Caves of the Wumpus


A strange mist rises to envelope you completely. The mist is very thick and impossible to see through. A strong wrenching sensation grips you and you feel your insides being tried into knots...

Just as suddenly as the feeling came it vanashes, and the surrounding mist clears to reveal...

20 : Sandstone Cave
The rock walls of this cave is composed of sandstone. Reds and yellows band horizontally around the room, and a mixture of all the different color sands, fallen from the walls, covers the floor.

You feel a draft....

You also find that the torch in your left hand is burning very brightly. In fact, it seems to be a completely new torch and likely to continue to burn strongly for a least a couple of hours.

In your other hand you discover a crossbow already loaded and cocked with a deadly looking bolt. On your back a small quiver is strapped comfortably, in which you find 4 more of the deadly bolts.

You feel that the wumpus is hiding somewhere nearby.

You are in cave 20: ``Sandstone Cave'', and you are hunting the wumpus with 5 bolts left. Three passages are clearly signed with their destination.

You can..
  • Look around this cave again.
  • Take a passage to cave : 4, 7, 14.
  • Shoot a bolt into cave : 4, 7, 14.

  • Program: ``wumpus''
