CHALLENGE ! You are YARULLA, a skilled hunter and trapper. The old chief of the tribe has just died and all the villagers are gathered at the 'Meeeting-House' to choose his successor. Normally the eldest son would be the automatic choice, but in this case PACHEO, who was a coward and a bully, had few friends and even less followers. So when someone cried out "Pacheo for chief!", several voices replied "Challenge!" Not surprisingly, one of the voices was your own, for Pacheo had sworn to banish you fropm the tribe if ever he became chief. The 'Elders' of the tribe went into a huddle and, after some deliberation, decided that you should be the one to challenge Pacheo and his claim for the chieftainship of the tribe. One half of the sacred medallion was passed to you and the other half handed to Pacheo. Then turning to the assembled masses, the leader of the 'Elders' said "Whoever shall return to the confines of this village wearing BOTH parts of the sacred medallion and bearing the 'blue stone' from the land of the bears and the reptiles, him shall we hail as chief. It is written in the ancient scrolls that he, and only he, will be acclaimed as the one and rightful chief." NOTES Use all your skills as an adventurer to discover the whereabouts of the fabled 'blue stone' and to wrest the other half of the sacred medallion from the grasp of Pacheo. This game will accept such complex commands as PICK UP THE AXE AND EXAMINE IT, though the normal VERB/NOUN input will suffice in most cases. The game will also accept RAMSAVE and RAMLOAD, so use these to store a game position to memory, though always use SAVE and LOAD to make a more permanent record on disk. NEVER use the game disk to save your position on, always use a seperate, freshly-formatted disk.
