It is dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

The place to hang out and talk about totally anything general.

Game restored. The grue, oblivious to such fine points as file systems and time travel, gets confused, eats microchip08, and goes off for a digestive nap.

You currently have:
A lamp (no batteries)
A paperclip
A cursed lodestone

Gee, with all that focus on grues and your belongings, you completely forgot your surroundings.

Only one command may be run at a time. "LOAD MANIC "MINER"" will not be executed.

The paperclip is small. On the side is a small pouch that is weighted by the object it contains.

The paperclip contains another paperclip.

...Despite the fact that it is a paperclip, and inherently not designed for storage in the first place.

...Whatever.

Anyway, the correct thing to do now would be to sign off, possibly leaving you with a handy reminder of your newly updated inventory, and of course the lovely little greater-than sign which heralds the beginning of the player's next turn, and then kindly leave it for that player like a good boy, and not fill it in myself, which would ruin the point of the game. Aren't I a lovely little text adventure thing. So here goes:

You currently have:
A lamp (no batteries)
A paperclip
A cursed lodestone

While you have been dallying around and failing to understand, an Dwarf has approached.

There is a threatening little dwarf in the room with you!

One sharp nasty knife is thrown at you!

It misses!

Tom Cruise, having reached the peak of his career (and a very small hill it was) several years ago, is beyond reason. He pulls a small device from his left pocket, and there is a bright light. You are dazzled for a moment, but when you once again regain the ability to see, you are faced by Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and a John Travolta Clone with Bad Dredlocks.

Done. Your actions seriously amuse your opponents. Very much so. In fact, John Travolta starts laughing loudly. It looks like he can't control it. After a few painful to watch seconds, he drops dead. Well done! You only have a mad Tom Cruise and a John Travolta Clone with Bad Dreadlocks to deal with now.

You have:
A lamp (no batteries)
A cursed lodestone

You are wielding:
A straightened paperclip

You wait a few moments. The bowels of Travolta's dead body relax, and you are forced to stop waiting.

It's really heavy. You wish you could get rid of it somehow, but you can't: it's cursed. Apart from that, it appears to be just an ordinary stone. Did I already say it's heavy?
