Edge of Chasm
You are standing at the precipice of a gaping chasm, which is spanned
by atramway. The tramway hangs from the cavern roof above the chasm.
Tunnels leadnorth, northeast, and east. On the south wall is an
unlabelled black button.
You can see a tram car and a jar here. It seems that the jar is
full of tomato sauce.

>PUSH THE BLACK BUTTON
A smiling Gungeon Imp appears."Hear ye the Riddle of the
Chasm! Answer incorrectly, and the Chasm shall collect your bones!
Here goes... "A boy was hurt and brought, unconcious {sic},
to a hospital. The doctor on duty, Doctor Manson, said 'Oh, my!
This is my son!' and proceeded to treat the boy.
"Later, the boy awoke and Nurse Lanolin bustled to his side.
It was herfirst day at the hospital, and she was trying hard to
do everything right.She glanced at his medical chart, which included
a message from Doctor Mansonto 'take good care of my son!' Nurse
Lanolin told the boy, 'Your father, Doctor Manson, treated you himself!'
The boy looked puzzled. 'Doctor Manson isn't my father!'
"Assuming that neither the boy nor the doctor is lying, who
is Doctor Manson?"
>ANSWER "HIS MOTHER"
The Dungeon Imp looks disappointed. "Correct. The chasm isn't
going to be happy, that's for sure. Maybe we can fool it with some
hellhound bones..." Mumbling to itself, the Imp vanishes, and
a passage opens to the south!

adore pepperoni pizza."

The ogre stops you with a flick of his little finger. "I'm
hungry. And nobody passes by me when I'm hungry. Nobody."
>EAST
Kitchen
This is a tiny kitchen equipped with a small brick oven. Waves of
heat come from the oven. There are doors to the west and southwest.
Tacked up on the wall is a faded recipe.
Sitting on the counter is some dough.

of the chasm.

The tram car descends, reaching the far side of the chasm.
Far Edge of Chasm, in the tram car
The western side of the chasm is almost identical to the eastern
side, making you wonder why anyone went through the trouble of building
the tramway.
At the very edge of the precipice is a flat-topped rock with some
writing engraved on it. Sitting on the flat-topped rock is a magic
wand.
>TAKE THE WAND
You can't reach the wand from the tram car.
>GET OUT OF THE CAR
You get out of the tram car.

"Behold the Wand of Widgeefuss."
>READ ABOUT WIDGEEFUSS IN THE GUIDEBOOK
"The Wand of Widgeefuss was lost in ancient times. Its powers
have probably been exaggerated over the centuries. Some have even
claimed that it could turn flat-topped rocks into cheese."
>POINT THE WAND AT THE FLAT-TOPPED ROCK
A bolt of magic strikes the flat-topped rock, leaving a pile of
cheese in its place.
