"[if the Main Hall is unvisited]Once escaping the dungeon, you find yourself in what seems to be the main hall of a castle. It's gigantic - at least 50 feet tall, and there is a lot of doorways leading to other rooms. It looks like any stereotypical castle main hall, empty suits of armor mounted everywhere, red carpets adorning the shiny floor, a giant portrait of a man you assume is the king, stained-glass windows, etc. The only problem is: you can't see anyone. As you got past the initial awe and shock of seeing a castle, you noticed there was nothing alive in the room! (Well, besides you, of course). That's weird. You'd go ask the guard back in the dungeon, but you don't really want to go back to that nasty place after seeing something this grand. You came from the east, but you can also see doorways to the west and south, and there is a big staircase leading up to a throne.[end if][if the Main Hall is visited]You are in the main hall. Exits are to your east, west, south, and up the stairs." The suit of armor is in the Main Hall. It is scenery. The description of the suit of armor is "A suit of armor.

The description of the stained glass window is "A beautiful stained-glass window depicting a man on a horse. It looks incredibly smooth, but you decide against touching it.

"[if the Throne Room is unvisited]Going up the stairs in the Main Hall takes you to a throne room. There's a giant throne in the middle of the room.

To the right and left of the throne is another staircase leading up.[end if][if the Throne Room is visited]You're back in the Throne Room. There is a throne and a flower box.

"[if the Kitchen is unvisited]Travelling west from the Main Hall takes you to a kitchen. There's two doors, one to your east (which you came from), and one to your west.

Every turn: if the Player has been in the Kitchen for 3 turns: if the oven has been open for three turns, say "The flames are getting awfully close to you. You should probably close the oven."; if the Player has been in the Kitchen for 4 turns: if the oven has been open for four turns, say "The flames grow larger, and eventually somehow escape from the oven, setting the castle on fire. You didn't think it would have been possible, as the castle is made of stone, an unflammable material, but it happens. You die.

It is fixed in place. "There is a window you can look out of." The description of the window 2 is "A large window. It shows you relatively high off the ground.

Maybe you should try asking the bird something?"; now bird is happy. Instead of asking a happy bird about something: say "The bird interrupts you halfway through your first word. 'You want to know where everyone is, right? Of course you do. Some evil wizard dude kidnapped everyone, obviously. At the moment, I don't think there's anyone else in the castle, but then again I haven't been exploring the castle much. Now get out, I have nothing else to tell you.'

There's more suits of armor in the Armory as well, but one looks different. For one thing, it's directly north of you. It's also different from the other suits though.
