> You go east.
You are in the living room. There is a doorway to the east. To the west is a cyclops-shaped opening in an old wooden door, above which is some strange gothic lettering, a trophy case, and a rug lying beside an open trap door. There is a nasty knife here. Your collection of treasures consists of: A trunk of jewels. A crystal trident. A beautiful jeweled scarab. A large emerald. A huge diamond. A jade figurine. A sceptre. A pot of gold. A gold coffin. A painting.

This room has an exit on the northwest, and a staircase leading up.
> You go up.
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 gestures mysteriously, and the treasures in the room suddenly vanish. There is a suspicious-looking individual, holding a large bag, leaning against one wall. He is armed with a deadly stiletto. There is a silver chalice, intricately engraved, here. You dodge as the thief comes in low.
> You kill thief with knife.
The thief is disarmed by a subtle feint past his guard. The robber, somewhat surprised at this turn of events, nimbly retrieves his stiletto.
> You kill thief with knife.
You dodge as the thief comes in low.
> You kill thief with knife.
It's curtains for the thief as your nasty knife removes his head. Almost as soon as the thief breathes his last breath, a cloud of sinister black fog envelops him, and when the fog lifts, the carcass has disappeared. As the thief dies, the power of his magic decreases, and his treasures reappear: A stiletto, a jewel-encrusted egg, with a golden clockwork canary, a torch, a crystal skull and a sapphire-encrusted bracelet. The chalice is now safe to take.

You are in a clearing, with a forest surrounding you on all sides. A path leads south. There is an open grating, descending into darkness.

This is a path winding through a dimly lit forest. The path heads north-south here. One particularly large tree with some low branches stands at the edge of the path. You hear in the distance the chirping of a song bird.
> You climb tree.
Beside you on the branch is a small bird's nest. You hear in the distance the chirping of a song bird.
> You wind up canary.
The canary chirps, slightly off-key, an aria from a forgotten opera. From out of the greenery flies a lovely songbird. It perches on a limb just over your head and opens its beak to sing. As it does so a beautiful brass bauble drops from its mouth, bounces off the top of your head, and lands glimmering in the grass. As the canary winds down, the songbird flies away.
