Either Ore

You wander down a side passage in the Mine and find some kind of Dwarvish game show going on. A genial host smiles blankly at a fixed point ahead of him, while three dwarves stand behind podiums behind him.

"Welcome back to Geo-Parody!" he says. "As a reminder, our prize this evening is one each of all three ores that are mined in this mine! Mind you, the final Geo-Parody question is going to be difficult. Here it is: 'Where are you right now?'"

As it turns out, none of the dwarves can correctly answer the question. It looked like the heavy-set bald guy was going to get it, but it turned out his answer was "I <3 Boobs."

"Well, since none of the contestants could correctly answer an incredibly simple question, we'll just award the ores to a member of our studio audience!"

Since you're the only member of the audience, you get the ores. Lucky you!

Your ten-leaf clover disappears in a puff of smoke.

You acquire an item: linoleum ore
You acquire an item: asbestos ore
You acquire an item: chrome ore

Sometimes occurs in Itznotyerzitz Mine with a ten-leaf clover in your inventory.

Notes

  • You will get either this adventure or the A Real Gem adventure when adventuring in the Mines with a clover.

  • The "I <3 Boobs" line comes directly from the SNL sketches. The impersonated celebrities were supposed to write down where they were. Sean Connery's answer was revealed to be "InDOORS", a seemingly correct answer. When the suprised Alex Trebek asked for the wager to be displayed, it was revealed that the "InDOORS" was not actually an answer--it was only the top half of the sentence "I (heart sign) BOOBS".
