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.
| Investigate the fancy coffin |
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 gain 40-60 Strengthliness. |
| Check out the pine box |
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. |
| Look in the wet one |
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.
 | You acquire an item: half-rotten brain |
| Leave them all be |
You decide it's not worth further defiling this alcove, and wander off.
Occurs in The Defiled Alcove.
