[Violet CLM]

Examine hole.

[Radium]

<b>You may have gotten the 6000th post, but I got the 6000th reply! AND page 151!

The hole appears to be gnawed through the wall. It is about three inches in diameter.

[Violet CLM]

This is one COOL mouse. Pity it's dead.

[Radium]

<b>Yes, yes it was. And yes it is.

[Violet CLM]

Remove mouse using any methods available.

[Radium]

<b>You reach in to get the mouse. As you put your hand around it, it shrieks in it's last bit of life, stabs its toothpick deep into your hand, and falls limp. You yelp a bit, waking Faw up, and quickly yank the toothpick out of your hand. Your hand is bleeding pretty bad, but you managed to get the mouse, at least.

[Xion]

<b>Pity on the mouse, pokey!</b>

Go: L33tz4n's courpse
Get: a single hair from L33tz4n's head
Tie Spoon to Araches' Staff using L33tz4n's hair
Retrieve Mouse

[Violet CLM]

Would Faw be able to heal very small areas with only one MP?

[Radium]

<b>No. That would complicate spellcasting quite a bit.

[Risp_old]

Use bookmark of eternity to block the bleeding.

[Xion]

Shove dead mouse in mouth.
Chew
Swallow

[Radium]

<b>Hm... technically, the bookmark should still be with Uberbob, since only he can move it.

Eating a raw mouse you found in a wall could potentially be quite dangerous. Or mean to Faw, who's standing next to you.

[Violet CLM]

Remove mouse's teeth. Take teeth.

[Risp_old]

Use Uberbob to stop the bleeding.

[Radium]

<b>You tear off a piece of Uberbob's cloak and bandage your wound. And, though it takes a while, you manage to tear out the poor, dead rodent's teeth. They look kind of like tiny rice.

[Violet CLM]

Enlarge the hole.

[Radium]

<b>The wall is too strong. And no, the teeth won't help. The mouse itself was just l33t.

[Violet CLM]

Use mouse to enlarge the hole.

[Radium]

<b>The mouse is dead.

[Xion]

take toothpick

[Violet CLM]

Use dead mouse to enlarge the hole.

[Radium]

<b>You take the toothpick.

The dead mouse is not capable of gnawing a hole for you.

[Violet CLM]

If we forget about the hole, will Faw eat it?

[Radium]

<b>Maybe.

[Violet CLM]

Peer down hole. Carefully.

[Blackraptor]

Sing sleep song to faw again. Wait.

[Radium]

<b>You carefully peer down the mousehole. It is too dark to see very far. And, now that I think about it, the lights in this room aren't even on. That makes it harder.

Faw is too hungry to sleep again.

[Blackraptor]

"Faw, if you fall asleep and regain all your MP I promise to buy you as many boxes of frosted flakes as you want!"

[Xion]

<b>"Faw," you address him, "if you fall asleep and regain all your MP, I promise to buy you as many boxes of frosted flakes as you want!"
"But I'm to huuuunngrryy to sleep D=," he responds.

[Xion]

Offer Faw the mouse

[Violet CLM]

Faw is afraid of the mouse.

[Radium]

<b>Bad purple.

Fawriel looks at the mouse. "It looks kind of bloody. Or diseased. Can we cook it?"

[Ekardnamal]

"Yes I do, Faw. I'm sorry. I'm just annoyed by hunger and that thing women get every month."

It's called a period, idiots!!!!! And it's a living hell every time you get it. Believe me, I know.

Anyway...

Say: "Hopefully, we'll be able to cook it. Why don't you go find some firewood somewhere?"

[Radium]

<b>Ekard is female?

"Hopefully, we'll be able to cook it. Why don't you go find some firewood somewhere?" you tell Faw. He looks around for a tree, then remembers that you're inside, and underground.

[Ekardnamal]

Yes, I am. I bet everybody here thought I was a guy... :) I can fool people well.

Say: Faw, if you rest, you can cast Raise on all the fallen party members, and then we can find food more easily. How about that?"

[Radium]

<b>"Faw, if you rest, you can cast Raise on all the fallen party members," you tell him, "and then we can find food more easily. How about that?"
"I'm too hungry to cast spells D=" he replies.

Let me throw out a bit of a grammatical question here: does a smiley face count as an ending punctuation, or does one go after it?

[Ekardnamal]

[Radium]

<b>You walk south. This room is brightly lit and has three exits - north, east (the only path not lit), and west. There is a lever in the middle of the room.

<b>You don't have sticks. And only one free hand, from holding a mouse next to a lightbulb.

<b>You put down the spear and cut off a lock of hair. "Here," you say, handing it to Fawriel, "use this as some kindling." He puts the hair on the wood pieces and continues to rub them together.

[Violet CLM]

@Ekard: We all know that. However, we don't want to scare Faw with big words, and it gets referred to as "that time of month" a lot anyway. Your complaint is somewhat similar to saying "It's called Frostbiter, not Ice!".

[Radium]

<b>After about fifteen minutes, the mouse starts to sizzle. Fawriel is still rubbing the wood together.

<b>You stare at the mouse half. It's quite small, about two inches long. It looks mutated and burned.

<b>About two inches long. Maybe an inch or more wide.

[Radium]

<b>Fawriel is not quite stupid enough to fall for that. "YOU eat it first," he says.

[Violet CLM]

Eat mouse half.

[Radium]

<b>You reluctantly take a bite of the mouse. It's quite sinewy, and you have to spit out a lot of tiny bones, but it feels quite good eating food again. Fawriel nibbles merrily on his, following your example, only more fawishly.
