You are Darra, a wizard living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a staff and
 a spellbook. You finish your long journey and finally arrive at the ruin you've
 been looking for. You look around and see that it's not much different than
 when you left it.
The only difference is now there's a large group of orcs standing nearby. They're
 obviously waiting for something. One of them approaches you
> say, "Hello, friends. How can I help you?"

"We want to go to the city of Nuro". The orc says.
"What? What do you mean?" You ask.
"We want to go to the city of Nuro". He continues.
> offer orc teleportation magic

"I don't know anything about this". You reply.
"Well, we could teleport with our minds".
"No! We need to talk to someone first!"

> ask orc about his past

The orc looks at you and says:
"My name is Orc. My parents were killed by orcs when I was young. They tried
 to protect me but they died before they could. I've been wandering ever since".
> cry at the poignance of Orc's story

"That's terrible", you say.
"It is. It really is. But it isn't too bad. I'll show you where my home is".
> say, "I am eager to see your abode, friend Orc."

"Oh, sure. Let's go then".
> go to Orc's home

You walk into an underground cavern that seems to be made out of stone. There
 is a large door on the left wall and another one on the right. A little further
 in, there is a small room with a table and chairs. On the table sits a man wearing
 a robe
> greet robed man

"Greetings, sir. I am looking for the city of Nuro".
> say, "Are you and Orc an item?"

"Yes, we are. Are you?"
> say, "I am not an item, but a mighty wizard!"

"A mighty wizard eh? Well, let's hope you're not as weak as some believe".
> say, "Who believes I am weak? I'll turn them into a flagellum!"

"Hah! No way! That would be stupid! I'm just saying you'd probably get turned
 into a flagellum if you did that".
> say, "Orc, your boyfriend is writing cheques he cannot cash. Please warn him of my immense power."

"Ok, ok, ok. Um... Yes, yes, I will try my best".
> wait patiently

"OK, OK, OK. Sorry, but I think you should tell him yourself. Good luck, Orc".
> say, "Did you just say your own name as if you were signing off on a letter? Is that part of orc culture? I love it!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks, Orc".
> say, "Thanks, Darra! Okay, I'm going to turn your boyfriend into protoplasm now."

"Wait, what?!"
> turn robed man into flagellum

"Ah, so much protoplasm! I knew I found something good here! Here, take this!".
> receive item from gratefully emancipated Orc

You pick up the item and examine it. It appears to be a piece of metal, but upon
 closer inspection, you find that it has a strange design etched into it.
> trace design onto paper

You write down the words 'Nuro' on a piece of parchment and place it back into
 the grate.
> say, "The city of Nuro..."

"The city of Nuro... I like it!"
> ask Orc about the city of Nuro

"It's a city of great wealth, beauty and peace. It is also very close to the
 border with the Empire. It is said that the people who live there are kind and
 peaceful. I wish to visit it soon. Thank you again for saving my life!".
> take Orc to the city of Nuro

You lead Orc through the city towards the gate. As you pass through the gates,
 you hear a voice call out to you.
> say, "Who goes there?"

"Who goes there?", you answer.
> wait for reply

"What do you mean? The city is open to all. Just walk in any which direction
 you want, as far as you want, until you reach the city centre".
> take Orc to centre of Nuro

You enter the city centre and find yourself in a large square filled with people.
 Many of them are dressed in colourful clothing and holding signs with messages
 written on them. One such sign reads:
> prestidigitate Orc's clothes to be more colourful

"Hey, why are they all wearing colourful clothes? They don't look happy or relaxed.
 And why are they all holding signs? Why aren't they talking to each other?"
> say, "Hello, friends! Why do none of you speak to one another?"

"That's because everyone here is speaking to me! I am the only person here who
 speaks to everyone else!", the woman says angrily.
> say, "Sounds like you have some competition, toots. That's right: I'm the new game in town, and I can speak or be spoken to by whoever I want!"

"Oh come on, you can't possibly be serious", she replies.
> turn angry woman into flagellum
