John: Examine contents of

chest.


In here you keep an array of humorous and mystical ARTIFACTS, each one

a devastating weapon in the hands of a SKILLED MAGICIAN or a CUNNING

PRANKSTER.


You are neither of these things.


Among the ARTIFACTS are: TWO (2) FAKE ARMS [CURRENTLY CAPTCHALOGUED IN

YOUR SYLLADEX], ONE (1) PAIR OF TRICK HANDCUFFS, ONE (1) STUNT SWORD,

ONE (1) MAGICIAN'S HAT, ONE (1) PAIR OF BEAGLE PUSS GLASSES, SEVERAL

(~) SMOKE PELLETS, SEVERAL (~) BLOOD CAPSULES, and ONE (1) COPY OF

COLONEL SASSACRE'S DAUNTING TEXT OF MAGICAL FRIVOLITY AND PRACTICAL

JAPERY, and ONE (1) COPY OF HARRY ANDERSON'S "WISE GUY", BY MIKE

CAVENEY.


Some of this stuff may come in handy at some point. For now, you decide

to just take the SMOKE PELLETS.

>John: Captchalogue smoke pellets.
