go east, then east once more

A Cottage Kitchen

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The cottage kitchen is cozy. Unlike the rest of the house the kitchen seems to be untouched by vandalism. Perhaps whoever was searching the house found what they wanted before they got to this room. There are several cabinets, a pantry and a wood stove for cooking.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Obvious Exits: West

Special Note: You may return to a room you have already visited by saying GOTO X where X is the name of the room. There is a map on the Zork Notebook link which lists the rooms by number

Vandalise the room, then go to main room.

For some unknown reason .. you go berserk. Since you decided to tidy up the room .. you feel like the only way to make things "even" would be to mess up this one. Its only fair. So you empty out the cubards on the ground .. sending food and pots and pans flying about. In a fit of rage, you completely tear off one of the cabinet doors and send it flying across the room putting a hole through the kitchen wall.

Search remnants of room for pie.

You frantically search the room for pie! i know there must be a pie in here somewhere. but .. no .. there is nothing .. not even a crumb of crust to be found. Seriously .. you think to yourself .. who doesn't keep pie?

Curse the heavens. The look out the newly made hole in the wall.

Peering into the hole in the wall you look outside and see the woods to the north of the cottage. The trees are large and numerous and thick foliage covers the forest floor.

examine dragon and coins

The dragon is currently in your inventory
You take it out of your backpack and examine it carefully. It is made of jade and carved to look like a Chinese Dragon. You are sure that it is valuable but are unsure of what that value might be. The statue is almost flawless and has a remarkable beauty to it

The coins appear to be normal silver and copper pieces.

the significance of dragon symbolism of statue and on the message box...

That is interesting isn't it .. you may be on to something

place statue back in pack. GOTO kitchen to make a cup of tea

Looking on the floor in the kitchen you find a chipped cup and eventually find a bag of tea - Earl Grey. You run some water in a pot .. turn on the stove and heat up the water. Pouring hot water over the tea you take a sip and almost burn your lips. wow! that's some hot tea .. you know .. what would really go good with this tea .. a nice slice of pie

Curse the gods for denying you this pie.
