You take the lid off the bottle but before you can unfasten your trousers, a ball of light races out of the bottle and strikes you in the chest.

The bottle is empty

You are levitating a few inches off the ground and your entire body is glowing brightly.

Command?

Whilst pondering life, you realize the small mimic had pretended to be a rusty lock.
You have a sudden epiphany. Racing up the ladder, you find that the hatch is not secured and lifting it up haul your sorry ass up into
a mammoth cavern.

[Shaking the Skeleton]

You shake the skeleton. The skull, which now that you take a closer look doesn't appear to be part of the same skeleton as the skeleton body (which you can tell because it was connected by a flimsy piece of duct tape), falls off the floor and rolls onto the ground.

[Asking the Skeleton what it's doing]

The skull responds: "Don't ask him - he's got no head for those kind of question. As for me, I just got a temporary gig while waiting for the next Monkey Island game to be released. Hi, I'm Murray."

You are looking at a copy of Judy Blume's "Wifey." It is the gripping erotic adventures of a lonely house-wife. As you begin to flip through the pages, a note drops out. It reads, "Don't trust the skull! It has no brain and speaks not what it knows!"

The book hits the skull, Murray. He responds with glee, "ooh, my mother never let me read this one!" He burries his ocular cavities in the text.
You notice that behind the throne on which the headless skeleton sits is a small passageway, one that seems to have been obscured by bricks. The bricks have fallen away, due to what you guess is time. There are cobwebs covering the entrance.

To the South, you notice a faint light. You're guessing that the mammoth cavern extends that far.

The passage leads a short way to a wall that may be a door of some sort. It is ill-fitting and you can see that there's a larger space through the cracks.

On the floor is a brass key and a bottle of rubbing alcohol.

Your pulse is normal.

Your lamp doesn't illuminate the room through the cracks, but upon closer examination you see where a rusty latch holds the door closed.

The hook-type latch holding the door closed appears to be rusted in place. You're unable to get a very good grip on it, but it doesn't move easily.

You are looking at a piece of a larger map. It shows a large room, some corridors, and a few smaller rooms, but it's impossible to make sense of without more of the map.

You try to splash some alcohol on the latch, but it's hard to get it through the crack in any quantity. Most of it is on the wall and the door. The latch doesn't seem to be any less rusty.
