Went to my grandparents for Thanksgiving this year. Here's what happened.
After travelling for some time on the Roads of Doom, I finally arrived at
the entrance. Eagerly I entered, to see what creatures would be awaiting
me. Already there were two G, grandparents, and an a, an aunt.
You see here a large chest.

m - an uncursed skeleton key

After retrieving some Fine China, I placed it in a nearby room so it
would be available if I needed it. I then found another room which
contained a sink.

I cleaned my face and hands, then stumbled upon something.

I moved over to a nearby alter to sacrifice my find.

I decided it would be best not to cross the G's path, while it was
wielding a knife, so I searced around the perimiter of the room, and
found
g - a tin of cranberry
h - a sack
i - a red potion
j - a brown potion
k - a white potion
l - a tin opener
n - a scroll labeled YUM YUM
Quite a find, if I do say so myself. I decided to read the scroll.

This is an identify scroll --More--
h - an uncursed sack of potatoes --More--
i - a blessed potion of cider --More--
j - an uncursed potion of coffee with sugar --More--
k - an uncursed potion of milk
Well, the scroll was obviously blessed, the cider was hard, and the milk
wasn't spoiled. I guess my good luck hasn't timed out yet. Right about
this time, two B's and an M appeared in the room.
The Mother appears friendly.
