a grey brick building, Map Room #23, Lich# 26840, go grey building

Smoke Screen

[Smoke Screen - 25189]
The grey brick facade is in dark contrast to the aged and peeling wood lining the interior of this smoke-filled room. A circular table, covered with a stained linen cloth, serves as a stage for a trio of filled candle votives, each casting their own dancing shadows across the floor. Broken bottles of ale surround an unfinished oak cupboard that leans precariously to one side, and a collection of dusty trunks are strewn into one corner. A hand-painted screen is propped against the wall.
Obvious exits: out

On the table you see: a metallic snakeskin flask dangling various fetishes, a polished silver flask wrought into the shape of a mermaid, a barrel-shaped umber clay mug inset with square rivets, a tanned leather flask gripped by thin finger bones and a dark silver tankard framed by small iron axes.

Analyze:
You analyze the skeleton-inked matchbook and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The skeleton-inked matchbook holds matches. It currently holds 15 matches.

To use, OPEN MY matchbook and GET MATCH FROM MY matchbook.

It can be altered, but the noun must remain matchbox, matchbook, pouch, box, or case.

The matches that it creates can have custom article and adjectives, but the matches disappear upon lighting or dropping.

The skeleton-inked matchbook will be deleted if you take the last match. To refill the matchbook, you can DROP matches one by one, or BUNDLE two matchbooks together. The matches from the matchbook in your left hand will be moved to the matchbook in your right hand.


Examine:
In the skeleton-inked matchbook you see several matches.

Smoke Screen, Back Room

[Smoke Screen, Back Room - 23821]
A fire burns within a stone hearth, adding an aromatic haze to the area. Several old chairs form a semicircle around the fireplace, with a small table nestled in-between, forming a quaint gathering area. Off to the side, a velvet-lined display case's contents are evenly spaced and elevated on an incline to enhance their presentation. A small placard has been perched on the top of the case. You also see a doorway.
Obvious exits: none
placard
The cigar tubes inside this case are rather unique. They will hold a single cigar, but they will conceal up to 5 lockpicks, as well. The onyx-veined gnarled bone tube is a bit fancier.

In the display case's you see: an onyx-veined gnarled bone tube, a gear-covered burnished gold tube, a shield-inset ivory suede tube, a demon-branded ebonwood tube and an antler-inset smoky maple tube.

Analyze:
Your tube must remain some kind of cylindrical container. You may change the show description but it cannot support a long description. In addition, you can alter the ring/band that is beneath the cap, which will always be a part of the show by default. TURN to raise/lower the velvet lining concealing your lockpicks. Your tube is currently at Tier 1/1.

The following verbs are available to you: OPEN, CLOSE, TURN, FLIP, POINT, SMELL, EXHALE. Original idea by Ardule, Duskruin.

Try as you might, you cannot get a good sense of whether or not the tube's pockets could get any deeper, but you might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the gnarled bone tube for you.


Examine:
Resembling smoke, a multitude of interlocking swirls have been meticulously embossed onto the surface of the gnarled bone tube. An eahnor and jet ring encircles the tube just beneath the hinged cap.
