You awake, not sure how long you were lying there unconscious. You are in a candlelit chamber. The first thing you notice is a human skull lying on a small wooden table. Your cell phone is lying on the floor. It is smashed and useless.
You are in a Chamber.
You can see a table (on which there is a skull).
You can go east, west, north or south.
The walls and floor are made of rough hewn stone blocks. There is a large hole in the ceiling that you fell through. An old light fixture provides a dim yellow light which reveals intricate designs painted on the walls.
> x cell phone
I can't see that.
> x fixture
A glass light fixture mounted on the ceiling. A dull light emits from the incandescent bulb.

Paintings cover the walls. From your research, you recognize many voodoo symbols in the artwork.

I can't see that.
> x skull
It appears to be a human skull.
> take skull
Two heads are better than one! You pick up the skull.
> north
You are in a Hallway.
You can go south or up.
The long, damp hallway is slick with moss. A small hole in the ceiling must run all the way to the surface as rain water drips down to the floor.
> up
You are in a Vaulted Archway.
You can go down or north.
A stone archway looms high above your head. The room is dimly lit but you see a menacing figure standing to the north.

You would be crazy to try to get past the sentinel.
> look at sentinel
Blocking the door to the north is a mammoth guard. He stands at what you estimate must nearly be seven feet tall. He is musclebound and he stares at you visciously. In his hands he holds a razor sharp javelin. He is standing inside a magic circle surrounded by voodoo symbols made in white sand. He seems bound inside it which is the only thing protecting you at the moment.
> x flame [which I saw in the side pane only, not in the text]
In a recessed portion of the wall is a gas flame which burns intensely. Below it is a small round metal fixture. It has a square indention in the center.

(A bit later, after going back)
You are in a Living Area.
You can go east, south or west.
A large room with a sofa and a lounge chair. A reading lamp is next to the lounge chair. A small table sits next to the sofa.
> x sofa
An old sofa, not in the best of shape.
> sit on sofa
You flop down on the old couch and a cloud of dust billows up. A spring is sticking into your leg. This was probaly not a good idea.
> stand
I don't understand your command.
> sit in chair
I don't understand your command.
> sit on chair
You sit in the chair. <---- !!!! The recliner no longer works but it is comfortable enough.
> stand
I don't understand your command.
> stand up
I don't understand your command.
> x lamp
A reading lamp sitting next to the lounge chair. It is made of tarnished brass and has a switch. It is currently switched off.

You pull the chain and a dim light springs forth.

> south
You are in a Kitchen.
You can go north.
This room appears to have been used as a kitchen, although you wouldn't want to eat anything that came from here. There is a filthy counter and the place smells of rotting food. An old refrigerator hums in the corner.
> x refrigerator
A worn out refrigerator that used to be white. The door is closed.
> open door
I can't see that.
