> go North You see a village hidden between the trees, there are six grues here. They are dressed in different outfits. A cowboy, an Indian, a police officer,a construction worker, a military man and the last one wears a leather outfit. They are singing about young grues staying somewhere and having fun. Oh no, they are The Village Grues! You don't want to walk this way, so you return to the crossroads.  Bernard

>wave to the one wearing the leather before you leave
Oh, just stop that.
>go East
You go East. The woods are becoming denser, the path becoming narrower. The branches overhang and converge, making it impossible to progress.
>use pocket sword on branches
You cut through the branches. The dirt path has brushed aside to reveal a winding, curling path of yellow bricks. In the far distance you can see a castle with many turrets. Should we follow the yellow brick road?
>why not
A little enthusiasm, please, otherwise I shall force you to sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow
>Yes, let's please follow the yellow brick road!!
You follow the yellow brick road.

There are some bushes at the side of the road, in one of them you see a pair of eyes glistening. Fear fills your heart, that's a lion, you think! Then a strange looking cat comes out of the bushes. I's black with a white stripe on his back and tail. It looks at you and introduces itself. "Hi there, I'm Pepé Le Pew, what are you doing here?". >ask about le Bistro à l'Aztec "I don't know ......................" You know there's a big but coming. Indeed a woman has walked up to you! "Hi I'm Lay Low, your bride-to-be!" Is this the same woman as the female grue? "You look totally different now!" She smiles at you and says "Don't panic this just my stage image." Pepé sees you're scared and decides to help you, he squirts some bodily fluids onto the grue. The smell is terrible but the grue is dissolving. Seconds later only her red, shiny shoes are left. >take shoes You take the red shoes. >talk to Pepé "How did you do that?" "That's one of my little secrets. I don't know where that Bistro is, but I know someone who will. His name is The Wonderful Whizzer. I'll join you on your way there. I have to speak to him also, I have a small BO problem and he might have a cure for it."  Bernard

You proceed along the yellow brick road. Dancing optional. After a short distance you arrive at a turnstile. Beside the turnstile is a heap of rusty old junk.. no, wait, it appears to be an old automaton. Is it moving?
>examine automaton
You touch the automaton. Its eyes blink, it is trying to talk.
>use olive oil with automaton's mouth
Oh, you're getting good at this now. You apply the olive oil to the automaton's mouth.
"Thank you!" says the automaton, "I am the Lord Osscccaarrrrrrs from a few pages back. I caught my train, but that ungrateful wench kicked me off when I asked for her ticket. I landed in a puddle and now I'm all rusty... waaahhhhhhhhhh"
>comfort Lord Osssccarrrrrssssss
You attempt to comfort Lord Osssccarrrrrrssssss. Eventually he stops sniffling. You apply olive oil to all his rusty joints. He begins to move more freely. Should he join your merry troupe?
>just as long as he doesn't want my ticket
Lord Ossccarrrrrrssss joins your merry troupe. Off you all go again.

The three of you are happily walking down the road again. In a field you see a big donkey grazing. You want to attend them to the huge ass to your companions, but you think of Lay Low and you keep your mouth shut. >talk to Lord o'Scars "Hi you, would you mind if I call you Scarface?" He says he doesn't care, as long as you oil him up and rewind his spring every now and then. "What's your big problem, Scarface?" He says he's really self aware about his appearance and he wants an Extreme Makeover. He thinks the Whizzer can do that for him. The weather is changing, clouds are blocking the light of the sun. It starts to rain. You walk on, through the rain. Walk on, walk on. You're entering a vineyard, there are crows everywhere! (At last crows! No game can do without them!). There's a scarecrow, tied to a cross shaped wooden construction. >use pocket sword with scarecrow You cut the ties of the scarecrow. >take cross You take the cross, the scarecrow whimpers "Please don't be cross with me!!" >talk to scarecrow "Where are we now?" He answers "These are the vineyards of the Château d'Y, They make the sweetest wines here!" You say that Y is a very short name, he acknowledges it's short, but the owner had no choice, a longer name wouldn't have fitted because the château is very small. Down the road again!  Bernard

>inv Your inventory contains an empty bucket, a wig, a shard of flint, a pocket sword, 3 cents, a gun with 2 bullets remaining, a dusty bottle containing a very small amount of olive oil, a clipper lighter, a moldy piece of brie and a pair of (mostly) red slippers. >Mostly red? I'm a text parser, not a doctor. Care to rephrase that in the form of something intelligible? >Look at shoes On closer examination, you find that the shoes are actually silver slippers, covered in grue blood. >Use wig on shoes You now have one pair of silver slippers, and one (mostly) red wig.

After walking further along the yellow brick road, the path widens out onto a poppy field. Ooo how pretty.
>frolic amongst the poppies
This is an adventure game, not an episode of Teletubbies.
>bypass poppies
This is a yellow brick road, not a bypass.
>walk past the poppies whilst keeping a safe distance and being extremely careful not to inhale too deeply
That's a long sentence, but it's correct and you earn bonus points
>hoorah!
You steer clear of the poppies.

Down the road again! You realize you don't know anything about the scarecrow! >examine scarecrow As you look at him, you see there's something weird about his nose. He's wearing a glove on one hand. >ask where he's coming from "I come from NeverEverland™ Sir. By the way, my name is Michael." You don't know what to think of him. You keep on walking, you're glad your boots were made for this. The road is long, with many a winding turns. After one of the turns you see a man playing a trumpet, it sounds cool, you wish you still had your sun glasses. >greet musician He takes of his black hat and greets you back. "Guys, you're all welcome. My name is Miles, how can I be of help?" >ask about Whizzer "Yeah, I've heard about him, he lives in the Castle of the Yellow Fountains." You ask how far it is. "You know, there are many people called Miles, I guess you've got another 45 Miles' to go!" He takes a piece of jewellery out of his ear and gives you the golden earring. "When you see the Whizzer, please give him this." He starts to play the trumpet again and as you're walking away, you're treated with som fine jazz. Down the road again!  Bernard

Talk to Miles.
Off the yellow brick road is a short path leading to a quaint cottage. Outside the cottage is a sign: "The Amazing Miles -- 45 Voices, Each Surprisingly Different!" You knock on the door.
Miles answers. He is dressed in peasant garb and holds out a cup.
>Put penny in cup.
Miles reaches up to the sign and flips it to the back, where you see a list of names, all written in what seems to be Elvish. Miles gestures to indicate that you should choose a name.
>Alfred Hitchcock.
Miles does not speak as Alfred Hitchcock.
>Judy Garland
Miles does not speak as Judy Garland.
>Hugh Bliss.
Who? READ THE SIGN!
>How can I read the sign? You are completely unreasonable. And who ARE you anyway? Identify yourself!
Miles speaks with all 45 voices at once. "We are legion," he says. You manage to identify the voices of Darth Vader, Sybil Trelawney, Princess Buttercup, Spiderman and Bugs Bunny as he speaks, but the incident is now so creepy that you back away from Miles and head on down the road.

You offer to fetch the drinks, and you go to the bar. >look at bartender The bartender looks quite old. His face shows he has had his fair share of the 'good' things in life. Some bats are flying around him. >talk to bartender He says his name is Ozzie and he comes from the land down below. "It's quiet now" he says "it's because the men are at work. Would you like a bat?" >say yes Ozzie gives you a bat. >Examine bat The bat is wearing a cap, a glove and tight pants. It's a baseball bat! >talk to bat "You play baseball, don't you?" "You bet I do, I'm a pitcher!" >use pitcher with bartender Ozzie fills the pitcher with beer. You start to walk back to your table, a man in black addresses you. "Let me introduce myself to you, I'm Michael, Michael Knight." Oh no, please no more Michaels! >ask Knight about whizzer "I know where he lives, I could drive you there with my car." You accept his offer and Michael talks to his watch, "Kid, get us out of here!". With a loud noise and a smell of burning rubber a car enters. You call the others and you all get into the car. Down the road again! You see a small orange fibre on your seat. >examine fibre You take a closer look at the fibre, you now see it's a Speedo. >ask Michael about Speedo "Please call me David, all my friends do. The Speedo you say? In my spare time I'm a life guard. I hate water but I like the big floating devices covered in orange fabric!". A voice in the car says "Oh please David, end these awful puns!" >ask David about the voice "Never mind that! It's just Kid." >ask about Kid "Is Kid some kind of computer?" "No, it's just a little kid hiding itself in the dashboard." You see that the scarecrow's eyes are wide open now and he seems to be very alert. David turns on the stereo and says "Do you know I'm a singer also? I even made an album. I'll play it for you." He inserts a CD into the stereo and you hear the music. You decide you have to get out of the car quick. You ask David to stop the car. He stops the car at a MacDrive and you and the others step out. David orders some drinks and some burgers. You think that David will have a night to remember! The four of you start walking again.  Bernard

>talk to Dirk "Hii. I'm the the lost adventurer, where do you come from?" "I come from a galaxy many, many, many, ................ ..................................................... .................................................. ..........., many light years away!" "What are you here for?" "I want to show the all new TeaserGun™ to you Earthlings." >ask about TeaserGun™ He points the TeaserGun™ at you and you suddenly see a tropical island with two people on it, one of them seems to have a foot injury. You tell Dirk the teaser isn't very original. He says you're right, it's a sequel." Dirk asks where you're going, you tell him the story about the Whizzer. He says: "I will follow you follow you where ever you may go there isn't a ..." "Oh shut up please!!!! You can come with us, but no more tunes." Walking again, you notice Dirk is leaving Mystic Trails.  Bernard
