You have played this game before! >use catapult You're shooting gems like a Duke Nukem on steroids. You hear a cheery melody and the text "You win, I loose!" is flashing before your eyes. You collect your prize, cheap cardboard glasses with plastic lenses, one red and the other one green. >wear glasses You look at the world in a whole new perspective! It's 2.5 or maybe even 3D! Niiiice.  Bernard

>place coins in fountain
You place all your scraggy loose change in the fountain. The fountain momentarily ceases to ripple, as if to contemplate your meagre offering. And then, a miraculous occurrence: a myriad of rainbows! a conglomerate of cumulus nimbus!
>I'm dazzled
Well, you should be. And then, from a fold in the Emerald City tapestry curtain, march 500 Oompah-Loompahs. They are dancing, and quite possibly drunk out of their skulls. They giggle and chortle and jiggle and wiggle, and seem to find you and your merry troupe extremely amusing.
>I think the Oompah-Loompahs took a wrong turning left of Cleveland.
Yes, but don't tell them that, they would get very upset. Besides, The Whizzer is quite entranced with them, they make excellent candy.
The tapestry curtain begins to draw apart, and you can see beyond into the grand halls of the palace....The Whizzer awaits you!

This is so interesting! It looks like you give have invented a new game: co-group-writing of an adventure story.
Perhaps a new thread with a plot hook to start with and do this thing write, err..right?
Just a suggestion from a small and little known boomer. *shuffles feet*

Excellent summary chrissie, -- what a motley crew.  Are we all resting a bit before the final push to meet The Whizzer? (I don't think the lion wants the crown back, actually. At this stage his motivation is somewhat hidden. It's possible he's just along for the ride out of sheer curiosity or because he finds it amusing to watch everyone else struggle.)

The lion emits a threatening roar. The shopkeeper gives you back the silver shoes.
>Inv
Beautiful handbag, pair of dangly earrings, silver shoes.
>Continue shopping.
Nearby shoppers (all dressed in green) stop to admire your purchases.
An official-looking young man who resembles Tweedle Dee from Alice in Wonderland (or perhaps he more closely resembles Tweedle Dum) approaches you. He is carrying a violin.
"Lord Ossccarrrrrrssss of the Dance!" he proclaims, looking at your mechanical friend. "You have finally returned!" He strikes up a catchy tune on the fiddle, and all the shoppers dressed in green drop their purchases, put their arms down at their sides, and begin a rousing Irish step dance routine. Lord Ossccarrrrrrssss outdances them all handily.
While the shoppers are busy, your companions sort through the shopping bags left unattended in the street, in case there is anything in them that can be of use when you confront The Whizzer.
