  > go downwards
  Screwing up your courage, you shinny down the rope.
  
  You're standing at the bottom of a pit, cut into the rock. The
  walls are solid bedrock, and quite sheer; you won't be able to climb up them. Luckily, a rope dangles down from above. Cutting this pit must have been a monumental task; obviously, this is no natural cavern.
  Only the ancient Ulians could have made such a hole - and only with magical help. Narrow, low passages runs southeast and northeast. A baby dragon lies at your feet, curled up and snoozing peacefully. I'd let sleeping dragons lie if I were you.
  
  > Go southeast
  You're standing in a strange, spherical room. The walls seem to
  glow with pale, bright shades of purple and blue - your lamp is not needed here. The curving floor and walls feel like slick metal underfoot, and you're having some difficulty maintaining your balance. Round tunnels, made from the same strange purple-blue metal, run north, south, east, and west. [22]  A more normal-looking passage, hewn from gray rock, runs northwest. In the center of the floor is a small, round chute. It vanishes into darkness a few feet below the floor.
  
  You're feeling really hungry. You should find some food soon or you'll pass out from lack of nutrition.
  
  > put the stone in the chute
  You drop the black stone in the chute. It tumbles down the steel shaft.

  > Note 23
  [23]: This is part of the infamous Wowsa Willy's Wizard Way, a not-maze. We at ADVENTIONS have taken to heart the public's dislike of adventure game mazes. THIS IS NOT ONE! If you're having trouble finding your way around, you're not doing it right. The same goes for the Bleak World - been there yet?

  > Inventory
  You have a robe (being worn), a thin wand, a pair of erasers, a jade figurine, a black stone, a spade, a pickaxe, a small cardboard box, a brown book, and a dragon's egg.
  
  > Drop book
  Dropped.
  
  You can't go much longer without food.
  
  > Go north
  As you step into the tunnel, something brushes past you, moving at
  the speed of light. "Hey, buddy!" a deep voice intones. "You're in the Way!"

  > Go west
  bedrock of the land. The walls are close around you, and tons of rock hang over your head. Luckily, enclosed spaces don't bother you - only heights do. Passages run north, east, and southwest. All are about the same width and height; none looks more well-traveled than any other.

  > look at what you're carrying with you
  You have a robe (being worn), a thin wand, a pair of erasers, a jade figurine, a black stone, a spade, a pickaxe, a small cardboard box, and a dragon's egg.
  
  > Go east
  You're standing in a circular room at the edge of a deep pit. A
  ledge runs around the room, above the pit. Being here makes your stomach churn; the pit's quite deep, and your fear of heights is as strong as ever. [7]  An iron hook is embedded in one of the walls.
  The only exit from the room is a passage back through the rock to the west. A long rope is tied to it, and the other end dangles down into the pit. Below, in the pit, is a baby dragon, curled up and fast asleep. Little puffs of smoke rise from its nostrils as the dragon exhales.
  
  You simply can't go on any longer without food. You perish from lack of nutrition.
