DavidW asks, "Is there a pillow in the room?" |
maga says, "you use successively thicker cords until you can hoist a rope up" |
maga says, "sadly we have no rope" |
lpsmith says, "I think the ball can get the thread over the rafter, and the thread can get the string over the rafter." |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x rafters" |
Floyd | You'd guess that the lowest beams, upon one of which the duck rests, |
Floyd | are 30 feet high. They run east-west across the breadth of the hall. |

lpsmith says, "And we need to protect the portrait, I guess." |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "n" |
Floyd | |
Floyd | Great Hall |
Floyd | You are in the middle of a magnificent dining hall. The east and west |
Floyd | walls stand thirty feet tall; near the top, stained-glass windows |
Floyd | bearing coats of arms admit the light of the full moon. Below the |
Floyd | windows hang pictures of past Masters of the college and illustrious |
Floyd | former alumni, gazing down over the long rows of tables and benches. |
Floyd | Shadowy rafters support the peaked roof. |
Floyd | |
Floyd | Directly above you is a hexagonal skylight set in the middle of the |
Floyd | high ceiling. |
Floyd | |
Floyd | In the rafters at the north end of the hall, a duck perches |
Floyd | incongruously on a beam. |
Floyd | |
Floyd | A double length of rope runs up the east wall to the skylight, |
Floyd | presumably for opening and closing it. Its bottom ends are tied to the |
Floyd | leg of a table just next to the wall. |

inky says, "I thought we couldn't fire the ball over the rafters, though" |
inky says, "oh, skylight" |
DavidW asks, "Someone wanted rope?" |
inky says (to Floyd), "x skylight" |
Floyd | The skylight rises like a little turret from the very centre of the |
Floyd | roof, illuminated by the full moon. The rope runs through a ring at the |
Floyd | top of the window. |
Floyd | |
Floyd | > |
lpsmith says (to Floyd), "untie rope" |
Floyd | You untie the length of rope from the table. |
Floyd | |
Floyd | > |
maga says (to Floyd), "take rope" |
Floyd | Most of it isn't within your reach at the moment. You'll have to get it |
Floyd | down first. |
Floyd | |

inky says (to Floyd), "pull rope" |
