:DESCRIPTION /IFS37=0 `7The main asylum hallway is gone, replaced instead by a snowy pasture. A few bare trees are beyond a short fence. In the distance, a mountain range is obscured by fog. You are standing near a cone-shaped pile of hay which is smoldering on top. Two goat men are standing ankle-deep in snow by the haypile. They are wearing dark blue suits and their arms are crossed at the wrists in front. /ENDS37 /IFS37<>0 `7The hallway shines in pristine white, although it reeks of medicine. The floor almost glows. It seems that the janitorial staff spends a good deal of time making this hallway look nice (while evidently neglecting the rest of the asylum). The asylum entrance is to the north. Long hallways lead to the east, west, and south. /ENDS37 :NODIR1 `2You bump against something invisible. It feels surprisingly like a wall. :NODIR2 `2The pagans have returned the master key to you. There is no sense in exploring the main hallway. :HYPNO1 `2The two goat men are already hypnotized. :HYPNO2 `2You spin the umbrella slowly and speak softly to the goat men. Their eyes are drawn to the spiral. You continue speaking soft suggestions of slumber. After a few more moments, the goat men are in a deep hypnotic trance. :HYPNO3 `2You need a “hypnotic item” according to the hypnosis textbook. :HYPNO4 `2You try hypnotizing the goat men using the :HYPNO5 but it doesn't seem to work for some reason. :LOOKGOATS /IFS41=0 `2The two men peer at you coldly from behind their goat masks. Their incredible distaste for you is evident by their stares. /ENDS41 They are wearing dark blue suits and are standing in ankle-deep snow beside a smoldering haypile. Perhaps they fashion themselves as pagans or druids. /IFS41=0 One of the men snarls at you. The other cackles maniacally. /ENDS41 /IFS41<>0 Their eyes are closed and they appear to be in a deep hypnotic trance. /ENDS41 :GOATKILL `2As you speak to the goat men, they rush toward you with evil intent. You turn to run but the men are stronger and quicker and their powerful hands take hold of you. You scream in terror as they rip your limbs from your body. Your various body parts are tossed onto the smoldering haystack. All that remains of you is soon reduced to ashes. :GETKEY1 `2One of the goat men reaches into a pocket of his suit and produces the asylum's master key. He places it in his palm and stretches his hand outward. His fingertips tilt downward. The key falls to the floor in slow motion as your surroundings fade. Almost like a cutscene in a movie, the snowy pasture becomes the main asylum hallway. You blink and find yourself alone. :SUPPORT talk x GOAT |CIRCLE x TALK1 talk x GOAT |SCHEME x TALK2 talk x GOAT |BOMB x TALK2 talk x GOAT |MESSAGE x TALK3 talk x GOAT x x NOTALK :NOTALK /IFS37=0 `2In monotonal unison, the goat men say “We do not understand.” /ENDS37 /IFS37<>0 `2The strange paganistic scene is gone and the goat men are nowhere around. /ENDS37 :TALK1 /IFS37=0 `2In monotonal unison, the goat men say “We are the Insanity Circle.

You chuckle again. “In that case, I'm happy to tell you that I've ruined your evil scheme.” The goats, despite their current state, appear a little disappointed. /ENDS37 /IFS37<>0 `2The strange paganistic scene is gone and the goat men are nowhere around. /ENDS37 :TALK3 /IFS37=0 `2In monotonal unison, the goat men say “Oh yes, our message is of doom and destruction and undeniable havoc shaped by the minds you condemn as twisted and made possible by the weak fools who dare to roam our sacred halls.” /ENDS37 /IFS37<>0 `2The strange paganistic scene is gone and the goat men are nowhere around. /ENDS37 :END
