> You stand in front of a big door with the letters "POST CLOSED." on them. You are wearing a pair of wool trousers and a sweater that is FAR To large. You have a piece of flint in your pocket. Around you, there are damp, stone walls.
>Gender? Name? Sepulchritude?
>You have a feel between your legs. Oh hey, your a dude.
>You think... and think... you remember your name! It's Bob McSteelness!
>Bob McSteelness cancels think: Does not understand command.
>Bash in door with skull.
>You bash the door in with your skull. You have a headache now. The door still stands.
>A voice speaks from behind the door. 'Go away! The post is closed!"
>I said bash in door with skull and i meant it.
>You keep bashing the door in with your skull. Just when you feel like your going to fall unconscious, the door opens. A dwarf is standing on the other side.
"What ya want?"
>"Some asprin."
>The dwarf smiles.
"But of course. Come in."
The dwarf leads you through a corridor. Sounds of feasting and celebration can be heard on the other sides of many, many doors that flank you as you walk through the corridor. The dwarf stops at a certain door. You cannot hear anything from the other side.
"There's asprin in that room."
You notice there is a lever next to the door.
>Quickly shove the dwarf into the room and pull the lever. WHILE WHISTLING.
>You shove the little bearded man into the room and pull the lever. You hear a faint scream and then a whoosh. A warm glow emits from the other side of the door. You do this all while whistling.
A door opens next to you. A dwarf stares at you askingly from the porch of said door. You keep whistling.
The dwarf joins in with the whistling and you find yourself whistling "gold gold gold". After a satisfying session of whistling, the dwarf closes the door, leaving you alone in the corridor.
+1 whistle skill.
> Whistle "Can't Buy me Love."
During the second chorus, kick door open.
> You kick the door open.
"I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love."
In front of you are a couple of dwarves busy training on a pump ( which is currently pumping nothing more then air ). They stare at you as you whistle "Can't Buy me Love.".
One of them claps but stops when he sees the others don't clap with him. One of the more muscled dwarves asks you what the hell you are doing and how you got here.
He also notes your song needs more cowbell.
>Requisition more cowbell.
>The dwarf beckons one of the other dwarves to go get a cowbell.
"He'll just be a minute. Stranger, what is your name, and how did you get here?"
That's where we were.
