You uncork the vial and down it.\sn\sn\n\nNothing happens for a moment. Then a wave of dizziness comes over you. You drop the vial and fall to your hands and knees. Your bones feel like they're shuddering beneath your skin. Your lungs feel tight, it is difficult to breathe, the feeling passes, then it returns. It feels like you're being squeezed over and over by a giant hand. You clutch the floor, unable to do anything else until finally it stops.\sn\sn\n\nYou stand up, bracing yourself against the pyramid. You find that the shelf you found the vial on, which before was a little below waist-height, is now just above your head.\sn\sn\n\n<<if $keyheld gt 0>>The key you held in your hand is now too large and heavy to take with you. <<set $keyheld= -1>>\sn\sn<<endif>>\n\n<<set $size = $size + 1>>\n\n<<display "Inside">>
