Within seconds after you plant the stubby, well-worn molar, the soil begins to stir and out pops a short, but obviously very tough, warrior dwarf, determined to use his magical strength to help you in your final battle with the draconians. Not wanting to have to keep an eye on him, you send the dwarf with a very reluctant gnome to wait until you need him. In the final battle, his fury will add +1 to your defense.

Did we not already check the glowing jar and the arm in the bowl, or was that a different run?
Previous run
100I
As soon as you entered the chamber, the tall, ring-topped jar drew your attention by its unusual shape and bright red color. Deciding to investigate what makes it special, you head toward it. But as you do, it suddenly disappears from sight. You run to it and feel all around in case something made it invisible, but you find nothing! All you can think is that it must have been an illusion. Feeling vaguely disappointed, you turn to other things.

Gulping down your fear, you approach the low bowl on the second shelf. Just as you reach it, the arm moves as if the talons want to scratch your face.
Do you want to pick up the bowl or just turn it around to inspect all sides?

Powering up your armor just in case, you pick up the the low brown bowl off the shelf. It’s quite heavy, even though it doesn’t have a lid. When you can see inside, all you see is one green eye peering up at you from the surrounding brown hairy darkness.
You gasp and exclaim, “What?”
A flat husky voice comes from somewhere in the hair.
“I’m the genie of the light brown bowl. And it isn’t polite to just say, ‘What?’ You might at least have said ‘Who?’”
“Wh-why?” you gasp again, bewildered and not a little frightened.
“Why am I in here? Because I’m ugly. If I were pretty, I’d get to be in a bottle. You’ve heard of the genie in the bottle? Well, that’s not me. I just get a dreary bowl.”
“Do you like it in there?” you ask, accepting that there is probably no immediate danger here.
“I’d like it better if that damnable imp hadn’t stolen my lid. It gets kind of cold sometimes.”
“Well, is there anything I can do for you?”
“Find me a lid.”
You look around and find another low bowl, remove its lid, and try it on the genie’s bowl. It fits fine, and you hear a muffled “Thanks” from inside.
Feeling good about your deed, you return to exploring the Bottle Room.

The large glowing bowl on the third shelf attracts you with its fascinating, unnatural light. The idea of magic scares you a bit, but you really want to see what’s in the bowl.
You may open it, or continue exploring.

Can I take the bowl without opening it
