People, Places and Things
(Provided by Michael Taylor, from his notes for the ultimate
LOTL role-playing game he someday hopes to write)
"The Stranger"
01:20 An area of mist on the ground.
02:09 Large green and yellow striped melons as well as large
green
and dark green grapes.
02:17 There are large pomegranate/ persimmon red and dark red
fruits
here as well.
02:29 Rick calls this place the Arbor and indicates that they
already
know which foods are safe to eat.
02:38 Will and holly have burlap bags with shoulder straps they
use
to carry fruits in.
02:52 In the 'Arbor' area there is a cave (apparently
Enik's cave)
entrance. Two Sleestak are nearby.
04:00 After a couple of passages they come to a room that has
two
knee high crystals, one glowing green and one glowing red as
well as
a rock pedestal that has a glowing crystal suspended in a
triangle
frame (the Mageti). It glows brightly according to the anger in
the
room.
It also apparently gives Will and Holly the ability to
telekinetically push each other.
04:59 The cave apparently circles through two more passageways
to
come back on itself.
05:26 At least three Sleestaks live here.
05:34 Enik states that the Mageti is not so much a key as a
divining
rod.
05:41 Enik, who wears an orange sparkly tunic, a bracelet
seemingly
made of large red rubies and a necklace calls himself an
Altrusian.
He also says that he has fallen through a dimensional doorway.
06:41 The Mageti is a tool for travelling through the universe.
It
could also help the Marshals go home if Enik could find the
proper
coordinates.
07:21 Taking the Mageti by force could render the object
inoperative.
Enik says that "We" are the keepers of the time portal through
which
all travel is accomplished. The Mageti is an instrument to
locate and
fix all dimensional doorways so that these journeys can be
taken.
07:54 Rick determines that Enik is a Telepath.
08:37 The Mageti determines where and when all doorways shall
open.
It was therefore important that it has a self-destruct mechanism
that
responds to hostile and aggressive thoughts so that a warlike
race
intent on taking over other worlds through the doorways could
not
take it over.
It has a built-in telepathic amplifier that up to a point will
carry
out the hostile and aggressive impulses anyone near it is
thinking.
It's circuits would overload and it would cease to function if
someone tried to use this defensive mechanism aggressively.
09:45 Enik states that Altrusians are incapable of lying.
10:15 Enik states that he does not know the way to the Marshalls
world.
10:39 Enik states that the human race is inferior because they
are
quick to do battle and quick to destroy. So apparently Enik is
familiar with humans.
10:51 Enik states that anger is kept in check and this is why
his
race has endured so long and progressed so far.
11:03 Enik states that if it were not for an unknown disturbance
(perhaps the Marshals coming through the doorway?) he would be
with
his people now.
11:13 The necklace that Enik wears is a companion piece to the
Mageti. In conjunction with an external power source it could
serve
as a Mageti, though the power source would not be sustained for
long.
11:31 Enik states that the crystals are not jewels but forth-
dimensional nodes, the source of power.
11:43 Enik does not believe that it is possible to have these
crystals all over the place. Enik also does not know about the
Lost
City.
12:13 When the Marshalls take Enik to the Lost City, Enik says
that
he can keep the Sleestaks from attacking, but they do not listen
to
him.
12:45 Enik cannot believe that his Sleestak ancestors are not
violent.
13:31 Sleestak are lousy shots with their hand crossbow, but
they get
better.
13:43 Big Alice chases Sleestak out of the area outside the Lost
City.
14:13 Enik realizes that he went forward in time.
The Lost City
was 'his' city. Enik realizes that the Sleestak did not keep
their
anger in check and destroyed their future.
15:23 The Marshals help Enik find a room in the lost city that
has
walls lined with head-sized and fist-sized crystals in the wall.
16:42 Enik decides to warn his people that what lies
ahead is war and
destruction. He is non-refutable.
17:19 Enik can use one of the crystal tables to recharge
the Mageti's
companion piece.
18:05 Enik can apparently use his telepathy to cause
frightening
appearances in both Will and Holly. Will sees something
'terrible'
while Holly believes she is going to fall.
18:56 Enik attacks the Marshalls mind and brings up each
of the
Marshalls worst fears in a mist.
21:28 Enik tells Will and Holly to take two crystals from
the wall,
a blue and a green one. He states that touching them together
will
create a Force Field that lasts for a short amount of time (and
will
also cover Rick if he touches them).
Enik states that the Sleestak will not bother him.
22:08 The Force Field created by the Blue and Green
crystals give the
Sleestak a slight electric shock which drives them away.
