Go up to a solitary goop man and punch him in the face
You walk up to a goop man 1.5 times your height, since he is the only solitary one here, and swing toward his face.

It takes a jump and an overhead swing, but you manage to bury your fist in his head, clutching at the token of gray held within, then yanking it out, feeling like a mighty warrior as you do so.
[Tall Goop Man's endurance roll: 2]
The goop man stumbles off, its topmost parts beginning to melt off. It sinks to its knees, at your mercy, which you find a little odd. Why didn't he fall apart? Does he have more tokens in him? You hope he has more tokens in him!
Current tokens of gray: 2!
Affluence rating: lucky peasant!Stargazer turns to ShTAN. "SO, would you say you are FINISHED abjuring US?"
If he indicates that he is, Stargazer shall grab and take with her the carafe and the plates and head back through the exit to the Forbidden Hermitage.
((Are the plates glass?))
"Quite so! If you wish to leave, feel free."Feeling free indeed, you do so - you find yourself back on the original walkway. Since there is nothing to see here, you move on down to the Paradise of Fleshy Pleasures, which appears to be a strange fleshy, wobbly platform, upon which stands a glass sphere in an alien arm, a ruined grayish onion thing, a very comfortable armchair and a featureless mound with several indentations in the flesh around it. A nearby green gateway rotates around the platform at a very manageable speed.
"HEAR THE WORDS OF RADIX THE OMNISCIENT! KNOW THAT YOU ARE LATE TO THE FESTIVITIES! THE OTHERS HAVE TAKEN THEIR FILL AND MOVED ONWARD! BUT YOU MAY STILL ENJOY THE VISISPHERE AND THE ARMCHAIR BEFORE YOU GO ON TO THE CONDUIT OF THE SKIES!"Try to shoot it off.
[Your accuracy roll: 3]
You fire your last shot at the snake-thing, and... you think you glanced something, but you can't really remember what it is. You seem to be in no more danger, though you are conspicuously out of ammo now. Wonder if you can get a refill.
To the Festering Pit of Sin!
You move on to the Festering Pit of Sin, which you notice to be a series of catwalks laid out in three connected floors, hanging above the Festering Pit of Sin while suspended by nothing at all, where you know for a FACT that the powers of unadulterated sin can be obtained. The top floor is currently occupied by you, Starn and Redshirt. Starn's standing in place looking absent-minded, while Redshirt appears to be flopping around like a fish.
Below this floor is another catwalk, that one occupied by a Mighty Teflon Slug, the creature that makes surfaces it crosses nearly frictionless! And you suspect it's crossed a certain proportion of the floor already.
And below even that is the Dreaded Smile, a smiling bouncy sphere of yellow that does not do much in particular except bounce into its friends. You know for a FACT that you are one of its best friends, simply because it has not seen you before.
((Sorry about that,I just don't really "feel" this RtD,I'll chalk it up to being too ridiculous/confusing.))
Well, I can certainly understand that. But the confusion is certainly an intended part of it, sadly.
