You think aloud: "What a beautiful day it is!" The perfect day for [[an adventure!]]

Someone approaches... Why it's your old friend Bolderdof! "Well met!" <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/wizard.jpg" /> Are you up for a quest? [[Yes!|Yes]] [[No|die]]

"Let me tell you my tale..." <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00724.JPG" /> "The evil Dray Elves are searching for the Magical Seeds of Banely. With the Seeds in their hands they could hold great power over the world! But we are one step ahead of them! They don't know where the Seeds are - No! But I do! "I need you to travel to the Sacred Lake - The Water Guardian will give the Seeds to you in return for something made from silver..." You nod Bolderdof. You say: "I will be on my way then..." You pack your bags and [[start your adventure.|crossroad]]

<<audio death play>> <<audio wind stop>> <<audio birds stop>> <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/death.jpg" /> NO! Your enemies crawl at you and drag you down into the underworld!!! Maybe [[try again ?|Enter]]

It is a hectic bustling place full of busy people. There is a gate that leads east out into the [[open country.|middle road 1]] To the north you see the renown Clean Barrel Inn, famous for its fine brews. You decide to pay it a [[visit.|inn]]

You enter the refined inn known locally as the Clean Barrel. A marvellous place! Your old friend Smith serves behind the bar. He says: "Welcome! Can I fetch you an ale?" Do you want to [[leave?|town]] Or do you want to ask the innkeeper something? You have something to say to the innkeeper: <<textbox "$name" "">> [[So you ask him.|inn response]]

<<if $name is "books">>Ah yes! Interesting topic indeed. You should read The Legend of Rudwin if you ever get a chance. There is a sequal in the works called The Trials of Rudwin. While you are at it punch in this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/-/e/B00DF31274 And have a read of some of the books you'll there! Best wishes! [[Go back.|inn]] <<else>>...hmm, I can't help you with that sort of thing, sir! [[Go back.|inn]] <</if>>

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/uncles%20castle.png" /> You stand before the ancient tower of Fornador. It is an old, proud and magestic building - home to ghosts and the ancient book of the elders... A voice speaks to you! "Do you have the seeds?" <<if $hasseeds is true>> You place the Seeds before the tower door. The door opens, and the elder, a man formed out of shadow, walks out. He takes the Seeds. "These will be safe with me! Thank you - hero! You have done more than well! You have my blessings for by your actions we have preserved the the natural order!" [[The elder vanishes and the tower door closes.|win]] <<else>> You reply: "I do not have them!" There is no response. [[You return to the road.|middle road 1]] <</if>>

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00724.JPG" /> Congratulations! You have brought the Seeds home! As you turn away from the tower, your old friend Bolderdof appears and pats you on the shoulder. He says to you: "Well done my friend!" He follows you on the return journey home. Back home again you pour yourself and your friend a cup of tea. "Strange world we live in when all our fates hang in the balance of two seeds!" Bolderdof hears you and laughs! "Nothing surprises me anymore," he replied. "We're all just crazy things going around a crazy world!" You had to agree with him. "And there is nothing wrong with that!" THE END

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00729.JPG" /> You approach a vast, haughty oak tree with great limbs reaching up into the sky. There are three spirits hovering around the roots of the tree like mist; when they see you they start a dance and then vanish into the tree... Then the tree speaks: "What is the word!" Say the word: <<textbox "$name" "">> [[So thou speak the word.|tree response]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/26610045_10215783383404455_1733826150_o.jpg" /> You see a great beautiful lake! What a sight! It is like a giant mirror upon which the whole sky can look down, and smile, and see itself in its entirety. A deep voice from within the lake speaks... "Dost thou have a gift for me?" <<if $hassilverspear is true>> You cast the Silver Spear into the lake! The Lake thanks you, and a great shimmering hand rises from the water and places to spherical objects upon the shore - you know what these are. The Seeds! You grab them! <<set $hasseeds to true>> Your quest is at an end! [[You return to the road.|middle road 3]] <<else>> With nothing to give you return to the road. [[Such a shame!|middle road 1]] <</if>>

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/goblins.jpg" /> You see a vile goblin blocking your way across the bridge! He says to you: "None shall pass without paying the toll!" <<if $hascoin is true>> Reluctantly you hand the goblin the golden coin in your pocket, and he finally let's you pass. [[Darn thieving goblin!|town]] <<else>> You have nothing to give! The goblin doesn't care! "None shall pass!" With nothing to give you have to turn back! Such a shame! [[Darn it!|crossroad]] <</if>>

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00713.JPG" /> You take the southern road and enter the dark forest. The vast fir trees grow right over the road, so it is like you are walking along a path that tiwsts and turns through an eternal twilight. There is no going back... The path is eaten up by the tree roots behind you. You can only go on. Then you hear the snapping of wood - and several doves take flight, startling you. Then you see him - The Green Archer! He knocks an arrow and aims at you! Terrified you have to think fast! You decide to: Leave the path and head [[into the trees.|chased]] Or [[stick to the southern path|saved]] and hope to lose the fiend!

The Green Archer just won't give up! He's practically on your heels... "It's the end! The End! He's going to get me!" Then you see the warrior! <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/warrior.jpg" /> He cuts the Green Archer down with one might stroke! The chase is over. The Warrior introduces himself. 'I am Sir Woodwick! Remember me!' You thank him and he says to you, "No problem, friend, but you owe me!" With the road clear of foes you [[press on to the village.|gates]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/20180414175437_1.jpg" /> You stand in the safety of the village of Tor. It is a quiet village. There are very few people about, and the people you do see eye you with suspicion. You get the feeling that the people here do not take kindly to strangers! You look around and decide to: [[Visit the tavern to have a drink]] [[Visit the bakery]] [[Visit the local shop]] [[Visit the blacksmith]] [[Continue your journey and leave through the Southern Gate|the path splits]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Alrax%20b%204.png" /> Outside the village you find yourself in a peaceful meadow. The dark forest is behind you, but you know in your heart there is still danger out there, and vital decisions still to be made before you reach the end of your quest. Right now you have a dilemma... The path you have been following splits north and east. Where should you go? [[North.|jester]] [[East.|swamp]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00709.JPG" /> You walk down a down a green slope and when you reach the bottom the landscape immediately changes. The smell of fetid vegitation attacks your nostrils at once! It's overhwelmingly terrible! You are now in a swamp! There are no clear paths and you are not too sure where to go... Maybe keep going east? But you can see a giant six foot long killer swamp slug guarding the way... Meanwhile to the south a strange wild man in a mask waves you over. He speaks to you, "Follow me!" You decide to: [[Face the slug...]] [[Follow the wild man...]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/The%20jester%201.jpg" /> You see a jester sitting on a tree stump on the side of the road. He tells you that his name is Custard. "I am Custard the Jester! Please help me!" He asks you to help him fell the mightiest tree in the forest. [[You agree|jester dies]] [[You say no]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Woodwick%201.png" /> You meet the great warrior, Sir Woodwick, again. He is taking a nap under a tree. When he sees you he stands up. <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/warrior.jpg" /> "Friend! You owe me a favour! Help me to slay the magical Beast of Twyning!" [[You agree to follow him!]]

You sit down to rest for a while. As you rest you see an old tree stump. <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Alrax%20b%202.png" /> Someone has written on the stump. You read this word: "miner" Hmm. You think this is strange. There is something about that word! You think it is important. If you had a pen or pepper you would write it down, but you don't so you will just have to remember it! Just at that minute a friendly farmer with a horse and cart passes by. He tells you that he is on his way to town and offers to give you a lift! Gratefull you accept [[and jump on the back of the cart.|middle road 2]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Alrax%20b%2011.png" /> You find yourself standing in the middle of the old crossroad. Paths go [[east.|on the way to the bridge]] And [[south.|wishing well]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/26613450_10215783361043896_1194980378_o.jpg" /> The mighty River Arag flows before you! It beautiful silver body shimemrs in the sunlight. You could settle down here for a picnic easily but nay - alas - you have a quest to complete. I shall [[press on!|goblin]] Actually... Maybe I will [[head back...|crossroad]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00716.JPG" /> You plod along by the ways of the forest for many hours. Eventually you find the wishing well. Not far away you see a little imp starring at you from out of the trees. The pesky thing knows he has been seen - and he jumps down the wishing well! You decided to [[jump down after him...|coin]] Actually it might be better to turn back - you can never trust [[those pesky imps.|crossroad]]

<<set $hascoin to true>> <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/tunnels.jpg" /> So you jump down the well! There is quite a drop but luckily your fall is soften by a pool of slime! At the bottom of the well you see a beautiful shiny gold coin... You decide you can't just leave the pretty thing there so you pick it up and place it in your pocket! You might be covered in mud but at least you are a tiny bit richer now! There is a tunnel in front of you. Have no choice you [[follow it.]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/tunnels.jpg" /> You walk along the tunnel for what seems an age... The further along you go, the darker it grows... You don't want to admit it but you don't know where you are going... Eventually, through exhaustion, you trip into a pit of thick mud... [[O no!|die]]

The imp leads you along the ways of the tunnel, to a secret passage veiled in sorcery... The passage opens at his command, and you follow a set of steps that lead right back upto the surface. <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00715.JPG" /> Back in the forest you thank the imp or his help. The imp says: "I help you now you help me!" O YES? "Help me to slay the legendary Beast of Sarzil!" [[Of course!|agree to fight the beast]] [[Do I look like I have a handle sticking out of my back? No Way!|run away]]

You flee through the forest, following no track or road, you quickly get lost - but the imp knows the trees of the forest better than you. He soon catches up with you... And now he is no longer alone! Twenty other imps surround you! Overpowered, they tie you to a spit, and start to light a fire beneath you! "...And for the main course... O yes! WE'RE GOING TO BE EATING YOU!!" Just then there is a flash of light and all the imps flee in terror! Suddenly you see your old friend Bolderdof standing there. It's so good to see him again! <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/wizard.jpg" /> [[He cuts you free and leads you back to the bridge.|on the way to the bridge 2]]

You agree to fight the Beast of Sarzil. The imp hands you a great sword. It is heavy to weild. You take a deep breath. Okay. This has to be done. The imps says to you: "The beast has terrorised our village for years! Please! You must kill it so that we can be free from its wicked ways!" You rest the great blade upon your shoulder and nod your head. [["Lead the way!"|slay the beast!]]

The imp leads you to a cave. "The is where the beast lives," he tells you. You wait with baited breath. Finally the beast arrives... You ready yourself... And then you see - <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Chicken.jpg" /> A chicken!!?? Okay. Time to fight. With two mighty strokes of your great sword you slay the dreaded chicken beast! The imp thanks you and [[leads you back to the bridge.|on the way to the bridge 2]]

The village guards appear from out of nowhere! Outnumbered they quickly overwhelm you! [[You try to fight back...|die]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Alrax%20b%209.png" /> You are standing outside the town. Paths lead south - into a [[dark forest...|south]] There are also paths leading [[north.|tower]] And [[east.|tree]] The path west leads back to [[town]].

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Alrax%20b%209.png" /> You are standing outside the town. Paths lead [[east.|tree2]] Hope you remember the word written on the tree stump!

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Alrax%20b%209.png" /> You are standing outside the town. Paths lead [[north|tower]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/tunnels.jpg" /> As you walk along the tunnel you see the imp again! "Follow me!" he says. You don't know whether to trust him or not... You decide to: [[Find my own way out.|get lost die]] [[Trust and follow the imp.|follow imp]]

<<if $name is "miner">>That is the correct word! Here is the way to the great lake! <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/26613450_10215783361043896_1194980378_o.jpg" /> [[Excellent!|lake]] <<else>>Be off with you pretender! [[Return|middle road 1]] <</if>>

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00715.JPG" /> You run through the forest - your legs going like a pair of crazy clappers! But the Green Archer will not leave you be. The fiend follows you - gliding through the forest like mist! Finally he makes his final move, and raises his bow! One shot, truly aimed, pierces your heart! You scream in pain - [[This is the end!|die]]

<<if $name is "miner">>That is the correct word! Here is the way to the great lake! <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/26613450_10215783361043896_1194980378_o.jpg" /> [[Excellent!|lake 2]] <<else>>That's it! We have run out of patience with you! Be thou damned! [[O No!|die]] <</if>>

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/20180414175724_1.jpg" /> The village of Tor has a wall to protect itself from the dangers of the forest. As you approach the gate the guard in the tower calls down to you: "Hail stranger! What is your business here?" You reply: "Well met! I am humble traveller seeking adventure in the lands beyond this village. Please let through the gates, for the forest is dangerous and I have already been attacked by an armed rogue!" The guard opens the gate and let's you in. As you pass through he says to you: "Be on your best behaviour stranger! We don't tolerate trouble makers in our village!" You tell him you understand and [[pass through.|village]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/20180602224921_1.jpg" /> You enter the tavern. What a cheery splendid place! A fire is burning in a large hearthstone in the corner, and a stuffed troll-head hangs above the bar. The tavern master nods you. "What can I get you sir?" [[You buy a drink and leave|village]] [[You jump over the bar and punch him in the face!|guards arrest you]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/20180602224921_1.jpg" /> You enter the local bakery. What a lovely wholesome place. The air is full of the smell of freshly baked bread! The owner of the bakery approaches you with a smile! "How can I help you my friend? Fancy some fresh bread for the road?" You decide to: [[Punch him in the face and steal his goods...|guards arrest you]] [[Buy some bread and leave.|village]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/20180602224921_1.jpg" /> You visit the local shop. It's full of odds and ends and bricker brac. An interesting little place indeed! The shopkeeper notices you from across the counter. He says to you: "If you're not going to buy anything please leave! It's almost my lunch break!" You hear him and decide to: [[Kill him and trash up his shop...|guards arrest you]] [[Tell him your leaving and go back through the door again.|village]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/20180602224921_1.jpg" /> You enter the localy smithy. Darn! It's hot in here. You see the blacksmith, a vast man gleaming with sweat hammering away at stone steal. He is hard at work and does not seem to be in any mood for conversation. You decide to: [[attack the man...|guards arrest you]] [[Respectfully leave the blacksmith to his work.|village]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Alrax%20b%203.png" /> The slug is vast, but you find a stray tree log and from their you are able to jump over the oozy monster! You are soon on your way again. After a few strides you find yourself free of the swamps... [[Thank goodness!|sir woodwick]]

"You made a wise decision!" says the wild man. You follow the wild man through a dank and wild forest of pines and firs. <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00715.JPG" /> Then he leads into a forest of giant mushrooms! Because you have found a way out of the swamp you think you are safe - but then the wild man scratches you with a dagger! You [[fall asleep...]]

When you wake up you are stuck up to your neck in water! ...AND IT'S GETTING HOT! Then you realise that you are in a cauldron - and the wild man is setting up a fire beneath you! But just then - at the last minute the wild man drops down... There is an arrow sticking out of his back... A hunter approaches. He helps you out of the cauldron... He says: "Follow me!" You decide to: [[Cause a commotion by pushing the cauldron then make a run for it...]] [[Follow the hunter...]]

You flee! Thankfully you find the eastern road again and [[follow it.|sir woodwick]] <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/DSC00715.JPG" />

The hunter leads the way into a clearing. A wooden cabin sits in the middle of the clearing. He says to you: 'This is where I live. Come inside and rest for a while before you continue your journey!' All seems to be going well! You have made a new friend... But when you enter the cabin the hunter grabs you by the throat - you can't break free from his mighty grip! He smiles evilly at you... "You shall be my next meal!" [[You try to fight back...|die]]

The jester takes a tiny axe and starts to slice at a giant oak tree! You tell him that is not the way to do it. He needs to take swings at the tree. The jester does so - for several hours. Then after a while the tree comes hurtling down and falls right on top of the jester - crushing him clean to death! "Silly fool! How I shall remember thou Custard - king among idiots!" [[You move on!|sir woodwick]]

The jester throws a pouch containing strange glittering powder at your eyes! You feel suddenly nauseous... "Help me!" You collapse on your face... When you wake up you find yourself in the middle of a goblin cave!!! The goblins move in, clawing at you... <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/goblins.jpg" /> [[You fight back...|die]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/warrior.jpg" /> You see the Beast of Twyning slithering atween the tree trunks... Wait... Is that human legs you see underneath it? Why it's just three men in a stupid costume! Ha! "You can't be serious?" You tell Sir Woodwick he is mad - he tells you if you help him he has a reward for you! So you decide to... [[Help him...]] [[Walk away...|word]]

<<set $hassilverspear to true>> <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/Woodwick%201.png" /> You chase the stupid monster around until Sir Woodwick gives up and collpases with exhaustion under another tree... "Here have this!" He gives you a beautiful Silver Spear! "Thank you!" You leave the great warrior and [[continue on your road.|word]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/26610045_10215783383404455_1733826150_o.jpg" /> You see a great beautiful lake! What a sight! It is like a giant mirror upon which the whole sky can look down, and smile, and see itself in its entirety. A deep voice from within the lake speaks... "Dost thou have a gift for me?" <<if $hassilverspear is true>> You cast the Silver Spear into the lake! The Lake thanks you, and a great shimmering hand rises from the water and places two spherical objects upon the shore - you know what these are. The Seeds! You grab them! <<set $hasseeds to true>> Your quest is at an end! [[You return to the road.|middle road 3]] <<else>> With nothing to give you return to the road. Then out of nowhere you are ambushed by ravenous goblins! <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/goblins.jpg" /> [[No!|die]] <</if>>
