"Don Pedro's Revenge" The Deck of the Helene Marie is a room. "The two crews are embattled all around you, but your attention is reserved for your particular enemy: Don Pedro." Table of Random Prompts position prompt boxed "So securely boxed-in that you can really only parry or thrust, you try to " boxed "Trapped between your barrels, you decide to " perched "Able to slice at your attackers but not to advance or retreat, you choose to " perched "Perched up here with the advantage of height (but little mobility), you attempt to " free "Out on the open deck with no impediments, free to advance or retreat, you decide to " When play begins: reset the prompt. Every turn: reset the prompt. To reset the prompt: sort the Table of Random Prompts in random order; repeat through the Table of Random Prompts: if the position entry is the placement of the player: now the command prompt is prompt entry; stop. After reading a command: say conditional paragraph break. A placement is a kind of value. The placements are boxed, perched, free. The player has a placement. The player is free. Understand "retreat" or "parry" as retreating. Retreating is an action applying to nothing. Check retreating: if the player is perched, say "You can't move backward or parry very successfully from this position." instead. Carry out retreating: now the player is boxed; say "You protect yourself, but end up wedged in between two barrels." Understand "thrust" or "advance" as advancing. Advancing is an action applying to nothing. Check advancing: if the player is perched, say "You can't move forward from here, only slash." instead. Carry out advancing: now the player is free; say "You push forward aggressively, making your way to the open deck." Instead of jumping: now the player is perched; say "You leap and swing yourself boldly up into the rigging, leaving your attackers beneath you." Instead of jumping when the player is perched: now the player is free; say "You leap down from your position, into the middle of the deck." Test me with "advance / jump / advance / retreat / jump / retreat / retreat / advance".
