TITLE: 		"MONASTRY"  -  [Have YOU said your prayers?]



================================================================

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: * You may not get through the level if you don't

read the "Before Playing ...." section below.

*This is a slightly improved version with a button problem that

was experienced when run in low res.08/24/97

================================================================

Setting/story: "Monastry" starts with you locked in a cell. Just 

outside your door is a knight. Engage him in combat and, in his death 

throws, he'll open the door to get at you. The rest is up to you. Get 

out of that most unholy complex.

*** HOW TO RUN MONASTRY *** (with the registered version of Quake)

	- you should allocate 12 megs to Quake & 16 is even better. 

	  Info on changing that is in your Quake>techinfo.txt 

	- copy monastry.bsp to quake\id1\maps (create the "maps" 

	  subdirectory under your "id1" directory if you don't 

	  already have one). Then to play....



START Quake...

THEN...pull down the console	(by using the ~ tilde key)

	

	]skill 0          <--- or 1, or 2   

	]map monastry

================================================================



BEFORE PLAYING PLEASE TAKE NOTE: 

* Visit all the 'crucified zombies', some have ESSENTIAL messages for 

you.

* When you get to the attic room (overlooking those gathered in the

church hall below) think carefully and MAXIMIZE the damage you do to

them. Later you'll be dealing with all those left in a rather confined

place. Very interesting but can be overwhelming if you don't do the 

above.

* At the start, to get out of the cell kill the knight in front of you.

In his death throws he'll open the door to get at you.

================================================================ 



* Other Info *

This is my 3rd level. Please let me know what you think of it and

feel free to offer any suggestions you may have.
