One Ornate Nightstand

Choice adventure number: 878

One Ornate Nightstand

Having beaten it eight ways to Sunday, you cautiously approach the now-still nightstand.

---

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 ?-414-533-? 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 58-200 Magicalness.

---

Look behind the nighstand

First time

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

With Lord Spookyraven's spectacles already in inventory

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

---

Look under the nighstand

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

---

Use a ghost key

You stick the ghost key into the space between the now-dead nightstand and the spirit that once inhabited it. As the key turns, you experience an entire lifetime's worth of memories -- loves, losses, but mostly piles and piles of dusty old books. It's kind of a boring lifetime. As the key concludes its arc, it vanishes as you snap back to reality.

You gain 200 Wizardliness.

---

Ignore it

You decline to investigate the nightstand.
