-The solution-

----------------------------------------

ATTENTION: Do not continue reading until you have collected all 20 coins.

When Cadrix receives the sum mentioned, he grins enthusiastically.

Take 20 coins from your inventory.

But then he conjures two potions at your feet. "Drink one of the jars empty. You can save the excess potion for the road!" he laughs and quickly disappears behind the stone from which he emerged earlier.

You follow the dwarf's advice and drink the liquid, but suddenly you feel very strange. Has he poisoned you?

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

But then you slowly shrink into yourself, as does the remaining potion. Just a few seconds later, you are only the size of a tiny mouse. The cave ceiling now seems light years away, and the walls tower up next to you like huge monsters. The stream has swollen into a river, and the branches that occasionally float past have become the size of tree trunks. The hole into which the river disappears now resembles the tunnels that seemed even smaller before.

After a brief hesitation, you venture into the stream, which has swollen into a river, and cling to the branches floating by, which seem gigantic to you. Together with the wood, you are propelled through a passage until you can see light in the distance. The exit of the tunnel! Sunlight blinds you and as you take a closer look, you finally realize that you have passed the stargate.

Add 1 shrinking potion to your inventory.
