Day Nineteen
Well, this is it. Finally, after 18 days of training involving going to the jungle once and dying within 5 seconds and somehow destroying the Almighty Ghost's Clock, I feel good enough to go and actually try to find the MacGuffin or something. And I will. Well, here goes.
I start in a small room in a bit larger area, ahead of me a bland tunnel. I head forwards and break a pot. Strange, why would there be pots in this deserted cave? I don't SEE any civilization. Anyways, in the pot was a gold nugget, worth $1,000. I quickly pick it up. Further ahead is the edge of the short tunnel; a skeleton under... is that an arrow trap? I feel like Indiana Jones with this proof of civilization everywhere! Not wanting to be shot, I throw the skull into the range of the arrow trap. As I thought, the arrow goes off. But two things here, I don't think I should be disturbing these skeletons, and did the ancient cave dwellers have motion sensing technology? Grabbing a stack of three gold bars ahead ($2,600) and a gold speck with them ($500), I notice a little space above. I didn't want to waste a rope getting up those three spaces, there was probably just a gold bar and a snake in there anyways. Hopping over a bump, I encounter a much more spaceous area... How about I draw it?
After dropping down to the ledges on the right to grab the gold, I accidentally land on the snake and crush it's skull, killing it. Luckily it's head was bouncy enough to get me up to the gold. I head to the alcove on the left below the entrance, but while I do, I accidentally drop one of my 4 bombs down the chasm, exploding somewhere I can't see. Entering it, I hear a womanly scream. Is there a damsel in distress somewhere in this cave? I find a ladder hooked up to the cave wall (Why is this there? It looks so modern, how could these ancient people build it? and descend it, finding a gold speck.
At the bottom of the ladder, I see the damsel. She's blonde, dressed in a red gown. Was she at a party when an earthquake happened and she fell down while the ground sealed back up above her? She seems to have received amnesia for her great fall. So, I decided to name her. Or rather, I can't, because I'm incredibly uncreative. So, I'll call my friends for a suggestion forher name. And I guess that ends the day.
You receive a call on your cellphone.
Hey, it's me, Spelunker. (How do they get reception down here? Dang cave dwellers. They're like nazis.) I just encountered a girl with amnesia, what should I name her?
