Sometimes you dream of adventure.

Sometimes you dream yourself as a crafty assassin or a dangerous spellcaster.

Occasionally, you even have the fever dream of leading your armies into charge against a horde of undead lich sorceror kings under a violent purple and amber sky filled with lightning.

Most days you squint that away and allow yourself a quick stretch before you get up in the predawn dusk to get the first batch of dough started.

This is the Shireton Bakery. This is where you, the Baker of Shireton, bake bread for all the citizenry of Shireton. This is a magnificent location: Right off the Shireton Towne Square, which is one step to the north.

The oven where you bake bread dominates a corner of the bakery out of reach of the clientele.

A highly polished wooden counter divides the room.

On the counter are a tip jar (empty) and a hand bell.

Everything you need to make dough (flour, water) is on your work table.

On the work table are ten metal pans.

Behind the counter is a strong box with a narrow slot to catch your earnings.

Bakery Inferno

Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT, UNDO the last command or review the MILESTONES you've seen so far?
action: You enter back
response: You open the blue curtain.

This is a mind-bogglingly huge storage space whose horizon falls off at the round edge of your perception. You could probably go any direction and no direction here at the same time. Flat representations of ten balls of dough, twenty loaves of barley bread, twenty loaves of wheat bread, twenty loaves of sourdough bread, twenty rock hard biscuits, a haze of acrid smoke, an aroma, fifty copper coins and a cursed pickle are both here and not here.

You can see Bob the Hobo, a ~Baker_of_Shireton_0912 and a blue checked curtain here.

Bob has respawned. "Well, that was annoying. The idea of slippin'
me a finn, I'll tell you!" He looks around. "What's this
place?"

"...deedle deedle deedle..." croaks ~Baker_of_Shireton_0912.
action: You get the route
response: "Oh, hush up finally," you say, tearing the fat heel of a spare loaf and shoving it in his mouth. "Sustain that!" you add, claiming Bob's patrol route, and assuring yourself that yes, indeed, that was a witty parting shot.

"Ngglff! Mmnghhhllhghh!" proclaims Bob around a mouthful of bread crust.

"...noony noony noooo..." croaks ~Baker_of_Shireton_0912.

action: Go outside
response: You open the blue checked curtain.

This is the Shireton Bakery. This is where you, the Baker of Shireton, bake bread for all the citizenry (and adventuring visitors) of Shireton.

The oven where you bake bread dominates a corner of the bakery out of reach of the clientele.

A highly polished wooden counter divides the room.

On the counter are a tip jar (empty) and a hand bell.

Everything you need to make dough (flour, water) is on your work table.

On the work table are ten metal pans.

Behind the counter is a strong box with a narrow slot to catch your earnings.
action: Go north
response: You have to squint in the sun...you've never been through that door! Everything is SO BRIGHT!!!

All the roads come together in the middle of the huddle of buildings that make up the tiny hamlet of Shireton. The road out of town leads north through a wintry, rocky mountain pass. The Bakery is just to the south.

It may not be much, but it's a change of scenery and SO BEAUTIFUL! This is the most attractively bedraggled huddle of buildings you've ever seen! And the Wintry Rocky Mountain Pass is the most scenic Wintry Rocky Mountain Pass you've ever seen! And there's a little stone construction with a tiny figure of a man on top and WATER COMES OUT OF IT! What sorcery is this?

Okay. Calm down. You don't need to freak out like it's your first day. It's a tiny town. Your home. You live here. You pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming.

The Shireton Metalsmith complex squats to the east, sporting several variously pitched rooflines and emitting smoke from two chimneys.

The Shireton Tavern and Inn presents a neat facade facing the Towne Square to the west.

A picturesque fountain gurgles in the middle of the square.

A Narvish Raider waits patiently.

You can also see MysticMegan95, a red robed citizen, a green robed citizen, a yellow robed citizen, a moss robed citizen, a purple robed citizen, a white robed citizen, a Shireton Harbourmaster and an AoA-ModGM AustinT. here.

[6:00 pm:6|908238]  AoA-ModGM AustinT.: Jon, is the baker supposed to be wandering around outside the bakery?
action: You go west
response: This is the Shireton Tavern, where the Shireton Tavernkeeper serves ale to the citizenry of Shireton, and provides convention gathering spaces and lodging for non-citizenry of Shireton. The Shireton Tavern is equipped as all medieval taverns are, with a polished bar across the room, giant kegs of ale ready to serve customers, and a twee lute-and-fife tune playing everpresently from an invisible source. This is a spectacular location: just off the Shireton Towne Square, which is one step to the east.

A raucous gathering seems to be happening in the secondary room to the south.

The Tavernkeeper holds dominion over his bar, wiping the already shiny surface and looking for any sign of wanting from the regulars who frequent the place.

On the polished bar is a mug of ale.

Some appropriately medieval music fills the air.

You can also see a purple curtain here.
action: You examine the purple
response: A purple curtain hangs over the door to the back room behind the bar.
action: You open the curtain
response: You open the purple curtain.

You catch a snippet conversation from the south: I'll go with ye
and protect ye fer ten coppers!
action: You go south
response: "Hey!" shouts the Tavernkeep. "You can't go in there!"

"But, I need to recruit a bodyguard!" you try to explain.

"You're not supposed to be able to go in that room until I tell you about its existence!" insists the Tavernkeep. "You know how this works, Baker! Ask me about RUMORS!" he says, tapping the bar.
action: You ask the bartender about the rumors
response: The Tavernkeep looks up from his very important bar surface polishing and regards you keenly.

"I heard a rumor that the more coins there are on the bar, the better rumors you get!" quips the Tavernkeep.
action: You check your inventory
response: You have in current possession:
a patrol route
an apron (being worn)
a baker's hat (being worn)
a name response
a job response

Your heart seems to be a bit emptier...hey. Are you missing some stuff? Perhaps you'd ought to have a look around for it. Hopefully nobody looted after that fire you set off.
action: Go east
response: The Tavernkeep returns to polishing the cleanest counter in town.

All the roads come together in the middle of the huddle of buildings that make up the tiny hamlet of Shireton. The road out of town leads north through a wintry, rocky mountain pass. The Bakery is just to the south.

You are overwhelmed by the presence of someone who has limitless power... You are picked up...and set down...and during that you see things you probably shouldn't...things that have the capability of breaking your tiny mind...
