Floating High Above Lamman~
Behold! You stand at the brink of high adventure, pulse quickening
danger, and magnificent treasures beyond your grandest dreams. By some strange
cosmic force you have materialized here: the gateway to the vast realm known as
the Archipelago!
Looking around, you are surprised to discover yourself standing on a
grayish-white cloud floating high above the ground. Although standing here in
the clouds is quite cozy and safe, you begin to feel restless and look for a
way down from the sky. Far below, you see a bubbling marble fountain in the
middle of the busy Market Square of the great harbour city of Lamman. A
slender golden rope will help assist in your descent down.

The Central Fountain~
This is the central hub of the entire market place. It is dominated by an
imposing marble basin, into which water flows from a large statue of rather
dubious artistic merit. Among the carefully cut flagstones surrounding the
fountain is a squarish block of polished granite inscribed with a map. It
seems so peaceful here with the %2gentle murmur of business activity all
around, the occasional nicker of horses as they drink from the fountain and
the %merry burble of water as it flows into the basin. It's really a shame
you can't stay here all the time.

offer the finest lodgings in town. Just to the south you can see the large

The flagstones that pave the Lamman Market Square are probably the most

there is activity. As you stand here, you brush shoulders with a wide range
of people, everyone from wealthy merchants to poor tramps and beggars. You
hear the soothing babble of water dancing in a large marble fountain to the
east. The Market Square extends off to the north and south, while a small
courtyard opens up to the west between the Warrior Widow Inn and a bakery.

The busy market square of Lamman is filled with activity and noise. There
are people everywhere you turn, each face unrecognizable from the last.
Everyone is busy running around on some errand, or busy hawking something you
may not need. Loaming above this chaos, is the orderly Temple of Lamman to
the north. Set up in this corner of the market are quite a few lending tables
set up by usurers interested in making quite a bit of money by bilking temple
worshippers and pilgrims of their gold. Pauper's Row lies to the east. The
market continues south and west.

Sigur's Armour Repair Smithy~
Everyone knows that dwarves make the best blacksmiths, something to do with
surface area to volume ratios or some such thing. To be sure, in Lamman the
blacksmiths are all dwarves. No one is sure exactly how this came to be, but
some time ago a few trolls tried to set up a rival smithy in the heart of the
Troll Quarter. Rumour has it there was an accident one night, and they were
found melted down in their own forge the next morning.
Sigur is usually to be found here in his shop shaping steel plates into
armour for the City Watch. By virtue of his skill at smithing armour, he has
a contract to forge armours for the King and the city guard. Of course, a lack
of competition more than encourages it. Despite a regular income, he still
insists in making a little extra coin on the side, and if not busy with other
things repairs the armour of adventurers in need.

This is the plush entry hall of the Warrior's Widow. Small paintings of
slain heroes and dead fighters adorn the walls, their memories kept alive
here in this small gallery. Also on the wall is a well-detailed map of
the city. Scattered around the room are a few rickety tables and chairs of
unvarnished pine. More tables and chairs can be found in the inn's bar and
restaurant to the north.
A set of stairs leads up to the lodgings reception, if you want a room for
the night, that is where you should go. The inn exits south onto a quaint
little road, and east onto the northwest part of Market Square.

market square. To the north, the ornate entrance to the temple offices can
be seen. Before you take another step in any direction, you notice a squarish

As you step through the door reality seems to waver, you arn't quite sure

stored in this one place that it is warping the fabric of space. This is

large and polished with a map inscribed on it. An arched wooden gateway is on
the southside of the courtyard and the strong smell of horses can be detected
in that direction. Courtyard Lane continues to the east, past the Warrior
Widow Inn and back towards the Market Square. A dirt path leads north along
the River Ronnan.

Ahab's End Row~
Small bits of garbage swirls around in the light breeze coming off the
River Ronnan to the west. The broken cobblestones and strewn rubbish seem
to suggest a state of neglect and abandonment unusual to this great harbour
city. On the south side of the row, you see the back of an inn. To the

mercenary companies allied with the city and various racks are evenly spaced
around the room to hold weapons not in use. The Master of the Warrior's Guild
is usually to be found here, training the city guard and other aspiring
novices in the warrior's art.

The Lamman Public Library~
This is a beautiful facility provided by the townsfolk for the betterment
of the general populace. Here, you can relax unmolested in peace, and catch
up on the latest news, and perhaps learn something new. The library has many
books available, all of which are chained to rickety wooden shelves to help
prevent theft. There are also maps displayed on the walls. One map in
particular catches your eye. This library exits east onto a wide paved muddy
road.

moby dick~
Call me Ishmael. Some years ago--never mind how long precisely--having
little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on
shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of
the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating
the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth;
whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself
involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear
of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an
upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me
from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking
people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I
can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical
flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship.
There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men
in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings
towards the ocean with me...
~
E
hint3~
Fifth, when you are able to enjoy a moment of rest, type 'commands'. This,
coupled with the help files, might make life on Archipelago a bit easier.
Finally you will need a place to rent when you are tired. The nearest inn
is the Warrior's Widow. The innkeeper can be found 2 west, 1 north, and 1 up
from the fountain.
Best of luck! Please feel free to ask for help, and do not feel shy in
directing any comments, complaints, or suggestions you may have on the
various boards about town. To write on a board type `write <name of topic>'.
(Remember to include a carriage return <CR> after each line.)
~
E
hint2~
Third, you will probably want to start gaining experience. The best way
to do this is to start slowly. Try battling the various bugs and other small
critters that surround the fountain. Bugs, toads, and sparrows all make
excellent fodder for your sword. Also avoid attacking any being with the
word `(citizen)' it its title. If you do, they will alert the guards to your
murderous attacks and will whisper to other citizens - who will then become
hostile toward you.
Fourth, you may want to visit the various guilds and wandering guildmasters
to obtain new skills, spells, and weapon proficiencies. At the guildmaster,
type `learn' (for skills), `study' (for spells), and `train' (for weapons).
As an example, to learn four levels of magic theory, type `learn 4 magic'.
The difficulty, or ease, in learning skills, spells and weapons is determined
by your ability statistics.
~
E
hint1~
First, give yourself a title by typing `title %n the great!'. The %n in
the title is your name and is necessary. Other %codes includable can be
found in the help file by typing 'help title'. You can also add colour to
your title to give it that special pizzazz. Type 'help ansi' to see what
%colour codes you can add.
Second, although the immorts are generally stingy and not given to bouts
of gift giving, they recognize that you are new on the Archipelago and have
granted you some equipment. Type `i' (inventory), and `eq' (equipment), to
see what has been bestowed upon you. Your equipment has been resized to
personally fit you. If you notice, there is a sword nestled in a scabbard.
To use that weapon, type `draw'. To sheathe it, type `sheathe'.

canterbury caunterbury tales tome~
One of the books on the shelves catches your eye. You read the golden letters
on the spine and discover that it is a copy of ``The Canterbury Tales''. It
begins...
Here bygynneth the Book of the Tales of Caunterbury.
Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his half cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye
(So priketh hem nature in hir corages),
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

city goal. The walls are smooth and polished. The floor is constructed from

valuable cargoes and information. At the mouth of the bay, you see the Lamman

north with dirty windows, and peeling paint. Its handpainted sign had faded
long ago, but you can still barely make out some of the lettering. Palace
Lane and the parade ground lies to the east.

Harbour Road~
The flagstones of Harbour Road are disfigured by small pocks and nicks.
The result of the salty sea water spraying up as waves crash against the
stone breakers. As you look south, you see the entire harbour before you
hundreds of ships are anchored awaiting the following morn to set sail on
their seabourn voyages. The road leads on to the east past some rickety
shops and west toward a red bridge.

Palace Lane~
Extending far above you to the east lies the impressive stone wall
that surrounds the palace. The masonry is smooth and cool to the touch

stone. The lane to the north turns west here and becomes somewhat wider

long time ago, but has long since deteriorated with the passage of time. Lush
green ivy now grow on the wall, their spindly tendrils anchored in place into
minute cracks in the surface.%3 Looking closely, the cracks seem to form a
small archway, with the contour meandering around the sharp edges of stones.%

unloading ships nearby. The bridge extends east further across the river to

looking boats and people in one place. The harbour area is notoriously rough,
the city watch usually maintains only a token presence to quell major riots.
To aid the one unfamiliar with this part of the city, a beautiful granite map
stone has been embedded into the ground here. If you're wandering around here,
you had better watch your back, and not to get lost. Lime street runs north
from here into the dwarven section of town.

Durrin's Weapon Reapair Shop~
Everyone knows that dwarves make the best blacksmiths, something to do with
surface area to volume ratios or some such thing. To be sure, in Lamman the
blacksmiths are all dwarves. No one is sure exactly how this came to be, but
some time ago a few trolls tried to set up a rival smithy in the heart of the
Troll Quarter. Rumor has it there was an accident one night, and they were
found melted down in their own forge the next morning.
Durrin can usually be found here in his shop. As the official blacksmith
of Lamman, he turns a tidy profit repairing weapons and crafting arms for the
King. When not too busy, he makes a bit of spare coin on the side repairing
weapons for adventurers.

The Quay~
You are standing at the western end of the Lamman City Quay. To the north
you can see the Great Western Road which leads west to the West gate and
ultimately to parts unknown. To the south you can see another berth for a
ship and to the west you can see Winkle Lane. A small granite map stone has
been embedded into the ground here.

The Storyteller's Circle~
You are standing in the entrance to the Bard's Guild. Until recently
The Bards Guild was retained exclusively by the King. Now, however, they
are free to give lessons to one and all.

The Music Room~
All around you, you can see musical instrument of all shapes and
sizes. The master bard is standing in the corner restringing an elderly
lute. He stares intently at the strings, seeming to caress them with his
gaze. He doesn't seem to have noticed you, perhaps you should cough or
something.

The Great Western Road~
This is the start of the Great Western Road. To the west lies the
West Gate of the City of Lamman and beyond that miles of desolate waste
land, a haven for bandits, pirates and criminals of every discription.
To the south lies the relative safety of the Lamman City Quay.

The Great Western Road~
The Great Western Road runs east-west here. To the south you can see the
western outpost of the city watch, the building seems to be more neglected
and run down than the other watch houses. To the north a road leads into
the troll ghetto.

The West Gate~
You are standing at the west gate of the City of Lamman. To the
west the road extends into a bleak wilderness and it there are many
leagues of bandit infested territory between here and the next town.
The King would love to police the area, but it is just too big. So
beyond these gates you are on your own.

The Western Watch House~
This watch house is not as big as the others, nor anywhere like
as tidy. This has a lot to do with who is in charge here, namely, Lance
Corporal Nobbs. Nobbs is not very houseproud, but at least the place is
free of vermin, I wonder why?

Courtyard Lane~
Your ears are filled with the resounding echoes of the clomping of horse
hooves and the stomping of adventurers' boots as you move along this narrow,
high-walled lane. Contributing to the reverberations is the important
looking marble facade of the Royal Post Office of Lamman, the entrance to
which can be gained by going north. Courtyard Lane continues to the east
toward the Market Square and west to the River Ronnan.

to catch a boat to anywhere.

A Gangplank~
The rickety woden ganplank sways alarmingly as you step on to it. The
sailors you can see dashing about seem not to notice however. You can
return north to the safety of the quay or continue on southward onto
the boat.

A Gangplank~
You are standing on a Gangplank. Hopefully one day, a captain will be
found brave enough to risk his ship to sail across the ocean to the fabled
land of Zanzibar. Unfortunately as of now, no captain has been persuaded
to take the dangerous voyage. Maybe someday... The only choice you have
is to return north, back to the quay.
