Check yourself! You need the rope and lamp…and nothing else. Use the inventory command to see what you are carrying and then take accordingly.

Slide Room
So...now what? The entrance to the room is down there, somewhere. We can't stop once we start to go down the slide, so we need a way to slowly go down part of the ramp. Good thing we have the rope. Now we need something to tie it to. Yes, you in the third row with wearing paisley, you wanted to say something? Hmmm...that could work.

There is a wooden timber on the ground here.
Of course! The old man, I mean the timbers from Scene 24!

Dropped.
>tie rope to timber
The rope is fastened to a broken timber.
The rope dangles down the slide.
I guess we just live right.
>down
[Slide #1] As you descend, you realize that the rope is slippery from the grime of the coal chute and that your grasp will not last long. This is an uncomfortable spot within the coal chute. The rope to which you are clinging can be seen rising into the darkness above. There is more rope dangling below you.
Good thing you aren't carrying anything else with you, as extra weight will cause you to lose your grasp on the slippery rope and ride the slide.
>down
[Slide #2] This is another spot within the coal chute. Above you the rope climbs into the darkness. The end of the rope is dangling five feet beneath you.
Geez...where the heck is that room?
>down
[Slide #3] You have reached the end of your rope. Below you is darkness as the chute makes a sharp turn. On the east here is a small ledge which you might be able to stand on.
Whew!
>east
[Slide Ledge] This is a narrow ledge abutting the coal chute, in which a rope can be seen passing downward. Behind you, to the south, is a small room.
>south
[Sooty Room] This is a small room with rough walls, and a ceiling which slopes steeply from north to south. There is coal dust covering almost everything, and little bits of coal are scattered around the only exit, which is a narrow passage to the north. In one corner of the room is an old coal stove which lights the room with a cherry red glow. There is a very narrow crack on the north wall. On the floor sits a red crystal sphere.
Yahoo! Another sphere!
>take sphere
Taken.
>gaze into sphere
As you peer into the sphere, a strange vision takes shape of a distant room, which can be clearly described...
This is the living room. There is a door to the east...
The living room...so the red sphere sees where the white sphere is, while the white sphere sees where the blue sphere is located, and the blue sphere led us to the red sphere. The circle is complete.

Just Fred,
ReplyDeleteI wanted you to know that someone is reading this stuff. I am up to 628 points in the Frotz version and can't seem to move on to the end game. There is something I have missed or need to discover. I will be staying tuned. Thank for the enhanced map as well.
