Walter the Noble

adventure.txt

You are Walter, a noble living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a pouch of
 gold and a small dagger. You are awakened by one of your servants who tells
 you that your keep is under attack. You look out the window and see the enemy
 soldiers marching towards your door
> learn magic

The servant leads you to the library where he has hidden some books. He explains
 that the enemy has been gathering all the knowledge they can find about magic
 and then unleashing it on the world. The only way to stop them is to learn as
 much as possible before they do
> learn it

He shows you how to create a fire shield with your mind. It protects you from
 the flames but not the enemy. As you concentrate you feel the shield grow stronger
 and more solid. Your servant disappears leaving you alone with the books.


> learn more

He tells you that the enemy is trying to destroy the natural order. They want
 to turn the world into an endless desert filled with sand. They plan to bring
 down the sky by creating storms and lightning bolts. They will use these to
 wipe out mankind and enslave the rest of creation
> summon strongest knight

You call upon the most powerful knight you know. He appears and stands beside
 you. He holds his sword ready and stares at the book.

"I am ready," he says. "What is this?"


> "it's a book of magic"


"Magic? What kind of magic?"
"It's the same kind that the enemies use".
"But I've never heard of such a thing!"

> order the knight to attack

"Attack!" you shout.
The knight charges forward and swings his sword. His blade slices through the
 air and smashes into the book. Sparks fly everywhere and the book explodes sending
 bits of dust flying everywhere.
"That was very impressive!" the servant says
> order the knight to kill the servant

"Kill him!" you shout.
The servant looks terrified and runs away. You watch as he flees and run after
 him. You jump up and grab him.
> hold him

You hold the servant tightly and slam him against the wall. He screams and begs
 for mercy.
> be merciful

You release him and tell him to go back to his master. He nods and runs off.
 You look around and see that everything is destroyed. You sigh and return to
 your room.
> rest

A few days pass and you wake up. You sit up and take a quick glance around. Everything
 is gone. There is nothing left except a pile of rubble. You stand up and walk
 over to the pile. You pick up one of the broken pieces of wood and examine it
> seek vengence

You throw the piece of wood at the pile of rubble. It breaks apart and shatters
 into many small pieces. You laugh and think how easy it would be to make a bomb
 out of them. You could blow up the entire city with just a few bombs.
> make bombs

You start making bombs. You spend hours and hours working on them. Eventually
 you finish and put them together. You place them in a bag and put it in your
 pack. You begin walking towards the city gates. Suddenly you hear a noise outside.
 A loud noise like thunder or something
> investigate noise

You rush outside and see a group of men dressed in black marching towards you.
 They have long swords and axes. They point their weapons at you and stare at
 you.
> throw a bomb at the men

You hurry over to the nearest man and toss a bomb at him. He catches it and drops
 it. You quickly follow up with another bomb and blast the last two men. Then
 you turn to face the remaining three. One raises his hand and points at you.
> throw a bomb at him

You throw a bomb at him. It explodes and knocks him to the ground. You then turn
 to face the other two. One raises his hand and points at you.
> "what?"

 and he points at the first man. You nod and he points at you.
> point at the first man

You point at the first man and he points at you. You both charge each other and
 fight. You swing your sword and chop at each other. You swing your axe and smash
 into each other. You kick and punch and bite and claw at each other
> keep fighting

You keep fighting until you finally knock the other man out cold. You lay him
 out on the floor and get a knife from the table. You slice open his throat and
 pull out his heart
> cook the heart

You cook the heart and eat it. You feel full and satisfied
> enter city

You enter the city and head straight for the palace. You arrive and find yourself
 in front of the throne room. You notice that there is no one here. No guards,
 no servants, no anything. You walk inside and find yourself in a large hall
> look at table

You see a large table covered with food. On top of the table sits a man with
 a crown on his head. He smiles at you and beckons you to come closer. You approach
 and he takes you to a seat at the table.
> sit down

You sit down and he begins speaking.
> listen

"My name is Lord Gwyn. I'm the ruler of this land".
> "Pleasure to meet you, Lord Gwyn"


"Yes, yes, I'm sure we'll get along fine", you reply.
"So what brings a stranger to my castle?", he asks.
"Well, I came to ask if you had any help in the war with the dwarves".

> "I was going to blow up the city with my bombs"


"Oh, that won't work will it? The dwarven mines are deep underground. If you
 were to blow up the city, most likely they'd dig you out before you got out".
"What about a siege?"

> "A siege sounds good"


"A siege? What's a siege? I've never heard of such thing".

> "how can I help you?"


"Well, I need some troops to help me crush the dwarves. I know you're not fond
 of the idea but I need help".

> "I'll help"


"Great! Now I'll give you a choice. Either you help me or I kill you".
You say "Fine, I'll help you"
Lord Gwyn laughs and says "Excellent, now let's get down to business shall we?"
> "yes"


Lord Gwyn goes over to a bookcase and pulls out a map. He flips through it and
 shows you where the dwarves live. He explains that they are located in a mountain
 range north east of the kingdom
