"Behind you!" cries the Princess. "It's a trap!"
Too late. The drawbridge crashes shut against the tower wall. You turn to face your enemy, and find yourself staring into the open maw of Thermofax.
Only your Magick sword can save you now. You swing it high, speak the Word and stand unhurt as the blade absorbs the searing dragon breath.
The reptile bellows with rage and flaps its wings to fan the fire in its belly. You are advancing, sword poised to strike, when a familiar voice shatters the daydream and stays your mighty hand...

Hilltop
You're on a hilltop overlooking the seaside village of Festeron.
To the south stands the Festeron Post Office. It's a little brick building with a neatly trimmed lawn. The Post Office door stands invitingly open.
Roads run down the hill to the east and west. There's a signpost nearby.

>go to post office
Post Office
This is the lobby of the Festeron Post Office. The walls are lined with small, private mailboxes and wanted posters. A service counter runs along the entire length of the room.
Your boss, Mr. Crisp, is behind the service counter reading other people's postcards.
Mr. Crisp hides the postcards away as you enter. "Where have you been?" he barks angrily. "Daydreaming again, eh? I've been looking everywhere for you!"

Your boss, Mr. Crisp, is watching you impatiently.
Mr. Crisp reaches under the service counter and pulls out a mysterious envelope. "We just got this Special Delivery," he snarls, tossing it onto the service counter. "I want you to drop it off right away. That means NOW!"

>go east
Outside Cottage
You're outside the cottage of Miss Voss, the town librarian. The road turns north toward the village, and bends upward to the summit of Post Office Hill.
As you approach the cottage you are greeted by the tiniest poodle you've ever seen in your entire life. It charges across the street, yapping angrily and showing its sharp little teeth.

The gravedigger winks at you slyly.
The gravedigger notices the mysterious envelope you're holding. "That's a mighty mysterious-lookin' envelope you got there," he says. "Let's have a look at it."

>walk west
Twilight Glen
The trees here are so thick, it's almost too dark to see! You can make out an open iron gate to the north, and a narrow lane between the tombstones winds off to the east.
There must have been a burial here recently. Somebody left their umbrella leaning up against a tombstone.
The gravedigger follows behind you. "What's your hurry?" he complains.
Throwing a shovel over his shoulder, the gravedigger ambles through the iron gate and locks it. "Keep out of the cemetery after Dark," he tells you with a sly wink.
You can hear him chuckling as he disappears to the north.

>look tombstone
[Presumably, you mean LOOK AT the tombstone, not LOOK INSIDE or LOOK ON or LOOK UNDER or LOOK BEHIND the tombstone.]
The tombstone next to the open grave is blank.

Taken.
[Your score just went up by 5 points! Your total score is 6 out of 100.]
Mr. Crisp drums his fingers on the service counter impatiently. "Get moving! The Magick Shoppe closes at five o'clock!"

The gravedigger peers at the address on the mysterious envelope. "Hmm," he mutters, handing it back to you. "Could've sworn I buried that old woman years ago."
[You are again holding the mysterious envelope.]
"Couldn't ask for a nicer day for diggin' graves."
[You won't see the "What next?" prompt any more.]
