LOCALIZATION BY OBJECTIVE
[Press any key to begin game]

>

You come to consciousness. The Elder had sent you to retrieve a precious treasure from this Realm. Your olfactory senses suggest that a substance that may or may not be cinnamon is one of the composition in the air. You are enveloped in darkness.

Warmth and crackling noises can be felt and heard respectively.

(Disclaimer: I don't know Lojban. Don't submit commands in Lojban. Seriously. Don't.
This adventure was originally on MSPAForum. They don't seem to warm very well to the idea of Roll to Dodge, though, and are quite thick at the puzzles, so here we are.

The story at the moment is quite linear, because I am running you through the tutorial. You won't have much free will until you leave the Maze. This doesn't mean shenanigans aren't allowed. It just means most of the things you do won't have any plot significance.)

[hops]

You open your eyes. The visibility does not increase. Either it is dark, or you are incapable of seeing. The crackle of nearby flame suggest the latter.

This does not bode well, but in this dimension you are sure magics can bring your sight back.

As if on cue with your thought, you hear a cosmic whirr, and the clangor of fallen objects nearby.

(Would you guys bother with this if I tell you that it'll be multiplayer as soon as the Maze is completed, and it'll also be illustrated, if you can solve the blind punzle)

[Xantalos]

>Edge forward. Try to find a wall.

[Spaghetti7]

magics can bring your sight back.

Ohkay....

>Find out if we posses "magics"

[hops]

The correct spelling would be majyyks. Apologies.
You probably do have majyyks, else why would you be sent on this job?
However, the spells of your homeworld are not much use in this alien world. What skills you used to have, are stifled by the ethers of this dimension.

You edge forward, disregarding the objects that fell near you. You did not move far before you crash into what seems to be a couch. The leather on it felt wrong.

Moving further, you find smooth walls, the even splits suggesting planks.

You edge forward, disregarding the objects that fell near you

>Head to where we heard the objects fall and attempt to identify them. Unless they bite. Then don't.

[hops]

It takes a while for you to stumble to the objects. You kick into what seems to be a toolbox.
Upon feeling e other loose objects, you find that one is a hammer, and another a saw.
You feel some sort of strangeness in the saw, suggesting that it is an unbound object, What that means, you seem to have forgotten. Some of the saw's energy is linked to the hammer.

(This punzzle is a bit obscure, and pretty hard considering that the game's mechanic wasn't explained yet. I gave you some hint, and if you can solve it I'll cook up a nice bonus. You can give up, though.)

[Spaghetti7]

((erm....))

strangeness in the saw

The leather on it felt wrong.

>Take the hammer and saw to the couch and examine that. What's wrong about it?

[hops]

You picked up the hammer and saw.

With your eyesight returned, you have an easier time navigating the room. There are three couches, surrounding a ghastly table. The table is made with some sort of cracked ivory glued together. The leather couches are smooth and fine. Unnaturally smooth and fine, in fact. The fireplace is very crude, fashioned out of some white plaster. The flame is fueled by tiny, dark brown beads that occasionally explodes. Every time one of them burn out, you could feel the pile shift slightly as if something was shoved in from below.

Apart from the alien furnishings, the room was bare and cubical, built with wood planks. No exit could be found.

Back on the toolbox, you notice a piece of note stuck on it.

(Would you believe that MSPA took days to figure that out?)

[Chink]

>Read note

[Spaghetti7]

(Would you believe that MSPA took days to figure that out?)

((Wait, what? Did our eyesight come back from touching the saw?))

>Read note

+1

[hops]

You read the note.

Spoiler: Note (click to show/hide)

Brothers,

It would have seem that something had gone wrong with the Dimension Shift, but if you are reading this, I think you have already solved your eyesight problem.

There is, however, your amnesia, but I would believe that would not be much of a problem in your mission. You only need to regain control of your magic. If the information gleaned form our end prove correct, all your consciousness have been fused together as well. Do not panic! You should be able to split soon enough,

I cannot provide much details about your magic. Try to SENSE the SAW, then TURN it to a DICTUM.
