UFF

Have a staring contest with the corpse.

: You lose after half a minute.

Try to smash the lock with pally.

: There is no lock. Just a small keyhole on the monolithic, iron-lined door.

Walk down hallway until something interesting shows up.

Retrieve rusty nails from first room, attempt to use to pick lock.

: You wonder if the nails would work as makeshift lockpicks and hurry back to pick them up. The size of the keyholes is large enough that they fit easily, but their brittle condition has you go through all of them before you finally manage to unlock the door. You step inside.

Question how the fuck someone LOSES AT TIC TAC TOE

: This grating looks more like a riled hole... seems to be very deep.

: It is far too small for you to jump down... it feels like you could try to, but would almost certainly get stuck.
