Beware, too many tunnels in a small cave can easily cause +it to collapse! The default cave room has three tunnels to other rooms. +.El +.Pp +While wandering through the cave you'll notice that, while there are tunnels +everywhere, there are some mysterious quirks to the cave topology, including +some tunnels that go from one room to another, but not necessarily back! +Also, most pesky of all are the rooms that are home to large numbers of bats, +which, upon being disturbed, will en masse grab you and move you to another +portion of the cave (including those housing bottomless pits, sure +death for unwary explorers). +.Pp +Fortunately, you're not going into the cave without any weapons or tools, +and in fact your biggest aids are your senses; you can often smell the +rather odiferous Wumpus up to +.Em two +rooms away, and you can always feel the drafts created by the occasional +bottomless pit and hear the rustle of the bats in caves they might be +sleeping within. +.Pp +To kill the wumpus, you'll need to shoot it with one of your magic arrows. +Fortunately, you don't have to be in the same room as the creature, and can +instead shoot the arrow from as far as three or four rooms away! +.Pp +When you shoot an arrow, you do so by typing in a list of rooms that you'd +like it to travel to. If at any point in its travels it cannot find a +tunnel to the room you specify from the room it's in, it will instead +randomly fly down one of the tunnels, possibly, if you're real unlucky, +even flying back into the room you're in and hitting you! |
