The Tale of Thorvald the Great and Mighty

This is an adaptation of "interactive fiction" or "text adventures," a popular kind of computer game in the eighties and early nineties.

According to Wikipedia an IF is "simulating environments in which players use text commands to control characters and influence the environment."

In other words, you guys type commands like "Thorvald should check the box."

I will then write a story such as, "Thorvald opened the wooden crate, being careful to first check for traps. He carefully lifted the lid and discovered a small diamond ring laying at the bottom. He snatched it up and put it in his backpack before quickly leaving the store."

You give suggestions and I write the story. Please no complex suggestions such as "Thorvald opens the box and finds a diamond ring with the power to obliterate all objects made of copper." You don't know what's in the box; I know what's in the box.
