Revision as of 13:34, 26 October 2005
As you're stumbling around in the dark, you find an alcove that is lit by a weird, phosphorescent glow. You see a pyramid in front of you built out of boxes of wine. Well, it's more of a ziggurat. Remind me to tell you my "ziggurat lighter" joke sometime.
As you watch, a freakishly deformed rat hops up and down the ziggurat. It has orange fur rather than brown, and its muzzle is stretched into a long, toothless snout. As you watch, pondering how a beneficent god could allow such a creature to exist, it falls off the ziggurat and vanishes below. You grab one of the wine cubes and leave before it comes back.
You acquire an item: boxed wineOccurs at The Typical Tavern (Pre-quest)
