This quest requires the ability to look at extra descriptions. Don't know
what those are? Here is an example, probably the earliest newbies learn.


West Side of Tree of Knowledge
[Exits: north east south west]
   You enter the campsite of an old man named Nom.  He looks frail in his
robes, yet great power emanates from him.  Sitting with his back to a huge
spreading oak, he smiles at you and nods, encouraging you to draw near to
rest, sleep, list or heal.
   Behind him is the hollow of the tree, wherein resides all the knowledge
adventurers seek.  To the west is the meadow, teeming with wildlife.  Those
new to this land should explore to the east. A carved stone sits here.
     (Magical) A magical fountain of water is here.
(White Aura) An ageless shaman sits here smiling at you.

*look stone*

   Here is a small quest for you, tiny adventurer.  Within this meadow
is a golden hawk. The only one of its kind.  Kill it and gain a treasure you
will cherish for levels to come.



Extra descriptions provide the builder with an additional way of communciating
information without needing to create a whole seperate object. The drawback is
that the keyword must be matched perfectly. If the keyword is "apple", the player
MUST type "look apple", and cannot shorten the command.

An extra description can also produce its own extra description, if the builder
desires. The Royal Midgaard Library uses this function frequently.

For example, looking at the bookshelves in one room produces the title:
"Care and Feeding of Puff the fractal Dragon"

The player then types "look puff" and sees:
This book is definitely a fantasy. Puff does not eat.


If you are further confused, please remember to check the helpfile, as you
might find an answer there. Also, it is possible to "look direction" for more
information. The Brothers Grimm room is a famous example.

look west
A small sign says Exit from Home. The door is closed.

look east
A small sign says Hansel and Grethel. The door is closed.

look north
A small sign says Cinderella. The door is closed.

look south
A small sign says Rapunzel. The door is closed.

look up
A small sign says The Brave Tailor. The door is closed.

look down
A small sign says Snow White. The door is closed.


You might find that one of the questions requires you to look at
one of the directions!


P.S.: In 95% of the cases, if I use "", it means I am looking for
the exact phrase!

Good luck!
