The Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave Entrance (Disco Bandit)
You step into the cave and look around, which doesn't take very long. It's a much shallower cave than you anticipated, just barely deep enough that light from the entrance doesn't reach the rear wall.
As your eyes adjust to the dim light, you can make out some sort of engraving on the wall -- it looks like a circle with a grid of straight lines running across and down it.
Beginning to feel suspicious, you search the wall more carefully. Aha -- just as you expected, there's a fine seam running down one side of the wall. You don't find anything else unusual, though.
Obviously, this is a secret entrance. But how to open it?
- If you know Disco Eye-Poke
| Poke the wall in the... well, it doesn't have any eyes. |
You snap your fingers a few times, then rapidly poke at the wall. You try poking the little squares in the engraved circle, in case they turn out to be buttons, but they don't.
Basically, nothing happens.
Since that clearly didn't work, you decide you're tired of messing with this stupid wall; you further decide to stomp petulantly out of the cave and come back again later.
- If you know Deft Hands
| Open the wall with your deft hands. |
You crack your knuckles, and uh... run your hands over the wall. Deftly.
You don't find any hidden catches, latches, or buttons.

- If you know Overdeveloped Sense of Self Preservation
| Open the wall with your overdeveloped sense of self-preservation. Um... somehow? |
Your eyes dart around the little cave, searching the nooks and crannies for hidden enemies. You don't find any, and neither do you find anything that looks like it would help you open the door.

- If you know Disco Dance of Doom
| Perform a disco dance of doom. |
Oh yeah, you bust out your sweet dance moves. Bam! Uhn! Woo! You spin around on your heels and give the wall the double finger guns.
The wall does not react.

- If you know Disco Nap
| Take a disco nap until the wall opens. |
You settle down for a quick -- and extremely stylish -- snooze.
When you wake up, the wall is still closed.

- If you know Disco State of Mind
| Focus on your disco state of mind. |
You close your eyes and focus on the essence of disco that lives and thrives within you. The cocked hip, the polyester suit, the light-up dance floor, the shimmering disco ball...
There is a loud CLICK and the sound of stone grinding against stone, and the wall slowly swings open, revealing the entrance to an underground cavern.
| Enter the doorway. |
You step through the doorway, and down a narrow, sloping tunnel. Soon the tunnel opens into a large underground cave, lit here and there with phosphorescent fungi. The soft glow reveals long icicle-like stalactites and stalagmites, glittering crystalline formations, and other wonders of the underground world.
It also reveals two other things: a dark passageway on the other side of the cavern, and a number of large stumpy-legged mushroom creatures moving toward you with ill intentions in their beady little eyes.
Why isn't anyone ever happy to see you?
- If you know Disco Dance II: Electric Boogaloo
| Perform an electric boogaloo at the wall. |
BAM. You dance like nobody's watching, while simultaneously hoping everyone sees what a fantastic dancer you are -- a paradox maintainable by only the slickest of disco dancers.
Sadly, the wall is either not watching, or isn't impressed.
Since that clearly didn't work, you decide you're tired of messing with this stupid wall; you further decide to stomp petulantly out of the cave and come back again later.
- If you know Frantic Gyrations
| Frantically gyrate at the wall. |
You flail your arms, legs, torso, and hips at the wall like a centipede cheerleader in an earthquake. The wall is neither impressed by your movements, nor by that stupid metaphor.

- If you know Advanced Cocktailcrafting
| Craft some cocktails... at the wall? |
You shake up a few fancy cocktails and, not being sure what to do with them, splash them on the wall. It seems like a terrible waste.
Since the wall doesn't open, it is in fact a terrible waste.

- If you know That's Not a Knife
| Stab the wall with a knife. |
You whip out your knife and slash at the wall a few times. Eventually you stop, because nothing appears to be happening except your blade getting ruined.
Since that clearly didn't work, you decide you're tired of messing with this stupid wall; you further decide to stomp petulantly out of the cave and come back again later.
| Shrug your shoulders and leave. |
You can't think of anything that might convince the wall to open. With a shrug, you turn and head back out of the cave. Maybe the guy back at the guild will have some useful insight. I mean, you never know, right?
Occurs at The Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave Entrance.
Notes
- Choosing to shrug and leave does not cost an adventure.
- When you choose the correct skill, the Adventure Again link is labeled "Look around the Cave", and leads to The Dark and Dank and Sinister Cave.
