Breakfast Time

So you're a lizard, with six arms? This is the best day ever. Now you can be the most efficient, cold-blooded businessman ever.

Well, this would be great if, though, there weren't infinitely more downsides to it than upsides. I mean sure, being a lizard with six arms would make you a better businessman if they were actually arms and if you had any idea how to coordinate them and if, you know, your businessguage wasn't in the red right now. This is disgraceful.

Examine the tome near your backside.

Holy crap! You have six legs! How do you move?!

You really can't move very easily. Why would you even need this many legs? It's not like you need an exceptional grip on anything. This is dumb. It takes you a while just to get to the other side of the cage, fumble around with the tome without thumbs, and open it to a random page.

Even then, there doesn't seem to be anything of use inside. It's not even written in Common. The illustrations are nice, but without the words this is just an arcane picture book. You don't have time for this.

>Try to grab that flask outside the cage.

That doesn't seem like a very good idea. You'd probably spill it on yourself, and somehow make your day even worse than it already is. You have no idea why anyone would put a bottle of acid within reach of a cage, but that's not really your concern. You need to find a way to get out of here.

You can probably fit between those bars.

Make your escape.

...Oh. Right. Whoever made this cage must have been an idiot. Or at least whoever decided to store you in here. Either way, you're free. There are a couple of things scattered about on the table: a BROKEN POSSIBLY-MAGIC CRYSTAL and some sort of SCREWDRIVER. And of course, the flask of acid.



You can vaguely see another cage across the room next to the door, as well as some sort of countertop with some potions on it. You're pretty sure that the door is reinforced with metal plating, and that you have absolutely no chance of opening it. Not that it matters since you're stuck on a table well above the floor.

Wonderful day you're having here.
