2 # Message file for books
3 #
4 # Message entries contained in this file will
5 # appear randomly in readable objects like books, scrolls
6 # and such (op->type==BOOK).
7 #
8 # To add an entry:
9 # ---------------
10 # Start all entries w/ MSG and end with ENDMSG. The body of
11 # the text between these 2 words will be the message.
12 #
13 # When designing messages please keep in mind:
14 # -------------------------------------------
15 # 1) Message length shouldn't exceed the maximum
16 # buffer size for books (you'll generate a warning message
17 # if you do this). Check the file include/read.h for the
18 # current message size limit (BOOK_BUF).
19 # 2) Text has to fit into the player message window.
20 # Don't design lines at lengths of 40 or more, or it will
21 # wrap around to the next line. Long lines will appear
22 # differently to the player than as presented in this file.

33 "In the mountains north-east of the great
34 city we found it at last--the hidden
35 fortress of Barad-Dur. What treasures
36 could lie in it I do not know for our
37 party never gained its way past the
38 entryway. Skulls, pixies, and a horrible
39 creature I hesitate to name decimated my
40 friends and I."

45 In ancient times past the great fortress
46 of Ang was raised on the western shore.
47 Many inhabitants it has had, but the last
48 known was the most unusual. A titan of
49 rare power is said to live in Ang now.
50 There he serves as guardian of an arti-
51 fact of unusual might.

56 Many have ventured into the northern
57 country. Up beyond the mountains, alone
58 in the wastes lies a vast domain of
59 mines that delve deep into the earth.
60 Know that these tunnels and shafts are
61 quite perilous; for only once in recent
62 times have I heard of an expedition
63 returning from them.

94 ...and then did the Alchemist agree to
95 make me my potion. First he called to
96 his grimm servants who hauld forth a
97 great iron cauldron. Into this black
98 device did he deposit his ingredients
99 and, opening his spell book for refer-
100 ence, then did he cast his spell of
101 alchemy therepon the cauldron.
102
103 Greatly did the tub shake and move!
104 I thought that the Alchemist had broke
105 his device, but he chuckled at my ig-
106 norance. Into the cauldron did he reach
107 an brought forth a filled bottle of
108 golden amber fluid...

113 Know that there are 4 principle
114 philosophical ingredients. In order,
115 they are:
116
117 - philosophical salt
118 - philosophical sulphur
119 - philosophical phosphorus
120 - philosophical oil
121
122 The great alchemist has often said that
123 all living things are made of these
124 ingredients. Proper combination of
125 these with other base objects can
126 often create potions of power and
127 might.
