Intro
CJ: According to ancient legend, there was once a grand and beautiful city called Ursulab. It disappeared without a trace centuries ago. The search continues, even now...

(Post-intro)

CJ: If you want to help find the city of Ursulab, enter your name below. If you've been here already, just click on your name. Then click on the pen to get started.

(If the player remains idle)

CJ: When you finish typing your name, just click on the pen!

CJ: Hey, if we don't get a move on, someone else might find the city of Ursulab before we do! Come on!

Opening Cutscene
CJ: At last!

CJ: Can I get a light over here?

Edison: Here you go, CJ!

CJ: We found it! The sacred tablet of the lost city of Ursulab. I can't believe it...

Edison: That's just great!...now, can we get out of here? This place gives me the creeps!

CJ: [chuckles] Alright Edison, my faithful chum.

CJ: So many scientists and archaeologists have searched for the city, and the legends all say that this very tablet holds the answers!

Edison: I'm happy for you, CJ...still, I think we could study the tablet better at home.

CJ: We're so close, Edison - hey!

Edison: Oh no!

Dr. Listick: And now I've got the key to finding Ursulab...right here in my hands!

CJ: Dr. Listick! My evil arch-nemesis...you'll never get away with this!

Dr. Listick: Oh, but I already have.

Edison: Why I ought to-

Dr. Listick: You ought to simmer down, foolish firefly!

Dr. Listick: There's nothing you can do. You see, I've got the tablet. I will find the lost city of Ursulab and all its treasures! And you will be forever trapped in this ruin...one might say, you're ruined!

Dr. Listick and Stanley: [laughing]

Dr. Listick: [cries out in surprise and pain] Oh, you clumsy oaf!

Dr. Listick: Goodbye CJ...I'm off to find the lost city of Ursulab. I hope you enjoy oblivion!

Playing the activity for the first time
CJ: Could we get some light in here?

CJ: Looks like we're trapped, Edison, old sport, unless we can find a way to climb out.

Edison: Oh sure! Like that'll happen.

CJ: Chin up, chum! I think I've just figured a way out. See all those words? Many ancient civilizations, particularly the Ursulabians, were big on alphabetizing things. I'll bet if we alphabetize those words, we'll able to open the door and climb out!

Edison: You mean there's hope?

CJ: I've got to climb by the heads near the words in alphabetical order while avoiding the obstacles. Use your arrow keys to move me from word to word in the correct alphabetical order, and press the spacebar if you need to jump.

Returning to the activity
CJ: Back again! I guess some people just can't get enough alphabetizing. Oh well, let's get to it!

Edison: Oh dear. Have we learned nothing from the past?

Getting a wrong word
Edison: Whoops! I guess that wasn't alphabetical order.

Hitting an obstacle
CJ: Yikes!

CJ: Oops!

CJ: Watch out!

After alphabetizing all of the words
Edison: Well, that's all of them! Head on up to the exit door!

Completing the activity for the first time
Edison: Well, that was a nasty scrape, but at least we can go home now!

CJ: Not so fast, Edison. The piece of the tablet Listick dropped has markings that are similar to ones I've seen at Machu Picchu. We must go there first!

Visiting for the first time
Tapir: [To two vultures] Please, leave me alone!

Edison: What on earth is that creature?

CJ: Edison, that's a tapir. Be nice, they're endangered.

CJ: Um, excuse me. We're looking for the lost city of Ursulab. Can you help us?

Tapir: Thank goodness you're here. I've been waiting and waiting for someone to arrive.

Tapir: [to the vultures] See? I told you I was here to do a job!

Tapir: I hope I can remember what to do...oh, yes! You have to try to solve the puzzle first. Then I can show you how to get to the jewel room!

Returning
CJ: Hi! We're back again...I'm afraid we need some more jewels.

Tapir: Not a problem, not a problem, I can get you there no problem! Do you want to try the puzzle first? Then click on the step pyramid. Or you can go straight to the jewel room by clicking on the ruins. If you have time, click around my beautiful home.

Instructions
Tapir: Look in this puzzle. You'll find words that fit the clue. To select a word, click on its first and last letter. To deselect a word, click on its first letter again. You will need to find three words.

After completing the puzzle for the first time
Tapir: Great work, friends! Now I can show you how to get to the jewel room.

Playing the activity for the first time
Tapir: You've got to cross the chasm to get to the jewel room.

CJ: That sounds simple enough, come on Edison!

Tapir: Stop, it's not that simple!

Tapir: On the mountainside, you'll see part of a compound word. You'll have to hop on the word that combines with the word on the mountain to form a compound word.

CJ: A compound word is made up of two words which are put together to make a new word.

CJ: Use the up and down arrow keys until I'm in front of the stone on which you want me to hop. Then, press the right arrow key, and I'll jump.

Tapir: And watch out for traps. There are those that want to stop you in your quest.

Edison: Traps? Oh, great! I'll just fly over and meet you on the other side, CJ!

Completing the activity
CJ: We made it! Now we must go to the jewel room. Until next time, Tapir my friend!

Tapir: Until next time...I won't forget you!

Jewel Rooms
(First time visiting)

CJ: We made it, Edison!

Edison: Yes indeedy do...but I don't see any jewels anywhere.

CJ: Hold on there, chum. Did you expect to find them lying around like rubbish? Click on one of those doors to find a jewel!

(Collecting a jewel)

Edison: Just one? It seems such a waste.

CJ: We'll be back for the others. Don't you worry! Now click on the field book so we can decide where to go next!

First encounter with Listick
CJ: Listick!

Dr. Listick: CJ, how nice to see you. I appreciate all your hard work, but I'm afraid I'll be the one leaving with the shiny diamond.

CJ: You talk tough for someone who doesn't even have the jewel in his possession yet!

Dr. Listick: Touche. Yes, it seems we'll have to play a little game to retrieve the jewel. Fortunately, I'm quite handy at building words.

CJ: We'll see about that!

CJ: A series of letters will appear on the panel there. Taking turns, we will each place a letter on the grid until one of us spells a word. For each word we spell, we will rise closer to the jewel. The first one to spell three words wins the jewel!

Dr. Listick: And may the best beast win!

First win
Dr. Listick: I'll get you next time, frog!

CJ: I've got the diamond! Let's go back to Stately Frog Manor and study these artifacts more closely.

First time visiting
CJ: Ah, Stately Frog Manor! It's good to be home again.

CJ: [Tries to unlock the door with his key] My butler, McCloud, has changed the locks again! He does this every time I leave the house!

CJ: [Knocks on the door] McCloud! It's CJ and Edison! Let us in!

CJ: Oh, there you are McCloud! Please, let us in. We have an ancient artifact we need to study!

McCloud: Not so fast! How do I know you are whom you claim to be?

CJ: McCloud, we've been through this a million times!

Cutscene
Edison: [To McCloud] You missed a spot.

CJ: Heidi-ho, everyone!

CJ: I'll just leave these here while we try to figure out what to do next. Maybe there's something we overlooked.

McCloud: [Sighs] I just cleaned over there.

McCloud: There, that's better.

CJ: McCloud, what have you done?

McCloud: I was only tidying up, sir.

The First Elder: Who has called me from this cramped, stuffy jewel?

CJ: Um...I guess I did.

The First Elder: Oh! Well, you're not exactly what I pictured our hero to look like, but thank you, just the same.

The First Elder: Now, if you don't mind, you'll have to find the other elders. I'm sure they're anxious to get out of their diamonds too. Besides, if you have any interest in finding the lost city of Ursulab, you'll need all of the jewels. It's the only way.

CJ: Ursulab! I knew I was on the right track. But, how do I find all these jewels?

The First Elder: I put a map of the five secret sites in your field book. You must visit these sites in order to find the diamonds. But, of course, the diamonds are useless without power.

The First Elder: First, find nine rubies to place in the tablet around each diamond. You have the tablet, don't you?

CJ: I have part of the tablet.

The First Elder: That will have to do for now. Eventually, you will have to find the rest of it.

The First Elder: Oh! How inconvenient. My diamond is losing its power. I must return. Now, go find the others. Chop, chop!

CJ: Wait, I have so many questions about Ursulab!

Post-Cutscene
McCloud: Will you be expecting anymore "visitors", sir?

CJ: I sure hope so McCloud, but first we have to find them!

Edison: Diamonds and rubies! Now they're talking my language!

Edison: [Gasps] The rubies are gone!

Edison: [Hovers over McCloud] Nobody leaves this room until we find those gems!

McCloud: Just what exactly are you implying?

CJ: They weren't stolen, Edison. The rubies get used up when they energize the diamond! That's why we need to find new rubies for each diamond.

Edison: And where do we find all these rubies and diamonds?

CJ: [To the player] Click on the field book icon to look at the list of other sites the elder gave us!

Cutscene
Edison: I can't believe it's not butler. Ha! Get it?

McCloud: Very amusing.

CJ: Ah, I'm glad to see you two are getting along better. Alright, first we put the rubies around here for power...

McCloud: Please, mind the table! It's just been polished!

CJ: ...and the diamond goes here!

Edison: And then we get out of the way!

The Second Elder: Hey there, froggy. Thanks for getting me out of that jewel. It was a little tight in there, if you know what I mean. Have you found the others yet?

CJ: Not yet, but I'm working on it. There's still so much I don't know. For instance, who are you? And what happened to the lost city of Ursulab?

The Second Elder: I'm Josephus, but my friends call me Joe.

The Second Elder: Ursulab was ruled by five elders. I'm the handsome one! [chuckles] Our problems started when rumors spread that we had a hidden treasure in the city. Villains began plotting to rob us!

CJ: But what happened to the city? How did you get stuck in these jewels?

The Second Elder: Uh oh, sorry froggy. You'll have to save your questions for the next elder. I'm...running out of juice.

Cutscene
CJ: It's nice to be out of those dusty field clothes. Well, shall we see what the next elder can tell us?

The Third Elder: Wha...Hey, it happened! It finally happened! I'm out, I'm out! Yahoo!

The Third Elder: Whom should I thank? The fly? The frog? The duck?

McCloud: Duck!?

Edison: This guy doesn't seem old enough to be an elder.

CJ: Can you tell me what happened to the city of Ursulab? Was it invaded? Were you robbed?

The Third Elder: Were we robbed? Oh boy, were we ever!

The Third Elder: This army of nasty thieves surrounded the city. Those guys weren't messing around. They told us they'd burn the whole place down if we didn't give them everything in the treasury. We tried them that we don't have a treasury, but they wouldn't listen!

The Third Elder: As the elders, we knew we'd have to save the city. We turned ourselves into five jewels, and allowed the thieves to steal us!

The Third Elder: Oh, blast! I'm fading here. Look, the next elder will tell you the rest. I must leave. Goodbye, my friends.

Cutscene
The Fourth Elder: Very interesting...very interesting indeed. Are you some sort of amphibious creature?

Edison: I'll 'amphibious creature' you! CJ is a frog!

McCloud: Edison! Respect your elders!

CJ: Don't mind them. Listen, we've talked with most of the other elders, and there are still a few things I need to know. What happened after the robbers took the jewels out of the city?

The Fourth Elder: The city cannot exist without the elders, so, as the thieves carried us out past the city gates, Ursulab fell under a magic spell. The city and all of its inhabitants disappeared. It can only return when all five elders have been reunited.

CJ: And then the city will just appear? Just like that?

The Fourth Elder: I'm afraid it's not that simple. You'll have to rescue the last elder, and let him tell you what must be done next.

Ending Cutscene
Dr. Listick: [Laughs] Well Stanley, the stage is set for the final showdown!

CJ: The gig's up, Listick! Hand over the tablet, and my butler!

Dr. Listick: You're in no position to be making demands, frog. You can have your precious butler back when you hand over the rest of the tablet, and all of the jewels!

Edison: Don't do it CJ! I can clean as well as the next fellow.

CJ: Sorry Edison...but I have no choice!

Dr. Listick: That's a smart frog.

CJ: McCloud, are you okay!?

Dr. Listick: [Laughs] Just like taking candy from a baby! Stanley, place the jewels.

The Fifth Elder: He who summoned me must face one final test. The hand of the worthy one will fit in the print!

Dr. Listick: [Upon realizing he has no hands to place in the print, lets out a cry of frustration]

Edison: Go ahead, CJ. You try it!

[The city of Ursulab is restored and all the elders reappear]

CJ: You're all back! This is like a dream come true!

The Fifth Elder: Yes, and to show our appreciation, I would like to present you with a library card for the great library of Ursulab...for this is truly where all our riches lie.

The Fifth Elder: As for your "friends", I've made them some jewelry.

[Dr. Listick and Stanley are revealed to have been turned into jewel statues.]

CJ: Ah, Listick. What a gem of a guy.

The Fifth Elder: Well CJ, you've foiled the evil Dr. Listick, rescued all the elders, as well as your butler, and you've saved an ancient city! What are you going to do now?

CJ: I'm going to Ursulab!

First time accessing the field book
CJ: This must be the map the elder put in my field book! Click on one of the sites, and off we'll go!

Returning to the field book
CJ: We must make haste! Pick a site!

Clicking on icons
CJ: Ah...indeed. There's no place like home. Back to Stately Frog Manor, Edison!

CJ: Call me crazy Edison, but we're going back to the dig site!

CJ: Prepare the plane, Edison! We're off to Machu Picchu!

CJ: Ayers Rock awaits!

CJ: The Caves of Cumae it is!

CJ: Edison, warm up the submarine! We're off to Atlantis!

CJ: Power up the plane, Edison. We're flying to Egypt!

Ready to advance
CJ: Good show! Let's try level two!
