x rug
The long rug is drier and cleaner at its furthest point from the external door.
take rug
That’s hardly portable.
look under rug
You find nothing of interest.
l
Ante chamber
This chamber leads north to the Meeting room. The rug underfoot is thick and soft. Light cascades in through the stained glass windows above. There is a smell, not unlike a dog in a rainstorm.
x windows
They depict the form of Badger Jesus tending to the wounds of “the Leper Fox”. A message of empathy for our fellow animals resonates strongly in this time of uncertainly.
open window
It isn’t something you can open.
smell
The rug is sodden and muddy at one end. It generates all the olfactory experiences of a bayou without any of the charms.
get on rug
That’s not something you can enter.

n
Meeting Room
This room is larger than it needs to be. A flag with historically important badgers painted on it hangs from the wall. Stairs ascend clockwise and anti-clockwise to a balcony above the flag. There is a stern table with cloths and flags pinned to it.
An angry badger sits here with steam gently rising off him. He is poring over some documents of importance.
There is a table here.
On the table are some documents and a tray (empty).
x flag
This depicts Bruce the Bold slaughtering the 700 armies of the cove. It is… heavily stylised.
x table
This is a well made and good looking table with legs that go all the way down.
On the table are some documents and a tray (empty).
x cloths
Gilding

x tray
Looks like an outbox.
x documents
The Badger slaps down hard on your hand. His wise cruel eyes stop you in your tracks. He asks “What do you want, Boy?”
talk to badger
Your plans to put a cohesive sentence together fall apart under the glare from his twitching eyes. You unconsciously put your hand to the message in your pocket.
i
You are carrying:
a message
an empty mug
x me
As good-looking as ever.
x mug
You see nothing special about the empty mug.
x message
The baker has put 4 buns in the oven but they risk being burned. If that’s not a code someone is seriously wasting your time.
give message
(to the angry badger)
The Angry Badger snatches the message from you. His already furrowed brows clamp down further as he considers this new turn of events. “Know this Boy.” he huffs at you, “Blood will be spilled tonight, but the badger kingdom will prevail.” A chill runs through your spine. You know that this is naive optimism bordering on self-delusion.
He rushes upstairs.

You grab the documents and slip them into your coat.

x documents
They appear to be requisition orders for grain and dried meats to the River District.

Balcony
There is an office to the north. An empty table lies below.

Office
The carpets just seem to get more intense the further into this castle you travel. These ones are a luminescent white and thicker than your mattress at home. Admittedly, this is a low bar to clear. If you go south you’ll return to the balcony.
An unremarkable pen sits on the desk.
A hot cup of tea sits on the desk.
This desk looks expensive. Important things must be written here.
A map of the local lands is on the wall.

take all
map: Taken.
pen: Taken.
cup of tea: Mmm. Tastes good. Your mind starts to wander. You ponder the years of stubborn deadlock in this feud between the Badgers and the Foxes. Rumor has it that the foxes suspected the badgers of the thievery of enormous stocks of food. Badgers do not take kindly to accusations. (even though, let’s face it, we probably did it)
You continue to daydream about battles, escape plans, and eventually what would happen if someone found you drinking their tea in the castle. You blink to your senses.
x map
There are red pins with tiny illustrations of foxes on them. There are… quite a lot of them. Like… A LOT. And seriously heaps at Barker’s Point. So many.
x pen
An unremarkable pen sits on the desk, but not so unremarkable that I’m not… you know… mentioning it.
