Clawfury and Clawtool could see that they are in a large red room, a large and very long table is stretched across sideways in the middle of the room. Beyond the table, there is a very large working oven and a workbench beside it. To the left of the workbench, a white door can be seen locked by a golden padlock, to prevent it being open. Clawtool walked over to the long table, she noticed some jugs and plates on the table. There are four jugs and four dish of different colour, they are coloured green, white, orange and yellow, there is some small label below each jugs and dishes.
The labels on the green jug and dish reads 'Green Liquid' and 'Great Lembas'
The labels on the white jug and dish reads 'Unknown Taste' and 'Unfinished Tart'
The labels on the orange jug and dish reads 'Tangy Orange' and 'Tasty Olive'
The labels on the yellow jug and dish reads 'Nasty Yellow' and 'Nifty Yeast'
These is also a large balancing scale beside them, the scale is currently uneven. The lower end of the scale has a solid cylindrical metallic block attached to it and lies beneath a hollow tube that been fixed to a stand near the scale. Clawtool noticed on top of the metallic block is a large golden key. The higher end of the scale is empty except for a large shallow circular plate and some writing is etched on the surface of the plate. Clawtool read out the writing carefully
'MAKING A GOOD START IS WORTH YOUR WEIGHT IN GOLD,' Clawtool squeaked loudly to Clawfury.
Clawtool nose twitched violently as some of the dust from the metal plate enter her nose and she begin to sneeze!
'ATCHOO!' pipped Clawtool, as she wipe her delicate nose and blinked as the writing has been altered slightly!
The sign now reads :- 'MAKING A GOOD TART IS WORTH YOUR WEIGHT IN GOLD'
'So we need to make a tart to get the key from the tube.' Clawtool realised after working out the clue from the sign.
Clawtool tasted the 'Green Liquid' and work out that it was lime juice, the nasty yellow was lemon juice and the tangy orange was obviously orange juice.She became a bit wary when it come to the 'unknown taste' and take a sip very carefully, clawfury sensed something was wrong when clawtool expression turn awry.
'What is it?' said Clawfury
'Er... why don't you try it yourself,' Clawtool replied as she handed the white jug to Clawfury.
Clawfury gulp a big swig from the jug and then immediately spit it all out
'It is plain water!' spluttered Clawfury.
'I know,' laughed Clawtool in a fit of giggle.
Clawtool pours all of the orange juice, water, some lime juice and lemon juice into the unfinished tart, tossed in the tasty olives and nifty yeast then carefully make a small pastry covers with the great lembas covering the unfinished tart, ready to be cooked in the oven.
Clawtool grab the plate from the scale and put the tart on top of it and place it into the oven and turn it on.
About twenty minute later, a rich aroma can be smelled from the oven as Clawtool's lovely fruit tart is ready as the yeast inside the tart make the tart grows and turn it nice and golden. Clawtool carefully extract the plate from the oven and place it back on the scale. The scale lowers down from the weight of the tart which in turn lifted the other end upwards and Clawfury was able to grab the key as it emerged from the tube.
Clawfury walk to the door with the padlock and insert the golden key, which turn smoothly and he remove the lock and open the door. Clawfury turn around towards Clawtool and beckons her forward.
'Come on let get a move on,' said Clawfury.
'Hold on, it be a right shame to waste these food and drink, can't we just finish them before we go?' begged Clawtool.
'I guess we can, as i feeling a bit thirsty myself,' Clawfury said in resignation as his stomach grumbled.
'Let me make you a nice lemonade', as Clawtool poor the remaining lemon and lime juice together and mixed it with the water to create a nice lemonade for the both of them. Soon after a few minute they devoured the fruit tart with some satisfaction.
'What can i say, you do make the best food clawtool,' Clawfury approved at Clawtool.
'Well it was easy with the cooking ingredient we have,' Clawtool said modestly.
Clawfury and Clawtool proceed to the next room and find themselves in another room. This room however is empty except for two hole sandwiched between a statue on the rear wall. The left hole has a picture of an axe above it and the one on the right has a picture of a dagger.
'I can't possibly fit in that hole!' exclaimed Clawtool.
'Oh yes you can!' Clawfury grinned as he find the perfect revenge for the water incident!
Clawfury grabbed Clawtool and push him fast towards the right hole, Clawtool felled and helpless barrel rolled into the right hole with a scream of 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!'.
Clawfury laughed as he got his own back at Clawtool, he squatted down and then charge towards the left hole with a cry of 'KHAZAD-DUM!' and enter the left hole.
After Clawtool and Clawfury left the room, in spectacular fashion. Something was happening over in the scale room.
The workbench next to the oven slides open revealing a dark hole with stone steps leading downwards, Nastasha emerged from down below and entered the scale room. Nastasha tsk in disappointment at the mess left by Clawtool and Clawfury.
'Such messy eaters,' shakes her head in disgust.
Nastasha tidy up the plates and jugs and rearrange them in the correct order. Nastasha place the green dish and jug first then the white ones then the orange and finally left the yellow for last. Nastasha examined the order she put in.
'TO...FG...GL...MB, TOFGGLMB... yes!' whispered Natasha softly to herself.
'I just got one more person to check.' noted Natasha, as she return to the workbench, descended down the stone steps and the workbench slide over and covered up the stone steps, leaving no traces of anyone setting afoot on the scale room.
