A small depression filled with ashes is dug into the ground here, and a bit of wood lies to the side. Otherwise there is not much in here, you can go to the east or the west, where you feel a draft. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5800 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5802 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5803 S #5802 Bedroom~ ~ ~ There is not much to see here, a crusty, bug-filled bed lies in one corner and a makeshift lopsided box holds the few valuables of the family. Somehow you dont think it would be worth your time to look inside of it. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5801 S #5803 Jack's Room~ ~ ~ This is where Jack stays, but it doesn't look like anyone is home. There is a large hole in the wall letting in a breeze, and nothing else of interest. Where could everyone be? ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5801 S #5804 The Beanstalk~ ~ ~ Yep, definitly a beanstalk. If you're into veggies you could live here forever, massive pods grow from the stem, full of beans. Looking down, you can see some villagers watching you, but they don't dare follow. Above the plant continues into the clouds. ~ 0 4 0 Rd 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 5805 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 5800 S #5805 The Beanstalk~ ~ ~ Uh-Oh, it seems some of the high flying wildlife has noticed you! Huge bird-like creatures are flying your way, and they don't look very friendly.

Here is the top of the stalk, it seems to lead up into a cloud. Perhaps you can find some respite from the Harpies? Hmm. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 5807 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 5805 S #5807 On the Clouds~ ~ ~ Climbing up from the stem you see a magnificent sight. A huge white castle is glowing, to the north. The walls are bright, and the turrets have pennants of every color streaming from them in the breeze. The cloud stretches away in all directions except the south, where it drops off suddenly, and looking back you almost lose your balance. The new stretch also lets you see that the harpies haven't forgotten you. ~ 0 4 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5814 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5809 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5810 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 5806 S #5808 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ You are in the very southeast corner of the cloud, way down you can see the village, with other adventurers exploring. Several Harpies have taken an interest, and are seeking to corner you. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5816 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5809 S #5809 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ A bit east of the vine you can see that the cloud is pretty much even all along the southern edge. Waaay below you spy Jack's hut and some serfs at their work. You can also see a large tree and the run-down chapel. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5815 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5808 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5807 S #5810 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ The Cloud Castle is an object of mystery so far. What could it's purpose be so high up in the air? Only more exploration can reveal its intent. There seem to be harpies everywhere, and they are not very pleasent. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5813 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5807 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5811 S #5811 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ You can go no further west here, or south for that matter, the cloud has ended. However the castle is very nice looking, though a fine mist rises from the cloud and partially covers it. Despite this you can still tell it is very large. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5812 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5810 S #5812 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ Still on the cloud, you can tell that you're a little closer to the castle than before. Harpies are everywhere, and the wall begins to loom up as you walk towards it. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5821 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5813 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5811 S #5813 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ This place is rather unpleasent, harpies are everywhere. You begin to ponder why they are in front of the castle, maybe they keep visitors out? Perhaps the castle has much loot to be won inside. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5820 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5814 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5810 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5812 S #5814 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ From here you can see the enterance to the castle, the portcullis is raised, and you think you can see a drawbridge from here, lowered across the moat. Harpies are advancing from every side, so it's probably not wise to stay here. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5819 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5815 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5807 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5813 S #5815 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ There seems to be no end to the birds. They attack from everywhere, clawing at your head in two's and three's. You cannot see any flying above the castle, however, and you can make out from here archer's holes. Are there arrows pointing at you? No on is around to answer that though. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5818 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5816 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5809 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5814 S #5816 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ You teeter on the edge of death, in more than one way. The harpies are intense, and now you are on the very edge of the cloud, it seems a bit less substantial here. To the north the mist is a bit clearer, and you can see the walls better. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5817 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5808 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5815 S #5817 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ You have come as close as possible to the wall without getting wet. You can see that it seems to be made out of ivory or marble. The clear moat is very nice looking. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5816 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5818 S #5818 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ The moat seems very inviting since there are harpies all around. To the west you see the drawbridge, down so that you can get in. Could it be down on purpose? ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5817 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5815 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5819 S #5819 The Drawbridge~ ~ ~ You are right next to the drawbridge, and many of the harpies are avoiding this area. Up on the wall you think you spy bows pointed in your direction. You hear a twang, but the arrow buries itself into a nearby harpy, and it falls dead. Maybe this castle is happy you're here after all. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5822 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5818 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5814 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5820 S #5820 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ To the east you see the drawbridge, lowered. A high marble wall rises up, and you can tell it is purely ornamental because any siege engine could easily fell it. But there is almost no chance that such a weapon could get within a firing range. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5819 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5813 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5821 S #5821 In Front of the Cloud Castle~ ~ ~ This is the far west corner of the wall, you can see that it heads north for quite a way, but the cloud it is supported by is not wide enough for you to travel on. A huge tower is here, you might have seen a glimmer off someone's armor but you can't be sure. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5820 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5812 S #5822 Under the Portcullis~ ~ ~ The sun shines between these two portculli, and you see a few guards watching as you enter. The gates seem to be made of a strange blackish stone, perhaps obsidian. No one approaches as you enter. Nor is any weapon raised in threat. ~ 0 4 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5823 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5819 S #5823 Entering the Castle~ ~ ~ The castle is huge! Golden sunbeams are shining down from above, and you can see in many directions. Way down the grand hall you see a throne shrouded with light. A few curious guards look your way but none approach. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5831 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5832 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5822 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5824 S #5824 A guard post~ ~ ~ You stand in a large guard post. A wooden table covered with the remains of a meal is in one corner, and stone benches line the walls. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5830 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5823 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5825 S #5825 Corner~ ~ ~ You can go no further here, and only one guard seems to be here. He watches you, then nods, however he dosn't say a thing. The sun also shines in here from a crack in the wall. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5829 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5824 D3 ~ ~ 3 0 5826 S #5826 Secret Passage~ ~ ~ This passage is dripping with water, and the floor seems a bit crusty. Something skitters across your foot, but not much else of interest happens. You can go north from here. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5827 D1 ~ ~ 3 0 5825 S #5827 Secret Passage~ ~ ~ This area is full of something very nasty. Spiderwebs are everywhere, and your light drips something into a shadowy pool of some unknown yet reeking liquid. A soft scratching sound can be heard to the north, and you can make out a soft looking material that is moving. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5828 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5826 S #5828 End of the Passage~ ~ ~ Rubble and stones have fallen here, blocking any more thru traffic. Looking around, you see that the strange white material that is making the scratching noise actually has a rat in it! And you feel something grasp you from behind. It starts wrapping you up before you can even move, and luckily you free your sword arm before its done. Time for a battle! ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5827 S #5829 The Grand Hall~ ~ ~ Huge pillars covered with intricate carvings are supporting this massive hall, at least 50 feet tall. You can tell that it isn't just large for ornamental reasons, the person living here must be big also. There aren't any guards in this area, however. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5837 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5830 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5825 S #5830 Grand Hall~ ~ ~ To your south is a small group of guards, barely interested in your progress. Above you can see that a skylight is letting in a bunch of sunlight through a stained glass roof. The owner of this castle probably never had anything to fear from attack. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5836 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5831 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5824 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5829 S #5831 Grand Hall~ ~ ~ Huge amounts of light pour down from above. Colorful stained glass depicted in intricate patterns, and showing scenes out of ancient stories line the ceiling. There is also a pool of dark blue water to your east. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5835 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5833 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5823 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5830 S #5832 Corner~ ~ ~ A huge crack in the wall is letting in light, briefly stopping the glow of the rest of the castle. It seems strange that these cracks were not visible from the outside. To your north you spy a pool of inviting dark blue water. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5833 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5823 S #5833 The Clear Pool~ ~ ~ The water here is an inviting color, but before taking a dip, you peer inside. The pool is not all it seem! A faint blue glow comes from the bottom. You cannot see much else except for that, but you think that is probably the reflextion of the light you have seen comming from the north. Should you step in? Or wait for other signs of safety ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5834 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5832 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5831 S #5834 Rays of Light~ ~ ~ North of the pool, you can see that the hall ends just a bit more north. Also, you can see the huge golden throne! It is a masterpiece, you can tell that even from here. A pillar stands here, depicting a scene of several men wearing blue, one carrying a key and opening a strange lighthouse. What could that mean? ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5844 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5833 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5835 S #5835 Before the throne~ ~ ~ The throne is huge, and a beautiful work. You cannot tell what material it is made of, surely gold is not this shiny! Whoever rules in this building is also of massive proportions, or they enjoy having furniture bigger than themselves, becase it is at least 3 times bigger than a regular human. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5838 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5834 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5831 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5836 S #5836 End of the Grand Hall~ ~ ~ This is the end of the huge hallway, and to your west you can see that it heads off in another direction. A bit to the east is the huge throne, and south is the portcullis of the castle. There is not much of interest here, a few small colored windows let in light but there are no pillars here. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5835 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5830 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5837 S #5837 Side Hall to the Kitchens~ ~ ~ The hall's bright lights are behind you now, and you can see the entrance to a plain-looking wooden hall. Smells of food and other good things are coming from there, and your belly rumbles. Heading in wouldn't be half bad , it does smell good! ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5836 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5829 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5839 S #5838 The Golden Throne~ ~ ~ The throne is very large, and a huge skylight is letting in the light so it shines even more. It is covered with beautiful carvings of mythical beasts, and heroes long gone. Laying a hand on it, you discover that instead of the cool of metal, it is warm! You might have even detected a shudder, but that couldn't be! This castle seems more mysterious by the step... ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5835 S #5839 Wooden Hall~ ~ ~ You have entered a hallway of highly polished mahogany, and the smells of food get stronger. It is also likely that the guestrooms are here, since you didn't see any other corridors in the grand hall. Perhaps the treasure trove is also around! ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5837 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5840 S #5840 Mahogany Corridor~ ~ ~ You can see that this is indeed a small corridor, the guest rooms are to the north and south of here. Straight down the hall you glimpse a huge furnace with a fire burning in it. The scent of good food is hard to pass up. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 3 0 5841 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5839 D2 ~ ~ 3 0 5842 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5843 S #5841 Purple Room~ ~ ~ This room is resplendent with the color of Royal Purple! Velvet drapes hang from the ceiling, and the huge bed is a deep Purple. The host or hostess doesn't seem to have much of an interior decorator. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 3 0 5840 S #5842 Blue Room~ ~ ~ The room is a dark color of navy blue. The drapes are nearly black, it is a bit depressing, but you can tell anyone who stayed here would live in comfort. The bed is at least fourteen feet long, 7 feet wide. It looks incredible plush. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 3 0 5840 S #5843 The Kitchen~ ~ ~ Uh oh!! Looks like you aren't the only one looking for food!! A huge giant moves into view, but she's not looking in your direction, yet. She seems to be searching for something very small, and is mumbling about fe's, fei's, foe's, fum's, and bone bread. Maybe you outta leave... ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5840 S #5844 Alcove~ ~ ~ This is a small alcove east of the throne. There is only one guard standing here, and he is not to interested in you. The blinding light still permeates the area though. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5834 S #5845 Under the Tiles~ ~ ~ Somehow, you managed to find a way out of the deadly water, but it is still flooded here. You can see that the tunnel heads off, and it might be a good idea to swim on and find a way out, since you don't want to go back to the pool. ~ 0 172032 8 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5846 D4 ~ ~ 3 0 5869 S #5846 Under the Tiles~ ~ ~ Small green plants are growing here, maybe alge? Also you spy a few animals who seem to be swimming quickly in the opposite direction. What could that mean? Up ahead the tunnel branches off. ~ 0 172032 8 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5847 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5845 S #5847 Intersection in the Tunnel~ ~ ~ Though dark, the water is quite clear and you can see that it is very clean, maybe drinkable. Here a large amount of underwater plants like kelp and seaweed are growing. Suddenly, out of the weeds comes a large creature, built for aquatic life. It snaps at you and a battle begins. ~ 0 139264 8 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5848 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5846 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5849 S #5848 Dead End~ ~ ~ You have reached a dead end in the tunnel, perhaps west is the way to go. ~ 0 139264 8 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5847 S #5849 Under the Tiles~ ~ ~ You think you can see the water getting lighter further north, perhaps there is a place to escape the water ahead. Small fish and plants are abundant here. ~ 0 139264 8 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5850 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5847 S #5850 Closer to the End~ ~ ~ The water is a bit lighter, directly ahead you see that it goes up into some sort of underground area. But how could that be, since you were over a cloud previously? The plants grow thickly in the light here. ~ 0 139264 8 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5851 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5849 S #5851 The Secret Cave~ ~ ~ Defying all logic, above you is a huge cavern. This seems to be some sort of access point from the Storm Castle. You also notice quite a few bones lying in the water, some still have bits of meat attached... ~ 0 139264 8 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5850 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 5852 S #5852 The Giant Cavern~ ~ ~ The cavern is almost as tall as the Grand Hall in the castle, and light flickers from many torches lining the walls. There seems to be some sort of ring of dirt around the place that tugs at the back of your head. A snarl behind you alerts that you are not alone here. ~ 0 131076 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5853 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5859 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5857 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5855 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 5851 S #5853 Northern wall~ ~ ~ You can see that the ring of dirt and debris is quite a bit taller than you, extending nearly to the top of the cavern. A squishing around your boots shows that at sometime, the place has water in it making it muddy. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5860 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5852 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5854 S #5854 Tunnel~ ~ ~ You have reached the mouth of a tunnel leading out. The wind is howling somewhere on the other end. It is a chill wind, that makes you think of being back in the cavern that partially blocks it out. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5861 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5853 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5855 S #5855 Viscera Pile~ ~ ~ Despite the terrible smell and rot, there are no flies or any kind of bugs on this rotting pile of flesh and viscera. There are some soft spots where you sink in up to the shins when you step on the pile. There is evidence of an animal having been here recently, and a rusty piece of metal that used to be a blade lies half buried in the sludge. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5854 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5852 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5856 S #5856 Southern Corner~ ~ ~ Many bones lie here, probably thrown from the stinking pile of carcasses to the north. There is not much of interest here. ~ 0 0 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5855 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5857 S #5857 Southern Wall~ ~ ~ You can hear the wind blowing quite loudly through the whole cavern from here, and you can also see a tunnel a bit to the northwest, but nothing else of interest. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5852 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 5858 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5856 S #5858 Empty Corner~ ~ ~ Nothing is here that is very interesting. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5859 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5857 S #5859 East Wall~ ~ ~ Piled up here are some large stones, in front of them area many skeletons that are whole, meaning probably that the creature who lives here at least has a basic religion. They seem to be sacrifces of some sort... ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5860 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5858 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5852 S #5860 Sacrifical Pit~ ~ ~ It seems to be empty now, but you can guess that this is where the animal or whatever keeps its sacrificial victims. But where they come from, you can only guess. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5859 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 5853 S #5861 The Tunnel~ ~ ~ It is windier here, and the tunnel only continues on for a little bit more. However, it curves and you cannot see the end of it or what might be outside. The ring is also absent from this area. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5862 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5854 S #5862 Mouth of the Tunnel~ ~ ~ You can see that the tunnel ends here, and the cloud begins! Once more this place has a suprise for you. And you can just catch the base of something, if you continue out you can see it all. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 5863 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5861 S #5863 On the Cloud~ ~ ~ Once again you find yourself in fresh air. However the cloud is only big enough for you and this.. Lighthouse?!? Yes indeed, to you east lies a large lighthouse that seems to be made of ivory bricks. As you try the door, you realise it is locked. Now, where could that key be? ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 119 5863 5864 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 5862 S #5864 Inside the Lighthouse~ ~ ~ The wind has stopped, and on the walls you can see many navigational charts, and graphs, of an unknown origon. Several paintings of strange flying ships and odd landscapes cover the wall. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 119 0 5863 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 5865 S #5865 Ascending the Stairs~ ~ ~ As you climb higher, you begin to see that the tower is not very tall, it only extends a few more turns upward. What could be at the top? And what is a lighthouse doing on a cloud? ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 5866 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 5864 S #5866 The Second Turn~ ~ ~ You have climbed another full turn on the steps. Here there is a window facing to the north, but you cannot see anything of interest, except that the landscape looks similar to one on a painting you saw below. You can also barely make out Methidoral, and a bit of the tall mountain to the north of it. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 5867 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 5865 S #5867 Third Turn~ ~ ~ From here you can tell that, on a cloudy day, any ship similar to the ones you saw in the paintings would be completely invisible to anyone on the ground. What strange sort of commuting goes on, here in the sky? How could the giant be completely unknown to anyone, even in the smallest of myts? ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 5868 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 5866 S #5868 The Lighthouse ~ ~ ~ Here, you see just what controls the lighthouse. A third creature, similar only to the others in that it looks like it has been altered in some form, is tending the fires and lamps that create a large beam of light. You can see all around from here, past Troll Mountain, perhaps even into Dragon Valley. The creature tending the fires pays no attention to your intrusion. ~ 0 131072 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 5867 S #5869 The Pool~ ~ ~ You are inside of the pool, drowning, it seems. The water seems to be preventing you from casting any spells, it is nasty indeed. You can see that the armor does contain the skeleton of the guard who wore it. Your vision begins to cloud, and it is becoming harder to breathe. You are choking!! ~ 0 411344900 8 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 3 0 5845 S #0 #SPECIALS S #GAMES S #RESETS M 0 5810 1 5800 E 0 5801 0 3 M 0 5825 1 5801 O 0 5800 0 5802 M 0 5823 1 5805 E 0 5823 0 20 E 0 5823 0 21 M 0 5808 1 5808 M 0 5824 3 5808 M 0 5809 1 5809 M 0 5807 1 5809 M 0 5811 3 5811 O 0 5814 0 5814 P 0 5815 0 5814 M 0 5809 1 5815 M 0 5803 1 5828 M 0 5865 1 5829 O 0 5833 0 5833 M 0 5843 1 5838 G 0 5863 0 M 0 5840 1 5843 M 0 5824 1 5844 E 0 5824 0 5 E 0 5825 0 20 M 0 5847 1 5847 O 0 5848 0 5848 M 0 5856 2 5855 E 0 5855 0 20 M 0 5857 1 5855 E 0 5855 0 20 O 0 5859 0 5859 O 0 5860 0 5859 M 0 5868 1 5868 E 0 5868 0 0 G 0 5834 0 S #SHOPS 0 #$
