+
+## Summary
+
+You're about to begin the adventure of a thousand steps with just one...`cd`? In our journey,
+we use different commands to walk around the world presented to us. In this short excursion,
+we'll learn a few of these including:
+
+### For movement
+
+> - `cd`
+
+### To interact
+> - `look`
+> - `talk`
+
+### To get and receive _things_
+> - `inventory`
+> - `get`
+> - `use`
+> - `info`
+> - `give`
+
+Each of these will give us abilities that help us negotiate the terrain around us
+or...just do _stuff_? Whether that stuff is important to you or not is something
+you'll have to figure out. There's a surprising lot to do with the list of commands
+above. 
+
+### About this adventure
+
+This particular adventure starts and ends in a dungeon that wasn't there yesterday. Surprising
+to be sure, but also _exciting_! What wonders lurk there? What challenges do you have to solve?
+What friends and allies will you meet? 
+
+This is the start of your time in `_Venture_`; go forth traveler, and explore!
