Talk:Time Cave. Period.

New choice:

Ook the Mook

You wander into a nearby cave, and find a caveman with his brow furrowed in concentration (and he gets quite some furrowing, with a brow like that).

He's playing with some rocks and sticks. First he puts a rock on top of a stick. It falls off, so he puts the stick on top of the rock. This works, and he seems very pleased with himself.

"What are you doing?" you ask him.

"I invent!" he says proudly, looking up at you. "I Ook! I great inventor!"

"Oh really? What have you invented?"

"I invent word 'inventor'!"

"I... see."

Ask him about the password

Leave him to his inventing

Ask about the password:

"Do you know anything about Cavedan's password?" you ask him.

"Yes!" he says proudly. "I invent password! Is thing you say to get in place! Keep out people who not know, like cave bear!"

"Nice one," you say. "How about telling me what the password actually is?"

Ook frowns at you. "Me think you not understand concept very well."

Offer to trade him something

Suggest a game of chance

Suggest a riddle contest

Leave him alone

Offer to trade him something:

"All right," you say, "how about we trade? If you tell me the password, I'll show you something new to invent."

"Hmmm," he says, thinking hard. "...Okay. What you got?"

Teach him the secret of fire

Secret of fire:

"Well, here's a pretty good one," you say. "Give me those two sticks."

You take the sticks, rub them together a little, and then light them with your cigarette lighter. "What do you think?" you ask.

Ook shrugs. "That just fire, we got that already." He holds up a bowl of little white things. "Got marshmallow too."

"Hmph," you say. "Well, give me a minute. I'll think of something."

You wander back out of the cave, grumbling.

Suggest a riddle contest

Ook the Mook "Okay, I'll tell you what," you say. "How about you ask me a riddle, and if I get it right, you tell me the password?"

"What a riddle?" he asks.

"Well, it's where you think of something, and tell me about it in an obscure way, and I try to guess what you're thinking of."

He sort of squints at you, thinking hard. "So, like... 'thing I cannot eat, teeth break, what up with that?'"

"Rrright. Except that one's maybe a bit too obvious. It's a rock."

"No."

"What?"

"Not rock," Ook says, apparently having just invented smugness. "You lose, ha ha! Is boulder!"

"That's the same thing," you protest.

"Not same at all! Boulder much bigger!"

"Ugh, fine," you mutter, as you stalk out of the cave, annoyed.

"Me Ook!" he calls after you. "Ugh is cousin!"

Suggest a game of chance:

"Okay," you say, "How about we play a game, and if I win, you tell me the password?"

"Ooh! That good! I like game," he says, grinning. "I invent game!"

"Did you? What's it called?"

"It called 'Rock Rock Rock'. Is real easy! We go 'rock rock rock shoot' and then you put out hand. Ready?"

You sigh.

"Ok, here go! Rock rock rock shoot!"

Rock

Rock

Rock

Rock:

You both throw 'rock', not unexpectedly.

"We tie!" Ook says. "We go again!"

Ugh, fine.

No thanks.

Eventually you get tired of the infinite loop and click "no thanks":

"Uh, no, that's okay. I'll see you around later," you say as you leave, "Good game, though."

"Next I invent 'points'," Ook nods excitedly.

Frequency

This appears to occur more often with the time-twitching toolbelt equipped. Looks like every 17-19 adventures instead of 20. --Baltar (talk) 02:19, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
