Chest Guy is the most complex scripted sequence in the Zork trilogy. (Although not Infocom’s first; Deadline was released before Zork 3.) It involves a chain of five timed events: I-MAN-APPEARS, I-MAN-PRESENT, I-MAN-RETURNS, I-MAN-LIFT, I-MAN-LEAVES. The sequence has to account for several off-ramps and end-conditions. (You could leave at any point, carry the chest away, etc.)

This is clearly supposed to be the action function for the CLIFF-BASE room. But the room is missing its ACTION property, so this code never runs.
The intent is apparently that if you leave the rope tied to the chest, Cliff Guy arrives, pulls up the chest in your absence, and absconds. The rope is gone. (To be really convincing, the chest should also be left open and empty in CLIFF.)
It’s not clear whether the developers forgot to test that outcome, or just decided it was too cruel and removed the code for it.

"Sacrificial Altar|
This is the interior of a huge temple of primitive construction. A few
flickering torches cast a sallow illumination over the altar, which is still
drenched with the blood of human sacrifice. Behind the altar is an enormous
statue of a demon which seems to reach towards you with dripping fangs and
razor-sharp talons. A low noise begins behind you, and you turn to see
hundreds of hunched and hairy shapes. A guttural chant issues from their
throats. Near you stands a figure draped in a robe of deepest black,
brandishing a huge sword. The chant grows louder as the robed figure
approaches the altar.
The large figure spots you and approaches menacingly. He reaches into his
cloak and pulls out a great, glowing dagger. He pulls you onto the altar, and
with a murmur of approval from the throng, he slices you neatly across your
abdomen.">)>>
