Heute will ich mich auf auf den ersten der drei geplanten Höhlengänge zur Einsamm­lung aller Schätze beschränken. Weil das nur eine kurze, aber ergiebige Wande­rung sein wird, unter­drücke ich keine Details der schönen Beschrei­bungen.

Welcome to Adventure!!  Would you like instructions?
NO
You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building.
Around you is a forest.  A small stream flows out of the building and 
down a gully. 
IN
You are inside a building, a well house for a large spring. 
There are some keys on the ground here. 
There is a shiny brass lamp nearby. 
There is food here. 
There is a bottle of water here.
GET LAMP

XYZZY
It is now pitch dark.  If you proceed you will likely fall into a pit.

at the east end of the passage. 
There is a small wicker cage discarded nearby.
GET CAGE

PIT
It is now pitch dark.  If you proceed you will likely fall into a pit.
LAMP ON
Your lamp is now on.
At your feet is a small pit breathing traces of white mist.  An east
passage ends here except for a small crack leading on.
Rough stone steps lead down the pit.
EAST
You are in a splendid chamber thirty feet high.  The walls are frozen 
rivers of orange stone.  An awkward canyon and a good passage exit
from east and west sides of the chamber.
A cheerful little bird is sitting here singing. 
GET BIRD
Ok
WEST
You're at top of Small Pit. 
Rough stone steps lead down the pit.
DOWN
You are at one end of a vast hall stretching forward out of sight to
the west.  There are openings to either side.  Nearby, a wide stone 
staircase leads downward.  The hall is filled with wisps of white mist
swaying to and fro almost as if alive.  A cold wind blows up the
staircase.  There is a passage at the top of a dome behind you. 
Rough stone steps lead up the dome. 
SOUTH
This is a low room with a crude note on the wall.  The note says, 
"You won't get it up the steps".
There is a large sparkling nugget of gold here! 
GET GOLD
Ok
NORTH
You're in Hall of Mists.
DOWN
You are in the Hall of the Mountain King, with passages off in all
directions. 
A huge green fierce snake bars the way! 
FREE BIRD
The little bird attacks the green snake, and in an astounding flurry
drives the snake away.

Ich habe die Lampe geschont, solange es ohne Licht noch ungefährlich war, den Vogel hoffent­lich in der Mini­malzahl von Schritten gefangen, das Gold auf dem Weg zur Schlange mitge­nommen und sie mit dem Vogel vertrieben, um an die Juwelen zu kommen.

chambers.  To the east a low wide crawl slants up.  To the north a
round two foot hole slants down.

west and another goes north.  To the south is a little passage 6 feet 
off the floor.

THROW AXE
You attack a little dwarf, but he dodges out of the way.
Out from the shadows behind you pounces a bearded pirate!  "Har, har,"
he chortles, "I'll just take all this booty and hide it away with me
chest deep in the maze!"  He snatches your treasure and vanishes into 
the gloom.
There is a threatening little dwarf in the room with you! 
One sharp nasty knife is thrown at you! 
It misses!
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. 
There is a little axe here.

Da ist der Pirat und raubt mir meine Schätze. Hätte er noch auf sich warten lassen, müßte nutzlos Zeit vertan werden, um auf ihn zu warten. Auch schnell von den Zwergen ange­griffen zu werden, ist besser als später, wenn schon mehr Arbeit inve­stiert ist.

GET AXE
Ok

There is a threatening little dwarf in the room with you! 
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

says "MAGIC WORD XYZZY".
A three foot black rod with a rusty star on an end lies nearby.

You scored 119 out of a possible 350, using   58 turns.
You have achieved the rating: "Experienced Adventurer". 
To achieve the next higher rating, you need 12 more points.

Die Schatzkiste brachte 14, jeder andere Schatz 12 Punkte. Hinzu kommen die übli­chen 57, wodurch sich stolze 119 Punkte in nur 58 Schrit­ten ergeben, wovon fünf auf die Bekämp­fung der Zwerge gehen.

Die heutige Wanderung führte nicht tief in die Höhle und kann auf der Karte verfolgt werden. Sie zeigt den rechten, östlichen Teil des Gesamt­gebietes und fügt sich mit dem linken, west­lichen Teil der näch­sten Wande­rung zu einem Gesamt­plan, in dem nur unwesent­liche Fakten fehlen sollten.

Die beiden Labyrinthe wurden in früheren Wande­rungen bereits voll­ständig erkundet und sind hier unter ADL und AAL zusammen­gefaßt. Natürlich konnten nicht alle Wege ver­zeichnet werden. Wegge­lassen sind aber nur leichte Abkür­zungen. Ist eine Verbin­dung nur auf einer Seite beschrif­tet, so gibt es keinen Weg zurück. XYZZY, PLUGH und PLOVER wirken in beide Rich­tungen. Das Gitter ist mit #####, die Eng­stelle mit @@@@@ und der Riß inmitten der Dunst­halle mit ::::: ange­deutet.

Der vorstehende erste Raubzug wurde zunächst von einer Komman­dopro­zedur gespielt, in der jeder Schritt von THROW AXE und GET AXE gefolgt wurde. Um die Zahl der Schritte zu redu­zieren und später nicht mit leeren Batte­rien dazu­stehen, wurde der Ablauf anschlie­ßend von Hand durch­gespielt und als Basis für den zweiten Raubzug gesi­chert.
