Child can't be rescued (SPOILER)
I love this game! I would really like to use Terminus as a teaching tool in the classroom. However, I think one key puzzle is broken.
I am reasonably sure that the solution to the frightened child puzzle in the CaveOfDisgruntledTrolls is to use mv like so:
mv Cage/KidnappedChild .
However, this command doesn't seem to work. The child also isn't recognized by the less command. See the example below.
`>cd CaveOfDisgruntledTrolls You have moved to CaveOfDisgruntledTrolls. The cave is dark and smells like... feet? Oh, right, it's probably the trolls. There's a scared-looking kid in a cage by the far wall.
ls Locations: Cage Slide Items: UglyTroll UglierTroll AbsolutelyHideousTroll mv Cage/KidnappedChild ../KidnappedChild Must be a valid item and location to move it. mv Cage/KidnappedChild ./KidnappedChild Must be a valid item and location to move it. less Cage/KidnappedChild There is no undefined here. less UglierTroll He looks mad, and really, really ugly. But he wants to tell you something. Between his garbled grunts, you manage to understand the following: You can cast spells on items that you don't currently see. For example, if you want to copy an item from this room to the OminousLookingPath from which you came, you can cp [ITEM_TO_COPY] ../[NEW_ITEM_NAME]. You can do this for most spells and most rooms. Use this knowledge wisely. Remember.... you can't undo an 'rm' spell. ls Cage Locations:
Items: KidnappedChild
less Cage/KidnappedChild There is no undefined here.`
I know that I'm about two years too late here, but the solution is that you've gotta move the UglyTroll into the cage. Unfortunately, we care more about getting to the slide than we do about the kidnapped child's well being.
The command/magic spell is:
mv UglyTroll Cage

It didn't work despite me doing both of these. There's no way to access child items of any room at all (yeah i'm like 5 years late to the whole debacle)
