>>1099548
I'd TAKE 2 Bone, before THROW Bone Darkness, in case something comes out of the darkness that you have to HIT Thing WITH Bone

LOOK around. LISTEN carefully. If there is something peering at you, you need to locate it before you go further in.

Speak: "UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A"

TAKE bone
LOOK darkness
And, because i tried it in every text adventure game, a swear. Lets go with ARSEBREATH

It’s you. You have eyes, teeth, claws, your senses and your wits. What more is there to say?
Oh, you do actually also have a coil of rope, a sharp dagger, a package of dry meats, a lighter and a canteen. You packed enough to be out for a little bit, but not long. You either expect to return home soon, or not at all.

You touch a nearby stalactite. It’s cold and wet, and feels like stone.
You can’t take it, it’s solidly stuck to whichever vertical surface it is that stalactites form on.

You take one of the bones. It’s dry and hollow.

You yell some nonsense into the dark. It echoes back to you.

A quiet, low voice hisses from the mouth of the cave:
“Spells won’t save you here, fool.”

You reply with another nonsense word.

You hear only snickering in response.

You hurl the bone into the cave. It clatters against the stone further in. The laughing stops immediately.

LISTEN Darkness
SAY sorry, was that your bone?

Maybe

the commands whose result you're describing, for clarity?
SAY I've got a BONE to PICK with you!

Also, TAKE another BONE
EQUIP DAGGER

USE rope on STALACTITE to secure yourself in case you get lost in the dark or fall in a hole.

ENTER CAVE

There's not solving this mystery if we don't get started. Even if we can't rely on our magic for safety, we need to take the first step.

SPEAK to Darkness: you thought it was a wiindigo instead of another chupacabra. Made you territorial.

PAUSE for a moment.

THROW a nearby stone at Darkness.
