36 The Aleph's floating images condense into the glowing sphere that you hold cupped in your hands. You replace it in your backpack and look up. You are standing on a weathered stone table in the middle of an overgrown garden. You know at once that you are not on your home world of Titan; the sky shimmers like purple velvet, and floating in it are a vast pale sun and clouds like goose-down. The garden's plants are like rambling roses, but with dark leaves and aromatic magenta blooms; they have invaded the lawns, climbed the crumbling walls and embraced the carved figures of fabulous beasts that sit scowling on pedestals. There is a gate of wrought iron set into the wall and through it you see sharp-peaked mountains and a grim fortress. The gate opens; a procession enters the garden. The people are humanoid: small, with pale green skin, and green hair that rises in stiff spiral curls. They are wearing torn and dirty rags, but their leader has a fur-trimmed robe. With heads lowered they approach the stone table, and the leader begins a solemn prayer for the return of his people's champion. At the end of the incantation, he looks up - and his jaw drops in astonishment as he sees you. Will you greet these people (turn to 251) or jump from the table and run out of the garden (turn to 323)?

we do not flee from the little green men 251 The robed being interrupts your greeting. "You are confused, Lord," he says. "That is not surprising. We, the few remaining Feliti - the last of your people - have waited long ages for your return. Now we will prepare the Jewel of Sleep with which you will defeat our evil ruler." The Feliti busy themselves plucking the purple blooms from the garden plants, while their leader, in a mystical trance, begins another incantation, his hands outstretched over the growing heap of blooms brought to his feet by the people. You are sure that he is reciting a magical formula, but you are not so sure you want to find out what it does. If you decide to take out the Aleph and use its power to travel elsewhere in the Macrocosmos, turn to 365; if you would rather wait until the spell is cast, turn to 52.

We can't leave until we figure out what these purple trance flowers are and if the "Jewel of Sleep" is actually just a really pretty bong.

btw, if you run away from the feliti, they hunt you down and murder you 52 As the Feliti leader finishes his incantation, the heap of soft petals begins to glow. "Now we must wait until night," he says, "and then I will explain our plight. If I may say so, Lord, you look weary. May we refresh you?" Without waiting for your reply, he orders several of the Feliti to bring you sweetmeats and wine. You taste the food; it seems wholesome. "We will leave you now, Lord," says the robed Feliti, "and I will return after dark to speak with you. Have no fear. The eyes of the Tyrant cannot penetrate the thickets of the Eternal Garden." You decide to follow this advice and concentrate on eating (restore up to 4 points of Stamina). When you look up from your meal, the sky is darkening - and in the place where there was a heap of flowers there is now only a glittering gem. The Jewel of Sleep has been created. You pick it up and see that it is a hollow crystal containing a purple liquid. If you want to take it and then use the Aleph to travel away from this world, note the Jewel on your Adventure Sheet and turn to 365. If you wait in the garden, turn to 334.

we choose to spend a night with the fellinis 334 In the dark the garden is an eerie place. The statues seem to be watching you; the fragrance of the flowers is overwhelming. You decide to leave, but at that moment the robed Feliti appears at the gate. "We were once a proud and populous people," he says as he walks into the garden, "with many fine cities and palaces and parks. Now all is waste, and only this garden survives. But the centuries of watching and waiting were not wasted - because you have arrived to save us. Go now, in darkness: my poor accursed people hunt in their animal forms only in daylight, so you will be safe from them until dawn. Go to the Tyrant's castle, find him and kill him, and release the Feliti from his curse." Will you go to the Tyrant's castle (turn to 379) or use the Aleph to leave this world (turn to 365)?

379 One lonely light shines in the castle's tallest tower. As you approach the chasm which separates the mountain road from the sheer crag on which the castle rises, you ensure that your footsteps are silent. But as you reach the lip of the precipice a drawbridge descends from the opposite side; candlelight flickers in the archway of the gatehouse and a voice invites you to enter. The castle is empty, its richly-furnished rooms thick with dust. You make your way to the topmost chamber and there you find the Tyrant: an aged creature, with the scaly skin of a lizard, clutching a broken staff. "Do not fear me, Champion," he says. "My power is long since spent. I have been waiting here for centuries and I welcome the end of my boredom. I beg just one boon before you strike me down: show me, I pray, the means by which you came here." The Tyrant kneels before you on creaking legs, and bows his head in submission. You take the Aleph from your pack and hold it in front of him; his eyes flash silver light. "At last! Escape from this dreary place!" - and he lunges for the glowing sphere. Roll three dice. If the total is less than, or equal to, your Skill, turn to 134. If the total is greater than your Skill score, turn to 16. our skill is tragically low; we failed this check

16 You are too slow. The Tyrant plucks the Aleph from your fingers and immediately begins to disappear into it. You can only watch in horror as the sphere expands, and then contracts to a point - and disappears. You have lost the Aleph. You are stranded on this barren world where, year after year, the dwindling Feliti bring offerings to your castle and perform half-forgotten rituals in their overgrown garden. You are the new Tyrant. Perhaps, after a few centuries, a new Champion will appear on the stone table in the Feliti garden...

here is what might have been if we weren't such a bunch of un-coordinated goons 134 You succeed in snatching the Aleph from the Tyrant's grasping hands and run from the chamber and down dark spiral stairs. You hear the old creature blundering after you, muttering curses, and from the bottom of the tower you hear the echoes of doors slamming shut. The only way to escape is to use the Aleph: turn to 365. this makes me laugh. there is no option to kill the tyrant; you either lose the aleph or you get the shits and hightail it out of there. the feliti are left to fend for themselves, and you even took their gem so they have no weapon left. they are never mentioned again. what happens to them? who cares!
