A cyclops, who looks prepared to eat horses (much less mere adventurers), blocks the staircase. From his state of health, and the bloodstains on the walls, you gather that he is not very friendly, though he likes people. >shout Odysseus I can't use the word 'odysse' here. >shout Odysseus I can't use the word 'odysse' here. >shout Odysseus I can't use the word 'odysse' here. >save Enter a file name.
