"PORTRAIT
\nThe portrait is of Lady Petters, whom you recall meeting earlier. She closely resembles a low-rent television celebrity - you know, thingummy - tschh - the woman from Superman; or perhaps Lesley Judd. Her pose suggests she is speaking on a mobile phone.
\nIf the player has collected the mobile phone from the back page of PC GAMER 37, they can put it in the portrait for 6 points.",
"DOORWAY
\nYou leave the room.
\nPlease insert PC GAMER Electronic Arts promotional supplement and press Fire to continue.",
"CHAIR
\nThe large, solid chair is an amazing work of craftsmanship. It has been exquisitely carved from a single block of marble. Marble is a granular, crystalline limestone, irregularly mottled or streaked to produce veins. It can also be used to describe a game where the object is to knock your opponent's ball (or "marble" - originally so called because it was marble) from a chalk ring, or circle.
\n\nThe chair serves no purpose.",
"TUBA
\nThis is the bell of a tuba. You remember the cryptic words of the Music Master: "If the tuba be played, the dragon be slayed." You may try to recreate the Song of the Tuba by clicking on the individual stops.
\nIf the player tries to use the tuba, they are immediately killed, scoring -10 points.",
"PATTERNED FLOOR
\nThe floor has a curious pattern. You can see the whole room reflected in its surface, indicating that it has been polished to a ludicrous and impractical degree. Nevertheless, you feel the pattern holds some significance.
\nIf the player steps on the floor, they slip, fall down and die, scoring -10 points.",
"THE 14TH PETAL
\nCongratulations! You have solved the mystery of Ryndyr. Score 10 points.",
"SILVER BOX
\nNo one knows what the hell this is supposed to be.",
"TAPESTRY
\nTouching the tapestry causes a ghost to appear! It is Lord Trimton Petters. He has a sorry tale to tell.
\nUse a stupid voice to tell a story that rambles on until the player dies of polio. Award the player 2 to 6 points depending on how quickly they cut you off.",
"CANDLESTICK
\nThe candlestick falls down, crushing you to death. Score -10 points.",
"GUARDIAN PLINTH
\nAs you touch the plinth, the Guardian of the Chamber appears. He is a wizard of great power, and a wily opponent of incalculable age. You must defeat the Guardian's logic puzzle to continue.
\nPlay noughts and crosses with the player. If they win, award 3 points.",
"EMPTY PLINTH
\nThe middle plinth is strangely empty. Do you perhaps have something in your inventory that would fit here?
\nThe player doesn't, but don't let on. Whatever they try, say, "That doesn't quite fit," in precisely the same slow, clear tone of voice each time.",
"SHIP PLINTH
\nAs you touch the model ship, there is a hardware exception error and you are drowned. Score -10 points.",
"TELESCOPE
\nThe telescope is fixed to the floor, but can be turned freely to examine anything in the room.
\nWhatever is examined, say, "You see... nothing special," unless the player looks at the rafter - go to RAFTER.",
"RAFTER
\nThere is teeny-tiny writing on the rafter that you can't quite read.
\nIf the player uses the telescope, award 4 points and say, "You can now read the writing clearly, but will need the Book of Tongues to decipher it." Neither confirm nor deny the existence of the book.",
"LAMP
\nYou have seen the light! Score 1 point.",
"LAMP
\nYou have seen the light! Score 1 point.",
"LAMP
\nYou have seen the light! Score 1 point.
\nNote - allow the player to do this as many times as they like. If questioned, explain it is a cheat."
