X Trudging home from the Libes late one night, you notice a figure darting
Xfurtively through the shadows, obviously trying not to be seen, yet your
Xeyes seemed to have been alerted to his presence, as if by instinct. There's
Xsomething disturbingly peculiar about him, so you decide to follow him to see
Xwhat he's doing on campus. He flashes across Sheridan road onto Emerson, then
Xtakes a quick cut to the north. Again your gaze seems to be riveted to his
Xform, so much so that you are hardly aware of threading your way in and out of
Xthe Plex's courtyards, then back across Emerson again. Why does this guy keep
Xdoubling back on himself? Does he know you are following?? Faster and faster
Xthe two of you race; now you're trying not to be seen as well, either by him
Xor anyone else who would be wondering what sort of activities you had been
Xengaged in while out on the lakefill that would cause you to be running about
Xlike a decapitated chicken.
X You've just about caught up with him, when suddenly he rounds a corner and
Xstops in front of a large doorway. Is it Willard? You stay behind some
Xbushes so that he won't notice you, and you observe him to be fumbling in his
Xbackpack. A couple of things fall out as he yanks his hand out, clutching a
Xsmall, tattered slip of paper. The objects look like a large gold key and --
Xis that a crystal ball?! Hastily, he scoops them back into his pack, glances
Xat the slip of paper, mumbles something -- and vanishes in a burst of
Xbrilliant, multicolored light!
X Now you wish you'd have gone straight home: obviously you need some rest
Xafter concentrating so hard under those harsh fluorescent lights in Reserve.
XBut wait, you don't remember seeing this part of the sorority quads before.
XThat doorway is NOT Willard's. Then you notice that he dropped that slip of
Xpaper. You decide to pick it up, since you don't know if you can find your way
Xback here in the daylight. For that matter, you don't know if you can find
Xyour way HOME. You look at the paper, trying to decipher the scrawled words...
X
X RUN USERD:[CON00907.DOLPHER]MONSTER
X
XWhat the --? Guess there's only one way to find out...

XWelcome to Monster! Hit return to start:
X
XWelcome back, Faust. Your last play was on 1-JUN-1988 at 10:47pm.
X
XYou're in Great Hall
XYou're in the middle of a vast hall stretching out of sight to the
Xeast and west. Strange shadows play across the high vaulted ceiling.
XThe floor is set with smooth rectangular stones. The walls feel slightly
Xcold to the touch, and damp with condensation. A copper plaque, slightly
Xgreen with age, is set into one wall.
X
XMonster Manager is here.

XMonster Manager vanishes in a brilliant burst of multicolored light.

XThe stones are rough and black, and cold to the touch. Although the
Xmortar work appears to have been expertly done, it has decayed with time.
XMany stones are cracked, and narrow spaces fracture the carefully laid
Xpattern. Some of the stones are quite loose. You might be able to lift
Xone of them with some effort.

XMonster Manager manages to lift a stone in the floor and descends.
X> lift
XWith great effort, you manage to lift the stone enought to fit inside.
X
XOnce below the stone, it falls back into place, sealing out the light
Xfrom above. You squirm down the narrow tunnel . . .
X
XYou're in UnderHall
XThis is a cramped, humid room beneath the Great Hall. The walls are
Xdripping with water condensed from mist rising from the baths. Some
Xof the mist follows the ceiling and dissappears up the narrow tunnel.
X
XStairs lead north down to the Great Baths.
XA neon sign flashes "Great PIB's Lair" over a door to the South.
XYou could manage a crawl through a narrow tunnel leading upwards.
X
XMonster Manager is here.
X> look Monster Manager
XMonster Manager is the stereotype of a computer hacker. He is wearing
Xa flannel shirt with several snickers bars in the breast pocket. On
Xhis belt is an ASCII-HEX conversion chart. On his feet are a scuffed
Xpair of hiking boots so he can tackle those dangerous mountains that
Xcrop up in operations. Also dangling from his belt is a battered box
Xwith many buttons on the front and wires with sockets on the ends protruding
Xfrom the back. The switches seem to have been placed haphazardly, but
Xthe object is unmistakably one of great power nonetheless.
X
XMonster Manager is in perfect health.
XMonster Manager is empty handed.

XYou're in Great Baths
XThese are the luxurious Great Baths where tired adventurers may come
Xto relax and try to regain their health and youth from the mineral waters.
XFrom where you stand at the entrance, you can see below you the bubbling
Xsoapy pools of water churning violently in tile-lined pits. The pools
Xare fed by hot springs from deep in the rock beneath you. Steam and
Xhuge soapy bubbles rise out of the hot pools of water. The bubbles
Xdance through the air, climbing higher and higher, until they either
Xburst on the sharp walls of the cave or are lost in the mist above you.
X
XShallow tiled steps, wet and slick from the hot soapy waters of the
Xsprings, lead down to the pools.

XThe Monster Vice Manager is dressed in a conservative three piece
Xsuit. The stern expression on his face is just a facade, he really
Xis a warm and sensitive guy underneath. He is willing to answer
Xany questions and help out with any problems. He can best be
Xdescribed by the phrase:
X
X "Do what thou wilt, so mete it be."

XHe returns your gaze with a hint of understanding and amusement.
