This is a Zorch wand, which can transform any creature into a reptile. Please be careful - it's not a toy. She hands the wand back to you. You're at the bottom of a huge mountain. A steep, rocky path leads upwards.
Open areas lie to the west and east.
UP You try to scramble up the path, but it's much too steep. You are standing in a wide, green field of grass. A bored-looking mountain greech is feeding in the tall grass. The greech trots away from you, and pulls up another clump of grass. The greech sniffs your fingers, decides they are not worth eating, and mouths another clump of grass.
