As you're wandering around the Haunted Gallery, you see an interesting painting, and decide to step back a few paces to get a better look at it. As you do, though, you bump into a suit of armor, and noisily knock it off of its pedestal into a heap of rusty parts. Embarrassed, you look around to see if anybody saw you. Some of the eyes in the paintings seem to be following your progress, but nobody important noticed.

You carefully reassemble the suit of armor, and man, are those pieces heavy!

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

You gain 230-325 Strongness.

Occurs at The Haunted Gallery (with ten-leaf clover in your inventory).

References

  • The line mentioning the eyes of the paintings following your progress is a reference to Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting, the Mona Lisa. To viewers of the painting, it appears that her eyes follow you around the room.
  • It's also a possible reference to dozens of fantasy/horror movies and cartoons, where certain paintings have holes cut in the eyes, allowing people to spy through them. The more immediate setting of the gallery would suggest the Mona Lisa interpretation, but Spookyraven Manor is just the sort of place for paintings with eyeholes.
