Let's Play ZORK

[RandomYoshi]

>NORTH
The Troll Room
This is a small room with passages to the east and south and a forbidding hole leading west. Bloodstains and deep scratches (perhaps made by an axe) mar the walls.
A nasty-looking troll, brandishing a bloody axe, blocks all passages out of the room.

thanks smasher

 

[Smashley]

you're welcome

 

[Crackin355]

pull out the sword

no feeer

 

[RandomYoshi]

>KILL TROLL WITH SWORD
You charge, but the troll jumps nimbly aside.

 

[Smashley]

try again

what else can we even do

 

[RandomYoshi]

>KILL TROLL WITH SWORD
The troll is staggered, and drops to his knees.

!!! progress !!!

 

[Crackin355]

throw garlic at the troll!

 

[RandomYoshi]

>THROW GARLIC AT TROLL
The troll, who is remarkably coordinated, catches the clove of garlic and not having the most discriminating tastes, gleefully eats it.

well done we slightly healed the troll

 

[Crackin355]

yeah but

what if he's friendly now

maybe I should've done that first :^|

 

[RandomYoshi]

hmm good point

should we keep bashing at him or

 

[Crackin355]

try to talk to the troll

maybe he's actually super thoughtful and misunderstood by his peers.

 

[RandomYoshi]

>TALK TO TROLL
The troll isn't much of a conversationalist.
The troll pauses for a moment, perhaps thinking that you should re-read the manual.

Speaking of, I found the manual.

 

[Crackin355]

manual loads too slow

return to killing the troll

 

[RandomYoshi]

>KILL TROLL WITH SWORD
The quickness of your thrust knocks the troll back, stunned.

 

[Crackin355]

kill the troll once more

 

[RandomYoshi]

>KILL TROLL WITH SWORD
A good slash, but it misses the troll by a mile.

 

[Crackin355]

man, and here i was starting to think we were competent. change of plans.

jump on the troll

 

[RandomYoshi]

>JUMP ON TROLL
That sentence isn't one I recognize.

 

[Crackin355]

well i'm at a loss

actually wait

run to the east passage while hes down

 

[RandomYoshi]

>KILL TROLL WITH SWORD
The quickness of your thrust knocks the troll back, stunned.

 

[Crackin355]

okay you're super fast, no edit passes you

well i'm at a loss

actually wait

run to the east passage while hes down

this

 

[RandomYoshi]

>EAST
The troll fends you off with a menacing gesture.

 

[Crackin355]

what an asshole

can we just go back to the trap door or is he blocking that too

 

[RandomYoshi]

That would mean going south, but he's blocking all passageways out of the room anyway. I guess trying hasn't hurt anyone, so...

>SOUTH
Cellar
You are in a dark and damp cellar with a narrow passageway leading north, and a crawlway to the south. On the west is the bottom of a steep metal ramp which is unclimbable.

It worked, splendid!

 

[Crackin355]

man, that was my first thought but I thought I couldn't so I just ran us into death's arms

and then death rejected me.

anyways, look at the steel metal ramp.
