Swifter than you can react, the dark garbed man pins your arms behind you and in one fluid motion brings his stiletto up to your throat. As you feel the pressure of the cold steel against your neck he speaks in a hoarse, barely audible whisper saying: "I've noticed you've taken quite an interest in some of the valuables scattered about on this island. What I want to know, is why?" How do you wish to respond(type the number of your choice)? 1. I'm simply trying to get rich. 2. I'm collecting these artifacts for a museum. 3. I only wish to restore them to the temple, where they belong. "Well, at least you're honest about your greed. " he replies. "It may be for the best to get them away from here. " He continues as he pulls the knife from your throat. "You see long ago, on this very island lived a powerful, yet cruel, deity. The villagers who used to live here, built a temple in His honor and would bring Him their riches from which He could draw power; the more wealth He amassed the more powerful He became. After many years of this, a neighboring tribe, hearing of the riches that filled the temple, began to make raids on the island. To combat this, the islanders began devoting their riches to warfare, rather than the deity. He became jealous. Out of anger He caused the volcano to erupt, burying the village under lava and destroying much of the temple. "The raiders had protection from their own gods and so there was nothing to stop the raiders from looting the island of its wealth. With His energy-giving riches gone and no worshipers to replenish them, this island's god quickly lost power. However, He did not die. "That is why I am here. I belong to an ancient order, devoted to ridding the world of evil powers such as this deity. Obviously, I am here to destroy Him once and for all. "He is weakened now, but he still has some powers. Exactly what, I'm not certain, but may have the power to control minds or manipulate time and space. This medallion will block His powers and keep him from controlling you. It is one of the ones used by the raiders to protect them from His wrath as they looted the temple. Very few of these remain. Wear it at all times; if I see you without it, I can only assume you are under His power and will respond appropriately. "Your greed can serve a purpose. I want you to go ahead and take all of the valuables from the island. For, you see, if enough wealth were to be placed onto the central altar and His true name were to be spoken aloud, He would be able to return to full strength. Without the other gods to stop Him, He would be, well, unstoppable. I have gone to lengths to insure that no record of His name remains, but to be safe, it would be best if the valuables were to be taken as far away from here as possible. "To aid you in your task, use that crystal ball. It guides people to what they want. But be careful. It is a treasure of this island, and as such, will try to work for His purposes. "Oh, to open the boulder from the inside, just say, 'emases nepo.'" >say "emases nepo" Okay, "emases nepo." Responding like magic the boulder moves aside revealing a passage to the south. >s path You see a boulder and a tape recorder here. The boulder slams shut. >se path >s temple roof You find yourself standing on the ornate roof of a large temple.
