id room
short Ore Cart Room
action look
ptell Looks like a railroad yard...ore carts
all around the room. To the east a set
of rails disappears into a chiseled
passage. West is a crawlspace, to the
south, another. A metal ladder goes up
into a hole, and a wooden ladder
disappears down into another hole. To
the north is a large cast-iron bucket
attached to a steel cable with a
complex pulley arrangement that
apparently can be turned with a crank,
which would lift the bucket through the
roof.

ptell You drop to your belly and enter the
crawlspace. After a while your knees
start hurting. (No, I didn't say
'Knees!') You remember your last meal,
with that lovely sauce made with
butter, egg yolks, vinegar, lemon
juice, mmm...! How can you be hungry
at a time like THIS? (She said.)

action east

ptell You follow the rails into the chiseled
rock passage. After many turns and
twists, you find that the way is
blocked by a rockfall. If you had a
backhoe or even a forklift you might
be able to do something, but alas, you
don't. You return to the room filled
with ore carts.
action exa ore carts
alias exa carts
ptell They're all rusted solid. There's no
way to move them.
return
label roof
ptell You climb into the bucket, slip the
steel crank into its matching slot on
the pulley and start cranking. Each
turn of the crank raises you and the
bucket about six inches. You keep on.
