One Nightstand (Ornate)

Choice adventure number: 84

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.

---

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 50-200 Enchantedness.

---

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.

---

Occurs at The Haunted Bedroom.

Notes

• Lord Spookyraven's spectacles are a one time drop.
• 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.
• 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.
