Turn Your Head and Coffin

You come to a corner of the Defiled Alcove where three coffins have been carelessly pushed against a wall. One is an ornate, jewel-ecrusted mahogany affair, the second is a simple, cheap-looking pine box, and the third is just a garden-variety coffin. Which is to say that it's like a garden that has just been watered. Which is to say that it's wet.

Each of the coffins appears to have already been broken into, so you figure there's no harm in checking out the contents.

You open the fancy coffin, and find it to be empty. There's not even a pillow inside! The thought of this fills you with rage, and you pound the coffin to powder with your bare hands. Then you calm down and leave.

You open the pine box, and find a huge stack of Meat!

You're confused for a while, but then you remember seeing something in the paper about a notorious thief who has been active in the Kingdom lately, who steals from the graves of the rich and puts his loot in the graves of the poor.

You gain 200-300 Meat.

You open the lid of the wet coffin, and find out why it's wet -- some zmombie has been using it as a refrigerator, and it's full of brains!

You know something the zmombie doesn't, though, which is that coffins and refrigerators aren't the same thing at all.

Still, a half-rotten brain might come in handy for something, so you grab one to take with you.

half-rotten brain

You acquire an item: half-rotten brain

You decide it's not worth further defiling this alcove, and wander off.

Occurs in The Defiled Alcove.

• The "notorious thief" mentioned in the pine box option is a reference to Robin Hood, an archetypal figure in English folklore who stole from the rich and gave to the poor.
• This adventure is similar (although possibly not a reference) to part of the plot of The Merchant of Venice, in which suitors of Portia must choose from a gold, silver and lead casket to be able to marry her.
