Sometimes you dream of adventure.

Sometimes you dream yourself as a crafty assassin or a dangerous spellcaster.

Occasionally, you even have the fever dream of leading your armies into charge against a horde of undead lich sorceror kings under a violent purple and amber sky filled with lightning.

Most days you squint that away and allow yourself a quick stretch before you get up in the predawn dusk to get the first batch of dough started.

This is the Shireton Bakery. This is where you, the Baker of Shireton, bake bread for all the citizenry of Shireton. This is a magnificent location: Right off the Shireton Towne Square, which is one step to the north.

The oven where you bake bread dominates a corner of the bakery out of reach of the clientele.

A highly polished wooden counter divides the room.

On the counter are a tip jar (empty) and a hand bell.

Everything you need to make dough (flour, water) is on your work table.

On the work table are ten metal pans.

Behind the counter is a strong box with a narrow slot to catch your earnings.
About yourself
You are the Baker of Shireton.
You check your inventory
You have in current possession:
an apron (being worn)
a baker's hat (being worn)
a quest to give
a song in your heart
a name response
a job response
You examine name
It's what you tell people when they ask your name.
You examine the job
It's what you tell people when they ask your job.
You remove the apron
You strip off the apron. Ah, now that is quite a bit cooler
and more comfortable, if perhaps a bit indecent. Surely there is some sort of Board of Baking Safety santitation code about this. For the time being, you enjoy the breeze provided to your nether regions.
You wear the apron
You put on the apron.
You look at the counter
A counter runs the length of the bakery, preventing the citizenry of Shireton from wandering back and incinerating themselves with the oven, or getting into your dough, or snooping in the back room. The display case currently contains nothing.

On the counter are a tip jar (empty) and a hand bell.
You examine the bell
That's for customers to ring for service when you're busy in the back room. It's made of silver and is inscribed RING FOR SERVICE
around the circumfrence.
You ring bell
"Ting-a-Ling!" goes the bell.
Look around

On the work table are ten metal pans.

Behind the counter is a strong box with a narrow slot to catch your earnings.
You examine table
Your work table contains all the basic ingredients to bake bread for the citizenry of Shireton: a sack of flour, and a pump that provides clean well water.

On the work table are ten metal pans.
You make the dough
Some flour, some water, some furious kneading by skilled baker's hands - and before you know it, you have a perfect ball of dough!

You mould the dough into a loaf and slap it into an empty pan.
You bake the bread
You open the oven.

You put the pan of unrisen dough into the oven.

You close the oven.
You examine the oven
This oven is your livelihood, your baby, and your pride and joy. It is where you bake bread for all the citizenry of Shireton. It can bake up to five loaves of bread at the same time! The iron door is firmly shut. It keeps the heat in the oven at the perfect temperature to bake bread, but cannot in any way possibly contain the sweet, delicious aromas of baking.
You go to the north
While you've wondered about the world outside your threshhold, and someday yearn to travel extensively and see the countryside, you aren't sure you can quite take that first step. It's almost like something unseen  is holding you back.
You drop the hat
(first taking the baker's hat off)
You lift your hat just long enough to cool your brow, then affix it firmly back on your head.
You drop the apron
(first taking the apron off)
A strongly-imposed sense of modesty prevents you from doing so.
You look at the quest
You really could use some barleycorn to make delicious barleycorn bread. Too bad the approaching raiders have cut off all supply channels.

It smells like the bakery: fresh linen, oak furnishings, baker's yeast, and the occasional whiff of nutmeg. You're not sure where the nutmeg comes from, since you haven't used nutmeg in nearly a year.
You make the dough
You furiously knead a ball of dough into the perfect elasticity.

You shape the dough into a loaf and lay it snugly in a pan. You give it a jaunty slap: Silky as a baby's skin.

This is the Shireton Bakery. This is where you, the Baker of Shireton, bake bread for all the citizenry of Shireton. This is a magnificent location: Right off the Shireton Towne Square, which is one step to the north.

The oven where you bake bread dominates a corner of the bakery out of reach of the clientele.

A highly polished wooden counter divides the room.

On the counter are a tip jar (empty) and a hand bell.

Everything you need to make dough (flour, water) is on your work table.

On the work table are ten metal pans.

Behind the counter is a strong box with a narrow slot to catch your earnings.

This is a mind-bogglingly huge storage space whose horizon falls off at the round edge of your perception. You could probably go any direction and no direction here at the same time. Flat representations of ten balls of dough, twenty loaves of barley bread, twenty loaves of wheat bread, twenty loaves of sourdough bread, twenty rock hard biscuits, a haze of acrid smoke, an aroma, fifty copper coins and a cursed pickle are both here and not here.

You can see a blue checked curtain here.

You enter back
You open the blue curtain.

This is a mind-bogglingly huge storage space whose horizon falls off at the round edge of your perception. You could probably go any direction and no direction here at the same time. Flat representations of six balls of dough, twenty loaves of barley bread, nineteen loaves of wheat bread, seventeen loaves of sourdough bread, twenty rock hard biscuits, a haze of acrid smoke, twenty-one copper coins and a cursed pickle are both here and not here.

This is the Shireton Bakery. This is where you, the Baker of Shireton, bake bread for all the citizenry (and adventuring visitors) of Shireton.

The delicious and alluring aroma of freshly-baked bread fills the entire bakery.

The oven where you bake bread hangs open, blasting heat into the bakery.

A highly polished wooden counter divides the room  The display case contains nothing.

On the counter are a tip jar (in which are nine copper coins) and a hand bell.

Everything you need to make dough (flour, water) is on your work table.

On the work table are four metal pans, thirteen copper coins, a pan of sour dough, a pan of sour dough and a pan of sour dough.

of your life."

You examine the dough
It seems to be an unrisen dough, and it's rather unrisen dough-shaped and sized, with a distinctly unrisen dough-esque styling and vibe to it.

Go north
You have to squint in the sun...you've never been through that door! Everything is SO BRIGHT!!!

All the roads come together in the middle of the huddle of buildings that make up the tiny hamlet of Shireton. The road out of town leads north through a wintry, rocky mountain pass. The Bakery is just to the south.

It may not be much, but it's a change of scenery and SO BEAUTIFUL! This is the most attractively bedraggled huddle of buildings you've ever seen! And the Wintry Rocky Mountain Pass is the most scenic Wintry Rocky Mountain Pass you've ever seen! And there's a little stone construction with a tiny figure of a man on top and WATER COMES OUT OF IT! What sorcery is this?

Okay. Calm down. You don't need to freak out like it's your first day. It's a tiny town. Your home. You live here. You pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming.

The Shireton Metalsmith complex squats to the east, sporting several variously pitched rooflines and emitting smoke from two chimneys.

The Shireton Tavern and Inn presents a neat facade facing the Towne Square to the west.

A picturesque fountain gurgles in the middle of the square.

A Narvish Raider waits patiently.

You can also see a white robed citizen, AnUUsSpOoPy69, a green robed citizen, a Shireton Harbourmaster, a moss robed citizen, a red robed citizen, a yellow robed citizen, a purple robed citizen and an AoA-ModGM AustinT. here.

The Shireton Metalsmith works industriously over a hot fire, clanging glowing iron with a hammer.

You can also see a red curtain, a Wretched Wobblyhandle Pewter Dagger of the Noob, a Vanquishing Godly Platinum Longsword of the Unicorn and a Wretchedly Constructed Scrap Tin Chainmail of the Noob here.

[5:57 pm:18|599163]  doug2008 : Name?

Something is on fire in the oven, you're sure of it.

The Harbormaster continues: "... While luncheoning with the Queen
of Aeons ... and ran into a whole host of zombies ... snared us in a trap ... we fought em back as valiantly as we can, losing brave Pegleg Timmy."

You notice the red robed citizen suddenly bursting into a shower of experience points. The raider does a satisfied run in a circle.
Sing
Your lusty reel paints the air with melody:

"Oh I am the Baker of Shireton
And I bake bread because baking is fun
For just a coin I'll bake some bread
And I'll be the Baker until I am dead!"

"A delicious loaf of wheat bread, please!" requests the moss robed citizen.

The red robed citizen arrives from the north.

[5:57 pm:26|947499]  doug2008 : Anyone reading this?

A curl of evil black smoke makes its way out from behind the oven door and up to the ceiling. Not good.

The Harbormaster concludes: "And the moral o' that story is:
water from a cursed well and skeletons cause you to wake up with mysterious bruises."

Milestones
The milestones you have encountered so far include:

Shanked by a Raider
Bob's Uppance
Bakery Inferno

Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT, UNDO the last command or review the MILESTONES you've seen so far?
You enter back
You open the blue curtain.

This is a mind-bogglingly huge storage space whose horizon falls off at the round edge of your perception. You could probably go any direction and no direction here at the same time. Flat representations of ten balls of dough, twenty loaves of barley bread, twenty loaves of wheat bread, twenty loaves of sourdough bread, twenty rock hard biscuits, a haze of acrid smoke, an aroma, fifty copper coins and a cursed pickle are both here and not here.

You can see Bob the Hobo, a ~Baker_of_Shireton_0912 and a blue checked curtain here.

Bob has respawned. "Well, that was annoying. The idea of slippin'
me a finn, I'll tell you!" He looks around. "What's this
place?"

"...deedle deedle deedle..." croaks ~Baker_of_Shireton_0912.
You get the route
"Oh, hush up finally," you say, tearing the fat heel of a spare loaf and shoving it in his mouth. "Sustain that!" you add, claiming Bob's patrol route, and assuring yourself that yes, indeed, that was a witty parting shot.

"Ngglff! Mmnghhhllhghh!" proclaims Bob around a mouthful of bread crust.

"...noony noony noooo..." croaks ~Baker_of_Shireton_0912.
Go north
You walk a ways, but the floor is so clean you can't tell if you're actually getting anywhere.

"Ngglff! Mmnghhhllhghh!" proclaims Bob.
Go outside
You open the blue checked curtain.

This is the Shireton Bakery. This is where you, the Baker of Shireton, bake bread for all the citizenry (and adventuring visitors) of Shireton.

The oven where you bake bread dominates a corner of the bakery out of reach of the clientele.

A highly polished wooden counter divides the room.

On the counter are a tip jar (empty) and a hand bell.

Everything you need to make dough (flour, water) is on your work table.

On the work table are ten metal pans.

Behind the counter is a strong box with a narrow slot to catch your earnings.
Go north
You have to squint in the sun...you've never been through that door! Everything is SO BRIGHT!!!

All the roads come together in the middle of the huddle of buildings that make up the tiny hamlet of Shireton. The road out of town leads north through a wintry, rocky mountain pass. The Bakery is just to the south.

It may not be much, but it's a change of scenery and SO BEAUTIFUL! This is the most attractively bedraggled huddle of buildings you've ever seen! And the Wintry Rocky Mountain Pass is the most scenic Wintry Rocky Mountain Pass you've ever seen! And there's a little stone construction with a tiny figure of a man on top and WATER COMES OUT OF IT! What sorcery is this?

Okay. Calm down. You don't need to freak out like it's your first day. It's a tiny town. Your home. You live here. You pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming.

The Shireton Metalsmith complex squats to the east, sporting several variously pitched rooflines and emitting smoke from two chimneys.

The Shireton Tavern and Inn presents a neat facade facing the Towne Square to the west.

A picturesque fountain gurgles in the middle of the square.

A Narvish Raider waits patiently.

You can also see MysticMegan95, a red robed citizen, a green robed citizen, a yellow robed citizen, a moss robed citizen, a purple robed citizen, a white robed citizen, a Shireton Harbourmaster and an AoA-ModGM AustinT. here.

[6:00 pm:6|905343]  MysticMegan95 : Name?

[6:00 pm:6|908238]  AoA-ModGM AustinT.: Jon, is the baker supposed to be wandering around outside the bakery?
You go west
This is the Shireton Tavern, where the Shireton Tavernkeeper serves ale to the citizenry of Shireton, and provides convention gathering spaces and lodging for non-citizenry of Shireton. The Shireton Tavern is equipped as all medieval taverns are, with a polished bar across the room, giant kegs of ale ready to serve customers, and a twee lute-and-fife tune playing everpresently from an invisible source. This is a spectacular location: just off the Shireton Towne Square, which is one step to the east.

A raucous gathering seems to be happening in the secondary room to the south.

The Tavernkeeper holds dominion over his bar, wiping the already shiny surface and looking for any sign of wanting from the regulars who frequent the place.

On the polished bar is a mug of ale.

Some appropriately medieval music fills the air.

You can also see a purple curtain here.
You examine the purple
A purple curtain hangs over the door to the back room behind the bar.
You open the curtain
You open the purple curtain.

You catch a snippet conversation from the south: I'll go with ye
and protect ye fer ten coppers!
You go south
"Hey!" shouts the Tavernkeep. "You can't go in there!"

"But, I need to recruit a bodyguard!" you try to explain.

"You're not supposed to be able to go in that room until I tell you about its existence!" insists the Tavernkeep. "You know how this works, Baker! Ask me about RUMORS!" he says, tapping the bar.
You ask the bartender about the rumors
The Tavernkeep looks up from his very important bar surface polishing and regards you keenly.

"I heard a rumor that the more coins there are on the bar, the better rumors you get!" quips the Tavernkeep.
You check your inventory
You have in current possession:
a patrol route
an apron (being worn)
a baker's hat (being worn)
a name response
a job response

Your heart seems to be a bit emptier...hey. Are you missing some stuff? Perhaps you'd ought to have a look around for it. Hopefully nobody looted after that fire you set off.
Go east
The Tavernkeep returns to polishing the cleanest counter in town.

All the roads come together in the middle of the huddle of buildings that make up the tiny hamlet of Shireton. The road out of town leads north through a wintry, rocky mountain pass. The Bakery is just to the south.

The Shireton Metalsmith complex squats to the east, sporting several variously pitched rooflines and emitting smoke from two chimneys.

[6:02 pm:11|466356]  AoA-ModGM JonE.: Negative, I don't think the Baker should even have permissions to leave that room.

[6:02 pm:11|466396]  AoA-ModGM AustinT.: Ten four, I got him.
You are overwhelmed by the presence of someone who has limitless power... You are picked up...and set down...and during that you see things you probably shouldn't...things that have the capability of breaking your tiny mind...
