I now understand that the barbaric rites in the temple have raised them from their eternal sleep and that it is only a question of time before they reconquer Earth. When this happens, we are all doomed. Our only hope is to reimpose the ban once set upon the evil Gods by the Eternal Ones. A sacrifice, on which a mystic symbol is written with holy powder, is necessary to summon them . Hidden in the cryptic language of the Caelestae Horriblis were the ingredients for this powder, and I gathered them in my hideout. I have searched for the exact shape of the mystic symbol, but this knowledge has been denied me. My time is running out, but I know that people from Earth are sometimes thrown into this dimension, and my last wish is that someone can continue where I failed and prepare the sacrifice.",

Although you will spend the rest of your life trying to forget what you have just seen, the sight of that sickly glowing fur, fish-mouthed face and razor-like fingers remains forever etched in your mind.

Built to the precise specifications of Lord Dimwit Flathead, its excessive structure holds 69,105 seats, not including the royal box seats that are centrally situated on the 37th mezzanine. The seats themselves are built like thrones, with high, wooden backs that obscure visibility and make the seating area seem rather like a forest of stunted trees. A long aisle runs the entire length of the auditorium from the Cultural Center to the west to the oversized stage to the east. In all other directions, narrow aisles have been arranged in the \"maze of twisty passages\" style that was so popular in Dimwit's day; I would strongly recommend avoiding them.",

Before you, a row of delicately crafted porcelain busts of these immortal greats once stood. Legend has it that so lifelike were these busts, that they would seem to talk among themselves, discussing history, the arts, music, and philosophy, much as those mythic figures did in the Golden Age of Text Adventures. But years of neglect and the ravages of time have toppled most from atop their finely-wrought pedestals. Now, alas, the only two that remain are those of Marc Blank and Mike Berlyn, bloodied, but unbent; battered, but unbroken; shaken, but not stirred.\n\nWorse than the physical desecration of this shrine, it is clear that an attempt was made to commercialize what remains, for now, above the busts, is a sign reading, \"Consult the Oracles - 10 Zorkmids.\" Beneath the sign is a coin-sized slot. \n\nMike's eyes, like those on a famous science-fiction adventure game box, seem to follow you as you approach. \"Marc! Wake up! We have company!\"",

The number \"10\" is replaced by \"9\" as his voice drops three or four octaves. \"Now hear the Oracle of the Implementers,\" he begins.

(2) And, finally, \"Listen.\" Then, snapping out of his trance-like state, he looks in your direction rather sheepishly. \"Sorry about that,\" he says. \"I get a little carried away. Just another five Zorkmids and I'll finish up with a really juicy piece of information.\" He looks at you expectantly.\n\nMarc's bust does a double-take. \"Hmm,\" he hmms. \"Not a bad-looking specimen, though back in the old days, they built `em tougher.\"",

Visions of tickertape parades, keys to cities, your picture on the front page of the newspaper, all swim in your head. And best of all, your name included in the honor roll of Adventurers. You can almost see the Grand Inquisitor welcoming you back with open arms, his reward in the forefront of your mind, as you, at last, come out into the light of day you feared you would never again see.\n\nAs you stretch and take in a big, healthy breath of fresh air, you hear the clicking and whirring of giant mandibles exiting from the opening behind you. You wheel around and point the can at the leader ant and spray for all you're worth (which at this point isn't much.) Still, you take out the leader ant, and the others, seeing his (or her) fate, run back to the safety of the tunnel. As you turn away from the tunnel, you are quickly surrounded by the Grand Inquisitor's guards. They seal the tunnel and then escort you to the Grand Inquisitor himself. His huge eyebrows arch upward as he glances at you, his eyes traveling up and down your frame.\n\n\"You seem somehow... changed,\" he booms. \"Have you grown?\"\n\n\"No...\" you say, noticing for the first time your more upright, less-cowering stance.\n\n\"Speak not unless spoken to!\" he interrupts. \"Now, tell me of the treasures which lie below, of the vast riches, of the wealth. Which gem or bauble did you find in greatest number?\"\n\n\"Well, there were a lot of grues,\" you say.\n\n\"Grues, indeed.\" Shaking his enormous head, the Grand Inquisitor turns to his advisor, Wartle, and sighs. \"Yes, you were right, wise one. We should have sent Bilbonic the Plague.\" He turns back to you. \"Still, you managed to explore and return safely. As your reward, you may take the afternoon off.\"\n\n *** You have won ***\n\n\nIn that game you scored 100 out of a possible 100, in 84 turns, earning you the rank of The Ultimate Infocom Text Adventurer. Congratulations!\n\nWould you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, give the FULL score for that game or QUIT",
