TEXTVENTURE - Wordplay to the EXTREME!

[Archem]

\\But that pumpkin nonsense was perfectly fine, wasn't it? Why don't you write a letter to the developers and request a patch/refund?

You politely ask SKELLY to return your OLD MAP. He refuses, but eyes your rather fetching GOLD (PAINTED) WATCH...

> Give (PAINTED) GOLD WATCH to Skelly.

[Archem]

You don't have a (PAINTED) GOLD WATCH, and you don't know any Skellys, but you do try baiting SKELLY with your GOLD (PAINTED) WATCH. Semantics is this game's specialty.

SYNTAX ERROR

[fruckert]

//I actually laughed out loud like a weirdo at that.

> Fine. Give GOLD (PAINTED) WATCH to SKELLY.

//==> Fruckert: Resist temptation to make the lead do something stupid.

[Archem]

SKELLY has taken the bait! It's good that he basically has the brain of a SQUIRREL, because that paint, while shiny, isn't very convincing. You take back your OLD MAP, and see that, in the short time that it's been in SKELLY's possession, he's already begun scribbling on it. Funny, it looks like it may be more complete than it was before.
