Inside Building
You are inside a building, a well house for a large spring.
You can see a nest of golden eggs, some precious jewelry, some diamonds, some tasty food, a treasure chest, some bars of silver and a set of keys here.

Safely deposited.

That's plainly inedible.
Oh, of course. Forgot the seasoning.

>eat pearl
That's plainly inedible.
You slurp the oily lump down in a single gulp and, feeling quite pleased with yourself, start climbing back up to the oyster's room. Suddenly, a sharp pain pierces your stomach. You try to continue on, but it only get worse, and in a moment you have dropped to your knees on the cave floor. What is happening?
Understanding dawns as the first green-black limb bursts free of your abdomen in a spray of gore. It wasn't a pearl at all, was it? As you spiral down into the darkness, you try to scream, but your lungs are already lost in the churning, fleshy mass that used to be your chest.

Have we explored all the exits from the Bedquilt Room yet, or was the Oriental Room the only unique exit from that place?
There are several ways from that room that we haven't gone. They are marked as "explore randomly", so who knows? There are also a few other exits from other rooms we haven't tried.
The Oriental Room is actually off of the Swiss Cheese Room rather than Bedquilt.

Edit: Oops, forgot to make a vote. Uh, we didn't explore the other exit in the Waterfall Room, did we? Go there.
We have not! Let's see what's up there.

You clamber up the plant and scurry through the hole at the top.
In Narrow Corridor
You are in a long, narrow corridor stretching out of sight to the west. At the eastern end is a hole through which you can see a profusion of leaves.

Steep Incline Above Large Room
You are at the top of a steep incline above a large room. You could climb down here, but you would not be able to climb up. There is a passage leading back to the north.
