HIWELL.MSG

{100}{}{You see the Broken Hills town well.} {101}{}{The town well is built with cracked and loose bricks. A dank, musty odor emantes from below.} {102}{}{Remembering what Typhon said about hiding the treasure somewhere "indispensible" and "that wasn't likely to be torn down or plowed over", you make a thorough check of the old well. A few feet down on the inside, you notice one brick jutting out substantially from the rest of the wall.} {103}{}{Goodeee! Trezhur!} {104}{}{Cha-ching! I'm gonna be stinkin' rich!} {105}{}{Gently pulling the loose brick from the wall, you gaze into the darkness looking for the booty you have earned.} {106}{}{Where munneee?} {107}{}{Hmm... can't quite see down there.} {108}{}{You heave the useless brick into the well, hoping to free up your hands.} {109}{}{Huunngh! Get munneee!} {110}{}{Hunnngh! All right. Time to get the cash!} {111}{}{Suddenly, from out of the hole in the well's wall, a sizeable bag with a rope attached to it plunges into the darkness of the well. In your haste to retrieve the treasure, you failed to notice that the brick you discarded was attached by a rope to the very loot you were seeking.} {112}{}{Poopie!} {113}{}{Crap! This sucks!} {114}{}{Yes, it does suck. It looks like you'll need to figure out a way to get the treasure out of the well. You're much too big to make it down the well without getting stuck. Looks like you'll need some help.} {115}{}{Too big go down well.} {116}{}{It's no good. I can't get down the well. I'm too big.} {117}{}{Uh...friend, this isn't...uh...quite what I had in mind.} {118}{}{GO, shortee!} {119}{}{Short guy nice. Like short guy.} {120}{}{Keep goin', Short Round.} {121}{}{You're doing great! Just a little further.} {122}{}{All right, all right. I'm going.... Auugghh... It stinks down here! OK. Almost there... YES!} {123}{}{Got muneee?!} {124}{}{You got it?!} {125}{}{Yep, it's right here! My GOD! This sack is HUGE! That old man wasn't kidding. There must be a load of cash in here!} {126}{}{GIMMEEE!!!} {127}{}{Tie the sack to the rope! I'll pull it up!} {128}{}{Yeah, right! So you can go running off with my share? I don't think so! Just give me a second to check it out.} {129}{}{OK.} {130}{}{Whatever. You're not going anywhere.} {131}{}{I'm opening the sack. It's... it's beautiful! It's so shiny! It's...it's.... Uh oh...} {132}{}{Uh oh?} {133}{}{'Uh oh'? You said 'Uh oh'. Why did you say 'Uh oh'?} {134}{}{Uh... never mind! [snicker]... Check it out.} {135}{}{[Micky ties the sack to the rope, and you haul it up. It's pretty heavy. Maybe Micky's wrong.]} {136}{}{Lookee, lookee!} {137}{}{Let's see what we've got here.} {138}{}{[You gingerly open the sack, relishing the adrenaline rush. The fabric of the sack parts to reveal.....]} {139}{}{Yah, Yah?} {140}{}{What is it?} {141}{}{10000 bottlecaps.} {142}{}{CAPS?!} {143}{}{Freakin' bottlecaps?!} {144}{}{That's a pisser, ain't it kid? Well, better luck next time. Get me out of here!} {145}{}{Old ghoul make funnee joke! Ha Ha!} {146}{}{That bastard old ghoul tricked me! He just wanted me to waste my time running around so he could laugh at me!} {147}{}{Uh... friend? A little help here?} {148}{}{He knew I'd spend hours... no, DAYS, running all over creation to find that crap he wanted just so he could have a good giggle!} {149}{}{Uh... look. There's a large multi-legged thing down here that I'd like to get away from. Could ya hurry up?} {150}{}{Typhon should have known that caps were useless these days. Shouldn't he?} {151}{}{Oh my GOD! It's crawling on me! HELP!} {152}{}{Y'know, it's really kind of sweet when you think about it. He really thought he was helping me out. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on the old guy. ::sigh:: So much for the treasure. I've guess I've got places to go.} {153}{}{::Whimper...::} {154}{}{No care bout well no more.} {155}{}{Hmmmm... I keep having this feeling that I've forgotten something about the well. Oh well, no time to waste.} {156}{}{Could someone help me out here?} {157}{}{HELP!!!} {158}{}{Ooooh! Moss! I'm hungry!} {159}{}{It's crawling on me! Oh God!} {160}{}{I'm gonna get you for this!} {161}{}{Oh my god! Morlocks!} {162}{}{[whistle] When I'm a little scared, I [shudder] sing this merry song... [whistle]} {163}{}{So...mad...right...now!} {164}{}{I suppose a secret passage would be too much to ask for.} {165}{}{What's going on up there?}
