Another round![spoiler]Clapping three times in the Secret Tunnel while it’s dark has no response at all on the third clap (not even a “You clap loudly.”)
Additionally, doing it once you have a light is missing a space after the ellipses in “You clap loudly…but nothing out of the ordinary happens.”
The first time I try to give an item to the just-summoned, not-yet-seraged adventurer now, I get them saying “Oh, hello, [playername]” brightly, followed by staring at me in terror. The same thing happens when they’re hostile in the caves.
When I order the seraged adventurer to give something to the librarian, I get no response at all, but they succeed in transferring the item.
Attempting to examine the buttons on the scroll dispenser when it’s not present produces messages like this: “The last time you saw the red button, it was .”
The snake in the Misty Cavern is described as “slithering across the rocks in front of the eastern passage”, but there’s no eastern passage there; the snake is guarding the passage down.
Following the adventurer after saying ‘yes’ to their request for help behaves weirdly. You can just hit enter to follow them, but if you enter a command, you’ll stop. A directional command that isn’t following the adventurer (like, say, ‘u’ right after saying ‘yes’) will get no reply and have no result, but will make you stop following them.
This is more of a suggestion for an easter egg or an alternate solution than a bug report, but I realized after following the adventurer that it made logical sense for me to send the bird down to investigate (even without a palantir, since I can talk to it.) Players who used the bird to solve the snake puzzle are likely to still have it following them at this point. Of course, the bird isn’t the most intelligent creature around, so its report might not be very useful (even assuming it understands what you want it to do), but it might be cool to have the bird report something on returning from the chasm. (Although if you want to send it down and then order it back separately, you need to either frotz it or give it a light source so you can see it in order to communicate with it.) Also, if nitfol wears off then the bird’s report might be less than useful.
The opposite window on the overlook has no description.
“throw [object] into chasm” gives the bizarre response of “That can’t contain things.” There’s a variety of reasons why a player might want to do this – throwing a palantir down in hopes of seeing the bottom, or throwing a frotzed piece of junk down when they see its description says that their light doesn’t penetrate. (Of course, there’s nothing to see, so I’m not sure how it would actually handle throwing a palantir down there… you can drop a palantir while hanging from the rope, anyway, and it falls and ends up destroyed / nowhere. They’re not invulnerable, perhaps, so if you throw or drop them into places like that, they might break and the corresponding palantir will then show nothing but darkness…)
The bird can be given objects, but can’t be ordered to ‘get’ small objects that it would be capable of receiving when given them.
I zifmiaed the bird to atop the dome. While there, I saw it hop to the sun, the Great Sea, the low hills, and the Borphee River. I would assume it can also hop to the moon.
(Bother, it occurs to me that there was probably a release where I could “lleps frotz sun”; now it just says that it’s too far away. That might be worth a humorous response, though.)
lleps izyuk bird doesn’t do anything special. I am pretty sure it had a special result in a previous version, so I assume it was broken somewhere.[/spoiler]
