Aaron86: Vir moves west 1 and searches the chest.
The chest was trapped! You took 9 damage.
You find a single, sad gold piece at the bottom of the chest. You pop open a latch underneath and discover:
Jadderick Living Box: This plain-looking white box is small enough to fit snugly in your inventory. Inside there dwells a creature called a Jadderick. Jadderix (plural) resemble Ogres in their appearance, with the exception that they are less than a centimeter tall, weigh only a few ounces and are covered in thick brown fur. Jadderix can activate profound magical powers far beyond that of any being in the world, with the exception of a Djinn. The problem is that they require a special type of food (a leaf that grows in marshes) in order to use their powers and, like some Djinn, they demand that you solve a puzzle or riddle before they will use their power for you.
The name of the Jadderick that dwells here is Hominy. At any time, you may take this action: open Hominy's box, feed him a Jadderick leaf, snap your fingers three times and make a wish. Then say, "Hominy, hear my humble request." You must follow this ritual PRECISELY.
He will provide you with a puzzle or riddle. You may consult with anyone around you as to the answer. You may even use a skill (if you have one) that helps to solve puzzles or riddles. However, you only have one chance to get it right. If you solve his puzzle or riddle on the first try, he will make your wish come true, to the extent that it is possible. If your first guess is incorrect, he will extract a portion of your HP for the remainder of any quest. You may choose NOT to attempt to answer the puzzle or riddle and you will not lose any HP. However, he will still keep the leaf you fed him.
OOC: Sorry for the wall of text.
