It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.

"A piece and two pennies," he tells you briskly, picking up a knife and neatly slicing a piece off. He pulls three cookies from their platter (two have white icing and one has yellow) and wraps it up in brown paper.
> Take a bite of the bread.

You take a bite of the bread. It's very good and fluffy, and tastes kind of like sourdough.
> Eat the cookies next.

You eat the cookies. They are very sweet and crunchy, and the icing is nice and fresh. As you eat them, you feel your energy level go up. Food is good for you.

You think about what to do next. So far, you've bought a pretty amulet, and eaten an awful lot of baked goods. How boring.

And if I claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that I don't know.
Time's up!

As you investigate the amulet a mysterious portal opens in front of you

You enter a portal and appear in a large, circular-looking, gold room

There aren't any chairs, so you settle down comfortably on the floor. Isn't this nice?
> Examine the contents of the room.
Ignoring the other person who has taken a seat on the room's floor, you scan the interior. The room is entirely gold—not tacky yellow paint, but what looks suspiciously like an entire coating of gold leaf on the walls and ceiling. The floor is solid gray stone with a large jewel in the center, and doesn't look very comfortable. You pause to wonder why anyone would sit on it.

You curse at the jewel and the bottom glows, you don't see it, jump on the the jewel. It then explodes, leaving another amulet in its place

You inspect the amulet. It's gold, with designs. And a red ruby in the center.

You sell the amulet and get 1,000 gold. The amulet then teleports back to you in ten minutes.

You sell it again, again for 1,000 pieces of gold. It doesn't teleport back, as far as you can see, but your pocket feels heavier...

Luckily, it doesn't seem to be too long, and you've reached the front before seven have passed. It appears to be a cute little bakery, with fresh baked bread and colorfully decorated cookies. "Hello," the owner greets you. "What would you like?"
