ARGH's Great Escape by Mystery




You are ARGH. Proud caveman, aspiring inventor. You were recently jailed in Boulder Rock prison for your attempt to invent a circular device intended on making the moving of objects easier. While you had supporters, all kept quite out of fear of being placed in Boulder Rock; where no man ever leaves.

You know if you can escape this place and show everyone what your invention can do, that it would change the world and ease the work of every other caveman on earth.



Cell III, Boulder Rock Prison

This is your cell, where you are doomed to spend the rest of your days because of your wild ideas. There isn't much for comfort here, and you didn't expect there would be. Bamboo rods keep you imprisoned in the small cave. A small hole, the size of a large dinosaur egg is located at the top of the cave. Unfortunately is much too high for you to reach, and too small for you to fit through. Also here is a drumstick.

> get drumstick
You take the drumstick.

> wait
Time passes...

> wait
Time passes...

Something from above catches your attention. A beaver falls through the hole in the top of the cave. He looks very hungry, and is looking at you intently.

> give drumstick to beaver

You hold the drumstick up to the beaver and barely able to pull your arm away in time. He eats the drumstick in one bite, then looks to you for more. He leaps out toward you, but drops in midair. He looks to be very sick. He reminds you of the nurse you saw on your way in. Well, her hair, anyway.

> get beaver
You pick up the sick beaver. You suddenly get an idea. You throw yourself on the ground and start screaming. The guard quickly rushes in and notices that the drumstick is gone. He rushes you to the infirmary where you wait for the nurse to come back on duty.

Boulder Rock Infirmary


This is the infirmary. Sure, no man ever leaves, but they have to give keep try to keep you alive. There is a cell door, much like the one to your cell, except this one leads to freedom. There is a slab, which the patient is to lie on, and a rock table nearby. A cubby hole in the wall, looks to be some sort of storage space.

> x cubby
It looks like some sort of storage container. A nurse dress is inside the cubby hole.

> get dress
You take the nurse dress from the cubby hole.

> wear dress
You put on the nurse dress.

> x table
The rock is an odd shape, but has a flat surface. Some medicine is on the rock table.

> get medicine
You take the medicine from the rock table.

> wear beaver
You plop the the sick beaver on your head. It looks like you have created the first caveman mullet!

> give medicine to beaver

You feed the beaver and bring him back to health. He still isn't feeling so hot, but manages to chew through the bamboo bars, making his escape.

> south

Making sure the coast is clear, you are able to escape the Boulder Rock Prison and are finally able to reveal your invention, which you named the Wheel. You not only become the most famous person in the world, you are also the only caveman to ever escape Boulder Rock Prison. Unfortunately you had a run in with that very same beaver a few years later which ended the life of ARGH. The beaver didn't have it so well either. He became very sick and also died. His fangs were mounted on the outside of Boulder Rock Prison in your honor.
