  > look at your surroundings
  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  The display case contains nothing.
  
  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 a handful of barleycorn, a pan of risen dough, a pan of risen dough, a pan of risen dough, a pan of unrisen dough, a pan of unrisen dough, a pan of unrisen dough and four metal pans.
  
  Behind the counter is a strong box with a narrow slot to catch your earnings.
  
  You can also see shmokey420 and MysticMegan95 here.
  
  shmokey420 presents you with a handful of barleycorn and flashes majestically while leveling up! Quest Completed!
  
  shmokey420 receives 3 copper coins for their effort!
