First Adventure game written by His Lordship, the honorable
|
|
Admiral D.W. Riggle
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a luxurious stateroom.
|
|
The floor is carpeted with a soft animal fur and the great wooden furniture
|
|
is inlaid with strips of platinum and gold. Electronic equipment built
|
|
into the walls and ceiling is flashing wildly. The floor shudders and
|
|
the sounds of dull explosions rumble though the room. From a window in
|
|
the wall ahead comes a view of darkest space. There is a small adjoining
|
|
room behind you, and a doorway right.
|
|
|
|
>-:
|
|
These are the executive suites of the battlestar.
|
|
Luxurious staterooms carpeted with crushed velvet and adorned with beaten
|
|
gold open onto this parlor. A wide staircase with ivory banisters leads
|
|
up or down. This parlor leads into a hallway left. The bridal suite is
|
|
right. Other rooms lie ahead and behind you.
|
|
|
|
>-:
|
|
You are in what was once an elegant stateroom.
|
|
Whoever lived in this stateroom, he and his female companion
|
|
were mercilessly slain in their sleep. Clothes, trinkets and personal
|
|
belongings are scattered all across the floor. Through a hole in the
|
|
collapsed floor I can see a hallway below. A door is behind you.
|
|
|
|
There is a strange golden amulet on the floor here.
|
|
>-: The amulet is warm to the touch, and its beauty catches your breath.
|
|
A mist falls over your eyes, but then it is gone. Sounds seem clearer
|
|
and sharper but far away as if in a dream. The sound of purling water
|
|
reaches you from afar. The mist falls again, and your heart leaps in horror.
|
|
The gold freezes your hands and fathomless darkness engulfs your soul.
|
|
amulet:
|
|
Taken.
