On pulling back the curtain you see a tiny green-skinned creature with a large head. He has a long nose and pointed ears and wears brown canvas clothing. A large medallion hangs from his neck on a silver chain. The creature is sitting at a table examining a red clay figure of a human hand. On seeing you enter the cave he takes a stone hammer and smashes the clay hand. He is a GREMLIN chief and jumps to his feet to face you with his hammer. You must fight him.
GREMLIN SKILL 5 STAMINA 5
During each Attack Round you must reduce your Attack Strength by 3 because of your cramped fighting position.
(That guy got some hits in on us. Do we want to eat any Provisions?)
You take the medallion from the neck of the fallen Gremlin. It is made of gold and is worth 9 Gold Pieces. There is nothing else of use or value in the cave. There is no other exit from the cave and you must crawl back down the tunnel to the junction.
Back at the junction you may either crawl south back to the well or continue west.

The tunnel ends at a cave entrance. On entering the cave you see that the roof is no higher than the tunnel and you are unable to stand up. The cave is the lair of an intelligent creature, for it contains small pieces of furniture. There is a wooden box just over a meter in length at the back of the cave.
If you wish to lift the lid of the box
If you wish to turn round and return to the junction in the tunnel

As you touch the wooden box, the lid flies up without your having to lift it. From out of the box leaps a tiny green-skinned creature with a large head. He has a long nose and pointed ears and his clothes are made of sacking. You are taken by surprise and the GREMLIN tries to stab you with his dagger. Test your Luck. (2;5=7; Lucky.) You manage to dodge the thrusting blade.
The small Gremlin is agile, being able to runaround you while you have difficulty in moving about on your hands and knees. You back up against a wall and draw your sword.
GREMLIN SKILL 5 STAMINA 3
During each Attack Round you must reduce your Attack Strength by 3 because of your cramped fighting position.
Rummaging through some bedding in a chest of drawers you find an ingot of gold. It is worth 28 Gold Pieces. However it is very heavy and if you wish to take it with you, some other object from your backpack will have to be discarded There is no other exit from the cave and you have to crawl back down the tunnel to the junction.
(Do we want to discard anything for the ingot? Also, do we want to eat Provisions or use our Luck Potion? Technically if we did either or both of those that should count as dropping something, even though it's cheesy as hell. There's a reason Ian Livingstone dropped inventory management after this book; he can't write one to save his life.)
Back at the junction you may either go east or keep going north.

(Going north, eating the meals and drinking the Luck Potion; since we gobbled down so much I'm assuming that counts as an item dropped. If anyone thinks we should drop something else, state it with the next vote.)
Ahead you hear high-pitched voices frantically calling to each other. The tunnel ends at a small cave entrance. Suddenly an arrow flies out of the cave towards you. Test your Luck. (1,2=3; Lucky.) The arrow whistles past your head.
You press on down the tunnel into the cave entrance. The roof of the cave is no higher than the tunnel and you are unable to stand up. The cave is very small and filled with tiny bits of furniture and all manner of objects and curios. Standing in the middle of the cave are two green-skinned creatures with small bodies and large heads; they have pointed ears and long noses and their clothes are made from sacks. They appear very alarmed and charge at you with their daggers. You must fight the GREMLINS as you are unable to turn round and escape.
First GREMLIN SKILL 4 STAMINA 3
Second GREMLIN SKILL 3 STAMINA 2
You fight the Gremlins one at a time but must reduce your Attack Strength by 3 for each round of combat because you are fighting on your hands and knees.
(Finally, a Flawless for Dick!)
There are many hand made clay figures of human hands in different positions covering every available surface area. They are all painted with bright red glaze. In a copper vase you find 3 Gold Pieces, which you put in your backpack. There is nothing else of use or value to you in the cave. You leave by crawling back the way you came to the junction, taking a clay hand with you if you wish. (We're back to no inventory management so I assume we take the hand. And we can't drop that for the ingot.)
(Only direction left for us is to go back east, and then back to the well.)
You reach the end of the tunnel and are about to step out on to the ladder on the wall of the well when you hear footsteps above you. Somebody is coming down the ladder.
If you wish to reach out in an attempt to grab hold of the first leg that comes into view
If you would rather wait for the visitor to enter the tunnel

You grab hold of the leg and pull down as hard as you can. A small green-skinned GREMLIN falls past you with a loud wail into the water. You seize your opportunity and climb up the ladder while the Gremlin is floundering in the water. You climb out of the well and return to the path.
Which way are you heading?
Continue east
Continue west

Walking west along the valley floor, you pass a junction in the path, which leads south and back into the hills You decide to keep on walking west.
The valley floor is covered with lush green grass and is very flat. You soon arrive at another junction in the path. You may either continue west or head north again.

The small man wakes up with a start, loses his balance and falls off the mushroom. He curses as he lands on the ground but jumps back on to the mushroom shouting, 'Who did that? Who did that?' He looks at you and frowns. You may either attack the GNOME or attempt to start a conversation with him.
