One Nightstand

In the Haunted Bedroom, you encounter an ornately carved nightstand.

What would you like to do with it?

---

Open the top drawer

In the top drawer of the nightstand, you find a stack of Meat. It's always weird to see old Meat, because it's a different color than new Meat, but, y'know, it spends just as well, so you're not complaining.

You gain 400−600 Meat.

While on the Way of the Surprising Fist path, the meat is donated to charity instead, with this message:

You find some Meat in the top drawer of the dresser and joy fills your heart.

Joy at the prospect of helping the needy!

Which you do, by giving them the Meat you just found.

---

Open the bottom drawer

In the bottom drawer of this nightstand you find a hardcover book -- one of those long, dry fantasy novels. Y'know, the kind that read like a cross between a fairy tale, a history book, and the Bible?

You flip through it, absorbing some of the knowledge, but unable to resist skipping the boring parts (and the ten-page songs.)

You gain 50-250 Wizardliness.

---

Look behind the nightstand

• Before finding spectacles:

You look behind the nightstand, and find an old pair of glasses. They must've fallen back there and gotten lost.

You acquire an item: Lord Spookyraven's spectacles

• After finding spectacles:

There's nothing else back there -- you have thoroughly looted the booty the backside of this nightstand has to offer.

---

Look under the nightstand

You root around under the nightstand and find a disposable camera. Hrm. You're gonna go ahead and assume that this was left behind by some teenage ghost hunters, and not an original feature of the bedroom.

You acquire an item: disposable instant camera

---

Occurred at The Haunted Bedroom (OLD).

Notes

• Lord Spookyraven's spectacles are a one time drop. Looking behind the nightstand again does consume an adventure.
• The actual stats gained from opening the bottom drawer will be equal to your unbuffed mainstat plus one, minus 0 to 6.

References

• The message about the old meat being different in color from the new meat may be a reference to the redesigned United States $10, $20, and $50 bank notes, which are different in color from the original notes. It may also be a play on the fact that meat (with a lower-case m) changes color when exposed to air while uncooked and when it decomposes.
• The fantasy novel in the bottom drawer could be almost anything, if it wasn't for the note about "ten-page songs" which clearly makes it be The Lord of the Rings.
• The title of this adventure is a pun on the phrase "one-night stand"
• The booty (in the third choice, after getting the spectacles) is a play on the backside of the night stand. Booty is typically the backside of a person.

History

• The fourth choice, Look under the nightstand, was added with The Palindome revamp on February 28, 2014.
• Was replaced with One Ornate Nightstand in the Manor Revamp.
