Midnight at the Train Station
The clock strikes midnight as you peer around the deserted train station.
Well, it's not entirely deserted. Some gingerbread workmen are busy laying a new line of tracks.
In the opposite direction from them is a train tunnel leading deep into the darkened underbelly of the city. It's dark and spooky, and you don't want to go into it.
Without a candy crowbar
- You notice a Currency Exchange office near the station's exit, but the door is locked.
Or, with a candy crowbar
- You notice a Currency Exchange office near the station's exit. The door is locked, but your crowbar would make short work of it if you were feeling thiefy.
If you have built a track and haven't used it yet:
It looks like there's a midnight train ready to leave on the new track you helped build.
| Help the men lay some track | (gain 500 Muscle) |
The men seem to appreciate the help, if the way they don't beat the crap out of you is any indication. The hours of sledgehammering and hauling heavy railroad ties provide a great workout.
| You 500 Fortitude. |
After (3?) times:
And hey, it looks like you managed to finish adding a new line to the subway system!
With a pumpkin spice candle:
| Explore the dark tunnel | [with your candle] |
You make it about a quarter of a mile down the tunnel before you are overcome with fear and have to turn around and run back out.
Unfortunately, you trip over something and hurt your knee.
Fortunately, the thing you tripped over looks valuable!
 | You lose 3 hit points. |
 | You acquire an item: broken chocolate pocketwatch |
With a candy crowbar:
| Break into the currency exchange | [with your crowbar] |
Leads to The Currency Exchange.
If you have built a track and haven't used it yet:
| Ride the midnight train |
You board the train, and as it leaves the station you realize it's headed directly for your campsite. That's... not actually all that useful, given that it's like a four minute walk.
As you're exiting the train, a fedora-clad gingerbread man mutters something at you under his breath.
"I beg your pardon?" you say.
"That was the correct countersign," he replies. He hands you a small envelope. You open it, and find...
 | You acquire an item: fruit-leather negatives |
With a teethpick:
| Dig with your teethpick |
You carve away at the deepest part of the station's floor with your teethpick. You eventually dislodge what looks like a sweet roll.
 | You acquire an item: green-iced sweet roll |
After 3 times:
You dig, ever deeper. You unearth a glowing green gem that -- no, wait, it's a piece of rock candy. Still glowing and green though.
 | You acquire an item: green rock candy |
After 6 times:
Deep within the hole you've been digging, your teethpick suddenly strikes a hard surface. You bang away at it until the pick breaks, but luckily the last stroke breaks through the surface and you fall through into a... starship?
You look around. Control panels. Weirdly-shaped chairs. A sign that says "SPACE RESTROOM" on a metal door. Yep, definitely a spaceship.
It seems entirely deserted, so you start going through space drawers and space lockers hoping to find some cool loot, and you do! You find a great gun, and you take it with you.
 | You acquire an item: sugar raygun |
Unfortunately, as you climb out of the shaft you dug you accidentally cause the whole thing to collapse.
Occurs at Gingerbread Train Station.
