the knockers have it (first to 3, i'm sorry!) 198 The knocker raps loudly on the heavy wooden door. You wait for a reply; nothing happens but the sudden appearance of a light behind the little glass circle. Then, in a gravelly voice, the door itself speaks to you! "You are a human warrior. You possess eight coins of gold. Please insert four coins into the slot and enter." Will you follow these instructions and put 4 Gold Pieces into the slot in the door, before going through the doorway (turn to 147)? Will you ignore the voice and push open the door immediately (turn to 286)? Or will you abandon the idea of going through this door, and instead look for a way out of the Library (turn to 27)? perepelki fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Feb 12, 2021 |

let's bust 286 You place your hand on the door and push, but it will not budge. Determined to move it, you put your shoulder against the centre of the door - and as you do so the brass knocker descends on your head! Lose 1 points of Stamina. As you fall to the ground, clutching your throbbing cranium, you hear the low voice saying "You are a human warrior. You possess eight coins of gold. Please insert four coins into the slot and enter." Will you pay the door its entrance fee of 4 Gold Pieces and then push it again (turn to 147), or will you abandon this painful door and look for a way out of the Library (turn to 27)? great job everybody

Doesn’t the option to go back to 27 mean we can just open the door without paying?

we agree to pay the door, having lost 1 stamina point and half our gold. please note that at any time we can eat some rations, using up 1 of our Provisions and gaining back 2 stamina points (up to our maximum, 18) 147 The door swings open and you step across the threshold into the room. Without warning, a bucket of water falls from the top of the door: you are drenched and the bucket strikes your head as it falls. Lose 1 Stamina point. You shake the water out of your eyes and see that you are in a small room full of half-dismantled machines. A big man, so tall that he almost has to stoop in this low-ceilinged room, is leaning against a high-backed chair and laughing so much that his eyes are as full of water as yours. "Oh dear, oh dear," he guffaws. "I didn't think anybody fell for that old bucket above the door trick these days. That's cheered me up no end! You look like a drowned rat! I'm Wayland, in case you're wondering, and you're obviously a visitor. Where do you hail from?" Will you attack this sniggering practical joker (turn to 59) or will you restrain your anger and reply to his question (turn to 103)? our stats Skill: 9 Stamina: 17 Luck: 7 Trail: 0 Gold: 4 Provisions: 2 owned perepelki fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Feb 13, 2021 |

we make the ungoonly choice not to immediately kick this clown's rear end like he deserves 103 "You're from Khul?" says Wayland. "Khul, on the world of Titan? I know of it, of course. Primitive technology, compared to some worlds I could name, but an interesting place all the same. You are wet, aren't you? Sorry about that - I just can't resist a joke. Have a swig of this, it'll dry you out in no time." Wayland's hand dwarfs the bottle that he offers you. If you accept this offer, turn to 356. If you decline to drink from the bottle, Wayland is not offended - turn to 175.

chug-a-lug 356 You put the bottle to your lips and take a mouthful of bitter liquid. Before you can spit it out, Wayland slaps you between the shoulder-blades and you swallow it. "Wonderful stuff!" exclaims Wayland. "See? You're dry as a bone already." He is right: somehow, the drink has evaporated the water that had been soaked into your clothes and hair. "Keep the bottle; there's plenty more where that came from. It's called Siccator and one swig'll keep any liquid off your person. Might come in very handy if you come across any more practical jokers like me." If you decide to keep the bottle, remember to note it on your Adventure Sheet. Turn to 175. i have added the siccator to our inventory. in the printed edition, there is a passage directly below this one where the siccator comes handy; but will i post it and spoil this magical adventure? absolutely not.

175 "Well, sit yourself down!" says Wayland. "No! Not there! That's the Automatic Impaler. Sit over here. That's right. Now then: what can I be doing for you?" You unwind the cloth that covers the small ball. Grey clouds are covering the ever-changing landscapes in the sphere, but Wayland recognises it instantly - and for several moments he sits open-mouthed in amazement. "By my hammer and anvil!" he mutters at last. "And by all the microparticles in the Macrocosmos! It's the Aleph. The one and only sphere of all spheres! There in your hand, warrior, you own everything - everything that exists, everywhere. Except here in Limbo, of course. But everything else; everywhere else. Wise men have hunted this object since the birth of the universe. You should take it away from here; the Aleph cannot reside in Limbo. But I beg you, tell me how you came by it." If you want to leave the Library in Limbo, Wayland allows you to return to the book-lined corridor - turn to 27. If you tell Wayland how you received the Aleph, turn to 267.

we talk to the clown 267 Wayland listens to your story, then ponders silently for some time. "I'm an Artefact expert," he says at last. "And, strictly speaking, the Aleph isn't an Artefact. It's not anything, really, on account of it being everything, if you see what I mean. Be that as it may, your real problem is the Spectral Stalkers. This fellow Globus may be anxious to take delivery of this here Aleph, but clever folk have been looking for this item for more years than there are books in this library, and waiting a little longer won't hurt anybody. But those Spectral Stalkers, they don't sound as if they're inclined to wait. Once you're away from Limbo, use the Aleph to travel. It will take you where it wants to go. Keep moving and the Stalkers won't find you. Also, look for Signs and Portents. Round, the signs will be, like the Aleph itself. And if you don't understand them, let the Aleph take you to the sage Semeion Cryptoglophos: he'll explain them. But keep moving to escape danger. And now, you must leave Limbo." Wayland points to a doorway engraved with the word EXIT. Dazed by his words, you step through it. Turn to 185.
