text game. I'm testing it out now.

I lost three hit points to a mouse and failed to build a campfire. This is like D&D with a really cruel DM.

Now my path is being blocked by a weasel that I apparently have to kill before I can continue. And all I really want to do is see if the "skin corpse" command works on orcs or humans.

Wow, that weasel was really pathetic. It was even weaker than the mouse and now I feel really bad for killing it.

I gave up, it kept nagging, and I was on the turtorial :S I don't think these things are for me xD I'll try it again..

no!! I have to kill a mouse D:

I have to kill it just because i can D:

I feel a drinking pressure from Aradir. what if I don't want to drink a beer or kill a mouse!?

and now he's mr greenpeace. There's the trash can.

Aradir builds a campfire.
kill aradir
Aradir easily stops you from attacking him.

It think it may be far more fun just to read what you two are doing.

The weasel slinks along the ground.
kill weasel
You should consider your opponent before running in to attack.
consider wasel
What are you thinking?
consider weasel
Weasel might as well already be dead.

Weasel has died.
skin corpse
You skin the corpse, separating a nice clean pelt from it.
put pelt in bag
Ok.
eat corpse
You eat corpse of Weasel.

I give up.

This is some railroading if I've ever seen it. What if I don't want to go southeast?

I kind of got lost...

WHAT DO I DO! what do I do with bilbo?

I think Bilbo killed me...
I am red,

look bilbo
Before you stands one of the few famous hobbits in Arda, Master Bilbo
Baggins! Bilbo has travelled far and wide across Arda on adventures that
are only now becoming well known as the stories are told and retold. Old
and frail, Bilbo is getting on in age now, and his travels seem to be at
an end. But if rumours hold true, he still has ties to perilous events!
The rumours say that Bilbo's nephew, Frodo, has gone off on some dangerous
quest that could affect all of Arda....
He is empty handed.

You have died.

You have a strange feeling.
You can see your own lifeless body from above.

A message echos in your mind:

When you die, your body is made a ghost and you must find a cemetery
or healer like the one you've been moved to. Ghosts have restricted
commands such as not being able to use any communication or checking
their statistics.

To continue this tutorial, type 'help ghost'

Thats a very violent Bilbo!

Well, to be fair... she started it!

I used to love text adventures- I wonder if this one is based on the old Melbourne House ones- they did TH, FotR and TT, sadly they went bust after many years before they got to do RotK.
