@SHOW@
`2  You walk down a tunnel, and you see a light up ahead!  If
`2  you investigate, you will lose some `%Cave Searching `2time.

  `#  Head towards the light?, `$`n `l
@YESNO@

@##N

`2  You run desperately away from the light.
@END@

@##Y
@SEARCH@ -3

`2  You get closer and closer to the light  `%...
`2  You come across a bridge that spans a ravine.

  `!A guard stares at you, `%`] `!gleam menacing looking.
  `!What will you do?

    `%(`#A`%) `!Attack the guard
    `%(`#G`%) `!Grovel to go by
    `%(`#R`%) `!Run for your life
@PROMPT@ RGA

@##R
`2  You run and stumble.  The guard laughs at your cowardice.
@END@
@##A

`2    You run screaming at the guard, waving around your `@`w`2.

`#  The guard laughs and grabs your weapon, then `o punches a
`#  huge hole right through your `@`a!

`2  You feel `%REALLY `2hurt, and your armour doesn't work so
`2  well any more  `%...

`2  You stumble away and find your way back to the main tunnel.

@END@

@##G

  `!  "Oh please let me by, you kind, generous soul!," `%2you plead.
  `2  The guard thinks about it, then `%`o `2lets you by.

@MORE@
`2  You make it to the middle of the bridge OK, but then you
`2  notice that the bridge is fairly unstable.  It's a long way
`2  to the bottom of the ravine, a trip you would rather not
`2  take.  A big `%bird `2circles overhead.

    `%(`#J`%) `!Jump for the bird
    `%(`#R`%) `!Run to the other side
    `%(`#M`%) `!Make your way back
@PROMPT@ MJR

@##M
`2  You make it safely back to the guard station.  You decide
`2  to head back to the main Cavern tunnel.

@END@

@##R

`2  You make a break for the other side!  You run as fast as
`2  you can just as the bridge rope snaps!  Even at your fastest
`2  speed, you can't outrun `!gravity`%!  `2You fall for what seems
`2  to be forever, and then hit the rocks below.
@GOTO@ @#Died
@##J

`2  You jump up just as the bridge rope snaps!  You grab a hold
`2  of the bird, and climb onto its back.  You feel much `%stronger
`2  from the experience.  However, you have less time to explore
`2  the other cavern tunnels.

`#  Cave's `2entrance, and you decide to head back to `#Town.

@EXIT@

@#Suburbs

`2  says `%"City of Darborne".  `2You thought that the lost
`2  city was just a myth.

`2  The outskirts of the City are magnificent.  Very old
`2  architecture, probably much older than the `%Village,
`2  maybe older than the `@Dragon `2himself.  Several buildings
`2  seem to still be occupied.

`#    What do you want to do?:
        `%(`#H`%) `!Enter a Hut
        `%(`#P`%) `!Enter the Palace
