A hollow voice says “Cretin!”.

\> x can

Which can? The First or the Second?

\> First

It’s too dark to see, but by shaking the can you guess it has two doses.

\> x second can

It’s too dark to see, but by shaking the can you guess it has two doses.

\> take card from deck

You get a random card from the deck

\> spray card with first can

Done. The card is now wet and hopefully protected.

\> throw card n

As you dexterously flip the card through the air to the North, a slavering grue chases after it only to be turned into a pillar of salt when it gets hit by the light from the northern room.

\> spray second can on me

Done. You are now wet, and hopefully protected.
