The lamp is now on.
You are in a dark and damp cellar with a narrow passageway leading
east, and a crawlway to the south. To the west is the bottom of a
steep metal ramp which is unclimbable.
The door crashes shut, and you hear someone barring it.
>EAST
You are in a small room with passages off in all directions.
Bloodstains and deep scratches (perhaps made by an axe) mar the walls.
A nasty-looking troll, brandishing a bloody axe, blocks all passages
out of the room.
You sword has begun to glow very brightly.
>KILL TROLL WITH SWORD
A furious exchange, and the troll is knocked out.

carcass has disappeared.

>NE
You are in a room with an exit on the west side, and a staircase
leading up.
A cyclops, who looks prepared to eat horses (much less mere
adventurers), blocks the staircase. From his state of health
and the bloodstains on the wall, you gather that he is not very
friendly, though he likes people.
You sword has begun to glow very brightly.
>ODYSSEUS
The cyclops, hearing the name of his deadly nemesis, flees the room
by knocking down the wall on the north size of the room.
Your sword is no longer glowing.
>UP
This is a large room, whose north wall is solid granite. A number
of discarded bags, which crumble at your touch, are scattered about
on the floor. There is an exit down and what appears to be a newly
created passage to the east.
There is a silver chalice, intricately engraved, here.
You hear a scream of anguish as you violate the robber's hideaway.
Using passages unknown to you, he rushes to its defense.

The thief is taken aback by your unexpected generosity but accepts
the jewel-encrusted egg and stops to admire its beauty.
