Go around the back of the house, and pry open the window. Then go into the study and get the elven sword, and the lantern from upstairs. Push (not lift!) the rug in the study. Convince someone else to go down the trap door first.
That's at
least two actions.
Once 8:30 comes around, I'm doing the turn.
EDIT:
Did I accidentally click some sort of "lock thread" button or something?
ExKirby: Load gun, take command. 5
You load all of your guns flawlessly. You then attempt to assert command over the group. Nothing seems to come of it, but you gain dabbling leadership skills (+1 to asking someone to do something).
Frelock: Open mailbox, scan mail with virus scanner, don't give bank account info to Nigerian Prince. 3
Opening the mailbox, you attempt to scan for viruses. You find some influenza, and a pamphlet that reads
"WELCOME TO ZORK!
ZORK is a game of adventure, danger, and low cunning. In it you will explore some of the most amazing territory ever seen by mortals. No computer should be without one!"
Tehstefan: Look around to see who's all here. And straighten my fedora. A man is nothing without his fedora! 3
You see a person wearing a whole bunch of red platey stuff, a very skinny person reading a pamphlet, a person with a conspicuously large left arm, and a person with a suitcase and glasses. You adjust your fedora, accomplishing nothing.
Sensei: Go around the back of the house, and pry open the window. Then go into the study and get the elven sword, and the lantern from upstairs. Push (not lift!) the rug in the study. 3
In a moment of genere-saviness, you pry open the window and climb in, then go into the living room and grab an elven sword off of the wall of the living room. Suddenly, the boarded-up door next to you explodes! Roll to dodge... 5. The splinters bounce off of you harmlessly, leaving you surprised but uninjured. (in my copy of Zork, the lantern, sword, and carpet are in the "Living Room".)
inteuniso (GMControl): I attempt to enter the house. 6
TAU SMASH! Using the full weight of your body and the strength of your left arm, you pummel the door into submission! Upon entry, you notice a very surprised Vas Regis.
Statuses: Everyone is just fine, and Sensei has a big ol' elvish sword.
