  > look at your surroundings
  You are west of the junction, where the rock-bound passage widens out into a large, flat area. Although the land here is barren, you can see vegetation to the west. South of here is a mighty wall of stone, ancient and crumbling. To the southwest the wall has decayed enough to form an opening, through which seeps a thin mist. A trail dips sharply into rocky terrain to the northwest.
  
  > Go northwest
  You are at a sharp turn on a narrow and steeply sloping path, strewn with boulders of various sizes. The path climbs sharply toward a desolate plain to the southeast. Southwest of here the path winds down to the base of a cliff.
  
  > go to the southwest
  You are at the base of a steep cliff. Directly above you is a wide ledge and far above that some natural sunlight can be seen. To the northeast is a steeply climbing path and the ground becomes sandy toward the south.
  
  > go south
  You are at the shore of an amazing underground sea, the topic of many a legend among adventurers. Few were known to have arrived at this spot, and fewer to return. There is a heavy surf and a breeze is blowing on-shore. The land rises steeply to the east and quicksand prevents movement to the south. A thick mist covers the ocean and extends over the hills to the east. A path heads north along the beach.
  
  > check your inventory
  You are carrying:
  A cloak (being worn)
  A hood (being worn)
  A sword
  A lamp
  
  > Go south
  The quicksand prevents movement here.
  
  > go to the east
  It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
  
  > turn on the lamp
  The lamp is now on.
  
  You are in a land of dark shadows and shallow hills, which stretch out in all directions. To the west, the land dips sharply.
  
  > Go south
  You are in a dark and shadowy land. All around you are gentle hills and eerie shadows. Far above, shrouded in mist, you can barely make out the ceiling of the enormous cavern that spans this entire land.
  
  > Go west
  You are standing atop a steep cliff, looking west over a vast ocean. Far below, the surf pounds at a sandy beach. To the south and east are rolling hills filled with eerie shadows. A path cut into the face of the cliff descends toward the beach. To the north is a tall stone wall, which ends at the cliff edge. It was obviously built long ago, and directly north is a spot where you could climb over the rubble of the decaying wall.
  
  > wait for a while
  Time passes...
  Passing alongside the shore now is an old boat, reminiscent of an ancient Viking ship. Standing on the prow of the ship is an old and crusty sailor, peering out over the misty ocean.
  
  > Wave
  What do you want to wave?
  
  > look

  There is a vial here.
  
  > examine vial
  It is a small, transparent vial which looks empty but is strangely heavy.

  You are carrying:
  A vial
  A cloak (being worn)
  A hood (being worn)
  A sword
  A lamp
  
  > go north
  You are at the base of a steep cliff. Directly above you is a wide ledge and far above that some natural sunlight can be seen. To the northeast is a steeply climbing path and the ground becomes sandy toward the south.
  
  > go to the north-east
  You are at a sharp turn on a narrow and steeply sloping path, strewn with boulders of various sizes. The path climbs sharply toward a desolate plain to the southeast. Southwest of here the path winds down to the base of a cliff.
  
  > Go southeast
  You are west of the junction, where the rock-bound passage widens out into a large, flat area. Although the land here is barren, you can see vegetation to the west. South of here is a mighty wall of stone, ancient and crumbling. To the southwest the wall has decayed enough to form an opening, through which seeps a thin mist. A trail dips sharply into rocky terrain to the northwest.
  
  > Go east
  You are at the junction of a north-south passage and an east-west passage. To the north, you can make out the bottom of a stairway. The ways to the east and south are relatively cramped, but a wider trail leads to the west.
  Standing before you is a great rock.
  
  > go to the south
  You are in a dank passage filled with a wispy fog. A spooky passageway leads north and a wider path heads off to the south. To the west, the path leaves the rock and enters an eerie, shadowy land.
  
  > go south
  You are in a wide cavern on the north shore of a small lake. Some polished stone steps lead to the southeast and a sheer rock face prevents any movement around the lake to the southwest. The cavern is dimly lit from above.
  
  > Go southwest
  The sheer rock face prevents movement along the lake shore.
  
  > go to the south-east
  This is a small balcony carved into a near-vertical cliff. To the east, stretching from north to south, stands a monumental aqueduct supported by mighty stone pillars, some of which are starting to crumble from age. You feel a sense of loss and sadness as you ponder this once-proud structure and the failure of the Empire which created this and other engineering marvels. Some stone steps lead up to the northwest.
  
  > examine the aqueduct
  The aqueduct is large and impressive. It was probably the major method of water transport in the Empire.
  
  > enter the aqueduct
  You hit your head against the aqueduct as you attempt this feat.
  
  > Swim
  Go jump in a lake!
  
  > jump in lake
  The shock of entering the frigid water has made you drop all your possessions into the lake!
  
  You are floating on the surface of the lake. The water is ice cold and your ability to survive here for long is very questionable. A swim north puts you at your starting point. Conditions to the east are poor where the lake turns into swamp. The west and south shores are suitable for walking, however.
  
  > drop the lamp
  Dropped.
  
  > turn off the lamp
  (Taken)
  It is already off.
  
  > Inventory
  You are carrying:
  A cloak (being worn)
  A hood (being worn)
  A sword
  
  > jump in the lake
  You are nearly paralyzed by the icy waters as you swim into the center of the lake.
