"It turns out real trolls are almost as annoying as Internet trolls."

No shit.

Let's head back to the witch's gingerbread house and go west.

Here, you'll see a tree with a bird's nest on it, complete with mother and baby birds. Nothing important here. One screen west is the raging river. If you jump into it, you will die. If you go west again, you'll see a bridge. If you try to cross it, you'll meet a troll.

DO NOT GIVE HIM ANY OF THE TREASURES, YOU WILL LOSE POINTS AND QUITE POSSIBLY MAKE THE GAME UNWINNABLE. ALSO, DO NOT THROW THE DAGGER AT THE TROLL, YOU WILL LOSE POINTS AND THE DAGGER. ALSO, EQUIPPING AND RUBBING THE RING TO MAKE YOURSELF INVISIBLE DOES NOT HELP.

Now that this disclaimer is out of the way, let's avoid him and go west. Nothing important here. Go west another screen and look at the ground. You'll notice a bowl. Pick it up. For some reason, when you look at it in the inventory (which gives you an easy-to-miss point), it says "fill" just under the rim. If you type in the command "say fill," the bowl magically fills up with some sort of stew. Save the stew for later.

INFINITE FOOD

Problems?

Go west again, and you'll come across a walnut tree. Take one of the walnuts that are on the ground. Open it up, and you'll find a small nugget of pure gold. If you're near the walnut tree, you'll see squirrels run back and forth onscreen. Nice.

Going west takes you to a spooky looking part of the forest. There's nothing here, and going west again takes you back to the gingerbread house. Let's go north.

Going north takes you to some weeping willows and a lake. There is also a snake on top of one of the trees, but it doesn't seem to do anything other than move it's head around when you move left and right.

There is another meadow west of here. There's nothing to do here, though.
