>climb tree
You climb an oak tree.
[Wehnimer's, Treehouse]
This sturdy wooden platform, built of planks and wedged into a fork of the oak's trunk, provides a place to sit and rest in the shadow of an overhanging branch. A glance through the foliage affords a bird's-eye view of the lamplit town square below. You also see a tattered squirrel's nest tucked between two sturdy branches.
Obvious paths: down
>jump
Okay, if you insist... Yeeee HAW! You throw yourself out of the tree, and jump into midair! . . .

d100(open): 18
Then *SPLAT!* you land on the ground below! Ow!
[Town Well]
The old well is made of flat stones built up around a circular opening. A slate roof overhangs the opening, keeping the drinking water clear and refreshing. Several skin water buckets, with long ropes attached, are scattered on the hard-packed earth surrounding the well. You also see a stout rope hanging over the rim of the well.
Obvious paths: northeast, south, northwest
... 25 points of damage!
Strong shot to your head messes up the brain fatally.
You become solid again.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
You return to normal color.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
You feel your extra strength departing.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 10 mins...
DEAD>
* Andrath just bit the dust!

It's not how old. It's rather on a hidden roll and how much encumbrance you have.
