You are in a square room with tall ceilings. A huge mirror fills the south wall. There are exits east and northeast.
> look in the mirror
An ugly person stares back at you.
> go northeast
You have entered the Land of the Living Dead. Thousands of lost souls can be heard weeping and moaning. In a corner are the remains of previous adventurers less fortunate than yourself. A passage exits to the north.
Lying in one corner is a beautifully carved crystal skull. It appears to be grinning at you rather nastily.

The flame is extinguished.
brass bell: Dropped.
black book: Dropped.
> take the skull
Taken.
> go north
> go up
> go west
You are outside a large gate inscribed, “Abandon all hope ye who enter here!” The gate is open; beyond you can see a desolation, with a pile of mangled bodies in one corner. Thousands of voices, lamenting some hideous fate, can be heard. The gate is barred by evil spirits, who jeer at your attempts to pass.
> go south
The spirits block you from passing through the gate.
> attack the gate with the screwdriver
The gate is protected by an invisible force. It makes your teeth ache to touch it.
> ring the bell
A deep peal issues from the bell. The wraiths stop jeering and an expression of long-forgotten terror takes shape on their ashen faces. In your confusion, the candles drop to the ground (and they are out).
> take the candles
Taken.
> light a match
One of the matches starts to burn.
> light the candles with the match and read the book
The candles are now lit.
The flames flicker wildly and the earth trembles beneath your feet. The spirits cower at your unearthly power.
The match has gone out.
The prayer revererates in a deafening confusion. As the last word fades, a heart-stopping scream fills the cavern, and the spirits, sensing a greater power, flee through the walls.
> go south
This is a tiny cave with entrances west and north, and a dark, forbidding staircase leading down.
> wait
Time passes…
A gust of wind blows out your candles!
> go down
…in the magic boat
You are on a narrow strip of beach between the White Cliffs and the Frigid River. A tiny passage leads west into the cliff.

You are on your own feet again.

Altar
On the two ends of the altar are burning candles.
On the altar is a large black book, open to page 569.
> take the candles and the book
pair of candles: Taken.
black book: Taken.
> go down
You are on the Frigid River just below the dam. The river flows quietly here. There is a landing on the west shore.
> wait
Time passes…
The current carries you downstream.
The river descends here into a valley. The are no landings on either shore. In the distance a faint rumbling can be heard.
> wait
Time passes…
The current carries you downstream.
The sound of rushing water is nearly unbearable here. On both the east and west shores there are beaches.
There is a red buoy here (probably a warning).
> take the buoy
As you take the buoy, you notice something odd about the feel of it.
> go west
The magic boat comes to rest on the shore. Continue reading
You are at the base of the dam, which looms above you. The river Frigid begins here. Across it, to the east, cliffs form giant walls stretching north-south along the shore.
There is a folded pile of plastic here which has a small valve attached.
> blow up the pile of plastic with the air pump
The boat inflates and appears seaworthy. A tan label is lying inside the boat.
> read the label
Hello, Sailor! Instructions: To enter a body of water, say “Launch”. To get to shore, say “Land” or the direction you want to go. FROBOZZ MAGIC BOAT COMPANY Warranty: This boat is guaranteed for 9 seconds from date of purchase or until used, whichever comes first. Good Luck!
> drop the label and the pump
tan label: Dropped.
hand-held air pump: Dropped.
> get in the boat
You are now in the magic boat.
> launch the boat
You are in a cavern to the north of what was formerly a lake. However, with the water level lowered, there is merely a shallow stream, easily. A slimy stairway climbs to the north.
There is a hand-held air pump here.
> take the pump
Taken.

> go down
You are on what used to be a large lake, but which is now a large mud pile. There are “shores” to the north and south. Half-buried in the mud is an old trunk, bulging with jewels.
A suspicious-looking individual with a large bag just wandered through and quietly abstracted some valuables from the room.
