Section - Machete

The petter-machete is in MGR3a. The petter-machete can be petter-sharp or petter-dull. The petter-machete is petter-dull.

Instead of tasting the petter-machete when the location is a petter-room:

say "It has the metallic taste of rust."

The printed name of the petter-machete is "[if the petter-machete is petter-sharp]sharp[otherwise]dull[end if] machete". The initial appearance of the petter-machete is "A strange rootlet-covered wooden handle sticks out from the rubble of roots and twisted metal."

Instead of examining the petter-machete when the petter-machete is not handled:

say "It is hard to tell among the roots, but it looks like the handle of a knife. Perhaps it could be pulled out."

The description of the petter-machete is "The blade is long and rusty[if the petter-machete is petter-sharp], but the edge looks clean and sharp[end if]. The dirty wooden handle is still covered in a mesh of rootlets, providing a nice grip[if the petter-whetstone is not handled].[paragraph break]You wish you had something to sharpen it with[end if]."

Instead of taking or pulling or taking off the petter-machete when the petter-machete is not handled:

now the player carries the petter-machete;

say "You pull on the wooden handle. It gives an inch, and some of the roots that hold it snap. You pull again, harder this time, and with a metallic screech and a cloud of spores you find yourself holding a machete in your hand."

Does the player mean taking the petter-machete:

it is very unlikely.

Instead of rubbing the petter-machete when the petter-whetstone is enclosed by location and the petter-machete is handled:

try petter-sharpening the petter-machete with the petter-whetstone.

Instead of swinging or waving the petter-sharp petter-machete when the location is a petter-room:

if the location is MGR3f:

say "You swing the machete through the air but miss the birds.";

otherwise:

say "You take a wide swing with the machete[one of][if the location is MGR3 or the location is MGR3a or the location is MGR3b], slicing off a couple of roots. A milky fluid squirts from the cuts[otherwise], cutting off some of the weaker branches[end if][or][stopping]."

Instead of swinging or waving the petter-dull petter-machete:

say "You carelessly swing the machete through the air. Fortunately it is too dull to make any damage."

Understand "machete/rusty/blade/knife" or "wooden/-- handle" as the petter-machete.

Understand "dull" as the petter-machete when the petter-machete is petter-dull.

Understand "sharp" as the petter-machete when the petter-machete is petter-sharp.
