tucdma02 Here are three barrels. One of them has a key in it - the key to one of the chests on the other side of the room. Your job is to get that key. There are a couple of ways to do it... DM
tucdma03 You could just reach your hand in. To do that, you'll move the mouse cursor over a barrel and, when the hand icon appears, click. For barrels, or other open containers, a click means you search for and grab whatever's inside. DM
tucdma04 But maybe you're too cautious to grab. In that case, you could right-click on the barrel. This would bring up a menu of everything you can do with that object - options such as 'search' and 'smash.' DM (text change) MAB, 04-27-01, edited out reference to 'move.'
tucdma05 'Search' would be the same as grabbing. If you choose 'Smash,' however, your character tries to break open the container. If it breaks, anything inside will spill out, and appear as a pile of treasure on the ground... DM
tucdma06 To get treasure out of a pile, click on it - and then drag whatever you want off the grid onto whichever character you want to have it. DM
tucdma07 In short, all objects in the game work this way: if you move the mouse cursor over something, and it turns into a hand, a left click means 'do the most common thing'; a right click means 'give me a list of everything I can do.' DM
tucdma08 Now, go ahead and check out those barrels! DM

tucdma10 Looks like you didn't get the key you need. DM
tucdma11 Did you investigate the barrel in the back? Did you click-drag the key off the grid into a character's inventory? Is there a treasure pile lying around that you haven't gone through? DM

tucdma13 Looks like you've done everything there is to do here. Head down into the bottom corner of the room to be transported back to the cavern under New Phlan. DM (Text Change)MAB, 06-08-01: removed one 'be' from 'be be'
tucdma14 Now it's time to use that key you found. Head across the room to the two chests. DM
tucdma15 You've already found the key. Why don't you head across the room to the chest on the right? DM
