You see the Shadowmaster staring intently at you.                                                                                                                                                                                                              "Redundant, master. Thou knowest who I am."                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "My job is to become the new guildmaster." He taps his staff on the ground.     "You, I see, are just a silly little adventurer! Thou knowest not even WHERE    thou art!"                                                                                     "Thou art on a planet in the Arcturian Star System, a dusty place similar to    mars back in our solar system. There appears to have been life here at one time.I know not if any more BEINGS yet live."                                                       "I hath seen much plant life, and a few beasts. But nothing intelligent. There  appeareth to be several old CITIES, and a number of odd MACHINES..."                                                                                                           "Yes. They seem to be connected by a system of DUNGEONS."                                                                                                                                                                                                      "I hath seen one such entrance northwest of here, outside the city walls. These dungeons appeareth to have been mines of some sort. It doth lead me to a theory involving the MACHINES I hath seen."                                                           "Just above me here thou seeth such a machine. I do believe it art a portal of  some kind. Its construction doth imply dimensional TWISTING."                                                                                                                  "I believe that if it were empowered, the user would enter a strange land where mind and matter become one. A veritable dreamworld utterly unlike our usual     concept of 'world'. The problem is POWER."                                                     "As I checked the mines, I came across several multi-colored crystals." He openshis cloak and you see a large diamond-like crystal, colored red. "I believe     these are the key to activating the mind machines like the one HERE."                          He motions to the strange device behind him. "I believe that if the proper      crystals are placed in the panels, one need only stand on the platform, and     USE the pyramid structure in front."                                                           "Then, I assume, thou wilt be teleported into the strange mindworld." He pauses a moment. "If ye travel southwest of here, ye wilt find another machine. Five   scions are there set up, looking like large torch HOLDERS."                                    "Clearly, it is a similar device. But I doubt they hold crystals. The shape     implies ORBS of some kind. I believe that if five orbs art found, and set in thescions, using the front one wilt send the user back to earth."                                 "I believe the orbs art in the mind machines. Our CHALLENGE is obvious."                                                                                                                                                                                       "As you speaketh with me, it art but a hologram. The real me art in a dimension identical to where thou art. I art on a similar quest. Who can figure out how toget back to earth first? He it is who shalt become GUILD master!"                              "I expect that I shall be the victor. But I believe in a fair game. I shalt keeppart of my mind here as a hologram as I quest. We shall both be doing basically the same quest. I propose a TRADE system."                                                     "As you venture, from time to time cometh here and speak. If thou offer whateverclues thou may wisheth to disclose, as to what thou hast discovereth, then I, inturn, shalt offer whatever advice I hath discovered myself. It is time to resumethe quest!"    "May the best Grandmaster win!"
