give tin Dorothy
You give a small tin of 'secret ingredients' to Dorothy.
Dorothy snatches the box from your hands as you hold it out to her.
Dorothy hands the box to one of her assistants, who immediately begins to use them in some sort of preparation.
Dorothy turns back towards you; she is glowering, and there is fury in her eyes.
Dorothy says 'And YOU! WHERE did you go? What TOOK you so long? I TRUSTED you to come back with that IMMEDIATELY, and you were off dilly-dallying who KNOWS where? HOW am I supposed to WORK like this?'
Dorothy snorts at you, and gives you a disgusted look.
Dorothy almost throws some coins at you.
Dorothy gives you 15 silver coins.

Dorothy says 'THERE! It's more than you DESERVE for being so slow, but I WON'T have people saying I CHEAT my staff! Now get OUT, though, before I give you my BOOT!'
Dorothy makes a move to throw you out of the kitchen, then thinks better of it and dismisses you by turning her back on you and stomping away.
You receive 300 experience points.

Avenue of Retribution
Tall lamp posts line the wide avenue of luminescent white brick, casting
down light from the enclosed oil lamps at their tops. The stone buildings
that front the avenue are quiet, most of the windows you see holding no
light. The large stall of a baker covers the western side of the
street and while the bustle of a market can be seen beyond the low wall
fronting the stall, no sounds can be heard. The avenue ends just to the
north at a large square dimly lit by street lamps around its perimeter.
At its center stands a towering statue of iridescent white stone.


A poor urchin lingers here, dependent upon the charity of others.

The Noble Harvest
Mouthwatering aromas nearly overwhelm the senses of those who enter this
large bakery. The smell of baking bread and pastries fills the shop and
wafts out into the street, which is certain to catch the attention of any
passerby. The shelves overflow with baked delicacies of every conceivable
type. Breads, pies, cakes, confections, chocolates, cookies, muffins,
mincemeat, and more make for a dizzying array of choices. The walls are
spotlessly white except for a soft pink lacey border that wraps around the
perimeter of the ceiling. A partition separates the shop proper from the
actual kitchen to the south which is bustling with activity as Dorothy and
her assistants work. A small sign is posted in the door's window.


A tall woman is here, sweeping flour from the floor of her bakery.
Dorothy whirls around as you enter, her face turning red at the sight of you.
Dorothy screams, 'Where have you BEEN?? I told you to hurry right back, didn't I? DIDN'T I??? I've been WAITING for that! My dessert is probably RUINED by now, you TOOK so long! Give it to me IMMEDIATELY!'
Dorothy shakes with fury as she holds out her hand for the tin.
