Posting the problem to the forum
helped me a lot, and it also garnered the usual comments about bad coding
techniques. I'll give you that, but I'm in a bit of an ideological war here
and unless I can reproduce the same results using a single line of code,
I'll lose this battle.

It sounds like the battle you should be fighting is not whether
free-form is better than classic RPG, but whether fewer lines of code
is always better. There are simply some things that free-form cannot
achieve in as few lines as classic (especially if you count the
D-specs required for set-up, which I think is fair when counting lines
of code), so you just have to accept those particular battles as lost.
Hopefully, the war is about overall readability and maintainability.
