How on earth did you manage to catch those tears so fast?? 
Yippee! Let’s get some wine in the cellar.
EDIT: bedtime for me.

I’m so confused about this whole tears/mirghh/recipe… I need to re-read that part. We need wine now? Do we have anything locked for that key?
We need to find that crypt also.
Also out for today…

Also, how cool would it have been if they used university titles for the ranks?

Associate Professor? Not bad
Let’s get to that kitchen and cellar
Outside the Kitchens
There is a closed hatch in the middle of the floor.
>z
Time passes.
>z
Time passes.
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
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 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
Sorry if we already did this before and I missed it
>hide in alcove
You get into the alcove.
>wait (for the cook to leave)
>get a bottle of wine
>z
Time passes.
>z
Time passes.
>z
Time passes.
The cook finally makes his decision, muttering to himself. “Perhaps a Veuve Cliquot champagne…” 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 wine
You can’t see any such thing.
Why would we be trapped? The cook is always coming down! 
>feel walls (to look for the light)
>feel south wall
You feel nothing unexpected.
>feel east wall
You feel nothing unexpected.
>feel west wall
You feel nothing unexpected.
>feel north wall
You feel nothing unexpected.
>feel ceiling
You feel nothing unexpected.
>feel floor
You feel nothing unexpected.
Not even the bottles? I don’t think we have any light with us…
>turn on light
>climb ladder
>turn on light
You switch the light switch on.
Cellars (in the alcove)
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.

>climb ladder
I don’t think much is to be achieved by that.
Oh wow, I never would have guessed there was a light switch! I thought we needed matches or something…
LOL, here I was complicating stuff…
>x storage bins
>x wine bottles
>take wine
>x bins
You should say precisely which of the seven bins you mean.
>x first bin
Its shelves are stacked from floor to ceiling with dusty bottles. A plaque above the bin is engraved with the name “William Canynges”.
>x second bin
Its shelves are stacked from floor to ceiling with dusty bottles. A plaque above the bin is engraved with the name “Thomas Heydon”.
>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”.
>x fourth bin
Its shelves are stacked from floor to ceiling with dusty bottles. A plaque above the bin is engraved with the name “Edward Farber”.
>x fifth bin
Its shelves are stacked from floor to ceiling with dusty bottles. A plaque above the bin is engraved with the name “Bernard Starkey”.
>x sixth bin
Its shelves are stacked from floor to ceiling with dusty bottles. A plaque above the bin is engraved with the name “Robert Mayow”.
>x seventh bin
Its shelves are stacked from floor to ceiling with dusty bottles. A plaque above the bin is engraved with the name “Francis Tausend”.
>take wine
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.
