batteries.
#188
Your lamp is now shining with renewed strength.
#189
Your lamp is getting dim, and you haven't any more coins.  You'd
best start wrapping this up.
#190
I'm afraid the magazine is written in dwarvish.
#191
"This is not the maze where the pirate leaves his treasure chest."
#192
Hmmm, this looks like a clue, which means it'll cost you 10 points to
read it.  Should I go ahead and read it anyway?
#193
It says, "Not all black rods are magic wands. Some are useful for
other cave construction purposes. There might be some around here."
#194
It says the same thing it did before.
#195
I'm afraid I don't understand.
#196
"Congratulations on bringing light into the dark-room!"
#197
You strike the mirror a resounding blow, whereupon it shatters into a
myriad tiny fragments.
#198
You have taken the vase and hurled it delicately to the ground.
#199
You prod the nearest dwarf, who wakes up grumpily, takes one look at
you, curses, and grabs for his axe.
#200
Is this acceptable?
#201
There's no point in suspending a demonstration game.
#202
You managed to climb about halfway up before losing your hold and
sliding back.
#203
You were only a few yards from the top when you slipped and tumbled
all the way back down.
#204
Ok, ok.  No need to be grabby.
#205
Pulling an angry bear around is a good way to get your arm ripped off.
#206
The sword is now very clean.
#207
The sword is now covered with oil.
#208
The handle is now too slippery to grasp.
#209
You have no scabbard!
#210
You are already wearing it!
#211
Do you want to extract the sword from the anvil?
#212
If you could convince me of your royal blood, you might get somewhere.
#213
Are you trying to go up the slide?
#214
Maybe you'd better look for another way into the cave.
#215
You grasp the sword's handle and pull, but the sword won't budge.
Do you want to try yanking it out?
#216
A tiny elf runs straight at you, shouts "Phuce!", and
disappears into the forest.
#217
You can't swim.  You'd best go by boat.
#218
The boat's oars were stolen by the dwarves to play bing-bong.
(That's dwarvish ping-pong -- with rocks!).  You have no way
to propel the boat.
#219
You are still in the boat.  It is too heavy to carry.
#220
You had better leave the boat first.
#221
You are now sitting in a small boat.
#222
You couldn't possibly cross this sea without a large ship.
#223
The cliff is unscalable.
#224
Your keys are all too large for the lock.
#225
The wall is too smooth to climb.
#226
The shelf is beyond your reach.
#227
You are already wearing them!
#228
You thought maybe these were peyote??  You feel a little dizzy,
but nothing happens.
#229
You are growing taller, expanding like a telescope!  Just before
your head strikes the top of the chamber, the mysterious process
stops as suddenly as it began.
#230
You are closing up like an accordion....shrinking..shrinking.  You
are now your normal size.
#231
You have smashed your bottle all over the ground.
#232
You are now too big to leave the way you came in.
#233
This is obviously an elfin entrance.  Unless you can squeeze
yourself through a six-inch door, you'll have to find another
way into the cave.
#234
The wrought-iron door is now locked.
#235
The tiny door is now locked.
#236
The wrought-iron door is now unlocked.
#237
The tiny door is now unlocked.
#238
You are blocked by the wrought-iron door.
#239
<$$<
#240
The Wumpus looks at the food with distaste.  He looks at *YOU* with
relish!
#241
You have jerked the cloak free of the rocks.  However, in doing
so you have caused a small rock slide, blocking the entrance
and making an unholy din.
#242
The cloak is stuck tight under the rocks.  You'll probably have to
yank it out.
#243
The Wumpus grabs the axe, stops and picks his teeth with it for a few
moments while looking thoughtfully at you.  When he finishes picking
his teeth, he eats the axe, belches, farts... and starts after
you again!
#244
As the bridge disappears, the Wumpus scrambles frantically to reach
your side of the fissure.  He misses by inches, and with a horrible
shriek plunges to his death in the depths of the fissure!
#245
You can't even hit a sleeping Wumpus!  The axe is now lying too near
the Wumpus for you to retrieve it.
#246
The Wumpus is between you and the axe.  You can't reach it.
#247
You can't fit through a six-inch door!
#248
The dog easily dodges the axe, which lands beyond him where you can't
get at it.
#249
The dog woofs (natch) down the food and looks around hungrily for
more.  However, he does not appear to be any better disposed towards
your presence.
#250
You've got to be kidding!
#251
It's attached to the wall!
#252
You can't put a thing into itself!
#253
The gnome firmly blocks the door of the booth.  You can't enter.
#254
The constant ringing has awakened the dwarves!
There are now several threatening little dwarves in the room with
you!  Most of them throw knives at you!  All of them get you!
#255
The telephone is out of order.
#256
The telephone is out of order and your hand is sore.
#257
A couple of lead slugs drop from the coin box.  (Gnomes are
notoriously cheap....)  But you've broken the phone beyond
all hope.
#258
He wants treasure, not gab.
#259
He didn't say anything!
#260
It isn't a parrot.  He didn't say anything.
#261
No one replies.  The line goes dead with a faint "Click".
#262
I think you are a little confused!
#263
As you move towards the phone booth, a gnome suddenly streaks
around the corner, jumps into the booth and rudely slams the door
in your face.  You can't get in.
#264
He isn't hungry.
#265
As the blast of the horn reverberates through the chamber, the
seemingly solid rock wall crumbles away, revealing another room just
beyond.  The wall was most likely worn thin by an ancient watercourse
which dried up just before completely wearing away the rock.
#266
The chamber reverberates to the blast of the horn.
(Satchmo you ain't!)
#267
The bees swarm over the fresh flowers, leaving the hive unguarded
and revealing a sweet honeycomb.
#268
You are now out of breath.
#269
It isn't ringing!
#270
A hairy paw reaches out of the darkness and....
#271
You don't have the correct change.
#272
You go a short way down the bright passage, but the light
grows to blinding intensity.  You can't continue.
#273
You know, if you type "BRIEF", I won't have to keep repeating these
long descriptions of each room.
#274
Are you trying to reach the natural bridge?
#275
You can't get to it by climbing the walls or jumping or anything
like that.  You could always put in a telephone call to the local
spelunking club for advice, if you could find a phone.
#276
You turkey!!!  Now you've done it!  It took some effort, but you
woke up the Wumpus.  He slowly opens one red eye, and then another,
and then one more (!!), and looks at you sleepily.  He had been
dreaming of a late snack.  If you don't act quickly, you'll
be a *late* adventurer!
#277
The blast of your horn echoes throughout hill and dale.
#278
All you have are watercress sandwiches.  The bear is less than
interested.
#279
You have smashed your sword to smithereens against a rock.
#280
Setting yourself adrift in the boat with no way to propel it would
not be very smart.  Best to keep the pole.
#281
You're already in it!
#282
You've hit the jackpot!!  Hundreds of coins and slugs cascade from
the telephone's coin return slot and spill all over the floor of
the booth.
#283
Whoops!  The floor has opened out from under you!  It seems you
have fallen into a bottomless pit.  As a matter of fact, you're
still falling!  Well, I have better things to do than wait around
for you to strike bottom, so let's just assume you're dead.
Sorry about that, Chief.
#284
The telephone in the booth has begun to ring.
#285
I don't understand what you are trying to do!
#286
How do you propose to cross the river?
#287
The air is filled with beautiful music.
#288
The air fills with beautiful music.  The dog gradually becomes
less fierce, and after a short while he lies down by the side of
the cavern and falls into a deep sleep.
#289
Are you trying to get past the dog?
#290
The only person I can remember who managed to get past the dog
was that singer, ummm, what's his name... Eurydice's friend....
#291
That wouldn't be wise.  It is best to let sleeping dogs lie.
#292
The stream flows out of one very small crack and into another.
You can't go that way.
#293
The river is too wide and deep to cross.
#294
The glare is absolutely blinding.  If you proceed you are likely
to fall into a pit.
#295
The hum of the bees rises to an angry buzz as you move towards
the hive.
#296
The sticks and branches are all in a tangle and are stuck in the
mud.  You'd need a shovel to dig them out.
#297
You're already carrying them!
#298
The chalice is slightly cracked.  It won't hold any liquids.
#299
The cask is now empty.
#300
The wine goes right to your head.  You reel around in a drunken
stupor and finally pass out.  You awaken with a splitting headache,
and try to focus your eyes....
#301
Yeeeecchhh!!
#302
Your bottle is already full.
#303
The cask is already full.
#304
There is nothing here with which to fill the bottle.
#305
There is nothing here which you would want to put into the cask.
#306
Your bottle is now full of water.
#307
The cask is now full of water.
#308
Your bottle is now full of oil.
#309
The cask is now full of oil.
#310
The bottle is now full of wine.
#311
The cask is now full of wine.
#312
You have nothing in which to carry it.
#313
You can't fill that.
#314
Do you want it in the bottle or the cask?
#315
Your containers are both full.
#316
It's empty.
#317
Hmmm, I see you have already gone through an extra set of batteries.
I'll get rid of the trash for you.
#318
The bridge shakes as you cross.  Large hunks of clay and rock near
the edge break off and hurtle far down into the chasm.  Several of
the cracks on the bridge surface widen perceptibly.
#319
The load is too much for the bridge!  With a roar, the entire
structure gives way, plunging you headlong into the raging river at
the bottom of the chasm and scattering all your holdings.  As the
icy waters close over your head, you flail and thrash with all your
might, and with your last ounce of strength pull yourself onto the
south bank of the river.
#320
You can't get at him.  He is inside the phone booth.
#321
Your lamp is already on.
#322
Your lamp is already off.
#323
Your lamp is again growing dim.  You'd better get some more batteries.
#324
You know, you are wasting your batteries by wandering around out
here with your light on.

<Generic Adventure -- Version:7.0, July 1994>
#326
Dead wumpi, as a rule, are light eaters.  Nothing happens.
#327
How do expect to feed a sleeping Wumpus?
#328
You aren't holding it!
#329
It won't fit!
#330
The coin drops into the slot with a dull "clunk".  There is no
dial tone.
#331
It's already there.
#332
Please read the supplied documentation files to find out where to

The chest is now unlocked.
#334
The chest is now locked.
#335
You can't get at it.
#336
It's already open.
#337
It's locked.
#338
It's already closed.
#339
You can't fill that.  It would leak all over the place.
#340
It's not inside anything.
#341
It isn't there!
#342
How?
#343
Taken.
#344
Dropped.
#345
I don't think I can.
#346
Interesting.  How?
#347
Huh?
#348
You are in perfect health.
#349
You are fit as a fiddle.
#350
Only wizards can do that!
#351
Are you kidding?  Do you want to suffocate the poor thing?
#352
Thrown.
#353
Left.
#354
You can't get close enough for a clean thrust.
#355
As you move in for the kill, the dwarf neatly slips a knife
between your ribs.
#356
As you approach, the dwarf slashes out with his knife!
#357
It's too dark to see anything!
#358
It's not open.
#359
There's nothing inside.
#360
It contains:
#361
The billboard reads:
"Visit Beautiful Colossal Cave.  Open Year Around.  Fun for
the entire family, or at least for those who survive."
Below the headline is an impossibly complicated map showing how
to find Colossal Cave.  Not that it matters, because all the
directions are written in Elvish.
#362
Hidden behind the poster is a steel safe, embedded in the wall.
#363
Brushing the dust from one of the larger rocks reveals some carved
characters.
#364
Enough dusting, already!  You're making me sneeze.
#365
The safe door smoothly swings open.
#366
Maybe if you rubbed your fingertips with sandpaper....
#367
The safe's door clicks shut.
#368
This is a combination safe.  The keys won't help.
#369
I certainly can't read in this light.
#370
The poster has a picture of a thin man with a long white beard.
He is wearing a high pointed cap embroidered with strange symbols,
and he is pointing a finger at you.  Below the picture are the words:
"I want you!--To report all good ideas for extensions to this game
to me without delay.  Remember: ask not what ADVENTURE can do to
you; ask what you can do for ADVENTURE."
-                       *  *  *                              -
"A public service of the John Dillinger Died for You Society."
#371
"Click."
#372
In the rock is carved the message "7-22-34".
#373
You can't get at them.
#374
Ok, I'll give you the full description whenever you enter a room
for the first time.
#375
You don't have the right key.
#376
That's not strong enough to open the clam.
#377
That's not strong enough to open the oyster.
#378
Game suspension is no longer permitted!

You are a bit off top form, but nothing to worry about.
#382
You are weaker than usual.  Better avoid fights.
#383
You really ought to take a break.  You're in tough shape.
#384
You are on the edge of collapse.  Lots of sun and fresh air will
speed your recovery.
#385
Your strength is nearly gone.  Only a miracle can save you now.

Is it hot in here?  You are flushed and sweating.
#392
You are feeling definitely peculiar, weak....
#393
You're dizzy, nauseous.  You can barely stand.
#394
You are really ill.  If you don't find an antidote soon, it's
curtains.
#395
You are a walking wound.  You are very weak.  You'd better find out
what's wrong before it's too late.
#396
Sheeesh!  What a mess!  Your hair has fallen out and your skin is
covered with blisters.  And not an aspirin in sight!
#397
Well, you tried, but your strength is gone.  The agony is finally
over.

You feel rather disembodied, as if you were suddenly somewhere
else entirely.
#401
You sense that you are in a dark place. The only thing in sight
appears to be a companion to the crystal ball which holds your
gaze. It seems to be searching the gloom for something to
show you, but all it can see is itself: a brilliant blue
six-pointed star suspended in space.
#402
Your gaze withdraws from the crystal ball, and you are now back
in your normal senses.
#403
A large, stately elf walks up the rise, says the word
"Saint-Michel", and is instantly transported to the castle.
#404
Are you trying to get to the castle?
#405
It's easy to get there if you know how. The elves cross over
from here so perhaps you might watch an elf to see how.
Of course they are a bit shy, so keep a good way off while you
watch.
#406
You get a tingling feeling as you walk through the gate, and ...
#407
Fiddling with the bird in its cage is not useful.
If you had it in your hand it would make a mess.
#408
Would you like a map?
