You encounter a barrier of some kind that blocks your passage further east.

>feel barrier
You can’t see any such thing.

>feel east wall
You feel nothing unexpected.

Can’t think of anything else but go to the cellar again with the new info

You grope your way back along the long tunnel.

Small Courtyard

A secret entrance to the library leads west.

An open manhole leads down into darkness.

The Roof of “B” Staircase

Roof of the Master’s Lodgings

The elegant clock tower above the college chapel dominates the skyline to the north.

A fearsome stone gargoyle crouches by the gutter.

A precipitous drop prevents you from getting closer to the clock tower.

First Court

The elegant clock tower above the college chapel dominates the skyline to the northeast.

The gate is closed, but a little wicket gate stands open.

Archway between the Courts

An announcement is stapled to the south wall.

Second Court

The elegant clock tower above the college chapel dominates the skyline to the northwest.

Turmeric sits here.

Great Hall

One end of the hall is occupied by the high table.

A long table extends across the remainder of the room.

Outside the Kitchens

There is a closed hatch in the middle of the floor.

A cook emerges from the kitchen, unlocks the hatch, opens it and descends into the cellars.

>d
You climb quietly down the ladder, anxious not to reveal your presence to the cook.

Cellars

There is an open hatch in the ceiling, accessible by a ladder.

The cook stands before the bins, considering which bottle he should take.

>hide in alcove
You get into the alcove.

The cook finally makes his decision, muttering to himself. “Perhaps I want the Orvieto Classico Secco…” He selects a bottle from the shelves, and walks back to the ladder, looking around himself suspiciously.

You shrink back into the shadows, and he doesn’t notice you. He turns out the light, climbs the ladder, and you can hear him closing and locking the hatch. Instead of breathing a sigh of relief, you suddenly feel very scared. What if he doesn’t come back? What if you’re trapped in here?

It is now pitch dark in here!

>get out
You emerge from the alcove.

>turn on light
You switch the light switch on.

Cellars
The cellar is a cool refuge from the heat of the summer day outside. There are seven storage bins placed against the walls of the cellar, the shelves of each stacked from floor to ceiling with dusty bottles, and a gathering of dark shadows in one corner signifies an alcove.

There is a closed hatch in the ceiling, accessible by a ladder.

>look up 1662 in third bin
You search among the bottles, but there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of them, all very much alike (though all exquisitely different, no doubt, once on the table). You stop searching, dispirited. Maybe if you knew what you were supposed to be looking for you would have more success.

maybe the dates in the bin…

>x third bin

>x third bin
Its shelves are stacked from floor to ceiling with dusty bottles. A plaque above the bin is engraved with the name “Elias Tymme”.

Maybe it’s more simple…

>Look for Virgin’s Milk in third bin

If not I’m out of ideas now…

This is getting hard! I’m stumped too.

>x bottles in third bin
I only understood you as far as wanting to examine the bottles.

>read bottles
There are many hundreds, if not thousands of bottles in the storage bins, imported from all over Europe and laid down among the dust and cobwebs to work their magic.

>search third bin, >get virgin’s milk from third bin
You can’t use multiple objects with that verb.

>get bottle 1662 from third bin
You can’t see any such thing.

>search third bin, get bottle 1662
You can’t use multiple objects with that verb.

>search third bin, get bottle
You can’t use multiple objects with that verb.

> get hint

Because we would be setting a precedent for tap, I will only get a hint if all the playthrough participants agree.  I don’t want to spoil it for them.

My playthrough, my rules

>get bottle
(the bottles)
There are so many bottles here, you don’t know which to choose. Perhaps if you’re looking for a specific bottle you should search the bin in which you think you’ll find it.

>get label
You can’t see any such thing.

>get spittle of lune
You can’t see any such thing.

>get virgin’s milk
You can’t see any such thing.

>get bin 3
That’s hardly portable.
