# The Boat
# When the boat is docked, we should have a special /state/ to describe it:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:1]]
@teleport/quiet Lazy Dock
#
@desc/boat here = The dock you stand on juts into a bay of water the color of lavender flowers. A giant leaf softly bobs in the subtle surf next to the dock. Perhaps one could use this to sail across this sea?
# The Boat:1 ends here



# A boat on the sea is a separate room.


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:2]]
@dig/teleport Leaf Boat;gr01 = leaf boat;boat;embark,dock;land;disembark
# The Boat:2 ends here



# General description:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:3]]
@desc here = This leaf, large enough to accommodate a few people comfortably, seems to be a strange, but steady watercraft.
# The Boat:3 ends here



# The boat has three /states/:

#   - =docked= (at *Lazy Dock*)
#   - =sailing= (at sea)
#   - =ashore= (at some island below)


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:4]]
@desc/docked here = This leaf, large enough to accommodate a few people comfortably, seems to be a strange, but steady watercraft. While next to the dock, you can disembark, but feel this boat could set sail at any minute.
[Waiting on other potential passengers]
# The Boat:4 ends here



# And describe sailing on it.:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:6]]
@desc/sailing here = This leaf, large enough to accommodate a few people comfortably, seems to be a strange, but steady watercraft.

Only eddies from the subtle wake, intrude on the lavender sea's tranquility, as the giant leaf floats along an invisible current. <morning>The morning sun peaks above the colossal trees and the snow-capped mountains beyond.</morning><afternoon>The afternoon sun peaks out briefly from misty clouds.</afternoon><evening>The evening sun begins to set on a watery horizon.</evening><night>The moon peaks out from behind wispy clouds.</night>
# The Boat:6 ends here



# And the description of the boat when ashore on an island:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:7]]
@desc/ashore here = This leaf, large enough to accommodate a few people comfortably, seems to be a strange, but steady watercraft. Bobbing softly in the surf, the giant leaf bumps against the shore of the island, allowing you to disembark.
[Waiting on other potential passengers]
# The Boat:7 ends here



# While on the boat, describe the dock:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:8]]
desc dock = A lazy dock with a comfortable-looking chair and a forest of colossal trees behind it on a hill.
# The Boat:8 ends here



# And describe disembarking to the Lazy Dock:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:9]]
@set dock/traverse_miss = "You easily disembark from the giant leaf and step onto the dock..."
# The Boat:9 ends here



# Disembark to describe the exits to the boat:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:10]]
@teleport/quiet Lazy Dock
# The Boat:10 ends here



# Describe the leaf boat (as an exit):


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:11]]
@desc boat = A giant leaf, tipped on all sides, gently floats on the tranquil sea, subtly bumping against the dock. Doesn't seem to have an oar, or even a rudder, but... it appears to be a strange, but steady watercraft if one were to gather a few friends to venture to the lands beyond...
# The Boat:11 ends here



# And describe embarking:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*The Boat][The Boat:12]]
@set boat/traverse_msg = "You step into the bowed cavity of the leaf. Seems surprisingly steady...for a leaf."
# The Boat:12 ends here

# Throne Island
# The boat should land on a distant island.

# We should come up with a *theme* for the entire island, from the “statue” to the puzzles and answers.


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*Throne Island][Throne Island:1]]
@dig/teleport Lonely Island;gr02:typeclasses.rooms_weather.TimeWeatherRoom
# Throne Island:1 ends here



# And describe it:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*Throne Island][Throne Island:2]]
@desc here = Vibrant green moss covers the island's gray rock. Wandering around the conifers you encounter a statue of an elegant woman seated on a large throne.
$state(boat, A large leaf bobs invitingly in the surf.)
# Throne Island:2 ends here



# Now jump into the boat,


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*Throne Island][Throne Island:3]]
@teleport gr02
#
@open leaf boat;boat;embark = gr01
# Throne Island:3 ends here



# And describe the exit:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*Throne Island][Throne Island:4]]
@desc boat = A giant leaf, tipped on all sides, gently bobs in the surf of this island. Doesn't seem to have an oar, or even a rudder, but... it appears to be a strange, but steady watercraft.
# Throne Island:4 ends here



# And about getting on the boat:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*Throne Island][Throne Island:5]]
@set boat/traverse_msg = "You step into the bowed cavity of the giant leaf."
# Throne Island:5 ends here

# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*Throne Island][Throne Island:6]]
@teleport gr01
#
@open shore;island;disembark = gr02
# Throne Island:6 ends here



# And exiting the boat:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*Throne Island][Throne Island:7]]
@set shore/traverse_msg = "You disembark from the giant leaf and you step off into the surf and onto the shore..."
# Throne Island:7 ends here



# Are they going to look before getting off?


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*Throne Island][Throne Island:8]]
@desc shore = You seem to have arrived at some island covered in large conifer trees.
# Throne Island:8 ends here

# First Puzzle
# Details on the throne and the statues and maybe moss? What about sitting on the throne?


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*First Puzzle][First Puzzle:1]]
@teleport gr02
#
@describe statue = A massive statue of an elegant woman atop a throne. A shield rests against her knee as she hold an upright trident. In her other hand, she holds aloft an orb. Eons of moss and mildew adds the appearance of tears streaming down her face. Only a raised eyebrow and subtle smirk hints at an earlier impression. At the base of statue is a plaque.
# First Puzzle:1 ends here

# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*First Puzzle][First Puzzle:2]]
@describe trident = Held loosely with one hand. Unclear if the sculptor intended for the middle tine to be missing, or if it broke centuries ago.
# First Puzzle:2 ends here

# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*First Puzzle][First Puzzle:3]]
@describe ball = The sphere resting on the statue's outstretched hand has an ornamental cross on top and the carved letters: |yR E G I N A|n
# First Puzzle:3 ends here



# The shield holds a poem:


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*First Puzzle][First Puzzle:4]]
@describe shield = An ornate shield carved with a poem:

Upon the waves, as ship doeth glide,
Fearful whispers of the sea abide,
We cast our plea, with silver and song
To keep us safe as we sail along.

She stirs the tides with playful ease,
Her whispers ride the ocean's breeze,
Her mischief wrapped in salty foam,
A siren's call, the sea, her home.

# And the plaque gives the riddle.


# [[file:../../../projects/mud-adventure.org::*First Puzzle][First Puzzle:5]]
@describe plaque = Glory to the Wildmother. All should |wspeak|n her |wname|n: |yA Q U E E R T H E M E L O N|n
