(ver sept2019 ifcomp) The Secret of Vegibal Island First Act - "Slipped into Adventure" boring beach You arrived at a nice beach, sandy, sunny. Overwhelming, but even better to the west behind a fence with a gate seems to be the holiday resort. The bold fence is against the poor natives maybe. But no offence you are just imagining yourself there, at the bar, in the pool, on the beach. You even feel the taste of cocktails on your tongue. Mouthwatering it is. So you tend to go west. Into the northern directions it looks dark and full of ugly insects. Thats the reason you booked your kind of active-holidays to stay in your save resorts. Not too much contact to natives or even nature. There is a guy behind a sewing machine. He seems to be focused at his work. Behind him is a wooden infoboard. To the south it opens right into the sea inviting to go south to take a bath. There is an inviting lounger in front of you, ready for you to get on it. There is this a guy working here. You can also see a gate here. >test banana (Testing.) >[1] test th (Testing.) >[2] talk (to guy) Ahoj, what do ya want here? [1] I am Buyshrug Bridgeman and you?

You feel abducted deep into the jungle. bambus fields You find yourself trapped in a well made bambus field labyrinth. Green bambus all around.

You haven't any clue in which direction to escape from here. >[18] w ...Hours of labyrinth-running later... flower bed flowers. Yellow flowers all around. They look familiar. Not that you've seen them in real life. Something special is about this flower. In a way there seems to be a relationship with your first kind-of-beard.

There is also a passage to northeast. >[20] sw jungle path There is a creek flowing from northwest down to southeast, where it ends in a river mouth. a path along the creek's bank follows the same direction.

There is a horizontal passage down there. I assume it leads into a "Blue Hole". [1] What is a Blue Hole? >[53] 1 It is very deep vertical cave with a special flora and fauna. They can be that deep so that fresh and salty water are mixing in them. They can have long horizontal arms. When I'm right and one of them is ending here, we could sell diving trips into it. [1] Ey.

You can't believe your eyes as Dave wears the manatee suit, coming near the water and plouf, out of sight and within a blink of an eye he vanishes between the plants under water. You fairly see him, when he leaves into the direction of river mouth to the southeast. >[56] se river mouth The fresh water delutes itself into the salty sea.

There stands Ron like he wants to sell some stuff. You can also see a fruit table here. >[57] fish manatee You already have that. After putting the fishhook into the water it was all Daves show. He grabbed the hook. Rons big eyes were able to see this giant, wet and shiny meat-man manatee getting out of the water. Not shivering but with a nod that meant respect he came over to you and put the manatee wristband around your wrist. Smelling on himself Dave goes back to northwest to his diving apparatus. Suddenly the guys where shouting at each other that it is e-v-e-r-y time and they ran into the bush. Vanishing until you lose sight of any of them. >[58] nw jungle path There is a creek flowing from northwest down to southeast, where it ends in a river mouth. a path along the creek's bank follows the same direction.

Singing of the ship the black freighter and with eight sails coming to kill the whole village. >[64] z Time passes. Suddenly you hear an explosion from behind. Immediatly you turn your head to the sea. And the black ship with eight sails appeared. A pillar of smoke arises over a cannon. In that second, a next cannon is fired and you are able to follow the canon ball with your own eyes. You have to turn your head and half believing what you see, the cannonball goes down in the middle of the stage and breaks the wodden planks. Should you stay or should you go? 1 - I should stay. 2 - I should go. Please select a number between 1 and 2 >[65] 1 You decided to stay here, enjoying the show. What breaks out is: Panic The bunch of tourists is that frightened, that they are fleeing in different directions. But they are trapped within the massive bold fence. A next canonball goes down and an awful smell is streaming out of it. your stomach wants to return the windbeutel. You bend over and ... ... a hard smack... you lose consciousness After recovering you found yourself in an unknown place. A place thats moving. Up and down. You guessed right... the small porthole on one side assured it to you that you are on a ship. cabin A wooden room inside a ship. You feel the waves. There is just a four-poster bed and a pot of water in it and a porthole to the north shows the way onto the sea. A single cabin door is to the south. You can see a four-poster bed (on which is an inflated deflatable mattress) and pot (empty) here. >[66] open mattress A flush of water flows to the floor and vanishes under the door. >[67] get mattress Taken. >[68] n (together with the empty mattress) (first opening the porthole) ocean Its still far away to the coast line to the north. Directly behind your back is the sloop or ketch you just used to call them boats. To the other directions is just open sea and you don't want to explore that any further. >[69] inflate mattress You take a deep breath and you blow your breath into the mattress until its filled. As fast as possible, you put the plug back in so the mattress stays full. >[70] n With the support of your air filled mattress you reached nearly that island. But near enough to achieve it by swimming, the mattress itself decided to sink into the deeper parts of the ocean as you where riding it. Together with a curious feeling to explore that new place you reached it after noticing it was more far away than you thought and your body was not really easy in managing swimming to the island. ...but... *** THE END (of this act) *** ### NEXT ACT - "Discovering the Secret of Monkey Island" ### banana beach ... sand in your ears, sand in your mouth, between your teeth. You even feel like you're breathing sand. And you try to take a look around. the sun is shining and burnt your back. But hey, you're still wearing your trousers. You see lots of footprints, like a very big group of people was here and leaving into the jungle to the north where you can see a big rock high above the tallest trees. In the middle of this beach is a lonely banana tree. Making you think, it was escaping the jungle behind him to the north. Far away to the northwest it leads halfway up to a volcano. To the south is water, just water and the ship, the black freighter, you remember from the pirate opera on the other island. You can see an uhuru here. >
