insert key
turn key     (*** B O O M ! ***
              You are thrown back by a gunpowder explosion, obviously from
              the highly concentrated coating on the key. The explosion
              destroyed the door and the key, leaving a passage to the south.)

get staff

frisk body   (You found something.)

              impaled himself upon your two-handed sword by accident!)

turn staff   (The ruby begins to dimly shine red.)

              deforming the ruby and destroying the boulder.)

              to drop his sword onto the floor. He runs away in fear, leaving
              the sword behind.)

throw stone  (RETRIBUTIVE STRIKE!
              The staff is broken, but that makes little difference as the
