Garok Al-Mat, Wizard Trapped in Despise[+bye +job +name +Brother Wayne]
You see a mage with a wild look in his eyes.
You see a mage with a peaceful look in his eyes.
"Thou art talking to me?" Garok asks, suspiciously.
name{
The mage stares at you a moment. "Art thou from the Britannian Tax Council?"
yes{
"Then I am nobody!" END
}else{
"Good for thee. I would have had to kill thee. I am Garok Al-Mat. At least, the last time I looked in the mirror, that was who I was!"
"I like thee already! I am Garok Al-Mat."
}
}[-name +Tax Council]
job{
Garok looks as if he might suddenly tear out his hair, but he restrains himself.
"I am... -was-... a mage. Until it all went wrong. I am attempting to correct things."
[+correct +mage]
"I am, and always have been, a mage. I was down here trying to locate what was amiss with the ethereal waves, but they seem to be all right now."
}[+ethereal waves +mage]
mage{
Garok suddenly hits himself on the side of the head.
"Get out! Damn thee! Out of there! No one invited thee into mine head! Away with thee!"
Garok hits himself again, shakes his head like a wet dog and makes a blubbering sound with his lips.
Garok looks at you and smiles. "That's better. Now, what was it... oh yes, I remember. Thou dost not believe I am a mage? Well, I am. I live in the mountains. But now I am lost in this wretched dungeon."
[+lost +thine head]
"I usually live in the mountains, but I am lost in this dungeon."
}[+lost -mage]
ethereal waves|correct{
"My magic is not working!
"My magic was not working!
"I attributed it to a disturbance in the ethereal waves! I had to find out what was happening. So here I am!"
}[-ethereal waves -correct]
thine head{
"There is a voice in mine head. Some demon of some sort. It is always congratulating me on things. And then other times it scolds me for things. I -know- it is not my conscience. I -know- what -he- sounds like! This is... someone else."
}[-thine head +voice]
voice{
"I started hearing it around the time my magic began to fail. I do not find it amusing."
}[-voice]
lost{
"My crystal ball told me that the source of my problems was in a dungeon, but it did not say which one. This was the first dungeon I had ever explored. I have not found anything that might help me, and I cannot find my way out!"
"I came down here to find the source of my problems. My crystal ball told me that it was in a dungeon, but did not say which one. This is my first dungeon expedition, and now I am lost."
}[-lost +wrong dungeon +way out]
wrong dungeon{
You explain to Garok that the Tetrahedron Generator is located in Dungeon Deceit.
"Hmmmm. Correct idea. Wrong dungeon."
}[-wrong dungeon]
way out{
"Dost thou know the way out?"
yes{
You tell Garok how to get out of the dungeon.
"Why, it sounds so simple! My marbles must be losing me!
"I thank thee! Now I must be on my way. In fact, now that I know the way, I can use what little magic I have going for me to teleport. One must know the direction thou art travelling if one wishes to teleport!
"Say, for helping me, wouldst thou like to have some useless reagents? By useless, I mean they are useless to me. They are probably perfectly good reagents. Thou art welcome to have them. Dost thou want them?"
yes{
"Good. One less thing I have to carry."
"Oh. Thou dost not have the room. Too bad."
}else{
Garok shrugs. "Suit thyself. Thanks anyway."
}
You watch as Garok turns, intones a spell, and vanishes.*
}else{
"Oh. Thou art as lost as I, eh? Then we shall surely die in here."
}
}[-way out]
Tax Council{
"Grrrr! They are a thorn in my side! They have been seeking me for the past three years! I neglected to report a certain amount of income for reagent distribution, and somehow they found me out. By the way, if thou shouldst ever care to visit me in the mountains, I can sell thee reagents at reduced prices!"
}[-Tax Council]
Brother Wayne{
"Yes, I remember him! He is lost, too! Dost thou know if he found his way out? Give him my best when thou dost speak to him."
}[-Brother Wayne]
bye{
"Goodbye." END
