part three

What else can I use? A knife, is it a big one? what does it say?

cut chop and stab also makes the staff extra pokey

just be careful it is not the strongest but it may be the sharpest

Ok let's try that one. Ben selected yes on the knife. The same opening from before however this time instead of bread a smooth short gray blade of stone with a leather and bone handle was inside. The thick blade was as long as his first finger and the handle seemed to fit well in hand. It just felt like something he wanted to use. With that in mind he selected the staff wondering how it would fit out of the little space in the pillar. The staff was just in there! Ben looked inside and it was longer than the pillar was wide! What? He looked around the back but it was the same as normal. That doesn't seem like it should happen. Ben looked at it really close craning his head to the side. Just under the edge of the opening was a gap the pillar didn't seem. . . It wasn't attached at all! The opening was floating just in front of the surface. So weird, is that how it's supposed to be? Ben reached his hand into the space but from the tiny gap in between he couldn't see anything. It was just a blackness. Maybe I should investigate this later.

Ben stood up from his investigation of the opening in front of the pillar and pulled out the staff thing. It was just a little bit taller than himself. It seemed to be made of some kind of fibers all stuck together. It made a clunky sound when he set it on the hard stone ground and sniffing it, well it smelled good. It was about twice as thick as his thumb and it warmed quickly in his hand, unlike the stone all around.

With the staff in one hand a the knife in the other it seemed a clumsy way to try to use the menu. So he set them down.

Ben selected Exit from the menu.

Exit

Ben selected all the options. He wasn't sure what exactly it was supposed to do, but it was recommended so maybe it's a good idea.
