Faw rubs some metal pieces on the wood also. Still, nothing appears to be happening.

... No, Radium. I'm not going to do your bidding, unless you bribe me to.

Say: "Faw, you can stop trying to make a fire. Go see if you can find anything interesting."

Oh, and pageclaim.

Say: "Skip it faw, Dinner's almost done. Maybe ten more minutes?"
Sniff the air

Where'd doing my bidding come from?

"Faw, you can stop trying to make a fire," you tell him, "dinner's almost done. Maybe ten more minutes."
Fawriel looks up at you with teary eyes. "Butbut but... you said it would make FIRE D'=," he says, "you LIED to me!"

The air smells like burning fur.

Action: Pat Faw on head
Say: "I didn't lie to you, it's just not working right now."

You pat Faw on the head. "I didn't lie to you," you assure him, "it's just not working right now."
"Will it work later? =3" he asks.

Say: "Maybe. It's late, so can you get to bed right after you're done eating?"

"You're so NINJACOOL," Faw says.

Mouse is done.

Feed Faw mouse.

You hand Fawriel the burnt mouse. He looks down at it, breaks it in half, and hands you a piece. Then he stares at it. It looks quite scary.

Stare at mouse half.

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

"I don't know about you, but I might actually sleep easier if I didn't eat this."

"I don't know about you," you say, "but I might actually sleep easier if I didn't eat this." You aren't quite sure if that is true, given how hungry you are.

How big is the rat half?

About two inches long. Maybe an inch or more wide.

Take rat half from Faw.
Tell him to close his eyes.
When he does, say 'here, have a completley different peice of food,' and hand him the rat half.
Only have him open his eyes when he is done eating the rat half.

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

Eat mouse half.

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.

"That wasn't, um, too bad."

"That wasn't, um, too bad," you say. It tasted kind of like old chicken.

"Kind of like old chicken."

"Kind of like old chi-" you start to say, but Fawriel has already fallen asleep.

Ok... anyone know where we haven't been yet?

I dun care.

Sleep with next to Faw

You aren't tired.

Look around

Your dead party is in here. Fawriel is sleeping. There's a small mousehole in the corner of the wall. A row of lights hangs from the ceiling. One is missing. Only exit is south.

Go: South.

You go south. There is a lever in the middle of the room. Exits are north, east, and west. The east path is not lit.

Go: West
Examine: Room

You walk west. The hallway ends, blocked by a large metal gate. A sign that reads "Repairman Only" is hanging by the barrier. A mechanical buzz comes from behind the gate, but is too far back to see.

Go: East, south, east, south, west, west.

(I think I got this right.)

No, sorry, you didn't. That goes into two or three walls.

Analyze: Keys

The keys are small and gold colored, held together on a fairly large ring. All the keys appear to be the same.

How many keys are there?

If key count < 20
==Try a key in the door
==[1]
====If Key doesn't work
======Then Try a new key
======Repeat from [1]
====If key does work
======Celebrate
======Save
If Key Count > 20
==End

There are four keys. You put one in the gate, hear a click, and it swings open. You cheer and save.
