@ "Then dost thou desire a major one?" (550 zorkmids) [yn]

The oracleDelphi under towering Parnassus, where Apollo's oracle was,
plays an important part in mythology.  Castalia was its
sacred spring; Cephissus its river.  It was held to be the
center of the world, so many pilgrims came to it, from
foreign countries as well as Greece.  No other shrine rivaled
it.  The answers to the questions asked by the anxious
seekers for Truth were delivered by a priestess who went into
a trance before she spoke.

Excellent, showing one of the cases when getting out of a maze doesn't work. Just because of nethack I devised my own ages ago... follow the right wall until you get ouuuuuuuuu... (a hole when you explain it to normal humans although nethackers always yell trapdoorI knew my Erik too well to feel at all comfortable on jumping into his house. I knew what he had made of a certain palace at Mazenderan. From being the most honest building conceivable, he soon turned it into a house of the very devil, where you could not utter a word but it was overheard or repeated by an echo. With his trap-doors the monster was responsible for endless tragedies of all kinds.

A better NetHack algorithm.... Follow the wall with your left hand until it turns. Name a worthless piece of glass "Hansel and Gretel". Drop Hansel and Gretel in the spot before the corner. Turn left and continue following the wall. If you ever encounter Hansel and Gretel again, do not turn left, but instead go straight or turn right. But who are we kidding, you never escape in NetHack.

Actually, it's easy to escape in NetHack. Just take the stairs up from DL 1. Of course, doing that's just as pointless as running in circles around the OracleDelphi under towering Parnassus, where Apollo's oracle was, plays an important part in mythology. Castalia was its sacred spring; Cephissus its river. It was held to be the center of the world, so many pilgrims came to it, from foreign countries as well as Greece. No other shrine rivaled it.

But then, so is the whole questMany, possibly most, Tours are organized as a Quest. This is like a large-scale treasure hunt, with clues scattered all over the continent, a few false leads, Mystical Masters as game-show hosts, and the Dark Lord and the Terrain to make the Quest interestingly difficult. [...] In order to be assured of your future custom, the Management has a further Rule: Tourists, far from being rewarded for achieving their Quest Object, must then go on to conquer the Dark Lord or set about Saving the World, or both. And why not? By then you will have had a lot of practice in that sort of thing and, besides, the Quest Object is usually designed to help you do it.

Evil spirits, people called them when the Amulet was made. Don't you think it would be nice to have it?" "Very," said the children, quite without enthusiasm. "And it can give you strength and courage." "That's better," said Cyril. "And virtue." "I suppose it's nice to have that," said Jane, but not with much interest. "And it can give you your heart's desire." "Now you're talking," said Robert.
