The WUMPUS lives in a CAVE of 20 rooms (called caverns in CAVES1, remember?) and the only pleasant way out is to shoot it with one of your arrows - you get 5 to start with. But watch out - if you fall into a Bottomless Pit (there are two), you lose. Two other caverns have swarms of Super Bats. If you wander there, unpredictable things will happen - they like to fly away with people and drop them elsewhereville, like another cavern way over on the other side of the WUMPUS CAVES. Makes mapmaking difficult... Hey! Forgot to tell you... to be fair, you'll get warnings: if you are one cavern away from the WUMPUS, you'll read I SMELL A WUMPUS! and if you're one away from the Bats BATS NEARBY! but watch out for I FEEL A DRAFT 'cause one false step and you've found a Bottomless Pit! Be careful when you shoot! An arrow is good for up to 5 rooms and then you lose it. Make each shot count! Also, when you shoot, make sure the rooms you aim at are properly connected. If the next room you choose for the arrow's path isn't connected (to the last one), then the arrow goes wild. You can get shot by your own arrows. Ouch! Whenever you shoot an arrow, the WUMPUS wakes up! You'll also wake him up if you stumble into his room. When the WUMPUS awakens, he usually moves. And if he moves into your room, CHOMP, you get eaten. Good luck, and keep your map up to date.
