Let's Play ZORK

>LOOK AT LARGE TREE
There's nothing special about the tree.

Why is it that there's nothing special about anything we try to examine? We should head elsewhere, I think.
 
>NORTH
Clearing
You are in a clearing, with a forest surrounding you on all sides. A path leads south.
On the ground is a pile of leaves.

This appears to be a different clearing than the one we visited before. Keep this in mind, everybody.
 
[2015-09-24 02:38:11] Nabber: oh boy
[2015-09-24 02:38:15] Nabber: jump in the pile of leaves

>JUMP IN PILE OF LEAVES
Do you expect me to applaud?

>MOVE PILE OF LEAVES
Done.
In disturbing the pile of leaves, a grating is revealed.
 
>MOVE GRATING
You can't move the grating.

>OPEN GRATING
The grating is locked.

>LOOK AT GRATING
The grating is closed.

>REMOVE GRATING
A valiant attempt.
 
Try anything?
 
Yes, I did try something. I tried climbing a tree, and:

>SOUTH
Forest Path
This is a path winding through a dimly lit forest. The path heads north-south here. One particularly large tree with some low branches stands at the edge of the path.

>CLIMB TREE
Up a Tree
You are about 10 feet above the ground nestled among some large branches. The nearest branch above you is above your reach.
Beside you on the branch is a small bird's nest.
In the bird's nest is a large egg encrusted with precious jewels, apparently scavenged by a childless songbird. The egg is covered with fine gold inlay, and ornamented in lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl. Unlike most eggs, this one is hinged and closed with a delicate looking clasp. The egg appears extremely fragile.
You hear in the distance the chirping of a song bird.
 
maybe we should try taking the egg?
 
look at the nest, then go back down if there's nothing of interest
 
>LOOK AT EGG
The jewel-encrusted egg is closed.

>LOOK AT NEST
The bird's nest is empty.

>DOWN
Forest Path
This is a path winding through a dimly lit forest. The path heads north-south here. One particularly large tree with some low branches stands at the edge of the path.
 
>INVENTORY
You are carrying:
A jewel-encrusting egg
A rope
A nasty knife
A brass lantern
A sword
A glass bottle
The glass bottle contains:
A quantity of water
A brown sack
The brown sack contains:
A lunch
A clove of garlic
A leaflet

I've also found out you can ask simple WHAT and WHERE questions, so I asked what a grue was since we don't know what it is yet.

>WHAT IS A GRUE
The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventures, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its feat of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.
 
this game is not very dank it seems

anyway, can you open the egg?

it said closed so idk, maybe you need to knock.
 
This game was made in 1981. The reference you're probably thinking of couldn't even have been made at that time, mind you.

>KNOCK ON EGG
Why knock on a jewel-encrusted egg?
 
yes yes yes i know, i just wanted to try it anyway

i thought that egg was fragile, this game has lied to me

go north-south
 
>NORTH-SOUTH
Clearing
You are in a clearing, with a forest surrounding you on all sides. A path leads south.
There is a grating securely fastened into the ground.
On the ground is a pile of leaves.

Okay, this is pointless. We should head back to the house for now since the grating is, right now, impossible to take care of.
