    The crow shrugs his wings, and poos a 24ct gold nugget, which rolls along the seat towards you. The crow preens his feathers.

    Before long, you are flying over the residential suburbs of the metropolis. You can see small houses, shanty towns and municipal parks, people coming and going about their daily business, more taxis and hover-vehicles around you, and the business district to the North. You see a map on the folding seat in front of you, showing the layout of the city.

        The taxi driver looks hurriedly over his shoulder, negotiating heavy traffic at speed and says 'sir, if you mean what I think you mean, that's illegal in Cloud City, I'm not risking my licence, sir'. The crow flies out of the open window, narrowly missing a hover-concrete mixer.

            You read the map, it is a map of Cloud City.

            <Attempt to insert ASCII map failed>
            Basically, old town NE, business district NW, Suburbs SW, Slums SE, Power Station below the slums SE.

            You are in a taxi flying North over the business district, past tall skyscrapers and municipal parks.

              1) Pick up the 24 carat gold crow dung pellet
              2) Open door and jump, to avoid taxi fare

                You pick up the 24ct gold nugget and attempt to open the door, the door is locked. The taxi driver says 'Sir, if you want to get out just ask, but the fare is £15.50. Do you want a receipt?'

                  Ask to be taken to business district and say you want a receipt. Then slip on chameleon cloak when you get there and try to sneak out of the taxi without paying.

                    The taxi driver swings the hover-cab around and dives towards the business district, causing a pile-up in the process.

                    The taxi comes to rest opposite a large marble-lined piazza surrounding a small park, flanked by 3 tall glass-fronted skyscrapers to the East, North and West. A busy road runs East to West.

                    There is a small crowd of people, trolls and ninjas waiting by a bus stop here. To the South East is an upmarket-looking shopping centre, there is a bank to the South West.

                    You put the chameleon cloak on and attempt to get out of the taxi. The taxi driver says 'look, I'll give you a handful of blank receipts if you stop messing about and pay the fare, the doors are locked mate - sheesh, if it's not the ninjas it's wizards... I dunno', '£15.50 please mate'.

                    A hover-limousine floats by.

                    Several hover vehicles fall out of the sky, crashing onto the hover-limousine.

                      Accept blank receipts and pay taxi driver. Get out of cab and pull a glowing orb out of you pocket and hold it in front of ninja's and trolls. (while wearing cloak of course)
