It's simple, I'll take the first action (That results in a significant result, so don't "Look" forever, please.) and post what the outcome was. If someone uses "Inventory" or something like that beforehand, I'll post it too. If you die, I'll post the death message and undo your action.


You are the hunter. You are carrying your crossbow (loaded with a bolt), a thighband with four bolts (strapped to your leg), and a brightly-glowing lamplens (on your wrist). The cave branches here: ahead, right, and left. The animal, your prey, is somewhere in the darkness ahead.

Nearly -- nearly. The animal stink is rank and close. You raise your crossbow, try to peer beyond dark, wet stone.

Fire a shot into the darkness, then head in.

>shoot ahead
You steady your aim; steady your breath; squeeze the trigger; wait for... nothing...

You stifle a snort of wry laughter. Weeks of practice -- and when you come to the moment, you forget to cock the crossbow.

Something shifts in the darkness ahead, a great silent bulk. Your prey.

>ahead
You creep up the passage, as stealthily as you can. It must be retreating ahead, for you see only empty stone, though the smell grows harsher...

And the eyes of the beast are on you, and claws come out of the night.


    *** You have died ***


YOU WIN.

Restart?

Sure, why not?

Blegh. This adventure takes far too long to complete for it to be a forum game. I'm going to give up and assume it ended after the first post.
