Yukari Quest - A Z-machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

>Thoroughly investigate the nearby distension!

>It is a lump of crystal, about a foot high and a yard across, nestled into the wall and spreading across the floor. It is smooth and featureless, fused perfectly with the wall and the floor, you cannot see a single seam or the like. Aside from its size and being slightly in the way, you don't see or feel anything special about it.
>The barely audible dripping continues as you examine the distension, one drop falling every few seconds.

>Kick it with the flat of our foot.

[Hello Purvis]

>Kick it with the flat of our foot.

>You kick at it, or more accurately stomp on it. It seems to be solid, and doesn't react to your blow.

[Yaersulf]

>Push it, shove it, jump up and down on it. Then give up and sit with our back to it just to complete the cliche.
>Continue down the tunnel for now.

[Hello Purvis]

>Push it, shove it, jump up and down on it. Then give up and sit with our back to it just to complete the cliche.
>Continue down the tunnel for now.

>It bites you. You die. Would you like your possessions identified?
>You continue down the tunnel. It becomes to turn rightward, and the dripping sound gets louder and more distinct. Then it stops and the corridor curves leftward. Soon, as distension in the wall comes into view, and as you near it, you become the hear the distant hint of water dripping again.

>Hmmm, continue a bit further until the sounds next peaks and look for anything odd.

[Hello Purvis]

>Hmmm, continue a bit further until the sounds next peaks and look for anything odd.

>You continue a bit further, until the sound gets as strong as you remember.
>You are at a largely unremarkable part of the corridor. Up ahead, then corridor begins to curve leftward. The pattern of the floor is rather dense, there are a lot of folds and twists in it, which run up walls before giving way to larger, thicker twists in the crystal. As you look ahead, the sound remains as strong as ever.

>So the tunnel follows roughly the outline of a star-esque shape then?

[Hello Purvis]

>So the tunnel follows roughly the outline of a star-esque shape then?

>You don't think so, it seems more like of an S-pattern. The turns haven't been sharp enough to be proper corners.

[Yaersulf]

>Okay, so then the "left" is the direction the sound comes from?

[Kilgamayan]

> Shank the sound.

[Hello Purvis]

> Shank the sound.

>"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit..." goes the sound, as you drive the screwdriver right in its eye.
>HAPPY END.
