  > Go downwards
  The soft bioluminescent plankton light reflects from the walls of a small cave. At one end, the tides have carved a narrow passage into the rock that is just wide enough to get through. The passage leads up. To the west lies the coral forest.
  
  > go west
  A coral forest of vibrant colours stretches far ahead. The colony forms different levels, with small brain corals cowering close to the ground, and head-high staghorn corals towering over them. To the east you see the entrance to the cave. To the south lies a plankton rendezvous. To the west lies the reef top.
  
  The napoleonfish is here.
  
  > give the jar to Sabina
  Sabina is overjoyed: "Wonderful, now I have my own poenk accessory! Seahorse Shantal will be so jealous."
  
  After Sabina has calmed down, which takes a while, she remembers her promise, and teaches you some basic elements of the fish language. Now you are able to communicate with other sea dwellers.
  
  > Go south
  The reef top is teeming with life. Marine creatures in all shapes and colours are whizzing around. To the south the deep water shimmers in all shades of blue. To the east you see the coral forest. To the north lies the lagoon.
  
  Sabina the snapper is here, happily playing with her jar of poenk liquid.
  
  > talk to the napoleon
  The napoleonfish looks at you with a grumpy expression: "As if we didn't have enough life forms in the sea talking all the time. But now that you have learned the fish language, I am sure you want something from me... so go ahead: Ask me to do something."
  
  > follow you
  The napoleonfish has better things to do.
  
  > ask him to come with yourself
  The napoleonfish frowns: "You're lucky that I'm fed up with these corals. Perhaps a quest offers a more interesting way to exercise my muscles. Lead the way, I will follow."
  
  > go south

  (1) The napoleonfish acted grumpy, but it had a heart of gold. It agreed to follow me without demanding anything in return.
  
  (2) I locked eyes with the gigantic napoleonfish and held its
  gaze. Soon enough, the beast wavered and broke eye contact. Although brawny and larger than myself, it soon accepted me as its master, and followed me to do my bidding.

  Tiny stray patches of turquoise light are sparkling in the water, clearly the remains of a plankton light up. To the west you see deep blue water. To the north lies the coral forest.
  
  The napoleonfish arrives with you.
  
  > Go west
  You are in deep blue water. Here, in the dark ocean, you see a wreck: the sunken galleon Santa Tortosa. At the side of the wreck you see a hatchway. To the east lies the plankton rendezvous. To the north you can see the reef top.
  
  The napoleonfish arrives from the east.
  
  The napoleonfish looks at you, then at the surroundings: "This is a nice spot. I think I'll stay here for a while. Is there anything else in particular that you would like to ask me to do, before we go our separate ways?"
  
  > ask the napoleon to push the planks
  It almost seems as if the napoleonfish is grinning. "Ah, not strong enough, are you? Well, let's see���"
  The napoleonfish pushes hard against the planks, muscles bulging. After a moment, the planks give way, and the hatchway is open. You can enter the wreck now.
  
  > enter the wreck
  You are in the former captain's cabin. Apart from an emblazoned wooden chest, the small room contains no furniture. The chest is guarded by a huge octopus. Exiting the wreck takes you back into the deep blue water.
  
  > talk to the octopus
  The huge octopus looks at you with mild regret. It says: "I can imagine why you came here. But to open the treasure chest of the Santa Tortosa, you have to give me the password first - and it changes with each adventurer who reaches me. I have been guarding this treasure for centuries. Until this day, only four brave heroes made it here, and tried to guess the password. But they all failed.
  
  To the first one I said: 1. And he should have answered: 3.
  
  To the second one I said: 2. And he should have answered: 3.
  
  To the third one I said: 3. And he should have answered: 5.
  
  To the fourth one I said: 4. And he should have answered: 4.
  
  To you I say: 5. What is your answer?"
  
  > say 4
  The octopus looks surprised: "Very well, Human, that is the correct password. But the ancient rules dictate that you explain your choice to me, to show that you are truly worthy. So tell me, what did you have to do to find the password? Name at least one action you had to perform after we started talking. If you do not want to give the explanation right away, you can always come back to give your answer. I will await your return."
  
  > say count
  The huge octopus bends its tentacles in a congratulary gesture: "Courageous adventurer, you have indeed solved the riddle of the Santa Tortosa! I deem you worthy to finally open this chest that I have been guarding for centuries. Inside you will find a treasure fit for a king."
  
  > Open chest
  You open the chest - and catch your breath. The chest is filled to the top with heavy gold coins and precious gemstones in all colours of the rainbow. You also notice a delicate locket that would make a nice thank-you present for Keira the cute librarian.
  
  > get the chest
  The octopus waves its tentacles: "Not so greedy, young adventurer. Rules dictate that you take the items one by one out of the chest."
  
  > get the locket
  You take the locket. At that moment, the treasure chest and all its remaining contents seem to lose their colour. Within seconds, they turn into dull, hard rock.
  
  The octopus smiles faintly. "You have made your choice, and this reveals more about you than any riddle can. This is the true treasure of the Santa Tortosa. My task is complete, and I look forward to finally roaming the reefs again. You may exit now. Farewell!"
  
  > Exit

  (1) The dwellers of the sea are as calm and peaceful as the ocean.
  The octopus sentinel stood its ground and guarded the treasure without harming or threatening me. When I found the password everything was as it was meant to be.
  
  (2) Only the huge octopus stood between me and the treasure. This dreadful sentinel had guarded the chest for centuries; no living being had ever overcome it. Great courage and cunning were necessary to get past it and snatch the treasure out of its menacing tentacles!

  You are in deep blue water. Here, in the dark ocean, you see a wreck: the sunken galleon Santa Tortosa. At the side of the wreck you see a hatchway. You can enter the wreck. To the east lies the plankton rendezvous. To the north you can see the reef top.
  
  The napoleonfish is here.
  
  After a soft beep, text appears in your visor:
  
  Visual sensors suggesting treasure was found. Analytical engine
  used 0 time(s). Ship has been called. Location tracking suggests to keep heading north to return to beach, where vessel will be
  waiting.
  
  > Go north
  The reef top is teeming with life. Marine creatures in all shapes and colours are whizzing around. To the south the deep water shimmers in all shades of blue. To the east you see the coral forest. To the north lies the lagoon.
  
  Sabina the snapper is here, happily playing with her jar of poenk liquid.
  
  > go north
  On the lonely beach stands a single palm tree. Little spots of sunlight are sparkling on the gently rolling waves. In the distance you hear some seagulls. A few steps to the south the ocean begins. Your ship has returned, anchoring close to the lagoon. Your wristwatch displays a final message: BOARD vessel to return to London, report
  to Adventurers' Society, and complete mission.
  
  You can see a piece of paper, a shovel and a trunk here.
  
  > dig under the tree
  (first taking the shovel)
  Under the palm tree you find an old wooden box. In the box you find a map.
  
  > look at the map
  (first taking the map)
  
  The map looks battered and old. The writing has faded over the years, but it is still legible:
  
  "Only a bold adventurer can find the treasure of the Santa Tortosa. But beware the mighty sentinel that guards it! If you dare, go south-south-south. Fortune and eternal truths await you at the end of your journey."
  
  > Board ship
  Your journey home is pleasantly uneventful.
  
  As soon as your feet touch British soil again, they take you to Keira the librarian, who is overjoyed at the beautiful locket you present to her. Giving the treasure away in this manner without appraisal of its monetary or historical value may not have been the best move for your career or financial situation, but it opens her heart to you, and you fall madly in love with each other.
  
  When you return your scuba gear and wristwatch to the Quartermaster, she is both amazed at your intelligence and a little annoyed that you had no need at all to use her latest invention, the built-in analytical engine, for any clues.
  
  Two weeks later, you receive a formal invitation letter to speak before your fellow members at the Adventurers' Society.
  
  Your presentation amazes and excites the audience. When you finish your report, the applause is overwhelming.
  
  Later, at the bar, you hear two esteemed members of the Society talking and praising both your courage and talent to spice up stories. They look forward to your future reports. If you continue to prove yourself, they might even consider proposing you for the Society's Hall of Fame. That is something you have been working towards for a long time!
