From the creators of Amissville and Isis comes the next great installment of text adventure from Santoonie Corporation .\b N x : \tPrologue\bN Citizens of Newberry, South Carolina, will never forget the day, May 5, 1979. A day in which thousands of curious souls, onlookers, news agencies and world reporters flocked to the small hommlet of Newberry, a town merely a dot on the map. But now, all that has changed ever since the Elf came to town. Who could forget that day, when an orphan Elf with autism emerged from beneath the ground, lost and stranded, stumbling upon a farm house owned by a widower named Lucille. Speaking only Elvish gibberish of Glzzzts and Vzattts, the young Elf would grow into a law abiding citizen, educated and raised by Lucille. The local shop owner recalls, "Every Tuesday, he comes on in, and says in a mighty smile, 'Yall got some more Big Chew?'" .\b N > \tIntroduction\bN Years of stardom has finally passed, school is out for the summer, and there awaits an abondoned house recently discovered, waiting to be explored, but first there's breakfast to be had. Lucille never lets you go adventuring without a full stomach .\b N !# N !# N !# N

N N You rush in to greet Lucille. She is here and she is very delighted to see you. "Delvyn, thank goodness! I was starting to get worried about you." You spend a great deal of time explaining your adventure and finally inform Lucille that the garden menace is no more. Mission accomplished. You notice that Lucille seems a bit sad, suddenly, "Delvyn, we have some guests. There are two (she pauses) elves in the living room who say they are your parents."\b You are in shock.\b "Now Delvyn, You don't have to go.

Her best friend lived here and she never had the heart to tear it down. A dark room greets you. You can adequately see that this place is empty thanks to your infravision.

You've mapped every inch of the farm to this point. You hear footsteps behind you. \b "Go ahead.", says a soft voice, the scarecrow from the field walks up to you briskly, his burlap face with black buttons startles you. "Don't be afraid, Delvyn, I am the guardian of this gate." he explains. "What you are looking for Delvyn, has gone in there.".\b The scarecrow seems to read your mind as your brain tries to reason what stands before you, "I will let you in Delvyn, because I believe that you are quite capable of returning safely. I know this because I have been watching you." You can only manage a "hum..", before his claw like hands reassures your direction into the unknown, "I can't go with you Delvyn, this is as far as I can go. I will not be able to help you Delvyn, like that time in the lake, you are on your own now."\b Fear starts to develop in you as you stare into the vaccuum of his eyes. "I will wait for you, Delvyn...as I have been doing for quite some time" At that instant, and with a friendly smile, the scarecrow closes a 'door' of tall trees, the limbs choking you and finally shutting out all light from the sun. Your infravision kicks in showing the path heading east. N T V N W A You stand at entranceway to a dark forboding home to the east.
