<<set $haskey to false>> <<audio wind loop play>> <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/wood%201%20.jpg" /> Wandering the forests of Wigun you spot a mushroom ring. How quaint! You feel a rumbling in your stomach. What do you do? [[I am famished I will eat the mushrooms...]] ...Or ... NAY! Better not! And [[continue on your road.]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/wood%204.jpg" /> Why my! What succulent mushrooms! Very beautiful indeed! Now to continue on the road... O my!!!!!!! You feel horribly wheezy... You fall down at the foot of a great oak tree nad pass into dreams... In one dream you see a door and pit... You look and them and think for a while. [[I will try the door...]] No! [[Let's jump down the pit!]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/wood%202.jpg" /> You continue along the forest road. You remember your mission! You must deliver the message to Ale Seller in the Old House. It all seemes to be going well - untill you see a body lying on the road. You investigate and find the body of a dead man. The Ale Seller! Slain! You see a trail of blood going one way. Maybe you should [[follow them?]] Or maybe [[keep going]] and find the Ale Sellers house and speak to his relatives?

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/door.jpg" /> It was a door of bright light. You touch the handle and it melts into water in your hand! You push against the glowing green and red frame, and it explodes into bright light. Now there is a passage in front of you - it seemes to be going down into a cave. [[I better follow it...]] OR maybe I should have just jumped down that pit! Let's jump! [[Ahhhhhh!!!!|Let's jump down the pit!]]

[[You fall...]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/tunnels.jpg" /> You enter the cave tunnel. The entrance behind you seals up... NO way back then! You have no choice but to [[walk on!]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/tunnels.jpg" /> The tunnel will not end! You feel like you made a masssive mistake! BUT [[I should press on...|walk on!]] NO! [[I will cry of help!]]

You feel like a fool... You feel like it is all hopeless... But you do it anyway! You cry for help! You hear a creaking - like a door has been opened... Then a voice speaks... "Hello there" - [[Welcome!]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/The%20jester%201.jpg" /> The Jester appears... He smiles at you - but you can't tell whether he is friendly or not... You ask him, "Who are you?" He throws the same question right back! He disapears to one side, through a secret shadowy exit. You don't know whether to [[follow]] him... [[Or turn back...|walk on!]]

<<audio wind stop>> <<audio death play>> <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/death.jpg" /> The trees grow around you thick and fast - you can no longer go through them because they grow so tight together... You try to turn back, and then a shadowy figure appears before you. The figure speaks: 'You were a fool to go this way!' You are slain!!! DEAD Maybe [[try again ?|Witches Brew! Will you eat the Wtiches Brew??]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/AS%20house.jpg" /> You finally find the Ale Sellers house. The building looks ominous... abandoned... What has happened to the place? You don't know whether to follow the [[trail of blood|follow them?]] OR... [[Enter the house...]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/ragged%20tree.jpg" /> The house... It's empty... You see two doors... Both could lead anywhere. A voice says 'go left...' You listen to the voice and go [[left]] ...Then hesitate - and decide you would rather be daring and go [[right...|die]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/The%20jester%202.jpg" /> You find yourself in the jesters chamber... He is drinking from a great dark cup! 'Drink from thy cup!' says the jester... [["Never!!!"|die]] you cry... Actually on second thoughts I will [[try a sip...]]

<<audio wind stop>> <<audio death play>> <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 ?|Witches Brew! Will you eat the Wtiches Brew??]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/The%20jester%201.jpg" /> The jester smiles... He always smiles 'Good man he says.' Then he asks - what do you see? You stammer, and chock on your worn words - the liquid you have just quenched burns through your body - your whole being becomes aflame! Then you see something... 'I...I see the words... <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/quick%20frog.jpg" /> The Jester smiles [[again]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/witch.jpg" /> You enter a dark room. Suddenly a candle flickers alight. You see a putrid hag sat behind the table. Her foulness fills the whole room - and strikes your heart with dismay! She laughs at the terror in your face! She takes pleasure in your horror! You cry aloud - 'What do you want from me hag!?' She says - 'I have been brewing a wonderful broth!' she says to you. I want you to try it!' You decide to [[give it a go...|give it a go]] On the other hand maybe it would be better to [[walk away...|die]]

The hag smiles... She approves of your actions. 'Sup now at my broth,' she says. 'Sup freely! Enjoy!' The brew is beautiful. You can now see beautiful things - beautiful worlds open up in your mind! You want to eat more! But the hag holds you back... You are not ready Finally she speaks to you: 'Speak the words!' she says. 'Give me the words and you can continue to drink and your dreams will be yours!' GIVE ME THE WORD: <<textbox "$name" "">> [[SPEAK IT!!!]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/chestnut2.jpg" /> <<audio birds loop play>> You escape the jail and find yourself outside again walking freely under a beautiful starry sky! You feel tired and lie down to sleep. It feels so wonderful to be free of the caves! When the sun returns you awaken at the foot of a beautiful horse-chestnut tree. You remember your mission... To bring the message to the Ale Seller. The Ale Seller greets you at the end of the road, and asks what took you so long... You say to him that you don't know what happened - 'But my gosh what a weird dream I had!' Then you feel the metal pick in your pocket... The Ale Seller asks if you are feeling alright. You say to him, 'My friend! Be careful where you tred on the forest road. Never eat mushrooms and never drink from the witches brew!' He laughs, invites you in for a drink, and you spend the rest of the day in mirth! THE END

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/The%20jester%202.jpg" /> 'Very good!' says the jester. [['Now be on your way!']]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/wood%201%20.jpg" /> You awaken at the foot of the oak tree where you stopped to eat the mushrooms. You rub your eyes and yawn and know that you must [[keep going!|continue on your road.]]

<<if $name is "quick frog">>That is the correct word! [[Follow me!]] <<else>>...hmm, I am not amused! You know [[nothing!|die]] <</if>> <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/ragged%20tree.jpg" />

Well done! 'You are doing well,' says the hag. 'I am pleased with you! But you have a little while to go before you can learn to live in your dreams.' Your mind is hazy. You find it hard to think. But you trust the hag. She has shown you so many things ... so many visions ... her brew is divine! You want MORE!!!! 'Not yet!' says the hag. 'What do you want the most in life?' She puts two cards on the table. One says [[WEALTH]] the other says [[TRUTH]] You chose...

[[...and fall...]]

[[...and keep falling...]]

[[...will it end ??]]

[[... the ground! I see the ground... O no!!!!!!!!]]

<<audio wind stop>> <<audio death play>> <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/pit%20monsters.jpg" /> [[Try again ? |Witches Brew! Will you eat the Wtiches Brew??]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/face%202.jpg" /> The hag stares at you with her eyes - eyes that look into stars - into galaxies - into darkness and beyond... 'What can you do with wealth beyond the grave?' she says. Everything in the room goes quiet. Then she speaks up, breaking the silence, 'You chose the card.' She grins. Her sharp teeth scare you. 'This is what you wanted,' her words leave you standing in confusion, and then she adds - 'You will get what you want! Pick up the card...' you [[take|die]] the card.

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/buzz%20buzz.jpg" /> You say to the hag, 'I want to know more about myself...' She smiles. She likes your response. 'You are a true human,' she says. 'What I mean is - you are a true traveller. For all humans are a travellers. Had you chosen wealth you would have chosen stagnation. That is stagnation of the spirit. You would go nowhere, but stay transfixed with your wealth until death. You would learn NOTHING of life. But you chose the truth, and so you shall have it. The truth of life and YOU... [[ENJOY]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/wood%203.jpg" /> ... You see stars - you see planets orbiting vast blue suns with rings of yellow and red ice ... you see dragons with wings of fire, towers made of flesh and blood, and steps made of bones leading up into bright lights, into some kind of afterlife - a beautiful angel with hair strung with a thousand stars smiles at you, and says, 'Not yet!' and sends you back to the earth. You fall asleep and the the vision [[ends.]]

<<set $haskey to true>> You decide to take the metal pick and put it into your pokcet. Excellent! Now back to [[business|keep going...]]

<<if $haskey is true>> You wake up to find yourself stuck in jail. It's cold. It's damp. It's horrible. Rats are nibbling at your toes. There is a great solid wooden door in front of you. <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/door.jpg" /> It is locked. How will you open it? Then you remember the metal pick you put in your pocket earlier! After some fiddling, the lock clicks and the door finally [[opens!|Good Ending]] <<else>> <video src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/jester%20turn.mp4" width="640" height="480" autoplay></video> You wake up to find yourself stuck in jail. It's cold. It's damp. It's horrible. Rats are nibbling at your toes. There is a great solid wooden door in front of you. It is locked. How will you open it? You scratch your head. Hours pass. You realise you will never be able to open the door. You know you are doomed unless someone rescues you. And what chance is there of that happening? Suddenly you hear someone unlock the door - the jester enters the room. You see that he is holding a knife. He says to you: 'Game over, my friend. We've had some fun together but now the game must [[end|die]] <</if>>

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/The%20jester%202.jpg" /> You awaken and find that you are back in the jesters cave. there are two tunnels - one to the north and one to the south. The north tunnel is full of darkness, but in the south tunnel you hear the sound of some large animal breathing. You say to yourself - 'I will take the risk and go [[south]]...' On the other hand - maybe it would be better to take the [[north]] tunnel...-

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/tunnels.jpg" /> You follow the tunnel south. You can hear the heavy breathing of some large creature ahead of you. You are terrified! You see two tunnels now. One goes [[east]] the other branches [[west]]...

The north tunnel is full of darkness. You cannot see where you are going. You have to feel along the walls... You fumble along, regretting your decision to use this tunnel - but you can't go back. You have to keep crawling on and on... Then you hear something - it is laughter... the cackle of the hag! You feel like she is watching you, laughing at you, mocking your miserable prediciment. Lost in the dark! What will you do... Must [[keep going...]] NO! I'll turn [[back|die]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/tunnels.jpg" /> You find light! A fire is burning in a great hearth! Wonderful! You are glad now that you kept on going. You are in a small room, with a table and chair. You guess it was somebodies office at some time. There is a door to the west. You might as well use it - there is nowhere else to go... Then you see something on the table...A sharp metal [[pick.|Take Key]] Time to head through the [[door.]]

You find yourself in another tunnel. Great! Just what you wanted... more tunnels to get lost in! You walk and walk, and it grows dark and darker... Your head floods with negative thoughts. 'Will I ever get out of this place? There just seemes no end to it... Just tunnel after tunnel... and the darkness makes me sick! O what I wouldn't do just for the sight of the sun again!' Suddenly the jester appears before you! <img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/The%20jester%201.jpg" /> He is smiling... He always smiles. He says, 'Going somewhere, fool?' Before you can do anything he throws a handful of sparkly dust into your eyes. You start to wheeze... and then [[fall asleep|final good or bad]]

<img src="https://swwproductionsassets.yolasite.com/resources/tunnels.jpg" /> You take the east tunnel. There are burning brands stuck into the wall. In the firelight you see a huge shadow move from one side to the other. You hug the wall, and try to calm yourself... What do you do? [[Go back|south]] Or [[keep going??]]

The west tunnel is full of darkness. You cannot see where you are going. You have to feel along the walls... You fumble along, regretting your decision to use this tunnel - but you can't go back. You have to keep crawling on and on... Then you hear something - it is laughter... the cackle of the hag! You feel like she is watching you, laughing at you, mocking your miserable prediciment. Lost in the dark! What will you do... Must [[keep going...]] NO! I'll turn [[back|south]]

So you keep going. Suddenly a huge troll steps out of the gloom! You see its bloodshot eyes. It smiles a big toothy grin. You can smell its fetid breath! Frozen with fear the vast monster grabs you with its great hands, and starts to crush you! You can feel your bones breaking ... you hear them literally snapping! It is the worst thing! You scream at the top of your lungs: [[Help me!!!|die]]
